All Partake of the Progression IN

Extrayagant Costume OF Theatri-
cal Cycler Shocks the Police.

New York, March, 22.-If many
worthy people were shocked last year
by the boomers and knickerbockers
and short skirts worn by the woman
cyCler, they had better prepare for the
worst this year. The advance guard OF
the spring riders have been out in all
the glory of their new costumes and it
does not require an experienced eye to
discern a vast difference between the
modes of 1895 and 1855.
1t is all in the direction c. progress
sion, too-that is p progression as meas
urcd from the STANDPOINT of the dress
reformcr. Women who wore long
skirts last year wear short skirts with
boomers underneath this year. The
1896 girl who wore short skirts wears
boomers now. The bloomerite of 1895
Is full tledged knickerb0cker girl this
spring and the knickerbocker miss of
year ago seems almost to be dressed

costume hug the form from the tips of
her little toes 10 the mannish collar
about her neck.
More than tn u. There were only a
few CyClerS who mad the courage last
year to ride without leggings or
CATERS, although their more venture
some sisters in Paris had been doing
that very thing for two seasons or
more. But the gaiter or leggings is
doomed in 1896. or course many
women will wear them but not thOs
who are considered to be authorities
on the subject of bicycle dress. 1t has
been discovered that the high gaiter
carries too WuCh warmth with it, that
1t impedes the free use of the leg, that
