A New York paper tells us that the
bicycle girl is not exactly a creature of

She appeared in England as long ago as
1919, and created nearly as great a
sensation as she has in recent times. She
did not wear boomers or short skirts or

was so constructed that her dress, in the
words of contemporary writer, could
float easily and gracefully to the ground.
A picture shows the original bicycle girl
as she appeared in 1919. The machiue has
two light iron wheels running in a line.
The front wheel turns on a pivot which.
by means of a short lever, serves to steer
the machine. The back wheel ALWAYS
