Frank Mcdaniel of Wilmington and Frank

the record between Washington and New

The start was made from the Capitol
building. and. notwithstanding the inclem-

see the wheeinen start on their great race

at the city hall in New York.
1t was o'clock when McDaniers pace
makers started OFF, with the Wilmingtonian
in hot pursuit. and as the riders disap-
peared from view those who gathered to-
see the start shook their heads and all
agreed that in view Of the rain, which was
bound to render the roads muddy and
heavy. both Dampman and Mcdaniel would
fail i'll their record-breaking attempt.
At precisely 9 O'Clock, when Dampman
mounted his wheel and prepared for the
start, w. s. Ray, the professional racing
man. was selected to pace him out of
Washington, fresh pacemakers being sta

some results, even il persistent following

RINGS ON HER TOES.
Gotham Society Girls Ornament The
Feet with jewels.

Gotham Society Girls Ornament Their
Feet with jewels.
In IN old nursery rhyme there was
a lady who cultivated what then SEEM
ed the remarkable habits of wearing
rings on her fingers and bells on her
toes" Her descendant, the society
woman of today, has in reversing the
old arrangement inaugurated a still
more remarkable habit, says the New
York World. Many of the rings which
the modern woman wears do actually
have bells on them; and as for wearing
rings on her toes, that is now an es-
tablished custom. Toe rings are not
yet visible in the jewelers. windows,
because they are as yet made only to
fill special orders; but If the fashion
is followed up, as it is likely to be,
they will soon be as plentiful as brace
lets or silver hatpins. There are, as
1t will be surrnised, a great many oc-
casions on which the toe ring cannot
be worn. It is not worn in daytime
under a shoe, nor in the evening un-
der a slipper. But there are times
when it is allowed to shine forth in
all its glory, and one of these times is
when it's owner is taking a Turkish
bath. The pride and delight which
society women take in their prettily-
shaped, exquisitely cared for feet, pos
sibly in most cases dates to only a
short time ago, but it is certain that
since at present a beautiful foot is
more valuable than eve before, and
any device calling attention to its at.
Effectiveness is most carefully cult
waited. A toe ring serves just this
purpose. Now, when the woman Of
many fads joins a Turkish bath party
she does not. under an impulse Of
mistaken modesty, conceal her feet
from view. She rather allows them to
be as conspicuous as the conditions
will allow, while her friends are en-
couraged to admire openly their white
ness and slenderness. AS a mark Of
extreme novelty she now places on
each big toe a ring which does not diff
fer at all, except in size, from the ones
she wears on her fingers. 1t may be
of plain gold, or it may be made brill
liant with Jewels. There are no re-
strictions as to its character. But,
grotesque as the idea appears at first
thought, a pretty ring is unquestion-
ably an ornament to a pretty foot, and
the women who are brought to realize
this will doubtless hasten to initiate
the example which has been set them.

She Had Thorn.

You have all seen this young man.
He. came here from a little country
town, and by hard work he is now
making a salary which once seemed a
fortune to him. He used to have only
one suit of clothes, and now he has
six. He knows that tan shoes do not
70 with a silk hat. and, also, that a
black tie is not the proper thing to
wear at an evening reception where
there are women. He has attained
an idea of the ~proprieties of life which
he could never have reached from a
years study Of the "Guide to Eth
ouette" which used to be read when he
was a clerk in a country store.
. So. when a girl came to town the
other day, this young man knew pre-
cisely this way in which a young wo-
man should be entertained. Her aunt
had come with her. He. took them to
the theater in a carriage. He had
not forgotten to send up a dozen
American Beauty roses. During the
performance he said all kinds of moth
ings to the girl, and vas deferential
to the maiden aunt. Then, after the
theater, he suggested supper. They
said that "they guessed that they
would like to 60" /.
He took them to the Waldorf. and
the waiter handed the menu card to
the girl and stood %reverently behind
her chair. She glanced over the bill Of
fare and threw It lightly aside.
"Charles," she said, and 1t seemed as
though, all in the spacious oom must

Armed for Emergencies.

When Fridtjof Nansen was a young
student he attended a ball and danced
with many partners. Returning long
after midnight through the streets to
his lodgings, he heard loud outcries
from a woman who was struggling
with two rufians. In another moment
the woman broke away from them and
ran to the spot where Nansen was
standing. The two men were close
behind her in hot pursuit. Nansen
was an athlete full of courage and vigor
and put himself on guard as the men
approached. He allowed the woman to
pass, but called upon the infatuated
pursuers to halt, standing directly in
their way, and hitting out first at one
and then at the other. The rufians,
angered by this unexpected attack,
turned resentfully upon the rescuer,
and would have o%verpowered him, and
possibly have murdered him, If he had
not shown presence of mind. Draw
ing himself up to his full height and
throwing back his coat collar so as
to expose the cotillion favors which
he had worn during the ball, he stern
ly asked them If they knew who he
was. The two assailants, awed by his
n and supposing him to be a
royal officer, were at once cowed. They
apologized roughly for not recognizing
him, dropped their arms, and sneaked
of in the opposite direction from that
which the woman had taken. This in
cident of Nansen's youth illustrated 1T
once the fearless courage and the readi-
ness of resource which were to char
acterize his career as al intrepid ex-
plorer.
