, object of interest among the society
) bicycle talk from morning until night
) This of course is in reference to the
ladies. The men say nothing because
, they don't feel that way after the
, bills are paid. If any lady desires a
little unpleasantness all she has to do
lis to say that her wheel is better than
of her neighbor. There is pitched
battle at once. OF course it is recog-
Inized as being a fad, this hankering
, after the dusty roads on swift run
ming bicycle, but even If 1T is, no
amount of persuasion can bring the
conviction that bicycling is anything
but the most pleasant of occupations.
So it goes from day to day until now
ride bicycles is becoming so large that
well, it has the effect of putting the
various agents in good humor.
The following party met at the P.
TIC. courts, Union Square and started

met by Mrs Irwin and Miss Spalding.
After a short time spent in pleasant
converse, the bicyclists were invited
to the dining room where supper was
served.
The table was decorated in true P.
T. c. style. In the center stood large
bunch of red carnations while at either
end were smaller punches of the same
flower Running across Inc table on
either side were broad ribbons of scar
let and navy blue, and the shade for
the light above the table was made of
paper to match. At each plate were
bouquets of red carnations for the
ladies and boutonniers of the same
flowers for the men. They were tied
with ribbons in the P. T. G. colors.
