After several years of trials and tears the proper feminine cycling dress has been evolved. Of course, this state ment does not mean that all girls who ride must dress alike, but rather that their gowns conform to certain rules,
 When purchasing or making a wheel ing rig" girl must be sure that she secures a skirt which will not blow away from the machine nor be full enough to catch. It should be scant and straight, following the movement of

WRITINGS OF WILLIAM |.
Grave Sense of Responsibility Which Weighed Upon Him.

Weighed Upon Him.
 The military writings of Emperor William l., or, as he is officially entitled on the cover of the book. William the Great" are published in two yoIumea on the occasion of the centenary celes} brations. The first volume embraced 43 short treatises on special subjects which were of current interest in the military development of Prussia froniI 1921 to 1847. The secon6 volume con-I tains 12 longer essays on more general ] military topics and covers the period from 1S4S to 1865. This posthumouyI publication has q historical as we'll as{ a personal interest. In the latter as pect it exhibits the extraordinary mi.j nuteness of the study which the lateI emperor from his earliest manhood deI voted with Hohenzollern's determined ton to the profession of arms. In the| ! first volume what strikes the reader onI the most superficial examination is the] remarkable variety and interest of theI subjects dealt with. as the following| list taken almost at random, may ind dicate: The tactical employment of| large cavalry masses. the training of| ene-year volunteers, army clothing, the] admission of discharged prisoners into| the army, the full-dress uniform of officers, the training of troops to end dure hard exertion, the question of two] or three years service, gymnastics and1 bayonet exercise. The then prince of Prussia exhibits a striking independ-| ence of opinion, which would iustify| the historian in claiming for him al large initiative in the development of) Prussia's modern military greatness,| whatever view may be entertained of his personal influence upon the poit-l ical development of his country in com parison with Prince Bismarck.
 In the second volume the sllhiecfs se-! lected for treatment seem to have did rect practical bearing upon the political changes which were taking place or1 ripening for Europe. The decisive fac-a l tor in the battle of Koniggratz, the needle gun, is discussed in all it's prac-| tical aspects and the writer prophetical-1 1 ly points out how the belief in the su-' l periority of this weapon and the con- fidence which it inspires in those who
 are armed with it is no less important than the panic of the enemy when the

skirt has straight, narrow gores for the front and sides. In the back it is very full, with the fullness strapped down for five inches below the waist
 Naturally, one immediately considers this fullness objectionable, but it ism t. It is plaited in such a way that the skirt divides evenly, the parts falling on opposite sides of the wheel Inside the skirt the plaits are fastened to- gether with tape, that they may not blow or catch. In front there are other tapes running from the front seams to straps about the legs. They prevent the skirt from blowing up in front and facilitate an easy motion.
 The rest of the suit is not so impor- tant, although careful attention to de- tails is what mars or makes it.
 The jacket selected should be one that buttons, preferably with loose fronts. An open jacket is useless, be- cause, when the weather is warm a jacket is unnecessary; when it is cool, it is also likely to be windy, and then an open jacket blows and flaps about in very uncomfortable manner.
 Two other important points-don't wear heavy collar, or heavy hat. Get both as light as possible, if you would be cool and comfortable when riding.
 Another don't: Make no mistake about the material for your gown. Re member that the exercise is heating, and that thick dress will add an un- necessary weight. Get tweed or chev- tot, or any material that has sufficient body; but don't have it heavy.
 One might write forever of the bolero and yet not tell all it's glories. Some of the newest are made entirely of white gimp, edged with plaitings of satin- finished hsse. There is also new kind of guipure lace, in which white and but tercup color mingle. and this alone is largely used for boleros.

the limbs without other perceptible mo- ton.
 There are many styles of skirt ad- yoeated, but as matter of fact there is but one shape that is at all graceful and practicable.
 The ordinary divided skirt has been tried and found wanting, as the wind carries it back from the knees in a very ugly manner. Other divided skirts have apron fronts buttoned on, and they would be satisfactory if one never attempted to walk in cycling dress. As it is, the back effect is not to be toler- ated for one minute.
 The skirt that seems to fill all the requirements is the habit shape. This

origin of Department Stores.

The present. department store system originated about 40 years ago with the great dry goods firm of Todd Burns &s Co, of Dublin. When A T. Stewart re- visited Ireland, about 1861, he exam ined the innovation closely and began to introduce some of the features in his New York store. It was John Wan emalSer who first elaborated them on an extensive scale.

The "FInsh- of the Fusilier.

Stitched to the back of their tunic collars, the officers and sergeants of the Royal Welsh fusiliers wear the fash black silk bow, which is relic of the old pigtail days in the army. In Can non's Historical Records of the Twen- ty-Third Regiment" printed in 1s47, there is plate showing an officer whose back is turned to the spectator. thus affording a good view of the flash" as then worn. But half a century before that time it was officially noted hat the officers of the regiment wore the hair turned up behind. At about that period this method of fastening up the hair with bow, or fash" was the .'gren- adler fashion" of wearing it, and doubt less the fash in use to-day commem- crates the old style of hair-dressing in the regiment, which was the last to wear the flash" the Twenty ninth be- ing the last to wear pigtails and pow dered hair. At one time q regimenisi custom required all officers of tine Twen- ty-ninth to wear their swords at mess; but the habit became relaxed. and final- ly gave place to the existing practice of the captain and subaltern of the day thus wearing the weapon. and still g1v- ing to the Twenty ninth (First Worces- tershire regiment) a marked peculiarly i'll dress.-Pall Mali Magazine,
