The final step in the making of the BIZ

The size Of the Tam depends upon per-

like d smaller Tam. If the cap. when

large for the face, and should be trimmed
down.
Make two circular pieces, the same size.

EASY TO MAKE.
But a bicycle suit is such simple
thing, so easily handled, that many a
woman would like to make one herself
if she knew how. She can always cut
off a skirt. but that does not fill the
bill" in these days OF saddle and di-
yiGed skirts.
A certain very celebrated man tailor
recently drew for me upon a slip Of
paper the outlines Of q pattern for BIZ
cvcie suit. Now" said he, any wO-
man who understands drcssmaking can
make a sui. from this; and II she does
not understand dressmaking she should
not attempt to make suit at all
The skirt which he drew was of the
kind that gives the effect OF a round
skirt when a woman is standing. 1t IS,
however. a saddle skirt and Is plan
ned to fall at each side of the wheel
when she is seated.
"TO make this" said he, "a woman or
perhaps llNt 4ttt Z S4tL AAN-tNS " A4A -
quire seven and a half yards of goods
twenty-seven inches wide. This IS for
the skirt alone and will allow skirt
thirty-three inches long. O. to the tops
of the bicycle boots. Those who want
n shorter or q longer skirt can make
the necessary allowance.
First lay the cloth upon a cutting
table. and cut out the big circular
pieces with the loop scooped out, like
the diagram. Cut two of these, one for
each division. Now sew the front
seams together (a-a), and bind them as
they Will be on the bias.

Now open on each side Of the front
gore with laps and buttons.
There are two skirts, one for each

them.

Paris, April EFF you start out to
view the new bicycle suits you will find
they are counted as being in four pieces.
These are skirt, jacket, leggings
counted as One), and cap. All the
Paris suits come tied up in punches Of
four each, and when you give an order
for a cycle suit, you may be asked if
you want cap with the coat and
jacket. The leggings are surely there.
There is always a question whether
it is cheaper to purchase a bicycle suit
outright or make it yourself. Ii is Ger
Jainly cheaper to buy ready-made
suit than 10 purchase the materials and
hire a dressmaker to put them together
for you. The cost Of the goods and the
hire of the dressmakcr, unless she be
of the exceptional kind, will more than
eat up the price Of ready made suit

AS TO CARSON AND GLEES0N
They Are in a Quandary as to
Their Footing.
THE McKINLEYITES OPPOSED
Neither Was for the President
Elect at ST. Louis, But Notwlth-
standing the Opposition of Ger
tain Political Opponents, They Ex-
pect to Control Some Patronage.

There is q wide difference of opinion
among District Republicans concerning the
probable attitude OF President-elect Nc
Kinley toward Col. Perry Carson, Col.
Gleeson and other leaders.
1t is a well-known fact that only u
very small percentage of District Repuh-t
lcans favored the nomination OF Major
Mckinley, and these were obscure persons
for the most part. There were no recog
nized leaders among the Canton Majors
supporters Now it turns out that the
corporalS guard OF original Mckinley
men are scheming To hog all the District
offices, and leave the followers of Allison
and Reed out in the cold.
1t will be remembered that there was
an active campaign for District delegates
to the st. Louis convention lasting some
thing like eight months. Political clubs
were organized in every one or the twenty,
two legislative districts and these clubs
were as general rule named in honor of
Tom Reed or Senator Allison. There was
only one Mckinley club, and this coIn-
posed OF colored men who had never figured
very largely as leaders.
1t is this club, located some where in
the old Seventeenth district, in South
to apply to the necks of the Carsons, Glee
sons. and other anti -McKinleyites. They
declare that every Republican black and
white. in the District, who supported any
other man than Mckinley for the FrcSi-
dental nomination is marked and will be
left out N the cold when the loaves are
handed round. The fact that Mckinley
was not a hot favorite with District Re-
pubicans is evidenced by the fact that
the sole cClored man who ran in his in
terest was beaten by Carson and Gleeson by
at least 5000 votes
Carson voted at St Louis for Allison and
GIeeson for Reed The friends of the ex-
delegates do not believe that they will be
punished by theincomlng administration for
exercising their right to vote for whom
they pleased, but on the contrary Col.
Gleeson and Col. Carson Will be largely in
it when appointments are to be made to
District offices.
1t can be said on the highest authority
that Col. Geeson would not accept any
place in the gift of the President. He
expects, however, TO be able to name "a
few men for office.
1t is different with Col Carson. The
colored colonel has got cold in his head
and wants, and expects. TO get a consulate
in warm climate. He wants to cure
that cold and thinks the government should
help him do it. Col. Carson, like his late
colleague, Col. Glecson, also expects to
land few prizes for his friends, the South
Washington Mckinley Club TO the contrary

THE SALE ENJOINE ED.
The Anacostia Road Will Not Be
Disposed of Today. M 81.

The sale of the Anacostia and Potomac
River Railroad, which had been set by
the Commissioners for today, because OF
failure to .ay for repairs of the
streets over which the tracks ran, was
yesterday afternoon restrained by an order
issed by Judge Cox.
In the bill for Injunction filed by PreSi-
dent H. a. Griswold, it is recited that
under the act of August, 1888, the com
street surface and paved the intervening
spaces with cobblestones and the outside
of the track with Belgian block. The
company never refused to keep the same
in repair and did not fail to pay the bills
rendered for the work. On the contrary
all repair work was paid for.
In September, 1894, however, the Com
missioners ordered E street, between Third
and South Capitol streets, paved with
asphalt block, thus changing the general
surface of the street. The company was
notified to make the change in the surface
under its jurisdiction to comply with the
asphalt block. The work was completed
and the company called upon TO make
payment as if for repairs. This it de-
clined to do, holding that an Improvement
and not repair had been made.
tits charged that the Commissioners had
the work done by contract, and not by
bid, as provided by law, and that one sum
claimed t. be due was paid at the time
demanded. The order issued is made re-
turnable Monday.
