larger army of rome u concerned the
iron steed has for 9 season babe the
world farewell.
And now the question of caring Tor
the wheel Is strictly In order. Too many
fine machlnes-machines which meant a
cool hundted out of pocket when pur-
chased-wM hef apt to winter in the
laundry. the woodshed or the cellar
stairs. =
Out of use out OF MINDS new reading
of the old proverb. But devote a morn
Ing to preparing the wheel for winter
quarters and ut will come forth from
them in tie spring with all the fresh
ness of the flowers which bloom In that
season.
First ofAsan take the machine into a
room which has plenty of light and
no carpet to spoil and carefully brush
away all traces of wayfaring.
An exceifentdbfng9for the more intri-
cate cleaning is common coal oil. Some
the whee% removing the balls, etc.
Others sI1pply run the wheels down with
the oil ana i soft bit of cloth. The
bar and other bright portions may re-
ceive an tndividualg polish.
Moreovery I know of several athletic
women who .truly love" the machine.
These women have small channels cases
to fit EACH of the bright parts and keep
them snug until warm lays come once
more.
All little belongings of the wheel
should be kathsred together at the same
time. III lamp polished and laid away

AS to the best method Of disposing of
the wheel itself. To suspend it from the
best ways. said an expert with whom !
talked yesterday On this subject.
'sThis Is arrived att be said, with
stout rope and iron hooks or staples
driven in the ceiling. The ropes pass
under the rod, etc., OF the wheel, go
through the staples and are securely
tied. The wheel having been previously
drawn VI by them to hang In space.
Unless h cellar be an exceptionally
dry n it is not a safe spot for winter
ing the wheel. Dampness Is an unhealthy
quality for the atmosphere In this res
speet. The kitchen corner by the stove
is bad for the opposite reason. Some
halls have closets beneath the stairways,
n these. II no other use of them is Inns
