The first of the costumes is fairly
well adapted to the wheel, and it con-
sists largely of the same attire worn
by male and female riders everywhere.
A striking change is apparent in the
afternoon and evening costumes. For
material in the morning men wear the
same tweeds and cheviots which have
been high in favor for so long, while
the bicycle girls costumes for morning
are OF serge, covert cloth and such ma
terials as have become very common.
In the afternoon, under the new idea,
the male bicycle rider should wear
cutaway coat of either three or four
buttons and a pair Of light colored
trousers. a standing collar and a four
in-hand tie must be worn, whether the
rider is wearing a negligee or the or
dinaly white shirt
For the lady's afternoon costume wa
tered silk, crepe de Chine, the ever
present poplin or moire velour is de-
sirable. There is no absolutely iron
clad regulation in regard to this. The
usual materials which would be util-
lied by ladies for afternoon dresses are
all considered apropos to the wheel. The
sailor hat and the toque will generally
be tabooed Every lady who rides a
wheel now should have a hat that is
not Il flower garden, but more resembles
an aviary through the bird or birds
which it has been decreed should perch
upon it.
The evening costume is the strangest
of the whole. If one would be ex-
ceedingly proper then the train should
be worn. or, rather, the demi-train. In
some instances it is decreed that the
costume should be decollete, with ell
bow sleeves. the hands and the lower
portions Of the arms being covered
with gloves of chamois skin. The dress
should be cut in any Of the prevailing
modes, and as strict attention must be
paid 10 the general appearance as if the

MOTHERHOOD.
Mrs, Pinkham Declares No Woman
 Need Despair.

There are many curable causes for sterility in women. One of the most common is general debility, accom- panied by a peculiar condition of the blood.
 Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pink ham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She will tell you, free of charge, the cause of your trouble and what course to take. Believe me, under right condi- tions, you have a fair chance to become the joyful mother of children. MRS. LUCY LITTLE, 255 Henderson St., Jersey City, N. J., certainly thinksso. Shesays:
 "l am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and cannot find words to express the good it has done me. I was troubled very badly with the leucorrh9a and severe womb pains. From the time I was married, in 1882, until last year, I was under the doctors care. We had no children. I have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the paper, and have used five bot ties of her medicine. It has done more for me than all the doctors ever had It has stopped my pains, and has brought me fine little girl. have been well ever since my baby was born. I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinkham's medicine to all women suffering from sterility."
