For the Bicycle Girl,

Cycling golf stockings are being
adopted universally. At last women
are waking up to the fact that leggins
are uncomfortable and everything but
neat looking after they have been worn
two or three times, and that the bicycle
boot is next to impossible in hot wealth
er. This boot is even warmer than the
leggin and destroys perfect ankle mo-
ton, which is the secret of easy riding,
The golf stocking is both comforta BILE
and good to look at. One of the prettiest
patterns is dark brown and red mix
ture. Instead of having cuff at the
top it has simulated cuff about where
walking boot would come on the leg.
Then there are quite rich looking plaids
and stripes in blues and green's, blacks
and browns, grays and blacks, and so
on. Brighter colors are also coming
into favor. Golf stockings are all woven
ofwool, and for this reason many people
cannot adopt them. For such there is a
footless stocking intended for wearing
over the ordinary kind. 1t has the adj
vantage of not increasing the size of the
foot.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

wardrobe. re-" 'H ~
The accompanying picture shows one
of the most effective parasols that have
been made this season. The foundation
is of changeable blue and green silk,
lined with satin of bright yellow. The
stick is of wood with handle of mala-
chite and gold. Peacock feathers of I'M
usual size and variety of hue cover the
silk completely and suggest wonder
fully brilliant bird poised for fight.
French women, who originated the
fad, claim as one of it's merits that
it can be worn with any costume. The
peacock plumage is harmonious with
almost any summer gown and is de-
cided ornament at any function where
it may be worn. An imitation of this
idea is seen in the parasols of heavy
silk, brocaded in design resembling
the actual peacock feathers.

Frnits as Boot Cleaners.

Orange juice is one of the best dress
ings for black shoes or boots. Take a
slice or quarter of an orange and rub
it on the shoe or boot; then, when dry,
brush with soft brush until the shoe
shines like a looking glass. This is an
English recipe. Another fruit dressing
is for tan shoes, the inside of banana
skin. Rub the skin all over the shoe
thoroughly, wipe off carefully with a
soft cloth and polish with flannel
cloth, brisllly. Patent leather shoes
should not be polished with backing.
These are the hardest kind of shoes t.
keep looking well and require constant
care. They may be cleaned with damSs
sponge and Immediately dried with a
soft cloth, with occasionally little
vaseline or sweet oil. They must never
be donned in cold weather without
heating or they will crack as soon as
exposed to the cold air.-Chicago

Eruit in Hot weather.

1t is popular fallacy that the free
use of fruit in summer is the cause of
bowel disturbances, while as matter
of fact no diet can be more healthful
at this time than one composed of fruit
and farinaceous foods, with perfectly
pure milk. Flesh of all kinds decom-
poses with great rapidity both before
and after eating, and summer heats
greatly accelerate this process;
hence flesh food frequently causes
grave arrangement of the bowels, as
the poison produced by this decomposi-
ton acts powerfully as an emetic and
purgative. All meats are so heating
that they should be used sparingly dur
ing hot weather, and there is the added
argument that the whole system Graves
a change from the winters diet.

She was large woman with large

fuss, for she was very large and she
fused very conspicuously.
I had watched her on the platform
before the train came in sight. She was
making spasmodic dives afterher purse,
her tickets, her children, her lunch bas-
kets; she was evidently possessed with
the notion that she was about to lose
them. When she had cackled all into
the carriage her fussing was not fin
ished; she fused because she could
not see where the am sandwiches 'ad
got put to; she fused because George
had lost his penny; she fused because
she couldnot make up her mind whether

GOOD POSITION FOR WHEELING.

ing near the ground, and mounting and
dismounting are easier.
Then there is the girl with her saddle
too high. The fault in position is not so
easily detected. If you notice the foot
on the pedal at the lowest point you
will find it is only reached tiptoed, as
it were. There is also slight lateral
twist of the lower back muscles and
hips, which becomes very apparent in
hill climbing.
With the handle-bars too high, the
arms are too much bent at the elbow,
and there is loss of steadiness.
The position is regulated mainly by
(D the inclination of the trunk for
ward; (2) the relative position of trunk
and saddle;g(3) the adjustment of ham
dle-bars and saddle. -
With body and saddle in the proper
relative position the weight is sup
ported where the pelvic bones rest on
the saddle, and there should be no
pressure at any other point. The tilt
of the saddle should correspond to the
inclination of the body, and the trunk
and saddle should always form right
angle.
A good test of the height of the saddle
is made by first placing the saddle far
enough forward to put the rider well
over her work-the forward tilt to cor
respond with the inclination of the
body. If, sitting in the saddle, the foot
can be placed under the pedal so that
the pedal will rest on the instep, but al
most in horizontal line with the toe,
the height is right. srsu fa@ e%t. c#E
These are some things that a saddle
should not be:
For the average woman rider
1t should not be too soft and springy.
1t should not be too hard.
1t should not be too narrow.
1t should not have long peak or
horn.
1t should
Give equal support to both sides of
the body.
Be so adjusted that there is no an
terror pressure.
There must be perfect freedom of
movement at the hip joint. A saddle
with too broad horn restricts the free
action of the thigh muscles.
My first and last advice to women is:
Learn to use your wrench and adjust
your own saddle, bearing in mind the
best position for the saddle and your
self.

The beginner, who has been told to
"sits up straight" assumes a painfully
erect position. If the saddle is not
properly adjusted the tip of the spine
comes in contact with it, and the jar
ring is most injurious to the spinal
column. Again, the rider in this pos
ture depends upon the leg muscle alone
for propulsion, as the weight of the
trunk is thrown entirely upon the sad

is dangerous in the extreme for habit

taken that admits of the downward

An awkward position is sure to re-

effort. The knee is in painful evidence;
no good ankle movement is possible;
the shoulders are apt to be rounded in
the effort to reach the handle-bars, and

For Tired Eyes.

When awaking in the morning do not
rub the eyes; indeed, one ought never
to rub or press the fingers against the
eyes. If they feel at all irritated, sponge
them with cold water. Cold water has a
most beneficial effect upon the eyes;
and the strongest will find it good to
daily battle the eyes in cold water.
This invigorates them and helps
to keep them in good working
order. But it must be remem-
bered that quite cold water should only
be used when the body is at moderate
temperature. When one is very heated
or warm, the chill must be taken off the
