1t is not necessary to bind the strap. Many
people prefer cloth strap, and
this can be lined with crinoline and stitch
ed until It is strong.
Flat buttons can be placed upon the leg
gingS or the small shoebuttons used. The
smallest and neatest of button holes must
be made and button-hook used in fas-
tening the leggings- Nothing spoils but
tonholes like buttoning with the fingers.
The final stepin the making of the bicy-
Gle suit is the Tam o. Shanter cap, which
is the most stylish shape hat known for
wheeling. 1t protects the face, is cool and
has certain style" about 1t that makes
can easily be secured from the left-overs
of the skirt
The size of the Tam depends upon per-
sonal tastes. Many like one that meas
ures just twelev inches across. Others
like smaller Tam. If the cap when
made, looks awkward it is probably too
large for the face, and should be trimmed
down
Make two circular pieces the same size.
They need not be exactly round as a
slight variation in the brim produces a
pleasant tilt. Line the pieces with crino-
line, and face with satin on the inside. Cut
out from the under piece circle as large
as the crown of the head.
Now take a strip of tweed, or cloth of
any kind, satin if you prefer 1t; and finish
1t all around as neatly as though for
belt. Bind the edges Of the Tam with
black braid and with the same binding
fasten the cap band to the top of the hat.
AS you sew, you will suddenly find the
Tam shaping itself, and by the time you
have finished you will see before you a
very pretty hat.
Buy two stiff plumes and stand them at
one side with a small knot of black satin
ribbon to hide the ends.
The cap and the bolero can be managed
by any one at all. And the leggings by
any neat sewer who understands the i'm
portance of a close finish and hot iron
for pressing. Three DRESSINGS are not too
much to give the leggings when they are
done.
The bicycle skirt can be trimmed with
tiny rows of braid, or 1t can have some
of the heavy braiding that matches the
bolero. That is wholly a matter of per-
sonal taste.
A suit like this should not cost over s.
complete counting the plume upon the
hat But If there are pieces of old mater
ial in the house, or an old jacket that can
be cut down for a bolero, as is generally
done, it will be much less.
The bicycle skirt is faced but not lined;
and the bolero has no lining except in the
upper part of the sleeves, where a little
stiffening is put in.
Many persons stitch a bicycle suit with
linen thread instead of silk, as they think
il holds better in rough usage. But that
too, is a matter of taste
The very newest color for a bicycle suit
is a mixed goods of tan touched with green
and yellow, a Scotch pepper and salt"
combination, and next to that comes the
army OF blues.
1t is claimed that homemade bicycle
suit, if successful, is extremely so, and
much better than any other.

The most valuable Of small dogs Is the
Japanese spaniel. A dog year old, weigh
ing three and one-half pounds, Is worth
500. The dogs seldom weigh less than
three and one-half pounds, but as they
decrease IN weight they increase In value.
a three-pound spaniel Is worth much more
pounds, and one weighing two and three
quarters or two and one-half pounds very
much more. japanese spaniels have been
sold for as much as $500. There are large
japanese spaniels that are not imported,
and have no special value; the small dogs
are very rare, and there rarity doubtless
adds considerably TO their value. but they
are highly priced otherwise They are
Rood-natured and lively little creatures.
Their markins are black and white. ana
white and yellow, and some dogs are
marked with all three colors. The Japan
csc spaniel lives about ten years.

Council Proceedings.

The council meeting on Tuesday even
business of importance was transacted.
The equanimity of the city fathers was
somewhat disturbed by the report that
the State Board oil Control had found
the condition of the city lookup unsat-
factory and threatened to condemn it if
1t is not Immediately repaired. No ac-
ton was taken, however.
Aid. Long, notwthsta nding Treas
urer Hunters statement to the con-
trary, thought that gentleman could
and should give detailed list ofbonds.
The city attorney reported that the
papers had been made out IN the case
of the city against b. +. Hutchins and
that the case will come up at the No
vember term of court.
Mrs. Hordan presented a bill of $500
for nursing. Mrs. Riordan injured her
self last winter, on Fourth street West
owing to a defect in the sidewalk, and
has been laid up ever since, and she
now seeks compensation in the shape
of nurses fees. The city attorney should
see that the claim covers damages to
the patient also before he pays 1t.
The board of works was ordered to
hire none but married men and unmar-
Rod men were advised to get married
if they would work for the corpo-
ration. The idea is a good one, bnt
how about the man who has relatives
depending upon him or who is too ut
terly homely to get a wife?
