LONDON, Dec. 1-By a judicious
combination of ideas based on Shake
speare and common sense, Nine. Sarah
Grand, the worldfamous authoress of
1.-THE Heavenly Twins" has evolved a
bicycle costume for women that is a
STARTER. And, as Nine. Grand's adj
mirers point out, the subject Of the
correct bicycle costume for women has
been for so long a favorite one with
cranks and reformers of all classes
that it is not an everyday occurrence
for anything startling to be success
fully launched on the troubled sea of
woman's apparel. To the novelty Of
the costume Nine. Sarah Grand has
added the novelty of a name. She
calls her new bicycle dress for women

considers that in devising it she has
given additional cause for rejoicing
among women during the coming holt
day season.
To begin to explain Nine. Grand S
costume it is necessary to take the

explanation, to build the Nine. Grand

Startling Bicycle Costume

costume around her. Nine. Grand Is
an enthusiastic admirer of Shakespeare,
and the more she studied the free and
easy grace of Rosalind of the russet
doublet and hose, the more she became
convinced that had bicycles been in use
during the Shakespearean era, the
doublet and hose would have been the
costume that level-headed women
would have adopted. 1t was even an i'm
proVement on the male bicycling cos
tune, argued Nine. Grand, for even the
emancipated man who discarded his
voluminous trousers for wide knee
breeches and stockings when he mount
ed the fascinating wheel, occasionally
complained that the revolving spokes
caught in the 'knidker" cloth and made
trouble. But the hose of Rosalind
would prevent even the possibility of
spill from the wardrobe and the
wheel becoming on terms of too close
intimacy during a ride.
So Nine. Grand proceeded to think
out her Rosalind bicycle costume, dis
carding one by one the nineteenth cen
tury articles of dress that fettered the
sex when aWheeling.
mo waist for me- said Nine. Grand,
at the beginning of her studies, "a
waist on a cycle is absurd. I can never
bear to ride in anything tight, espe-
cially corsets, and 1 like to feel free
and comfortable. -
And away went the corsets and after
them the waist, then the skirt and
the boomers, until Rosalind, the lay
figure, was deprived Of everything
that pertained to modern costuming
and stood ready to be habilitated in
the Shakespearian reform dress that
Madame Grand had in mind. The
creation that is the outcome of her
efforts is declared by all who have
seen it, set off on the famous novel
lists graceful figure, to be great
success. 1t combines the rare qualities
of prettiness and comfort, and it sure
to find its way to America, where such
a combination in qualities in women
costume is fully appreciated and Gag
erly attached.
The costume is made for winter
wear. although it can be fashioned
readily enough into an attractive sum-
mer rig for the athletic girl 1t is
made of white fur and follows the
Rosalind idea very closely. Over the
shoulder is thrown the natty cloak
of the Rosalind era, which can be
discarded at the option of the bicy-
clist, but certainly adds to the smart
ness of the wearer's appearance. The
hose and doublet are modified into
tight-fitting knickerbockers of white
fur and on a slender woman look
extremely well. The accompanying

clad in the costume she has evolved
gives a good idea of how the novel
bicycle dress will look on women of
attractive build. OF course the way
the costume will look depends alto
gether on the figure and general APP
pearance of the Wearer. 1t isn't every
one who makes a good looking Rosa
lind, and some women do we'll to cling
to the skirt or the boomers for the
sake of the disguise they afford. a
well-formed woman, however, will
have in the new Sarah Grand costume
dress that will make her free from
restraining drapery, and of attract

1t remains to be seen how many
women will have the courage to in
dorse Sarah Grand's idea by adopting
it. 1t is such a startlingly long step,
even from the bloomer costume, that
most women will probably be a little
shy about appearing in public until
holder spirits have taken the rough
edge off the sensation such a costume
will cause. Rosalind on the stage is
one thing. Rosalind on a bicycle in
Hyde park OF Central park is another,
although the distinction is a fine one
when simmered down.
Madame Grand does not believe that
she is entitled to be roughly criticized
on saccount Of her new costume.

point, unless she chooses to make
it so. l think we are beginning to
show nowadays that we can do many
things which used to be thought 'un-
femenine,' and yet be womanly, never
theless. Bicycling is one of them, and
the wearing of a rational bicycle cos
tune goes with it. The skirt is evil

bad accidents from mine catching, and

is what led me to devote a good deal
