around the room, the fastest of friends
Louise of Prussia with Gear Alexander
love to scorch through the mazes of the
lanciers, but perhaps this latter isn't so
historically incorrect.
The accompanying illustration, which
is drawn from life, presents correct
representation of scene at one of these
entertainments which constitute the
latest fad of the cyclists in and out of
fashion. On such occasions the ladies
attending must either be in full even
ing DRESS or else so gowned as to repre-
sent some character let it be burlesque or
historical. The same rule applies to the
gentlemen, and the dress suit or the cos
tune of some dead but not forgotten
celebrity must be the order of the even
ing for the sterner sex. There is not even
an exception to prove the rules. 1t is
like the French ball, over which New
York raves. All the admission cards in
the world to this are unavailing unless
the holder thereof is in evening dress.
The academy, or whatever place may
be selected for the scene of the ride, is
always deliberately decorated. Just now
patriotism is rampant, and the national
colors find exceeding favor. Still, even
the red, white and blue is occasionally
banished, and in it's place may appear
various colors that emphasize the taste,
good or bad, of those who have been
placed in charge of the arrangements.
College colors have become entangled i'll
this decoration, and sometimes the result
is exceedingly unique. For instance, at
O recent entertainment, the orange and
black of Princeton, the blue of Yale, the
good old Harvard crimson, and the colors
of two other well known colleges, were
all massed. The effect was simply
startling. Harmony was cast to the
winds and the desire to be entirely out of
the ordinary was fulfilled in great de-
gree
Still another decorative fad for these
occasions is to have the costumes of the
ladies and gentlemen attending to all
correspond, at least in slight measure,
in color to the decorations of the walls
OF the gathering place. At such times as
these, it really seems as if the millennium
in harmony had arrived To be sure,
the lion and the lamb are not in evil
dence, but the shades that the various
people consider to be thoroughly in har-
mony with the decorations regarding
which they have been notified, are GER
tainly fully as incongruous as would be
the king of beasts and the creature of
simplicity in close communion.
1t is really charming sight to witness

GATHERINGS WHICH ARE POPJT.
LAR IN NEW YORK.
How a Fancy Dress Bicycle Party is Con
ducted-Phe Costumes Which are Worn
and the Way in Which the Guests
Amuse Themselves.

New York, May 15.-The latest is the
fancy dress bicycle party, not on the
boulevards or to some charming suburb,
but indoors, preferably in bicycle acad-
envy In fact, the fancy dress ball that
has SO long held undisputedsway, has found
a rival. 1t used to be the way that only
what were known as 'trick riders'' were
sklllful with their wheels but nowadays
two-thirds of those who enjoy bievcle
riding are sufficiently expert to make
their wheels do almost everything but
talk. The bicycle ride mentioned is no
theory but an established fact Not a
week passes but what an event of the
sort is greatly enjoyed.
The persons who take part in these
affairs do not, strange as it may seem. at
tire themselves in bicycle costumes. To
be sure, their dresses and suits are not
equal to those which were on view at
the Bradley Martin ball, but they are
often very unique and always interesting.
1t seems strange to think of Mary Queen
OF Scots riding bike, or of Charles II
begging for her hand in the next bicycle
reel, while Oliver Cromwell pedals off
broken hearted because some one has
gained precedent. Yet this is exactly
what happens. Then Napoleon Bonapare
and Britannia ride away in circle

eE Worth of Advice.

In the old days when the lord chief JUS
tice was simply Mr.. Charles Russell he
was stopped by solicitor of his acquaint-
ance holding a e5 Bank of England note
in his hand. Passing the note to the bud
ding @. c., the solicitor inquired:
sis it genuine?"
The lord chief justice eyed it critically
and pronounced it good note, at the
same time deliberately putting it in his
pocket.
The solicitor thanked him and requested
the return of the note, but all the satisfac-
ton he got was:

4 Fortunate Escape.
A Burlington Young Lady Tells the Story
Of Her Rescue.
From the Clipper. Burlington. VI.

FROM tte CCtpptTs oUTttlyION, W
A reporter called upon Miss Lillian
Warner at her home, 415 St. Paul Street,
Burlington, VT, and begged the favor of
an interview.
The young lady is a musician and a
pianist of considerable renown, and has
her time fully occupied by engagements
to play at concerts and other entertain
ments that are constantly taking place in
the city, and the strain upon the strength
and nervous energy of the pianist can
be easily imagined.
II never could have stood it once, but
I have something now" said Miss War
ner enthusiastically, 'that braces me for
my work Some little time ago | was ut
terly unable to attend to my duties, ow-
ing to disarrangement of the nervous
system that affected my eyes with all the
rest They became so weak and troubled
me so that l finally went away into the
country to rest. The benefit obtained
from the change of scene and freedom
from care was, however, merely tempora-
nv, and upon my return to work rapidly
lost all that had gained and more"
. But did you consult a doctor?'
sob yes, indeed; l put myself under
the care of several doctors, and even tried
many remedies recommended for cases
like mine, but the medicines had no last
ing effect, and it looked as though ner-
vous prostration was to be my portion.
81 was about ready to throw physic
to the dogs when l first heard of DR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and it was with but small faith in any
benefit to be derived from them that l at
last made up my mind to try them.
Hardly had L taken the first box be-
fore [ experienced a great relief from the
weakness and nervous troubles with
which / was afflicted, and my eyes. grew
stronger every day"
Are you taking the pills now?' was
the next query.
''No; as told you, the first box helped
me a great deal, and after | had taken SIX
boxes I felt SO we'll that left off the
medicine entirely and have not taken any
now for some weeks. l am able to at
tend to all duties and feel as well as can
be, while my eyes continue to improve
right along. / do not even mind the long
walk from my home to the business part
of the city,
Miss Warner further said that DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People build
up the system, giving lasting effect and
not merely fictitious strength for the
time being.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie contain, in a condensed form, all the
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor, ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus dance. sciat-
lea, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effect of Is. grippe,
palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow
compilations, all forms of weakness either
