BICYCLE SCHOOL
RUN By GIRLS.
1t Stands in the Most Fashionable
Quarter Of Paris
And is Richly Patronized All
French Heiresses Come to These
Girls to Learn Because They
Don't Want to BE Ridiculous in
Mems Eyes-Their Rules for Bal
ancing.

Paris, December 22.-In one portion
if one of the most fashionable avenues
of Paris, now being turned to trade,
there stands an old mansion which in
its dilapidated state, is more glorious
than in its days Of splendor.
The old mansion rings now with
sounds of healthful laughter the like
of which was never heard in the days
of Eugene and Louis. The old house
is now leased by the Misses Jardine,
and its floors are devoted to bicycle in
struction.
! The Misses Jardine conceived the
idea of teaching Paris swelldom to ride,
and after a canvass found that they
could count upon twenty beginners. s.
relative Of the Duke d'Alencon and a
cousin of the Count de Castellane were
secured for show pupils at the begin
ming, then Others were added.
The Misses Jardine, Mignon and
Felice, were big, strong-armed girls,
not too tall nor yet too short. They
had been known in gymnasium work
in the Paris Ladies Gymnasium, and
had both given exhibitions before Wo-
mems development clubs.
With their reputation and good
family name behind them, backed by a
fund of good nature, they opened up"
Pupils came at first by the singles,
then they came in groups; finally they
had to be turned away because neither
of the young ladies could spare min
ute in the day for them.
The system of bicycle instruction as
followed by these successful young Wo-
men is this
No pupil is taught" to ride
Riding consists in the art OF balance.
A person who can balance can ride.
No rules are given for balancing. A
pupil is placed in the saddle and the
bicycle is led along. The quicker the
instructor can walk the easier to get
the balance.
While a pupil is learning to balance
special leg rules are given tending to
develop the muscles and fit the pupil
for long-distance riding.
Beginners have a clear field provid
ed in front of them until they can ball
ance.
The Misses Jardine in starting up
reasoned that SO many women hesitate
about riding because they must learn
from a man, and natural pride keeps a
woman from wanting to appear ridicu-
lous to masculine eyes.
They also reasoned that woman
could teach the wheel better than
man because Of her highly sensitive
organization which makes her shudder
at the thought Of fall, even though
the fall may not be hers.
On inquiry they found all their sup
positions correct, and SO started out.
American girls, always ready to
catch on to everything in the money
making line, are studying the Jardine
bicycle school, and shortly there will
appear on the other side of the water a
bicycle school for women, taught by
women.
The matter Of costume is important
The Misses Jardine reason that wo-
men can learn the trick of balancing
quicker in boomers, and when a pupil
comes with the word that she must
learn quickly she is told to take off her
skirts and put on baggy trousers for
the first few lessons.
