tance;" now she is power in the land.
Inventors rack their brains for her ben.
eft; the leading firms vie with each
other in providing her with smart COS
tunes, and altogether she is made so
much of that it must be difficult for her
to remember that Mrs. Grundy once
frowned upon her and "society" was
not quite sure whether it would not be
advisable to pass her by on the other
side. Now if society" does pass by it
is on its own bicycle and INDUCES in
amicable greetings.
But to proceed directly to fashionable
cycling dress. Every style from the se-
verely plain to the very snowy is cater
ed to by fashion, with decided lean
ing toward the latter. Cycling costume
closely follows the fashion of the tailor
made street suit; consequently it is al
most needless to say that elaborate
braiding, lines Of stitched cording, tucks,
cloth strappings, white satin and MORE
faoings and revers are in pronounced
evidence.
While the norfolk and plain double
or single breasted coats of some length
remain always useful and correct,
stylish jackets of many variations rule
the wheel. There are much braided
boleros and short coats with fancy re-
vers and multitudinous stitohings and
cordings. A favorite style of coat has
long revers opening to the waist line to
show a checked waistcoat or a tucked,
corded or frilled shirt.
A costume which seems to strike a
happy medium between the extremes of
styles is shown in the first cut. 1t is an
effective arrangement in brown cloth,
the coat belted in at the waist with
black braid fastened with steel. buckle,
and the collar and reyers faced with
black MORE and turning back from a
vest of soft silk in a tiny black and
white check, a cravat bow of the SAME
being tied at the neck. The hat which
accompanies it in the sketch is carried
out in the black and white combination
the deft arrangement of checked sill
and wings showing how very simpl,
trimming can secure stylish appear
anoe.
Another appeal to the love of prett,
things, which woman does not los
when she takes to the wheel, is fount
in the new shirts for warm weather us
with cycling shirts. Ivory white il
color of very soft fine flannel is on
model, with just Killed bow of tende

PLAIN soldier TO understand is the following

months prior 10 the eXpiry of twenty one years
service, 10 be reduced 70 sergeant. For the
requisite number OF years he had held the rank
enutllng him 10 a color-sergeants pension. He
made Inquiries as To how the reduction affected
his pension, and, 20 his dismay was Informed
that, as he would leave the service with but the
rank OF sergeant, he would not be entitled 10
color sergeants pension. and as he would be
sergeant only for a few months prior TO dis
charge, he could not have a sergeant's pension
IL was deliberately pointed out that to earn
serseants pension soldier had to hold the
rank OF sergeant for ten consecutive years This
man had held higher rank for many more
years than that but there was the regulation
