BICYCLE SCHOOL BY GIRLS.
IN THE MOST FASHIONABLE at AR
TER or PARIS.

Is Richly Patronized-Al French
HeiresseS Come to These Girls to
Learn Because they Don't Want
to BE Ridiculous in Mems Eyes
Their Rules for Balancing.
Paris. Dec. PIN one portion of 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 spendor.
The old mansion rings now with sounds
OF healthful laughter the like of which
was never heard in the days Of Engenie
and Louis. The old house is now leased
by the Misses Jardine, and its floors are
devoted to bicycle instructions.
The Misses Jardine conceived the idea
of teaching Paris swelIdom to ride, and af-
ter a canvass found that they could count
upon twenty beginners. A relative Of the
Duke d'Alencon and a cousin of the Count
de Casteliane were secured for show pu-
pills at the beginning 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 exhibit
tons before womens development clubs.
With their reputation and good family
name behind them. backed by a fund of
good nature, they "oponed up"
Pupils came a first by the singles, then
they came in groups; finally they had 10
be turned away because neither Of the
young ladies could spare a minute in the
day for them.
The system of bicycle instruction as fol-
lowed by those successful young women,
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 10 balance spe-
oal leg rules are given tending TO develop
the muscles and tit the pupil for long-d,s-
lance riding.
Beginners have clear field provided in
front of them until they can balance.
The Misses Jardine in starting UP reason
ed that so many women hesitate about
riding because they must learn from a
man, and natural pride keeps a woman
from wanting to appear ridiculous to mas
culine eyes.
They also reasoned that a woman could
teach the wheel better than a man be

which makes her shudder at the thought
of a fall, even though the fall may not
be hers.

sitions correct, and SO started out.

women, but the New Year seems devoted
20 women alone.
In Japan on New Years day the ladies
are up early and making a most elabo-
rate toilet The toilet of japanese wo-
man is always refined one, and the
sweetest of cosmetics and the most deli
cate of scents are employed for her beau
tilication. But the New Year toilet is
something specially fine.
On the New Year the japanese belle,
like the Chinese one, wears no old clothes.
Everything from her flowing silk outer
garments to her straight delicately woven
underwear is all new. Her favorite color
is pink, and her robes are gorgeous in col
ors of pink and red
She makes her toilet sitting on the floor
with silk robe around her. When she
gets out of her peculiar little bed upon
the floor and lifts her shapely head from
her smooth round pillow she gets into a
perfumed bath, in the taking of which
she is assisted by her female servants. If
she is a woman of very high rank and by
the women of her household if she be Of
good family but not wealthy. Her per
fumed bath is poured into a tub and a
little mating screen is set around the
tub. into the water she gets, while her
women sit outside the screen upon the
clean mating floor.
When the time comes for a shampoo
of the flesh the bather rises aud the
women of the family assist her. making
a sport of this daily abluuon. Iu this re-
spect the heat then differs from the Chris
tian. "A Christian woman conceals the
fact that she battles. and beyond doing SO
daily for cleanliness spends no time in the
bath. 1t is not even etiquette TO mention
il. But the heather talks of it, ana the
fables are full of the wives of high dig
nitaries whose daily round of happenings
took place in the gardens through which
they walked while going to and from
the bath.
The bath over, and on New Year day it
is prolonged, the Japanese woman bather
sets up her little easel and, taking her
place upon the floor begins TO beauty
herself
Her fine soft brown skin is massaged
with grease perfumes and washed With
scents. Then into the long brows ar.
lsnoothed streaks of black creased paint

largely by the way she puts on the brow

meek as might be expected under these
circumstances.
When a man has many wives, one par
tcular one may not see him for many days
at a time, but it is not considered proper
for him to stay away from her as long as
he feels inclined, particularly if she be of
high social position. The result of such
an experiment on the part of man mar

ameer was that he actually suffered per
sonal violence at her hands, and then the
story got abroad and he became the laugh

husband sat down to the food, trying to

Of any irritable feelings or sinister de-
signs. She quietly with her fingers, of
course) picked all the meat off the bone,
and laid the pieces before her husband,
who graciouSly accepted the delicate lit

The next day the man appeared at court

The new woman has penetrated even to
the harem OF the Amer of Afghanistan,
where she wears male attire and does pre-

her up on his return journey from the
