BICYCLE SCHOOL
RUN BY GIRLS.
In Fashionable Quarter of Paris
and Richly Patronized.
All Heiresses Come TO These Girls to
Learn Their Rules for Balancing

Paris, Dec, 22.-In one portion Of one
Of the most fashionable avenues Of Paris
now being turned to trade. there stands
an old mansion which, In its dilapidat-
ed state, is more glorious than in its
days of splendor
The old mansion rings now with
sounds of hea1thful 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 instrpc-
ton
The Misses Jardine conceived the idea
of teaching Paris swelldom to ride, and
after a canvass found that they could
count upon twenty beginners. A relative
of the Duke d'Alecon and a cousin OF
the Count de Castellaae we're secured
for show pupils at the beginning. then
others were added.
The Misses Jardine, Mignon and Fee
lice, were big, strong-armed girls, not
too tall nor yet too short. They had
been known in gymnasium work IN tine
Paris Ladies' Gymnasium, and had both
given exhibitions before women's devei-
opment clubs.
With their reputation and a good fam
lily 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 a. min
ute in the day for them.
The system of bicycle instruction as
followed by these successful young
women is thiSi
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 BIZ
cycle is led along. The quicker the I'M
structor can walk the easier to get the
balance.
While the pupil is learning to balances
special leg rules are given tending to
develop the muscles and fit the pupil
for long-distance riding.
Beginners have a clear field provided
in front of them until they can balance.
The Misses Jardine, in starting up,
reasoned that so many women hesitate
about riding because they must learn
from man, and natural pride keeps a.
woman from wanting to appear ridic-
ulous to masculine eyes,
They also reasoned that woman
could teach the wheel better than q
man because of her highly sensitive or
ganiZation which makes her shudder at
the thought of a fall, even though the
fan may not be hers. o2.
On inquiry they found an their suppo-
sitions 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 viii appear
on the other side of the water bicycle
school for women, taught by women
| The matter of costume is important.
The Misses Jardine reason that women
can learn the trick Of balance quicker
in boomers, and when 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.

Another curious circumstance was no.

the others seldom had any demands for

compelled to swear that he Rad killed
the wolf. inside the boundaries of the
county where the scalp was presented,
and there was no reason for doubling
the truth of the testimony But what
could be the reason of the Disparity in
the claims? One day a settlers son was
