There were spiteful gigglss OF glee al
through Brooklyn yesterday when IL was
told in the morning papers that Mise cara
BOVINE. one Of the Heavenly Twins OF the
cvole Path, had been obliged to appeal TO
the police for protection against oress
unreforrner with an airgun who had been
taking Dot shots at her as she rode through
Homecrest
great many folks think that the Heavenly
Twins are the most prominent objects OF
interest In Brooklyn in the summer. Certain
IL IL that since the style OF cycling knicker-
bockars for women was invented there have
been no Young women In all the Greater New
York whose movements have been followed
with greater volume Of mingled envy. scorn
and admiration than the Heavenly Twins.
Feminine Brooklyn has been known TO so
lose istelf In its emotions on the subject as TO
speak OF the estimable young cyclists as
"horrid things" Perhaps one Of the reasons
for tho harsh Ian Ruage Of Brooklyn fem
ininisy has been the unfagsing interest In
the Twins which has been shown by the men
of Brooklyn.
When the Heavenly Twins first appeared
on the cyolo path most Of the men Of Brooklyn
made serious, but quite human mistake,
Because the girls wore very remarkable COM
binations OF colors IN startling combinations
OF CURVES, the lizhter-minded masculinity OF
Brooklyn took it for granted that the Twins
we're frivolous persons and desirous Of moro
or less attention from the rest Of the world.
Every man In BROOKLYN who had an Idea that
his personal appearance or his conversation
was Irresistible made a dead set At the Twins.
The smiles and sweet phrases Of hundreds
Of captivating persons we're dashed against
tie sood-naturcd equanimity OF tho Twins
as uselessly "A the waves dash AGAINST the
everlasting sands on ConSy Island beach
Once In a while when the Twins have been
known to bs bot and tired and very thirsty,

anlusements Of the innocent folk OF Coney
Island TO watch the faces Of these persons
as tho Twins have calmly ordered either

tho same have sWset!y SAT-. Thank VOW
exp expectant cntertainers Nobody ever saw
either OF the Twins drink anything more
vicious than ginger ale.
