SURVIVAL OF THE BICYCLE.
Thousands of the Wheels Are Still
in Use All Over the
Country.

Boston held bicycle reunion the
other day, which added picturesque
page to sporting history. Five thousand
men and women tailed in the line which
pedaled over Chestnut hill, with delega-
lions from every town of considerable
size in the bay state. What made this
parade of unusual interest, says the IL
Illustrated Sporting News, was the sight
of archaic bicycles of vintages unknown
in this generation, portraying the evolu-
ton of the wheel Of to-day, all the way
from the bone shaker of our GRANDPA
theirs.
The modern pneumatic-tired wheel in
this parade typified the rise and decline
Of 'craze" of colossal proportions. Al
its zenith the whole world seemed to be
riding wheels or seeking the where
withal to own them. How the automo-
bile has invaded this field among the
classes which could afford to choose its
pastimes, without close watch on the
cost, is shown in an interesting fashion,
by the advertising pages of high-class
monthly magazine. In March Of 1900
there were 16 different advertisements
of bicycles, from one-half page to full
page each, and in the same number only
two displays of automobiles, by two
manufacturers, covering two pages OF
the magazine For March of this year
the same magazine contained IL pages OF
automobile advertising, representing 20
different manufacturers, and one page of
bicycle advertising. While the CONSOLE
dation of bicycle interests has decreased
the competition in advertising, yet these
figures give fair estimate of thereversal
of popularity worked out in four years
among the people who could afford to
shift their form of pastime.
Eight years ago $4,000 bicycles were
ridden in Philadelphia and $4,000 OF
these were owned by men and women
who used them between their homes and
their places of employment. To-day it
is probable that in that city Is 900 wheels
are used for practical convenience and
this class may have increased. But the
shrinkage of interest has been among
the 5000 who used them wholly for
pastime, and the same process has been
going on, in greater or less degree, all
over the country Yet the "craze" in its
height did great things in pushing the
good roads movement and in rejuvenat-
ing the country hotels, whose benefits
were reaped by the automobile when it
became popular The bicycle is by no
means back number but it has ceased
to be an epidemic.

A PICTURE HAT.

er, none of us can afford to give up
the becomingness of the black hat
There are so many days when we feel
we can put on no hat but black one;
of course, it must be light or we shall
look and feel hot.
Then with light frocks I like sim
pie black parasol; this gives decisive
note which is often lacking in crowd
OF gay summer toilettes.
A few smart folks over here are
wearing red shoes with morning frocks
of linen and serges of the same color.
Very elegant are the soft suede shoes
in pale gray, tan and mouse color. Pale
green kid footgear, too, is pretty, with
an apple green frock, while pale blue
kid is used with pastel cloth gowns.
Details of this sort when carried out
by the really chic mondaine are most
attractive; attention to detail is always
pleasing to the fastidious eye.

Stylish Accessories Of Dress

am going TO write chiefly of the ac-
cessories ald details of dress, not that
I am particularly fond, where Access
cries are concerned, of fol owing any
particular mode; but would point out
that, while there are many charming
accessories this season there are also
many pitfalls for the unWary.
The cult of the veil has been an in
teresting one, and when suited to the
individuality of the wearer, the veil
falling on to the hair at the back was
charming mode, but alas! it is one
which has been adopted by women who
should keep only to the most severe
STYLES. Short, stout women should not
in any way widen the effect of their
toilettes, especially about the head.
And very few women, l might add,
look well in the colored veil. The
craze for the colored veil is almost as
disastrous as was the craze for the
tulle bow some years ago.
It is not in the least necessary to
wear a colored veil or a cheap lace
fichu, and there is no excuse for the
woman who wastes part OF her limited
dress allowance upon such atrocities
She had far better put the bulk of her
expenditure into a neat coat and skirt
and some tidy blouses made with a
high neckband. l must say that the
high color is one of the most welcome
accessories of dress this season.
There are all sorts of dainty trifles
to be picked up at the shops; the only
thing to avoid is getting very cheap
things, which soon become common. A
simply accessory, such as waistband,
turnover collar, neat stock, or an
attractive and wellmade jabot, is
worthy of purchase, and will be useful
on many different occasions.
Some of the new shaped Wristbands
are charming, and very inexpensive.
But do not imagine that the cheap imi-
tation of a good belt will look as we'll
as the original. II your dress allow
ance be limited you may be able to
make it do, but it is generally wiser, if
you cannot afford the genuine thing, to
get a different kind altogether. Above
all, avoid fanciful Wristbands, unless
you can give a good price for them
Very few people possess such we'll
shaped waists that they may be eX-
cused for calling attention to them. At
the same time, Wristbands in general
are well-cut to-day, and have certain
charms of their own; but do not collect

ALMSHOUSE FOR HORSES.
Generosity of Pennsylvania Woman
Provides Comfort for Worn
Out Animals.

Horses that have outlived their use
fulness have better fate in store for
them now than the boneyard. Through
the generosity of Mrs. Ryerss, of Fox
Chase, Pa, $4,000 was willed for the
founding of a home for equine heroes
who have had their day. and to this
unique establishment owners of horses
no longer fit for duty may send their
favorites, assured that they will receive
the best of treatment and be permitted
to end their lives in restful contentment.
1t costs nothing to keep horse at the
Ryerss infirmary, as the almshouse for
horses is called. The horse must be
brought to the gate of the institution;
after that all expenses are borne by the
executors of the Ryerss will.
About twoscore animals are at pres
ent enjoying the placid seclusion of the
home. Among them are old fire horses,
heroes of the police patrol, family pets,
veterans of the shafts from the CONNER
cial world, bony old carriage horses, and
one ancient Shetland pony, the prettiest
of the lot, even in his ragged age.
A certain allowance of hay and oats
is made the horses night and morning.
They are not expected to do anything
but eat, drink and sleep. They are at
tended by veterinary surgeon when
they have any ailment, are watched and
cared for with the utmost solicitude by
the superintendent and his assistants,
and live lives of quiet ease, with nothing
to do and all day in which to do it. When
they die they are given over to the
'knacker." The Ryerss will made no
provision for the burial of the horses,
as some think it should.
At first the Ryerss infirmary was
home for aged dogs as we'll as horses,
but the dogs so harried the lives of the
poor old steeds and proved such bur-
den on the management because of their
unfortunate tendency to go mad on the
slightest provocation, that it was de-
creed by the executors of the will that
they must be banished from the scheme
of things at the Ryerss inf1rmary Moth
ing now disturbs the peaceful serenity
of life at the almshouse for horses. Far
removed frob the beaten track of travel
for Bustleton, despite it's formidable
name, is one of the quietest and most
humdrum of little villages-the aged
animals live in contentment until the
time comes for them to die.

judge of color in dress, though an ex-
cellent judge of art and furniture. Much
as I admire her natural beauties,
have long given her up as hopeless.
Few people indeed realize Der beauty,
for she plays havoc with a magnifi-
cent figure and glorious face. But
there, I am not sure that the best
dressed women are not very often the
least good looking. In the daytime, at
any rate, the smart woman generally
looks better than the merely pretty
one. The former knows how to turn
her best points to account; she wears
exactly the right clothes with the as
surance born of knowledge that she is
well dressed.
The lace veil is giving place to that
of chiffon, which, in Paris, is worn as
a string on one side, and drawn over
the face in the form of curtain. This
is an excellent idea for women who
motor to races, etc. We see a good
many pretty washing lace wells worn
over the face with the Breton sailor
hat, as we'll as some good specimens of
the Chantilly lace veil thrown back,
but in Paris the lace veil is practically
dead, for, like many a pretty fashion,
it was overdone at the outset.
Parasols to-day are really charming.
You can have a very simple en- tout
cas- with a plain shade and border of
contrasting color and an abnormally
long handle finished with a ball of en-
amel or crystal. Or you may choose a
taffeta shade with raised hobs. and tat
feta trimming thereon. Beautiful ex
ampIes in chiffon and mousseline de
sole show hand-painted medallions of
pompadour design outlined with old
lace. Then we also see the early Vic
torian satin parasol with it's silken
fringe in many colors, the satin shade
with it's border of grass lawn, and the
old-fashioned satin-striped parasol.
Others are composed entirely Of lace or
beautifully hand-painted chiffon.
Fashion in gloves is changing. That
is to say, long gloves are much worn
in the daytime on account of elbow
sleeves being in vogue again. Softest
lavender, white, palest yellow and
mouse colored suedes, with pearl but
tons, are worn in Paris, while on smart
occasions in the afternoon few quaint
dresses are completed by lace mittens.
For morning wear with the tailormade
dress, the thick white kid or gauntlet
military glove is de rigueur.

Hunting with Elephants.

Gen. Sir Montagu Gerard, in recent
volume, tells this story of hunting with
an elephant in India: ''The best bags
made were SO brace snipe and some teal
one day between one p. m. and sunset
and 73 brace and 26 duck and teal for one
whole day, besides a couple of hours on
the preceding afternoon when recon-
noitering the ground. The only retriever
one could safely employ was an elephant,
not so much for fear of crocodiles as on
account of the tangled weeds which wind
themselves round the limbs of a swim
mer like tentacles of an octopus.

becoming to us. For instance, an ex-
tremely beautiful woman of my ac-
quaintance, with superbly classical
bly, invests in ready-made, frou-frouing
blouses, fy-away hats and skirts of
poor materials and general skimpiness.
AS matter of fact, she ought to es-
chew all but the hard, bold and beauti-
full lines of the old masters. She is a
woman who should never wear jewel
more than she is obliged to, or su-
perfluous ribbon or bow, but, unfortu-
nately her craze is for strings of color
ed beads, and Indifferent jewelry, and
added to this she is a shockingly bad
