usually eager to slip out into the regular | thoroughfares and the next day they feel equal to experts.
 Nothing could be more attractive than the costumes worn for this Palm Beach sport. The one usually seen comprises trim white skirt that is probably as short as the extreme bicycle skirt in the heydey of wheeling, but does not even cause ripple of comment now, so accus- toned have we become to the boot top length of skirt. Below this show neatly turned ankles and feet encased in white silk stockings and pointed toed pumps of white leather.
 And the ubiquitous sweater is more es- sential for this pastime than almost any other enjoyed by the winter sojourners in this summer climate. The bright colored silken garments give a touch of effective coloring as riders whirl over the white roads and paths and are visible now and then between the borders of hibiscus bushes or palm trees
 Those exceedingly careful of their com plexions swathe their faces in thick chif- ion wells, leaving only the eyes uncov- cred, depending upon the hat to pro vide sufficient shade for these And the fair bicyclist may ride for hours without fear of acquiring an undesired coat of tan or adding a single freckle to her creamy skin.
 Like most sports now, there is no age limit for bicycling The gray haired and the youthful mount wheels with the same degree of grace and agility and spin over the roads with equal ease And as there is no longer any differentiation between the sport costume for the young woman and that for the middle aged woman it is difficult to tell just where to place 8 fair bicyclist until you see her face. And even then it is only the clever persons who come near it
 As attractive as are the older members of the feminine colony here when mount ed on their rubber tired steeds. it is the little folk who after all, bring smiles of real appreciation to the faces of specta- tors. especially those who are new tc Palm Beach and it's life. They enjoy every minute of their bicycling hours. The girls wear fluffy white pink or blue frocks, so short that their bare, brown legs and knees show as they pedal vigor- ously to keep up with their brothers and nurse maids also on bicycles Six or eight or a dozen of them sometimes go out to- gether for the afternoon with their nurse maids and they come back rosy of cheek and with sparkling eyes and just tired enough to make them feel glad to go to bed for a long rest before starting on another day of outdoor enjoyment.

K I OW is the time and place for the
 M bicycle girl. You are going to see 4 her everywhere and at all hours of the day. If you have only old-time recollections of the wheel sport it will surprise you not little to behold the fairest of their sex gliding along as if they had ridden bicycles all of their lives So look in the attic and bring out mothers wheel for we must ride to be stylish.
 Already at Palm Beach this fad Is quite popular and bicycle girls dot the roads and trails.
 After all, it is a graceful exercise, and a woman looks exceedingly well mounted on a trim wheel. It Is essentially sport becoming to the slenderly built rider. Others have the good sense to become pedestrians or ride in wheel chairs, or at least most of them have Occasionally a too plump enthusiast, who thinks more of exercise and sightseeing than she does mounts a bicycle and whirls away, puff tng and panting from the unaccustomed strain on lung and muscle.
 The newcomer will look askance al these sport lovers for perhaps the first day, but in less than AS hours, if she likes being outdoors at all and using her muscles. she will either arrange to buy or rent a wheel and become member of the bicycle squad.
 Representatives of the fashionable set in Palm Beach have taken to it with en- thusiasm. They have a lesson after breakfast while others are in bathing, on the tennis courts or golf links, and with q uniformed attendant, negro boy, to balance the bicycle, they ride up aud down the broad walk that passes the hotels. After the first lesson they are

 see, Is to help you express yourself to me. Another sentiment was this: I may not send you. sweet. for valen-
 tine,
 Heartsease or violet Nor yet the crimson rose from off the
 vine.
 Nor fragrant mignonette. For round the garden-close the chill
 winds whine
 And skies brood bleak above, And so send you, sweet, for Valentine, These messages of love! The Valentine poets were certainly working overtime this year. as witness the tender sentiment of the following: I bring thee, love, 8 golden chain, I bring thee, too a flowery wreath; The gold shall never wear a stain, The flowerlets long shall sweetly
 breathe. Come, tell me which the tie shall be, To bind thy gentle heart to me. And then again: If you should look on me with hate, My heart it would evaporate. Even the most confirmed old bach elor couldn't resist the obviously meant sentiment in the quaint little verse that appended:
 At the Inn of A1l-Is- We'll
 I can read this welcome sign
 Love is running this hotel.
 Let's board there,
 My Valentine. Imagine dignified "old bach" re ceiving this:
 Please take this candy heart;
 And tell me if it's good; If you litter, I know it's bitter.
 Or too mushy for your food. One pretty debutante, just turned IS, selected this for her sweetheart and he showed it to me:
 We are too young, we cantaloupe, But we'll grow up some day, I hope. Till then, as sure as stars do shine, I'll be your loving Valentine! So, you see, it was easy enough for Leap Year proposal to be made when St. Valentine reigned supreme!

deep rose were found in the mat rimonial hints distributed by St valen- tine this year. for there was not only the license lent by the anonymous mes sages of the saintly guardian of love, but the privilege of Leap Year in this seasons missives.
 That advantage of these privileges was indicated by the piles of tender sentiments and jokes which the mar riageable men received the past week
 The doubtful in love had his fears assuaged and the dodger of matrimony considered of escape and evasion when he looked in his post box last Monday morning
 While many of them were in a serio comic vein, they were also pur- poseful and appropriate.
 The Valentine of grandmother's time that Hes buried among lavender and old lace in the big cedar chest in the attic, returned to us in all of it's for mer stiff and quaint sentiment.
 It seemed quite proper to send the oldfashioned valentine this season; it was quite good form to put your ten derest feelings in verse; in fact, there was general license to that effect, this being Leap Year
 Some of the tributes were hand painted on large cardboard emDellished with dignified expression of devotion or friendship; in fact, some really em-  was presented with a silver candlestick, the groom-to-be with a silver clothes brush, and MT.

A Clause In Na1pIeon's Will.

Peter the Great is said to have made
will in which he exhorted his heirs to
approach as nearly as possible to Con-
stantinople and toward India, but the
authenticity of this document has been
disputed, and it is shrewdly suspected
to have been forged late in the eight
eenth century by August Kotzebue.
+ OF the genuineness, however, of the
last will and testament of Napoleon I.
there can be no manner of doubt. One
of its clauses was as vindictive as the
testamentary injunction of Queen Aus.

doctors killed and buried with her.
