NEW YORK. June 22. The bicycle fever
continues to spread and woman and fashion
morfl than ever turn the wheel.
Not a week pauses but there Is something
now In bicycle toggery , and this time the
new thins Is In the shapa of a material
called "Itusslan crash , " that has the loose
tufted weave of Turkish toweling , and , In
the h d& most favored , the tint of earth.
Indeed , "dirt color , " Is the name by which
the most modish shade of the crash la
known ; and It Is warranted to stand water
pa well as dust , and when made up cor
rectly , wllh the most careful tailor finish
ing , It la very effective. A divided skirt
and Eton body Is the model usually chosen
for the .KusMan crash , which Is said by
thofio who have Riven It a trial to be as
cool as neat. It IB cold In all the big shops
by the yard , but as yet there are no ready
made costumes seen In It.
Suits made to order , however , and com
prising , besides the divided skirt and Eton ,
the underhloomcr.i or knlckcrn Indispensable
to every bicycle costume , can be had at a
good tailor's for $40.
{ SMART DUItAIJLn STUFFS.
Other handsome bicycle sulta arc made of
cheviot whipcord , covert cfljth and Kngllsh
serge , Itnt the serge , together with the
alpacas and mohairs offered In the shops
for wheel wear , Is not advised as a servicea
ble material that Is the mohair Is not good
for skirts , In which shape Its wiry texture
causes It to slip around and blow up unr
gracefully. The serge , \\hlch Is generally In
blue. Is not a good dint-hiding texture.
Whipcords , In browns shading from dirt-color
to gorge. Is the favorite and most useful
material for skirt suits , and the best of
< them , It la remarked , show a heroic dearth
of trimming , plain stitching being Invariably
the sole ornamentation.
. . . . LINEN SUITS.
Still there are trimmed bicycle * suits , and
a y ry 'cocky-little costume , of coirse loosely
woven brown linen , lately seen , was charm-
TUB MOUNT AND START.
Ingly decorated with the same texture In a
cool , dim green.
The body model was a shirt waist , with a
wide sailor collar and deep turn-back cuffs
of the green , and the skirt , which fell a lit
tle above the ankles and was made to fit
llko a riding habit about the back and hips ,
was plainly stitched. The tall of the shirt
was worn outside a neat belt of the green
linen with a pointed end slipped through
a allde of the same , holding It down trimly.
This rig wai most effective , but struck the
speculative eye as best for country wear ,
when a little flxlncss on the wheel seems less
Dut of place than In town.
A New York girl wore It In the park and
iho seemed as cool as a cucumber , though
It was a broiling hot day , and all the other
wheel-maidens , oven those In the skirts and
ihirt waists most worn since the hot weather
Dogan , looked as warm as peonies on the
mnny side of a garden wall.
STILL SHY OF BLOOMERS.
Of all the models offered , and they are
A MODEL COSTUME.
many , bloomer cycle suits are least In favor.
Except as necessary adjuncts to the skirt
* costumes and the divided skirts , under
which they need to be worn as well , bloom-
rs have but little ealo In New York.
In country lanca , where there are only
mlld-oyod rabbits and grasshoppers to be
bffanded , they are sometimes worn ; but In
town they are kept very dark , being confined
to ladles who have theories on woman's
rights and who find a bloomored way the
easiest In which to express themselves.
The wherefore of their unpopularity Is ob
vious. Bloomers are not only not coquettish
but hideously ugly and unbecoming , and hap-
t f piiy she Is a rare bird who , for the sake of a
doubtful privilege. Is willing to sacrifice her
charm.
OCCASIONAL KNICKERS.
The divided skirt , which astride the whee
can scarcely bo distinguished from an ordi
nary nklrt , seems to allow all the freedom
necessary to even the most enthusiastic
cycler. Knickers nro sometimes worn , however
over , early mornings In the park before nl
the world Is there to see ; daring Prenchy
little affairs , made much Ilka a man's riding
breeches , and with the outsldo seams horally
lapped ,
A belted Norfolk jacket , or a trim box
: oat , both with skirts that come modestly
down over the hips , go with ths knickers
which , of course , meet long gaiters at the
knee , and the blouse under the coat will bo
either of thin linen or u > ft finished cotton
These , by virtue of their KOCH ! washing quail
ties , being accepted as the best summer ma
lerlals for cycle waists.
Hut Iho besklrted wheel * oman Is more to
be considered here than the breeched one
These mannish little knickers , attractlv
though they are on the right fair , plump
maid , have not yet found womankind at tha
point where they are willing to drop petti
coats entirely.
THE MODEL COSTUME.
There are two sorts of blcyclo skirts , th
right sort and the wrong sort. The wrong
tort Is cither long enough to amusa Itsel
by catching on the pedals , or so short the
breeches themselves would be decenter , too
wide or too narrow ; and this kind Is usually
fashioned at home or bought ready made.
The right sort bears on Its face all thi
murks of a garment favored by heaven am
1 good tailor. It strikes a pair of Inches am
1 traction above the ankles , and Is scant a
the top. One good model lias the placket at
the left of the front gore , belr.fc finished there
as well as at the right hljby a stitched flap
six Inches long. At the Inside of the side
gores two clastic loops fasten over a button
on the long gaiters , this being one of the
devices to keep the skirt down. Another Is
to fasten lead weights at intervals In the
hpm.
hpm.Again a skirt will be made heavy at the
bottom , and so hang properly , with a leather
facing and row after row of close stitching ,
n silk lining doing away with that ungrace
ful catching on the knee common to unllncd
or cotton lined skirts.
UNDER GARMENTS FOR CYCLING.
The bloomers worn under thcso skirts ,
slnco they are at times almost as much In
evidence ns the skirts themselves , nro usu
ally of the same material. Good summer
ones for divided skirts are of thin ecru
pongee and a favorite model for both Is
one that gathers Into a narrow yoke at the
waist and fastens full at the knee , with an
clastic garter slipped through a casing.
A pongee chemise Is also liked by many
and some wheelwomen are e\en wearing
pongei corsets. One pongee corset that a
slim , pretty girl modeled after a short
shape , called the Hernhardt. was merely
a bust supporter , straps holding it over the
shoulder , the front being fastened with up
turned hooks , over which the- lacing was
looped.
A regulation corset shape , only much
shorter and more lightly boned than Is com
mon , Is advUed for wtucl ladles of plumper
proportions.CYCLING
CYCLING ACCESSORIES.
As to outside accessories , gloves , hats ,
shoes and leggings must , of course , accord
with the costume worn. For example , under
a dark skirt light leggings shine out with
a fatal bigness and a trimmed sailor Is dis
tinctly out of place with knickers.
The most stylish hat for a knlcker
suit Is an Alpine shape , white or mingled
straw , with a wide black band. Sailors , If
simply banded , may be worn , however , and
they are , "without doubt , more sensible for
summer , shading the eyes better.
The handsome stuff suits have hats made
of the same material , Alpine shapes or else
a sort of yachting 'cap with double visors.
But these , together with jackets , have all
b ° en dropped for the dog days ; a Bailer hat
of the .lightest possible weight and a cotton
shirt waist being the two things necessary
to the wheel girl's bummer happiness.
More points on correct wheel furnishings ,
gathered on the highways and byways of
cycledom , are as follows :
SHOKS , VEILS , ET GET.
Before the world fat ladles are wearing
klrts with tails ; the gathered divided skirt
icdel Is better for wash materials than the
leated one ; black canvas gaiters catch the
ust and hold It ; leather gaiters are hot ,
> ut those In Jersey cloth are hotter. Canvas
s coolest. The best veils are the meshed
renadines ; the test gloves those In wash
eather that without opening draw loosely
ver the hand ; and they are only novices In
ho noble art of cycling. It U said , who wear
ilgh heels. A neat wearing shoe , and one
hat Is comfortable- well , Is a low affair
n two pieces , being seamed only nt the heel
nd down the toe. It Is made In all shades
f russet leather , has a flat heel , a pointed
oe and a sole flexible as a glove. The
atest thing In ties l& a long , narrow four-
n-hand In black satin that Is much worn.
READY-MADE SUITS.
A word In favor of ready-made bicycle
suits.
If one Is nalther too long nor too short , too
at or too lean , they can easily bo fltted at
ho best stores. All the big shops keep
cycle suits now , the natty accessories as
well , and besides being1 wonderfully cheap
porno of them are really charming. Their
good looks are not always warranted to last
is long as those of a costume made to order ,
> ut things made to order can not always bo
afforded , and cycling Is not a sport to pass
ly for the simple want of a dress.
Hero are some of the best things to look
out for-

to a dally diet of wrappers , slippers down at
the heel , and Illy-served dinners.
MADEMOISELLE PRUDE.
There Is another type of frail womanhood
the wise bachelor will look twice at. The
prude sits Just M squarely upon her carefully
selected stiff-backed chair , her draperies
spread out Immaculately , only the tips of her
patent leather toes visible , her hands primly
but elegantly folded , her eyes sweetly , coldly
critical.
With this Belt-estimated piece of perfec
tion faith and hope may abide , but the
greatest of the three recommended and much
desired qualities , It Is safe to aver. Is a
minus quantity In her composition. And yet
that very self-righteous young woman may
be caught off her guard. Some fine day ,
when she Is under the Impression that Mrs.
Grundy's eagle eye Is for the moment en
grossed otherwise , ehe Is just the sort
of a person to do something sub rosa that
the gay , hoydenlsh sister would never
dream of.
THE NEW OR NERVOUS WOMAN.
The nervous , hysterical creature ! May
kind fate deliver the marrying man from
her llko ! She will Itad him a dance If he
succumbs to her wiles. U Is well for him If
ho keep his eyes open , for she Is nearly al
ways attractive , often pretty. She Is fond of
posing , too , and sometimes assumes atti
tudes a little alarming In their abandon.
She delights In leaning against the wall
or tall bits oC furniture , or perhaps Inside a
low window , where she can undulate her
body In distorted lines and toy with the
portiere or her own frumperles. She adores
a rocker , and can keep It In perpetual mo
tion. She moves back and forth her feet ,
usua'ly small and shapely , sometimes showing
a suspicion of dainty ankle. She succeed In
giving her adorer "tho nerves" Just In
watching her restlessness. She will give
them to him In a highly edifying degree once
ho loses his head over her , as nine times oul
of ten ho will , and she hooks htm fast In hoi
angling.
SHE IS OLD-FASHIONED BUT CHARMING

t understood , as poor humanity can mustei
n this mundane sphere. And It reaches n
rather high order when It takes the form ol
a well-bred , winsome bit of feminine loveli
ness , with strong muscles and well nourlshec
nerves.
Can anything bo moro full of fasclnatlor
than to watch the supple movements , tli
graceful pose of the lithe , pliant woman ai
she goes about her various tasks or take
her rest ?
How reposeful she Is as Ehe plays the roll
of hostess and receives her guests with hei
courteous handshake and bend of a wel
poised head. How bowltchlngly she pour
tea or reclines on lounge or low seat to cha
with a new or old acquaintance. Her gar
ments flow about In such artistic folds , ho
laces have just the right fall , her jewel
shine. It matters little what she does , bi
It some domestic occupation , riding , driving
a game of golf or quoits , on a friend's yacht
She Is the poetry of motion or equally of re
pose , and a delight to the fortunate be
holder.
When the bachelor by any piece of gooi
luck meets this piece of divinity let him no

A salary of JCOO to $800 a year , with ce
dwelling , coal and oil , is sufficient nt
for not a few women to assume the arduou
and oftentimes dangerous duties of light
house keeper. There are In the neighbor
hood of a score of female keepers In be
United States , and In every case the dutle
are performed In such a manner as to all
forth frequent commendation from those I
a position to judge. One of these wome
performed an act of wonderful heroism earl
lajt year. This was Janet Malby , who las
for years been In charge of the slende
tower built on Elk Neck , a steep rock o
Choaapeako bay. During a terrible north
east rain , hall and wind storm In Februan
1894 , when the waves dashed furious !
against the lighthouse , threatening to lev
It from Its foundation , Janet Malby , ever o
the alert , saw In a frail boat six men strui
gllng In the angry waters some dlsUnc
from the rock. Heedless of the' terrib
risk she ran by venturing out In such
storm , she pushed her own boat out froi
the rock , seized the oars , and finally sui
ceeded In reaching and rescuing the entli
party. Janet Malby U very popular amor

What It C'oita in .Mnrrjr In Style In New
York.
To get married nowadays consistently with
the regulations ot fashion , says a New York
correspondent , U very expensive , even for
ordinary folks who deblro to keep up ap
pearances. If you do not believe It , Just do
the sum In arlthmet c for yourself.
There Is the church to begin with. The
fee for opening the sacred edifice Is $100.
If you want the choir to sing you must pay
$100 In addition. The clergyman's honora
rlum is extra. What It shall bo you are at
liberty to determine , but It Is hardly con
sldered proper t'o give less tnan $25 , whereas
$100 ls by no means excessive. At the
church , as well as at the house , you must
have awnings , and the price for these wll
bo $40.
Flowers are a very Important Item. The
altar has to be decorated , and you can not
make any sort of show for less than $250.
For $50 you can only got a few palms. Palms
come high because of the risk. If the
weather turns cold and they are chilled they
will die and It takes fifteen or twenty years
to grow a palm of decent size. Obviously
the bridesmaids require bouquets , and for
each of these you can hardly get off for less
than $25. The posies are more apt to come
to $50 each at a season when fine roses cos
$2 and $3 each.
Then there are the bridesmaids' gowns
It Is expected that they siall be furnished
and they will cost at least $100 each. O !
course , they are not made so much to please
the wearer as to satisfy the requirements o ;
the occasion and the tnste o ; the bride. 1
can hardly be expected that a brldesmal <
shall go to such expense for a frock to be
worn perhaps only once , and which Is fo
the benefit of somebody else. Thus , as a
mere matter of common sense , It has come
to bo regarded as the proper thing that thes' '
toilets shall bo supplied. Necessarily , they
are all alike. If there Is a maid of hone
she must have a dress , too.
A bride may be married In a traveling
dress , but for a really swell wedding she
must have a special gown , which will hardly
cost less than $250. Dressmakers chargi
extra prices for articles of costume furnl&hci
for weddings , by the way. Of Incldenta
expenses thtye Is no end. In New Yorl
there Is onlytone woman who knows how U
arrange a bride's veil properly. It Is her
specialty , and she charges accordingly. In
fact , she does very little else beside going
from ono house to another and pinning
brides' veils. It Is a business that requires
a high degree of skill. Unless tulle Is
handled by skillful fingers , It Is very unbe
coming. To adjust the wreath of orange
blossoms always artificial , because real
orange blossoms quickly fade and have too
strong an odor Is an art In Itself. It
must be put on just so , else It Is ugly.
Fashion requires that the bridegroom shall
give to each bridesmaid a pn or bracelet ,
and to each usher a scacf-pln or some such
remembrance. It goes without saying thai
the bent man and the maid of honor are not
left out. Those must be handsome , and $50
each Is not too much to pay for them. When
ho was married to Miss Gould Count Castel-
lane gave to each of the ushers and brides
maids a pin , the designs or which was a C
and G tied together In a true lover's knot
The G was In rubles , the knot was of dla
mends and the C was In sapphires. Thus
were united the national colors ot France-
red white and blue In the above account
no mention has been made of the cost uf the
reception nt the house cf the bride. It Is
expected that the drawing rooms and dining
room shall bo profusely decorated with flow
ers , and In this way $300 does not go ver.v
far. Then there Is the "spread , " which may
run up to almost any price. Among the In-
cldi-ntals are Invitations , which arc not cheap
when 1,000 or so of them have to be sent out
On the whole , it Is a costly business to get
married In these days.
