that will gei womon out of doom, givo
thorn excreta:), improvo their health, nnd
add to their own personal nppcarnnco.
I havo learnod this from eight years of
experience on tho wheel. Tho groat
point about this, howovor, in, that thoro
is'a way to rldo nnd n way r.ot to ride.
Women need to avoid tho crrora of tho
gontlomon riders of tho wheel. Riding
to break records or to make records Is
bad, especially In tho case of womon. It
is nbusing a healthy pastime that ought
to bo follow d Bolely for pleasuro. When
followed ih a recreation on rational prin
ciples It cm not help but bo a bonollt to
womon folk. Two things nro to Imj con
sidered by tho women riders. They
nro position and dress. A lady rider
should always sit squarely on tho saddle,
with hoad orcct, and tho saddlo shoilld
bo high enough to provent that singularly
awkward movement of tho knees that
resembles tho motions of a grnsshopper.
A ludy should always rldo a blcyclo as
gracefully as sho does a horso.and there
in no rcuson in tho world why sho Bhould
not. Oross has a great deal to do with
making bicycling popular with women.
Bicycling is n pastime that any woman
may indulge in with perfect propriety,
and yot a good many womon aro proju.
dlcod against it because of tho Ill-looking
nttlro that many womon wear. A protty
girl always looks prottlor on n bicycle,
but oho cannot appear well unless sho is
dressed becomingly. Somo women
riders seem to think that any old gar
mont is good enough to go blcyclo rid
Ing in. They ought to soo thomsolvcs
as others see thorn, and they would
never go riding In old or Bhubbyjgnr
montB again. Othors wear gowns that
tho wind plays havoc with, and still
othors copy tho stylo of rnco horso
jockeys. All theso things tend to do
grado bicycling.
" 'Well, what is -tho proper thing to
wear?' was asked.
"Tho gown should bo of durk bluoor
black. But, after all, it isn't bo much
what tho dress worn is, as it is what is
worn under it. A woman Bhould con
suit hor comfort in tho mattor of under
wear. Thoro is a good deal of reform
agitation going on about blcyclo dross
for womon. In Boston tho womon nro
urged to wear tho Syrian trousors, but
that is too radical. Now, tho way I
dress is this: I woar no potticoats, but
instead what aro callod equestrian
trousers. What aro equestrian trousors?
Why thoy aro tights, pluin tights, closoly
knitted and warm. Comfort in riding u
bicyclo depends vory largoly on tho
undorwonr of tho ridor. Womon should
always use tho union underwear, with
an equipoiso waist. That docs away
with corsets, and gives freo play to tho
uppor purt of tho body. Tho outer gown
is of 'tho walking gown pattorn, with n
closo Htting doublo breasted habit
waist, open, at tho throat to permit tho
insertion of u' shirt front with a collar
and scarf. For this habit on warm days
a loose waist of silk or cambric may bo
substituted. Tho making of tho propor
bicyclo dress is an important feature.
It should bo linod with bluck satin.
That will permit it to slip easily over
tho knocs and not impodo tho movement
of tho knees.. How to keop a dress in
order when tho wind blows briskly is a
problem that bothers many women
riders. I will show you how I do it."
Tho young woman lifted tho horn of her
bluck satin linod gown and pointed to a
lino of tnpo, about an inch in width,
sowed along tho bottom of tho gown in
front and at tho sides. "That is sown
in that tupo at regular intervals'," she
said. "It gives Rulllcient weight to keop
tho dress from blowing upward, no
mutter how stitf tho breeze. See how it
works?" Tho young woman sat down
and caught up tho dress u triilo and let
it go again. It slid instantly back into
piaco. "Tho dress," sho continued,
should bo cut so that it will hung about
two inches from tho ground when tho
wearer is walking. Tho best material
for a blcyclo gown I tliul, is cravenotto
cloth. It is dust proof and water proof,
and durable. Ouuutlot gloves should bo
worn with tho gown. Tho hnt should
bo of tho Alpine equestrian pattern and
tho shoes should be low and squuro-tood.
You boo this attire does not dopurt much
from tho conventional stylo of uny neat
wulking attire. Vet it improves tho up
peurunco of any woman bicyclo rider,
and because it is pretty and noat, it will
nuiko all women riders look attractive,
und tho protty ones prettier still. It
will popularize tho heiilthtul sport. If
u woman thiui attired will mount a
bicycle, rldo slowly with hoad erect and
draw In long breaths uud till her lungs
with good fresh ulr,sho will got tho full
bonuflt of tho exorcise and pleasuro of
bicycling. In beginning, two hourB
riding is enough. This can bo increased
daily, littlo by little, until at longth tho
ridee can. rldo all duy if sho wants to
without fooling futigue. Tho blcyclo
should never bo ridden, at any tlmo so
long as tho ridor feels tired out. It tho
women will tako up bluycllng in tho
manner I recommend they will discover
that it is a delightful rocroation. Thoy
will got In n fascinating way tho oxor
ciso they much nood, nnd then health,
and looks, nnd digestion, will all bo im
proved."
