A Pair of Bloomers
bicycling became a craze
with women there had never been
even so much as the shadow of a
quarrel between Mr and Mrs Cran
ston But after Mrs Cranston bought
a bicycle and learned to ride well there
was a disagreement which came very
near breaking up a happy home They
had been married three years and they
had often said that their married life
had been one long honeymoon
Tom had yielded so readily to all of
his wifes whims that she had uncon
sciously gained an Gplnion that her
word was to him like the laws of the
Medes and the Persians
But this idea was all knocked to
pieces when one morning as they sat
ss breakfast Mrs Cranston said
Tom Im going to order my dress
maker to make a suit of bloomers for
me to day I do so much bicycling now
that skirts are too heavy for me
What shouted Tom dropping his
spoon in the oatmeal and spattering
milk all over his necktie looking at her
as though she had announced that she
twj ijoing to commit suicide
e73 Cranston also dropped her spoon
and looked in surprise at her husband
I said she repeated that I was go
ing to get a bloomer suit What strikes
you as particularly strange about that
What strikes me as particularly
strange he repeated with a wild look
in his eyes Do you think for one in
stant that I will allow my wife to race
around town looking like a lithograph
of a variety entertainment Not much
But Tom said Louise in a tone
that had never failed to persuade her
husband that she was right and that he
was wrong I dont see why I cant
have bloomers Mrs Kynaston and
Mrs Bentley and Mrs Jennings all
wear them and their husbands dont
object so why should you
It makes no difference why I should
said Tom doggedly I dont intend
to have my friends on the exchange
coming to me and saying Tom I see
your wifes wearing bloomers Not if
I know it
But Tom she began I
Oh dont talk any more nonsense
Louise he broke in I am sick of it
You shant wear bloomers so that set
tles it And Mr Cranston whose ap
petite had been entirely taken away by
his wifes announcement got up from
the table and started for the door
Good by -he called from the hall
and then the door slammed and Louise
sat at the breakfast table wondering
how it was that she had never before
known that her husband had a will of
his own
She had told all of her friends only
the day before that she would be wear
ing bloomers within a week and when
they had suggested that her husband
might object she had said
What Tom object Why he never
objects to anything
And now Tom had absolutely refused
to allow her to wear them with a facial
expression which showed that he would
not stop short of the divorce courts to
prevent it
Finally she arose from the table and
went to her room
N
She had an idea which she thought if
properly carried out would gain Toms
consent to the wearing of bloomers She
wTrote a hurried note to her dressmaker
ordering a bloomer suit of a pattern
which she had already selected and
then donned her old bicycle suit to pay
a call on Mrs Kynaston who had a
husband that did not object to bloom
ers
She told her troubles to the vivacious
Mrs Kynaston who was not sparing in
her sympathy for the poor friend wTho
had a narrow minded husband who ob
jected to a convenient bicycle dress
Why how foolish oi him she said
I dont believe the poor man has ever
seen a proper bicycling costume Ill
tell you what well do Well all go
bicycling this afternoon and come back
by your house at just the time your hus
band gets home and he will see what
a bloomer suit looks like
And so the bicycle party was arrang
ed and when Thomas Cranston arrived
at his house that evening he saw five
women riding in front of the house and
four of them were in full bloomer cos
tume The fifth who wore skirts was
his wife
He was not so badly shocked as he
thought he would be and he wished
that he had not been so decided in his
refusal of his wifes request but he
made up his mind that it would be un
manly to yield after his remarks of the
moaning and so with a bow to his wife
and her companions he went indoors
and began to dress for dinner
That night Louise again broached the
subject of bloomers but her husband si
lenced her by saying
Now see here Louise dont speak to
me about bloomers again You may go
in for womens rights if you like and
you may wear standing collars and
mens waistcoats but you shall not
wear trousers even if bicycling does
justify it in your eyes1
Trousers cried Louise indignantly
Who said anything about trousers
I was talking about bloomers
I know you were said Mr Cran
ston and please dont talk about them
any more Im tired of it and I wont
hear it mentioned again
The next morning when Mr Cranston
put on his coat to start for his office his
wife called him brick and said
Tom Ill promise youjiever to men
tion bloomers again but if you ever
change your mind about them please
tell me for Im really very anxious to
wear them
The smile which for twenty four
hours had been absent from Tom Cran
stons face came again and be kissed
his wife
Thats a dear good girl Louise he
said I hated to refuse your request
but really I dont like the idea of your
wearing those things And now if
there is anything else you want me to
do for you just name it and Ill do it
He went away but returned in a mo
ment and called out
Oh Louise Im going to a dinner at
the club to night and I want you to
have my dress suit handy when I come
home Good by
Now then said Louise as she went
upstairs Ill see if I cant make Mr
Tom change his opinion about bloom
ers That promise of his was the very
thing I wanted
The hour longed for by both came at
last Tom entered the house and rushed
to his room to put on his dress suit
Oh Tom Louise called while he
was dressing come down here I want
you to redeem your promise of this
morning and do me a favor
All right he called Ill be down
in a minute and Ill keep my promise
He found his wife sitting on the floor
with a dress pattern in front of her and
dress goods scattered all around
Well whats all this he asked
Are you making a rag carpet What
is it you want me to do for you If its
to clean up all this mess here I shall re
fuse for I have some work to do next
week
No she said laughing I dont
want you to clean up the mess and Im
not making a rag carpet Im making
a bicycle dress which I must have early
to morrow morning and I want you to
let me drape the skirt on you so that it
will hang all right
But Louise he objected Ive got
to -go out to that dinner at 8 oclock
and its nownearly 7 1 wont have time
I cant let it go for I must have it
to morrow morning she insisted
Youve promised to do what I asked
and now when I want you to do a little
thing like this you refuse and I think
its real mean
Mrs Cranston stood up holding a pat
tern in one hand and an unfinished
dress in the other and looked as
though she were about ic burst into
tears
Oh come now Louise he said im
patiently Cant you see that your re
quest is trivial and unreasonable and
I must go to that dinner
The tears that had seemingly been
held back with such an effort now be
came visible and rolled down her
cheeks
I think its mean she sobbed You
promised to do anything I wanted you
to -and now you wont keep your word
Ive cut up my other dress and the bi
cycle party is of just as much import
ance as your old dinner
Mr Cranston looked grave He did
not want to lose that dinner and he
didnt want to break his promise
How long will this fitting business
last he questioned after several mo
ments silence broken only by the sob
bing of his wife
About half an hour she replied
brightening up a little
Well then hurry up said Crans
ton throwing off his coat and standing
erect Bring the thing here
And so the gown was put on Mr
Cranston and Louise dropped on one
knee and began pinning the draperies
in a hurried manner
You see Tom she said as she tuck
ed up the first fold and surveyed it
with a critical eye this is of the great
est importance to me and I know you
will help me out
Um was the only answer her hus
band made He was looking straight
at the clock and wondering how it was
that the minute hand was moving so
fast
He thought thattheclock must be out
of order He pulled out his watch and
saw that the minute hand there moved
with the same railroad speed and it
was 730 oclock
Are you anywhere near through
he asked impatiently
She shook her head and turned her
attention to the dress Tom fumed as
he noticed that it was now 745
Have you any idea how soon you
will be through he asked with a
forced calmness
Not the slightest she replied in a
voice that was either muffled by pins
or laughter Tom couldnt tell which
for she was stooping and studying the
hem of the dress
At that moment the door opened and
Mr Kynaston the husband of Mrs
Cranstons bloomer wearing friend
threw open the door and stood gazing
in open mouthed astonishment
Why Tom he said wlien he re
covered himself I thought you were
going to call for me if you left down
town first You know you told me so
and said if I got ready first I was to
come here and walk right in Are you
going to the dinner
This will be all over the exchange
to morrow groaned Tom inwardly
Yes Im going to the dinner if Louise
ever gets through with ths miserable
skirt he added aloud
Oh nonsense why- dont she wwr
bloomers Come on We are late al
ready said his friend
Louise whispered Cranston if
youll call my promise off you may
have bloomers or anything else you
want
Oh you dear good boy cried
Louise with well feigned surprise Go
to your dinner Now hurry or youll
be late
Then Tom after kissing her good by
rushed off to the club
Louise put on her bonnet and went to
Mrs Kynastons house
Katie she cried as her friend wel
comed her at the door Im to have
bloomers
And then she told the story of the
manner in which her husband had been
induced to change his mind
And she said in conclusion I bought
the bloomers yesterday and Ill wear
them to morrow
You really cried did you asked
Mrs Kynaston Well Lousie if you
went in for woman suffrage we would
have it in twenty four hours Talk
about mens executive ability Why I
believe you could make your husband
wear bloomers himself New Yoru

In July 1796 the protracted ill
ness from which Burns had been suf
fering became so acute that he was ad
vised to go to the seaside as a last re
sort writes Arthur Warren apropos
of the approaching centenary of Rob
ert Burns death in the Ladies Home
Journal He went off to Brow on
Solway Firth All his thoughts at this
time were of his wife whose condi
tion was such as to warrant his fears
His anxiety for her increasing he has
tened back to Dumfries He was so
weak on reaching home that he could
hardly stand Barely able to hold a
pen he wrote a note of appeal begging
his wifes mother who was estranged
from her daughter to come on to Dum
fries as Jean was in urgent need of
her care They were the last words ho
ever wrote
Let us not forget that the expiring
effort of the failing genius was
pelled by tender anxiety for his loving
Avife In his dying hours he begged
her if his mind should wander to
touch him and thus recall him to him
self It was as he wished The touch
of his -Jean was the last sensation
which Robert Burns carried with him
to eternity He died on the twenty
first of July 179G in the thirty eighth
year of his age On the day of his
burial his son Maxwell was born
The little fellow lived less than three
years
The Scottish admiration for Burns
was so great that his widow and chil
dren three sons and two daughters
were not suffered to know want A
subscription of six thousand dollars
was immediately raised for them Four
years later that is to say in 1800 Cur
ries well known edition of the poetg
works appeared This realized seven
thousand dollars more for the family
These sums made a snug fortune in
those days Duly invested the amount
yielded an income for the modest
though comfortable maintenance of
Jean and her children Jean Burns
survived her husband thirty eight
years

A Novel Idea
To keep babies from crying an in
genious device has been resorted to
in India The moment a child begins
to cry its mother places her hand over
its mouth and nips its nose so that
it cannot breathe Then it is allowed
to breathe freely again but should it
make use of the opportunity to again
set up a howl it is at once suppressed
in the same way This is repeated till
the baby imagines that the painful
stoppage of the breath is caused by its
own effort to scream and so is careful
to keep quiet
