And, speaking of dress, the fashions in bicycle clothes do not differ greatly from those of last year, and the dis- tinctly newest things must necessarily Ibo determined by details. It is to be [hoped that no one is of the opinion that “any old thing" will do for a bicycle suit. No part of the wardrobe is tro' conspicuous, and for a natty appear- ance one. seldom has so good an ore pprtunity as in the seloeting of one's bicycle clothes. The most popular shades for women are lune, brown and cinnamon color, and tst? are seen in (er security and strength. Indeed, when the advantages of the diamond frame come to be generally known it ‘is more than likely that the very na- tural prejudices of most women against riding them will pass away and the)" will come into extended use. To some the fact that women are taking to men's wheels may herald the. fear that, another edition of the new woman is' out-but there is no cause for anxiety., The "mount" is accomplished very) gracefully by tilting the wheel till stepping over is an easy matter.
