the head, with shooting pangs when you

You can see well. You are clear headed,
and nothing Is wrong, apparently. About
noontime your eyes surprise you by 'clos

remaining shut a second, to open again
with a stinging sensation. By afternoon
you areas drowsy as you ough tto be at mid
night, and by dusk you cannot see at all.
Later, this drowsiness wears off, your
eyes sparkle and bum, until your friends
tell you how brilliant you arc looking.
But when the lights are out the drowsy

"Go on," said the society woman,
catching her breath with a little gasp of
eurprise.
"Oh, there is not much more, but If you
live to be seventy you will wear black
glass spectacles."
"Why? Why? How am I to blame,"
cried the society beauty, alarmed at the
picture; "and what can I do?"
"Dou't 'use your eyes so much. Tou

not very 6trong, and of plain appearance;

eyes of hers. They are only fair-sized,
and they are the ordinary 'round' eyes of

But the lingular part of it was this.

'Look right at me.'
"She did as I told Jier, but she dropped

An April Song.
I'll sing you a song of the chattering wren,
Of the bluebird's mellow note.
Of the early frog in his reedy fen,
Whose song is drowned in his throat;
The sun peeps out from the cloudy skies,
And up from thesoutha warmbreathslghs.
I'll sing you a song of the swelling buds,
That are ready to burst with joy,
Of the willows green that the winter floods
Have tried, but in vain, to destroy.

Both off eran Incense up to God.

jijskk arc as
many cycle out
fits tailor-bicycle
costumes in the
shops this spring
as there are tea
gowns. The rcady
niadc suits are" in
two pieces blazer
and bloomers. The
women who have
their bicycle suits
made get them sometlmesin three pieces and
sometimes in two, which means that thero
are always bloomers, and that there may or
may not be skirts also.
. This discourse Is mainly upon skirts, be
cause knickers have no longer the fascina
tion of faddism. A woman who wai try
ing to smoke a cigarette remarked plain
tively: "I wish that nasty thing was
proper, then I could throw it away."
Knickers have become bo proper that the
flu de siccle girl, who cares only for the
thing that is a trifle risque, doesn't have to
wear them. They will stand on their own
legs in tho future, to be woni or not to be
worn, as they prove or fall to prove them
selves the most practicable garments for
cycling.
The woman who Is able to pay from $G0

to $80 for a thoroughly up-to-date and
thoroughly conventional wheeling dress is
out on the boulevards thissprinj iu a pepper
and salt melton bklrt, made to open on the
sides instead of in the back, and coming
down to the top of the shoes. This skirt is
scant or full, according to the rider's
figure, and is lined with a very heavy silk
or with farmer's satin. Under it she wears
bloomers, or, very possibly, equestrian
tights, buttoning just below the knees. A
Bingle-button cutaway coat, with a shirt
waist or a silk blouse gives her the smart
look so necessary to her peace of mind. Her
headgear is a Scottish cap with two quills,
and on her feet she has low russet shoes
meeting leggings.
The woman, or her tailor, would give
THESE DARE
these explanations: Melton, is the most
durable of materials; pepper and salt shows
no dust; the leggings matched the skirt and
meet the tights or knickers, so that no sort
of accident can cause any exposure; the
Scottish cap is bright colored, and relieves
the sombreue&s of the rest of the rig. The
shoes are soft and low-heeled.
Tho woman I have been talking about
gets her fashions from London. The girl
who imports hers from Paris rides in a very
much shorter skirt, which Is blue or green
in color, and has a wonderfully gay little
jacket to match it, with a straw hattrimmed
with roses. One doesn't see the French girl
very often. Bicycle riders adhere to a very
righteouB code, that, if skirts arc not to bo
long enough to be skirts, it is really more in
accord with the proprieties to drop them
frankly, sfand upon the necessities of the
occasion, and come out bravely In knickers.
The woman who rides much has her
sweater. This is white, with, of course,
immense sleeves. Sometimes it is striped
with blue orpiuk, or embroidered withaclub
monogram. It buttons at the shoulders,
and is decidedly a welcome innovation.
The "knickers" pf '95 defy description.
They are too numerous and too varied. In an
hour's walk in Central Park this morning I
noted:,
A girl ot nineteen in very full knicker
bockers of gray tcrge, gathered into a band
Just below tho knee. She had aflgaro
jacket, made with pointed revers, faced with
whiteclothandopeninoverabodiceofwhito
surah. Her tie and waist were of tartan
plaid. She wore a Scotch cap and looked
uncommonly jaunty.
A young societv matron wheeling in a
full divided skirt of brown cloth over
which she wore a Spanish jacket.
A girl not yet out, in very short skirt
of Highland plaid, with tight, black knickers
showing below it. Broad-buckled shoes,
black short jacket and cap with feather
made a strikingly jaunty costume.
A blonde of pretty figure, in regular
black riding pantaloons, buttoned up to
the kneo and tight-fitting around tho calf.
A short, flaring coat did scarcely more
than offer a pretense ot draperies.
A plump mite of a woman in gray knick
erbockers, full at tho hips, but narrowing at
the knees, like a man's ruling breeches, and
fastened with a buttoned band. A Nor
folk jacket and an Alpine hat finished a
most business-like equipment.
A girl of twenty or twenty-one who was
making time in dull red knickers, close
fitting at the waist line and growing grad
ually fuller until the puffs which, drooped
over the gaiters about her knees were like
scant double skirts. This girl wore a red
blouse, with belt and enonnouB sleeves.
The full knickers, liko the divided skirts,
are hideous and not especially convenient.
They're not worth tho cost of a revolution
in society. There are times whem compro
mises wont work. This Is one of them.
It's a choice between, the conventional and
tho radical skirts and fairly close-fitting
knickers. Thoro'a ho good foothold on
any middle ground. ' ' ,
Tho best cycling blouses are of linen.
Silk is very well f0r amateurs. Soft
gray linen, striped with pink or green,
or dark red, is the, prettiest possible
relief of the monotonous pepper and Bait
of tiiti received rldiijg poatume.
Riding ulsters arc Just on the market.
To walk, or, worse yet, to take a street
car from home to thepark where tho morn
ing spin is to beginQs' not the pleasantest
of experiences, if onejis new to one's knick
ers. Coats that comb to the heels and
effectually conceal tb bifurcated gar
ments are bought byprcry girl who can
arford them. -
Ready-made cycling suits take away
much of the pleturesqueness of tho sport
nd testify to its popularity. All the
big Bhops are full of them. They cost
from $12 to $112, and a Very moderate
price will procure Berge, cheviot or la
dles' cloth bloomers, with coat and blouse
or sweater. The cheapest ones arc as hide
ous as ready-made bathing suits, but the
shopgirl who spends her spare change to
hire a machine will soon tench the shop
to treat her better,. Before autumu
there'll be really good cycle suits at bar
gain sales.
It seems tiiat bloomers havo como to
stay.
And now the question naturally arises
as they say in debates when no such ques
tion would ever have thought of arising if it
hadn't been fished out of obscurity against
its will where are you going to draw
the Hue? , , -x
This question really does arise, don't
you know. I have heaTd of a landlady
who had a boarder. That is to say, a
particular boarder, who had a bicycle
suit of pattern bifurcate. And this
landlady, moved to wrath by the board
er's habit of wearing her bicycle suit
about the house, was moved to this wise
rcmnrk: "I wou'thavo it. It's all right to
wear 'em bicycling, it the others do, I
'spoae, but you can't wear 'em in my house,
where where "
"Whero there's nobody to sec," inter
rupted the boarder.
But, after all, the landlady was right,
and tho boarder wasn't. Just as soon as
the mysterious "they" wear bloomers
In ballrooms, or rings ih their noseds, it will
be quite right for one lone woman to do
so, and not much before. For there's
luck in odd numbers, only when the num
bers are so largo that they have ceased'
to be odd.
Stll, a considerable extension of what
we may call the bloomer principle has
proved possible. Obviously bifurcated
unmasculinc specimens of the genus homo
were observed skating in Central Park
las,t winter, and in more authoritative
London. Bloomers are recognized as
suitable for walking trips, shooting tramiis
few of these are tak6n-by women in this
country.
Perhaps the landlady will be less obdu
rate by and by, and perhaps she won't.
Ther eis only one safe rule in matters of
fashion, and that is that one never can
tell. ELLEN OSBORN.

"Oh, did I tell you about the way we set
tled an elegant admirer who sat opposite us
in the street car?" asked one of a group of
girls who were eating ices in a Woodward
avenue cafe.
"No, never; do let us hear it," was the
interested answer.
"There were Jessie, Graceand myself .and
he sat on the opposite seat and tried to hyp
notize us."
"What did he do?"
"Just stared at us without a particle ot
expression in his face, trying to make us
notice him. I never felt so queer in my
life. Ijustcouldii'tlookaway.andthenwe
both of us thought of the same thing at
once, Jessie and I a clear case of mind
waves, wasn't it? and we just looked at his
feet."
"Well, what good did that do?"
"Why, don't you known, girls, you can
always embarrass a man by looking at his
feet? And w e stared and stared, and iie be
gan to fidget and tried to churk them under
the seat ot the car, and then he couldn't
bear it a minute longer, and he rushed out
ot the car and we were saved."
"We'll remember the remedy," chorused
the girls, as they finished their cream, "the
very next time any man stares at us."

"Useful Scrnps of Silk.
Never throw away a scrap of black silk.
An inch strip of black silk is a boon some
times. Alter ripping up the old gown take
tbrce or four old kid gloves and put them
to boil in a pint of water. Let them boil
for an hour, strain through a cloth, and put
in the liquid a quart or more of hot water
and a tablespoonftil of boraax. Lay your
silk flat on a perfectly clean table that has
no seams or cracks in it, and rub every Inch
ot the Eilk with the mixture, till it is thor
oughly saturated and all spots are removed.
Then fix a tub of warm water. In which put
a liberal quantity of borax, and pick the silk
up by the corners and dip it up and down in
the tub of water. Dip and dip until it is well
rinsed, then take out to the line, where you
have pinned a long strip of cloth about a
toot wide. To the edge of this cloth pin the
Bilk by the extreme edge, stretching it so
that it iB not wrinkled and does not droop.
Let it drip dry, and it will need no ironing.
Do this on a bright day when there Is no
wind. Black ribbons may be cleaned the
same way.

Illockp of Milk.
Irkutsk Is a city of Central Siberia where
people have more occasion for fire and furs
thari'for artificial ice-cream or thin clothing.
The markets of Irkutsk are an interesting
sight in the winter time, for every thing on
sale is frozen solid. Fish are piled up In
.stacks like so much cord-wood, and meat
likewise. AH kinds of low! are similarly
frozen and piled up.
Some atnmals brought into the market
whole are propped up on theirlesandbava
the appearance of being actually alive, and
as you go through the markets you seem to
be surrounded by living pigs, sheep, oxen,
and fowls standing up and watching you as
though you were a visitor to the barnyard.
But, stranger still, even the liquids are
frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk Is
frozen into a block in this way, with a string
or a stick frozen into or projecting from it.
This is for the convenience of the purchaser,
who can take his milk by the string or stick
and carry it home, swung across his ehoul
der. So in a double sense, such as is unknown
in other countries, a man can huv his drink
"with a stick In it." Moscow Herald.
