AND IN FEMININE DRESS
It is probable that cycling will have the game effect on woman's by and bye. The new costume for wheel-women, formed on the snme lines as that worn by men, is a sign of the time. This dress, with its full Turkish trousers and tight-fitting coat, is made of material hitherto monopolised by men. The plain white linen collar, the felt hat and gaiters, which are also worn by the advanced woman cyclist, represent an outfit entirely masculine in form. And, of course, the use of masculine styles of dress will not be long confined to bicycling.
