The pattern today is for a stylish skirt of medium width.

The two back gores are laid in boxplalts, or they may be gathered. The medium size is four and one-half yards wide at the bottom. When narrow fabrics are used it is necessary to piece out each gore. Wide materials which are not twice the width of the goods should be opened out and doubled across the length. In this way the back and side gores may be cut out of one length if there is no up and down to the pattern.

The side gores are cut with a straight edge to meet the front present an appearance that is simply horrible. Take, for instance, the tall, lanky woman and the short, fat kind. They both are sights in bloomers. The person of medium height and build, clothed in bloom-era or knickers that are just right, presents, to me, a pretty picture. But I rather fancy the short skirt worn over bloomers for most women, as no matter what their style may be they are more generally acceptable clothed so than in any other costume.

But the skirt should be short and scant. I don't like to see a woman going along the boulevard with one side or both sides of her skirt held in her hands at the handle-bars to keep it out of the wheel. Give me shoes by all means; high ones, too, not merely covering the ankles but the calf as well. Scotch stockings? Perfect abominations when worn by women. What I like to see is a woman modestly and sensibly dressed, even though she is a cyclist." Longr Jackets Most ImpoAant.

I must confess to a slight preference in favor of the short skirt." says George K. Uarrett, although knickerbockers or bloomers are all right in my estimation. The reason I favor the short skirt is its more natty appearance off the wheel. I prefer knickerbockers to bloomers because they look better either on or orf the wheel. There is one thing that I should insist on.

however, were I old enough to be the father of a bicycle-riding gii 1, and that is that she should wear a coat or sacyue long enough to come at least to the top of her saddle while she was riding. Nature has so constructed the women that they cannot play leap frog gracefully nor present a pleasing appearance while at the game. The position on a bicycle is much the same as in leap frog, and that is the reason that I believe in the long sacque. While, riding in the country much of appearance may properly be sacriticed for comfort, but not style. The vender is at once cook, waiter, and cashier.

Eatables and Eaters. The piece de resistance is chicken sandwich, which consists of a quarter section of a small spring chicken, cold, placed between two slices of bread, with the accompaniment of a pickle, a green onion, or a dash of catsup. This costs lo or 13 cents. Pork chops, ham, pig's feet (fresh or pickled), fried fish, codfish cakes, and eggs are also put in sandwich form, mostly ao live cents each. A distinguished favorite, only five cents.

Is Hamburger steak sandwich, the meat for which is kept ready in small patties and cooked while you wait on the gasoline range. Fried oysters, breaded, are also a popular sandwich ingredient. The sandwich man takes In from to $7 a night, perhaps $12 on Saturday or other special nights this special implying when many people are out late and makes an average profit of 23 per cent on his outlay, say $12 a week, besides much of the food required lor himself and family. Many of them keep no horse, but hire one at 50 cents a day to haul the sandwich car to and from its nightly stand. It is a business principle of the class to siell out everything, if necessary even at a startling reduction, before going home in the morning, so that supplies for next night may all be fresh cooked.

We must have everything fresh and good," said the little State street woman, for the colored people are very steady customers, and so many of them are cooks and waiters that they're nice judges of food. And they do eat, too. Lord bless you! a colored j'son may go In rags, but if there's a nickel to be had in the land he'll get a supper for it. Our best customers? well, anybody may guess that it's the poor creatures that live along those back streets. Numbers of them live in single rooms, whera they do their own housekeeping, but these hot summer nights they don't want to light a fire and so they come here and get a couple of sandwiches, and usually bring a pail to take home beer for their supper.

God help them! Some of them are very liberal and A few nights ago. at the corner of a crossing of South State street, two well-dressed young men approached what is known as a lunch car," or sandwich car," and asked to be furnished with chicken sandwiches. The caterer in charge was a stout-built, comely little woman, who immediately selected the material of the sandwiches and, at the request of her customers, enclosed them in a single wrapping of newspaper. As she laid this parcel on the window-counter her attention was for a moment diverted to the other side of the car. In an instant the purchase was snatched by one of the young men and both darted away as fast as they could sprint Into the obscurity of the side street.

The sandwich woman was taken by surprise, her customers had seemed so respectable, but on realizing the loss she at once climbed down from the car and began a pursuit, screaming out as she ran: Thieves! Thieves! Stop thief! But the youths were nimble; the streets were almost deserted; nobody joined in the chase. After running a couple of rods, too, it flashed on the woman's mind that perFiaps '4 -Vt 4 Woman Cared Majority Favors Skirt Over "Knickers and Stock-loss Some Say Sweaters.

A neat cycling costume worn ty a woman will excite favorable comment cn the part of men riders, while an and Inappropriate sarb will as quickly excite unfavorable comment.

While men may not display a very great familiarity with the technical terms which describe the intricacies of female dress, they are yet. at a glance, able to distinguish between the becoming and the unbecoming, between the appropriate and the inappro-- priate. Judging from the views expressed by wheelmen generally the long skirt and the i.l-fitting bloomer are equally in disfavor. It some wheelwomen could see themselves as others see them the long skirt and the balloon bloomer would be quickly relegated ts the regions of Umbo. The law of evolution applies to the question of cycling dress with the same force 89 to the development and betterment of the human species.

Any observing person can readily see that wheelwomen are this year dressing more tastily, more neatly, and more sensibly than ever before. The freak costumes of last season have given way to dre33 more artistic, more appropriate, and more pleasing to the eye of man. Women are learning that they can look neat both on and off the wheel. As the day of universal cycling approaches, so also is approaching the day when wheelwomen may be even fashionably attired. Tastefal Dresses Already Seen.

In the parks and boulevards now and then will be seen a rider who ha3 combined material and color in such a way as to make herself thoroughly attractive and pleasing in appearance. Wheelmen are almost a unit in the belief that leggins look coarse and ungraceful. Skirts of such length as to continually catch in the chain or rear wheel excite tiie commiseration of wheelmen, and the ill-fitting 'r NO. 7,843 FIVE-GORED SKIRT. gore.

The back gores are bias on both sides. If striped goods is used and one wishes to have the stripes meet at all seams, fold the side gore through Its length, making the edges meet the center on a straight thread at all seams; fold the side gores, making edges meet, and crease down the center. Then place this crease on a lengthwise thread or at stripe, and cut; this brings both seams on the bias. This pattern costs 10 cents, and may be ordered from the Pattern Department of The Tribune. It cuts for twenty to thirty Inches bust measure.

A medium size requires seven yards of material and twenty-one inches wide. Always give bust measure for waists, basques, coats, and jackets. For skirts give waist measure. For children's patterns it i3 advisable to give age. The war song festival for the benefit of the George F.

Root monument fund drew great crowds to theCoIiseum yesterday afternoon and evening. The musical programs were made up largely of selections from the works of the favorite battle singer in whose memorial honor the great hall was rilled. Their interpreters were Mrs. Genevra Johnstone Bishop, Miss May Plumb, Jules Lumbard, the Svithiod and Swedish Glee clubs, and a chorus-choir of 1,000 children, all assisted by the Second Regiment baud, under the direction of Ellia Brooks. William L.

Tomlins and Frederick W. Root, the son of the composer, were alternates in directing the concert. The numbers on the programs were largely patriotic, but the typical song service was appropriately introduced in the afternoon by 'Rosalie, the Prairie Flower," Dr. Root's first song, written when he was 16, and long anonymous because of the author's modest diffidence. This and The Hazel Dell the children sang alone and touchingly.

John M. Hubbard, the Assistant Postmaster, was then due to sing Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," but he was unavoidably absent, and Mrs. Bishop most fervently filled his place. Field service music, by the drum and bugle corps of the Second Regiment, I. N.

Electrifies His Audience. The aged singer's mellow and powerful voice was seemingly never in better tone or sympathy, and as the sonorous words rolled out, "We are springing to the call of our brothers gone before," the great audience impulsively rose and waited with breathless intentness to join in the chorus which rumbled and surged till it filled the great chamber with a volume of melody which hushed the brazen harmonies of the 100 musicians in the band. It was a pure compliment to Mr.

Lumbard's wonderful singing, for the same audience a few moments before had failed to rise, as requested by the program, for the singing of America." Luther Laflin Mills delivered the oration in the afternoon. He deftly interwove quotations from Dr. Root's songs with his oratory and each time the familiar patriotic line was axplauded to the echo. He said We are here to wreathe new laurels to our sweet singer of Israel, who, in the country's peril, strengthened the hearts of patriots as he swung the censer of noble song in the temple of the Nation's heroes.

The mystic chords of memory stretch from every battlefield of the war and, stricken, give forth harmonies that help to swell tho chorus of tho Union.

To this army the singer was a constant in the city- Here's a Friend of Bloomers. Jm J. Berger, President of the SI.

W. Cycling club, expresses the following opinion: I think there is nothing that will compare In appearance with the properly made bloomer. While women' seem to be improving in the construction and management of skirts I yet think the bloomer girl presents the better appearance on a wheel. However, some of them don't. To my mind one of the best proofs of the real utility of the bloomer lies in the fact that many a quiet, modest little woman rides her wheel after dusk, attired in bloomers.

In the day time she may wear skirts, or she may not wheel at all. but In the evening she rides in bloomers, because she considers them neat and sensible. I like to see a woman wear bicycle stockings. Leggins and boots look cumbersome and heavy. I like a sweater, of course, for all-round riding." For llloomera Properly Made." Ed J.

Porter of the Illinois Cycling club, and one of the old-timers, says: "I am a believer in the wearing of bloomers, if the bloomers are properly made. Short skirts, with knickerbockers, look very well. A skirt should not, however, reach more than two inches below the knee. I yet prefer the bloomers both for city and country riding. Skirts blow up.

Iiloomers never do. Sweaters as at present made are the proper thing for the Sadies. They are more comfortable than ar.y shirtwaist ever made. I like the high bicycle boots those that come well up over the calf of the leg. A bicycle gill should wear a bicycle, cap.

The following is part of a letter from on of Chicago's brightest young women In Norway and Sweden: My Dear If any one had whispered to us the 'open sesame' of Scandinavia we could not have had more gates to all that is beautiful and interesting opened up to us.

The scenery I cannot even begin to describe to you, but let me tell you of a meeting with one of this north land's masterpieces, not perhaps included in the scenery. It was with whom do you think? Ibsen! The Immortal Henrich Ibsen! I actually thrill even now when I think of it. Wa just saw him one day In the street. Just about to step on to a street car, and my ex. citement was so great that I rushed after him, for what special reason I scarcely know, excepting I think I intended to get on the same car.

But I was suddenly stopped by the recollection that I had not a cent I mean an ora 'in my pocket and that mamma, who is general purse-bearer to our majesties, was somewhere behind. Have you not read somewhere that Ibsen rather delighted in showing himself to tha curious? And, perhaps, on account of his was it not peasant origin felt his own Importance more than those who are to tha manner I think I have. Well, tha same night that I had seen him on the street I was not surprised when I walked Into tha dining-room of our hotel to find him seated not far from our table. When our waiter pointed him out to us he was seated on a little balcony opening out of the dining-room and overlooking the hotel garden; sipping absinthe and reading the newspaper like any ordinary Norwegian mortal. This second rencontre was almost mora than I could stand, and after a supper which was a considerable Jumble of tea and rolls and Ibsen, I remembered that I had also read or heard somewhere that he really enjoyed being recognized and spoken to.

The waiter bore me out in this and oven added that It was his delight to talk particularly with Americans or with English paople. (Tha waiter was not quite sure of our nationality, but he was positive wa spoka English.) True Chicasro Enterprise. The result was Sue and I took what littla courage we could muster and walked over to his table. In a rather Incoherent sentence I said to him in German, for ha does not speak English, might wa please Just shake hands with him? He looked up suddenly from his paper and then jumped up and extended that coveted hand In the heartiest manner imaginable. It la Buch a surprise to see htm standing! His lion's head, as I always think of it, with Its mass of white hair, is the only thing about him that might be called fierce.

He is remarkably short, wearing a long black coat and a high hat, probably to give the appearance of height. His eyes, in spite of their keenness and wonderful intelligence, are of a soft earnestness that banish all feeling of fear and timidity that his head may hava aroused. And, indeed. Sue and I had completely forgotten that we had advanced upon him with fear and trembling. When he began to speak we immediately began to feel ourselves being taken into hts life.

By that I mean he truly appeared to be interested in us and in our doings. He asked us numberless questions in a soft, low-tone voice that was far from weak; on the contrary, in spite of its softness there was a depth to it that made it never-to-be-forgotten. Voices always affect me, but his is one that might affect any one. He seemed to await with interest an answer to each question he asked, and we found before long we had actually told him much about ourselves. His German seems to be correct, but Is spoken very slowly and thoughtfully, and I wondered if he spoke his own language in the same distinct way.

Well, this pleasure ef ours could not last fore'er. After a very little while, it seemed to us, I said I hoped he would forgive our interruption, and his answer translated, But it was a beautiful interruption, was really said as if It were meant. His handshake, for we were allowed that pleasure a second time, is firm and honest, as is everything else about him. Although he is an old man do you know how old? one feels that he will not lack for energy to the last. I told him I had read some of his works, but I did not tell him I could only half understand them.

The man himself, however, I have always been Interested In, and on the whole it was a meeting well worth while and can be counted as one of my red-letter day meetings with celebrities, who are so often aadly disappointing."

If made shorter and closer fitting it would never catch in the wneel nor would the playful zephyrs toss it about so freely. Another season will undoubtedly witness rapid improvement in the appearance of cycling costumes.

The rider who is now seen in the street desperately attempting to steer her wheel with cne hand while with the other she is pulling down a skirt which will persist in flying up in her lap will be a decided novelty. She will probably ear a weighted skirt or one made of such material it will remain in place in a St. Louis cyclone. If she wears full knickerbockers or bloomers they will be so artistically designed as to cause only favorable comment. These expressions of opinion on tlie part some of Chicago's most prominent and Lest-khown wheelmen may not be without Interest.

They will at least serve to show that wheelmen have ideas, more or less pronounced, on a subject which is at present agitating the feminine portion of the cycling Allow one week to elapse before znakins complaint of non-receipt of pattern.

i Depends Fpon the Occasion. I C. M. Fairchild, Secretary of the Century Road club of America 1 think that the dress to be worn by a wheelwoman should depend entirely upon the occasion for which it is to be used that is to say, if she is riding a i century or even taking an easygoing country trip the knickerbocker is the proper thing, while if she is riding in the parks where there i are many people afoot and in carriages who are only too prone to criticise she should tm on receiving orders than to say, Yes, madam," and make the salute cf his pro- i fession.

sa-3: I have always been friendly to the wearing of bloomers, provided they were built on the right that is. for all-round road riding. For city riding, however, and in case the rider is out shopping or making calls, I think that rather full knickerbockers with a short skirt and light boots are about proper. The one great objection to the wearing of knickerbockers is that, as frequently made, they fit too closely and display the female form divine to such an extent as to excite comment. The wearing of a very short jacket I dislike also, and on the same grounds.

Many people, and particularly non-riders, are very prone to criticise in such matters. Short skirts are very becoming on most women, but skirts should be so made es" not to creep up on the lap. Xothing looks worse than a skirt which blows up on the slightest provocation. "If bloomers looked as well on all as they Co on some I should favor the bloomers every time. Scotch stockings of neat patterns are very becoming to most riders.

A woman should have good taste and exercise that pood taste in selecting her cycling apparel. What Is becoming to one is not becoming to all. I abhor the wearing of long skirts. When a woman goes wheeling let her dress for the wheel." Is Opposed to Oriental Dress. II.

II. Gardiner, founder of the North Fhore Wheelmen and a delegate to the Associated Cycling Clubs, does not admire the bloomer costume as ordinarily worn, for the reason very few women look r-eat in them. I do not believe," said he, we have yet reached the time when Oriental attire is considered the proper thing as a cycling costume for women. I am a believer in a medium length skirt, with knickfrs underneath. I also like to see a wheclwoman wear a cycling cap and bicycle boots.

A colored skirt waist and white collar look well on most women. The skirt looks well on nearly all, while bloomers look well on but few. The rank and file of the fair cyclists do not know how to wear blcomtirs, and I thick that by next season the bloomers will be relegated to the clothes closets. The skirt of medium length there was everything from the I believe we have met before inclination to the I am so glad to see you recognition. Then she saw speeding toward her on a bicycle Mr.

As between the bicycle boot and leggins, I rrefer the boot for the reason that it can be laced up and kept in plaea, while leggins will wrinkle and lock slovenly.

So far as the wearing of a bicycle cap is concerned, I believe that a woman should consider her own facial peculiarities before deciding upon her headgear. She should certainly wear whatever is becoming regardless of what some other woman may wear. If a cap is becoming she should wear a cap. but if a hat is more becoming she should wear a hat. I like to see a woman wear a box cent while on the wheel.

It always looks both neat and nobby and is becoming to nearly every ore. For country riding I prefer the sweater, while for city riding a stylish sweater of some unobtrusive color or a shirt waist would be about the thing. A wheelwoman should have good taste, and exercise that good taste in her wheel attire as she should in her walking dress or ballroom dress. wiches. Very often it is to feed the young men that hang around them, and these are mostly of a dangerous class." Have you any other masculine customers? yes, frequently.

Young men coming from the theater, or who have been out drinking or gambling, mostly likes a sandwich as they pass rather than go into one of the restaurants. Then there's the printers coming home towards morning, men waiting for a car, and so on. Sometimes they're very respectable people. One night I had a millionaire buy a lot of chicken sandwiches and treat ail the boys on the sidewalk, and call up every one that passed until he had cleaned out my whole stock, and then lie gave me $2 to get a sandwich for myself and took off the boys in a crowd to give them a drink." Is that, why you judged him to be a millionaire? No, no: the saloonkeeper knew him well and told me next day that he had been out on a spree and that his name was And here the little woman mentioned a name that figures not rarely in important operations of the Chicago Board of Trade. She Gives Credit Sometimes.

Yes, she gave credit sometimes, to those whose faces she knew among the class named as her best customers: and, strange to say, they were usually both prompt and grateful in repaying such indebtedness. In dealing with the fallen ones of her sc-x she had found that kindness and civility always aroused in them a keen sens of honor. Many of them, poor were wont to speak to her with the tender respect they might once have shown to their mothers. In reply to a question. there's never a night passes but some hungry and homeless people come to beg food at the car.

The times must bo still awful hard, sir. We can't do much for such people, but we do all we can. Now one night not long ago there was a boy of that class came to me and said he was so weak from hunger ho could hardly cross the street. His clothes were fairly good, but he was dusty and grimy, as if from a long journey, and when 1 gave him a couple of sandwiches he said, with tears in his eyes, that maybe some day he'd come back and ray me. And sure enough he did.

The following Saturday evening he called round, bright and clean, paid for the two sandwiches, and treated himself and a young companion to chicken. And several times since he came with one or two others and always stood treat.

Accordingly she returned, panting and indignant, exclaiming with many variations as she came: The mean, dirty, young rascals to steal the bread that belongs to my poor children!" It was now that a policeman reached the corner, and, on hearing the woman's story, looked wisely down the dark side street and vouchsafed her this crumb of comfort: Bad 'cess to thim! Why the divil didn't ye shoot afther thim wid yer gun, Mrs. Mack?"

The excitement drew to the spot a belated reporter for The Tuibune, who was soon furnished with particulars of the deed of plunder Just set forth. Finding the little woman both chatty and inteliisent he also learned much about sandwich cars that may interest those virtuous citizens who are wont to abide in their homes after nightfall. Like many other curious and useful institutions the sandwich car first made its appearance in Chicago in World's Fair year." Briefly described it is a kitchen and restaurant on wheels, much in the form of an elongated carette, but having a larger window space on all four sides. It is drawn by a single horse to the spot where it stands for the night, usually to some saloon corner near what is termed a sporting neighborhood," and there it may be found winter and summer, fair weather or stormy, until about 5 o'clock in the morning. In fact, the sandwich man pays a tax of $3 monthly to the saloonist for this privilege, although there is no city tax or license fee on the business and no "other formality in starting it save a gracious permission from the Captain of the police precinct.

On this basis may now be counted about a score of sandwich cars located at the intersections of State, Madison, Clark, and Hariisoii streets and Archer, Milwaukee, Cottage Grove, and Blue Island avenues. The cars are painted all over white, the panels below the glazed portion usually being inscribed Lunch Car and in some cases with the bill of fare that is offered to the children of night." Within the car, ordinarily, is a three-burner gasoline range, a steaming closet, recesses for dish washing, and kitchen appliances and an arrangement of shelves for displaying the most tempting edibles to the gaze of the passer-by. The whole is lighted with kerosene lamps, and sometimes a gasoline torch, giving to the stationary vehicle a festive, circus-like aspect and inevitably winning the attention of the hungry and the curious who may-chance along the sidewalk.

Like the hare of cookery-book celebrity, the irate father wiil first have to catch the leg before he can attach the string to it, and it is extremeiy probable that he wiil discover that a young woman with such an overpowering fondness for her bed will iind means to outwit both The Carmen Kiss.

They allow constipation to grow into indigestion, heartburr, dizziness, headache, insomnia, and nundred other distressing conditions. They do this frequently because they do not know the cause of their trouble. It is a pretty safe rule to look for the source of o-iotha of human sickness in this one simple and appallingly prevalent trouble.

Another foolish thing that smart people do 19 to take some alleged remedy for constipation and keep on taking it, day after day, month after month and year after year. Perhaps it is better to take the medicine than not to Like it at all, but of course if they stop taking it, their trouble wiJ-come back.

They should be larger about the hips and closer fitting at the knees. I can't say that I especially object to bloomers If they are made as they should be. For long runs a sweater is proper, and some of the women's sweaters as now made are very neat looking. I don't like leggins." Wants Drop Frame and Skirts. This Is the opinion of A.

T. Ileywood, starter of the Chicago road race: I most oecidedly favor the wearing of the skirt and leggins. Above all things let a woman clress modestly, so as to avoid comment. The skirt should be just short enough to miss the chain, so the wheel may be ridden without a chain guard. A woman should wear a Jacket, and it should be long enough to reach to the saddle.

She should also ride a drop-frame with twenty-six-inch wheels. Skirts. Jackets, Hot Sweaters. C. P.

Root thinks the most becoming dress for a wheelwoman Is a skirt with leggins or rtocklngs to match. If she wants to wear bloomers, and knows how to wear why let her wear them. That's her own af-lair. I don't pretend to be connoisseur jrn woman's attire." he says, but I think I know when they look neat and when they don't. I see the wearing of Scotch stockings by wheelwomen is becoming popular.

The stockings should, however, be of lighter weight, especially In the feet. "A medium length jacket, one cut so as riot to show the waist line, should be worn. Above all. I like to see a woman attired In a. manner distinctively feminine.

There is no necessity for her trying to look like a man. When bloomers and a short skirt are worn the skirt might be taken off and strapped to the handle-bar when riding in the country, to be put on again when the city Is reached. I can't say that I like to see a women wear a sweater without a Jacket, One thing I am glad to see, and that is wheelwomen dress more neatly and tastily this year than they did last. There was certainly room for improvement. I believe them capable of working out their own salvation in the matter of dress.

Some of them have not yet learned, however, that long skirts and tight corsets are decidedly out of place on a whseU." Another Enemy to Bloomers. Fred Tilt, a member of the Lincoln Cycling club, thinks bloomers as at rresent worn are in most cases thoroughly unsightly. Some look very well, hile most of them look He favors the wearing of a skirt of medium length, short enough to clear the pedals and sprocket. Doesn't Know Where He Is At.

This year3 peach crop is now advanced sufficiently to enable a fairly reliable estimate to be made as to both quality and quantity. The yield per acre will be little if any more than half that of last year, but the total quantity of fruit, by reason of young trees coming into bearing, will probably be within 15 or 20 per cent of the great crop of 18U5.

Any loss in quantity will be more than compensated for by the higher quality. The adoption of a systematic plan for handling the fruit will add largely to the profits of the grower, and it is, therefore, safe to predict that Georgia fruit growers will find this season by long odds the most satisfactory from a money standpoint of any In the history of peach growing in the State.
