SOMMENT. AND GOSSIP; AMONG,
THE~i,WOMEN. BYONE
OF THEM.

“ma...—

Last week there were reported three
or four arrests for riding bicycles on
the sidewalks. Perhaps this order of
things was a little sudden but it won
have had to come later on in the sea-
son and I think the sooner the better.

The law is enforced. This is as it
should be for‘ there is no greater dan-
ger'to life or limb than the bicycle.
Many have sufi’ered death as the result
of‘flagrant carelessness of the bicycle
rider.

Iullzilildren are prone to violate the
law fully as much, if not more than
their elders, but of course this is to be

expected especially when they pattern ,-

after the latter to a certain extent.
Parentsshould warn their children

of thelamandsee that they obey it,

otherwrse they will suffer the conse-

- quences.

There are many riders on West ave-
nue who make it a point to ride along ,
onthe wrong side of the road. They
seem to think‘that the best parts of the

road were made- especially for their

accbmmodation, and they have the'

‘ter‘nerith‘ to rush along literally push~
_ lug? vouyofl’ the path to avoid a colli-

sion. _ This bold assurance is tantaliz- .

ingin'the extreme and these "‘road

porcines,” for that is the mildest form.
onet- can apply to them, should be

:-.t-aught a lesson whether man orwoman.

Inthis case “A ll is fair in love or
war.” and no distinction in sex should
be made; there is but one right in the
matter and. everything contrary to it is
pronouncedly "‘wrong.” Those who
desire the‘right will war against the
wrong and devise some means to ObVi-‘
ate the existing evil. ' ’

One way which I think would be ef- I
fectual after two or three appliances
would be to alight from your wheel,
when you see one of these individuals
coming, with a dash toward you with
no intention of deviating, and stand on
the, path in front of them. This will
force them either to jump off or turn
out with a jerk. Because there is a
trolley track through a street it does
not make. two roads; there is but one
right and one left side and these Offen-
ders will have to learn this, if not by
their own common sense Of what is
right then by some one else’s.

Many of these said Offenders are
known to the bicycle community and
perhaps after a few doses of the, above
remedy they will learn to ride 0n the
right side of the street.

Feminine Chat.

 

Comfort rarely comes at the time
when you need it most.

'Grass is growing'almost while you
look at it these days. ' .

The rain habit seems to be one the
weather man finds hard to break.

The woman who has a mother pos-
sesses earth’s greatest treasure.

The darkened room is artistic, but it
is also, as a rule, very dusty.

Some of us discover that friendship
and diplomacy are synonymous.

How few persons are frank enough to
say boldly: “I cannot afford it.”

A place never seems so far off as
when you want to get there on the
instant. .

A rainy Sunday furnishes food for
reflection and a few worms for the
robins.

There is no mere dangerous posses-
sion for a woman than an impulsive
disposition.

Dogwood blossoms are being used to
a great extent as the decoration for
luncheon tables.

True friendship is ofttimes tested to
a limit that leaves its mark on the
heart and brain of the one tried.

The truly domestic woman finds- just

i

THEEv-ENING G‘AZETT'E' . .

a little slice Of heaven on earth concen-
trated in a home in the country“

The barber and the manicure some-
times occupy the position of father
confessor, the same as the family physi-
cian.

To behold a picture of absolute mis-
ery watch the woman who is trying to
conceal the nickel that the conductor
overlooked. '

Why is it a woman generally looks
angry rather than grateful when some
one tells her that her gown is. gaping
at the back ‘?

We are so little prepared for death
ourselves that it naturally follows we
are never ready for it when it means
donning mourning at a moment’s no-
tice.

When your servants begin to show

a desire to save your money rather
than to spend' it, you can rest assured
they are getting sincerely attached to
you.
- Is there anything more trying to a
hospitable soul than to haveto refrain
from giving the expected invitation
just because the cook is on the ram-
page ‘?

The boarding house keeper who can
refrain from saying ugly things about
the individuals who give up ' their
rooms when they were expected to re-
main is first cousin to an angel.

Until the prop on which you lean is
suddenly taken away from you, you
never know how absolutely dependent
you are.

When a woman gets to the point
where she regards matrimony as mere—
1y a step to further her material com-
fort, she has reached an enviable point,
for she will not be likely to be troubled
with heartache.
