Here is a cutting from the "Sports Colaian” of a newspaper, describing the condition of un eighteen-year-old girl cyclist at the finish of a record scorch which made her the envy of all With fest so swollen that athletic women. they had to be ulinost prised frota the podals, with fingers stiffened so that they had to be unclasped from the handlebars, pasty-faced and covered with mind, Miss --- was far from a plenaut pictars to look upon at the close of the run " Again we read at a somewhat ouriler stage of | the proceedings, "Her eyes are unk far back in her head, her tongue in kwollen to twice its size, her hands and foot are shapeless bundles of aching psaves; and in the bony, curvelaa figure that is lifted from the wheel at intervals there is no sign to indicate that the record.rider is a woman." Apparently the spectacle was. unpleasing to the maltitude, for further on we learn that he was naturally olated over har success, and allowed herself to be made the star attraction of the celebration which followed. She was not allowed to sleep immediately after the cuoclusion of her long run, but savezal
glasses of milk and whisky were given to her."
Further back in history-some fifteen, yours ago-many women fell victime to the sisthytic craze. It is a far cry from mathution to athis. ties; from the trailing garments and lilies of the willowy school to short rationals and a can. vas bag of golf club. But woman has accom. plished the fest with her umal thoroughness. Girls, who a few years ago, would have been training up to a Burns Jones leal, now don short shirts, take up their stout hockey sticks, and challenge a stalwart company of young man and maidens to muscalar combat.
For a season it was a fashion among women to go in for politics, to make record respinge in the Primrose field, and wie with one anothor to recruit the folds of the Women's Liberal Asso- ciation. Then somebody invented the golfersis sod the hockeyes-perhaps at an antidote to politics ambitions. For many years past wat- door sports have absorbed women's suffrages,” and demands for a place at the polling booth. In fact, athletics have banished all other feni. nine pursuits and fancies into an ignominious are able to be back seat. Few among as Moderates: the tendency of our sex in tu ga to extremes.
Since the beginning of time so woman's morenent has had such an effect on home and society is the modern “movement' in favour of muscle. It has lasted longer than
shoulder. It is quite possible this epidemic of muscle may pass, or mitigate, as influenes has passed er zuitigated. But if it has come to stay it will have to bo put on the list of latter-day diseases. Many modern" up-to-date" girs are trained as though they wore destined to become professional stuletes. And it will soon be time to arrange a soloma requíein or an "In mom-any ather popular crase, and seems to lave erim" service for those delightful maidens taken deep root in all sorts and conditions of known an old fashionod "mother's girls."
The type is rapidly becoming extinct; "de- fupot as the dodo," as one pessimistic old bachelor put it. Here and there a charming specimen of thur type crops up. And the man who murries one of her kind has usually enough souse to know that he has drawn a Kob-i-noor in the merringe lottery.
