Oriental and Altogether Novel Appearance to Our OutDoor Scenes S c New York March 27Time bicycle built for two is to go the way of all l things that havo had their day A charming device is to lake its place this season known as the bicycle rickshaw I rick-shaw Thorickshnw attached I to an ordinary Jjleyclo by means of a strong steel ice and can he adjusted in a few minutes 1 has pneumatic tires and rides as smoothly a a bicycle The occupant has merely to sit still and allow her husband brother or sweetheart sweet-heart to propel the blcyclei and with It the rickshaw The weight rtf the rickshaw is only twentyeight pounds and with the easy movement of LIt light pneumatic tired wheels It requires very little extra ex-tra exertion on the parlor the cyclist to carry it wltji him The sight of these graceful little conveyances skimming along the l bicycle road and park ride ways will be a ipost enchanting one They possess so many advantages over the tandem bicycle that they are sure to supersede these almost entirely In life tlrut place the spectacle of a woman riding a tandem has never been i one of which the average citizen approved i ap-proved I has been almost Impossible to avoid the suggestion of lo dne sIn s-In the attitude of the woman rider of a bicycle built for two Then again there has always been a doubt about the comfort and sociability of this style of wheel Conversation was next to an Impossibility except with the accompaniment accom-paniment of mutual stretching of necks that wits disagreeable and often dangerous dan-gerous for the ste isinan has his work cut out to avoid obstacles wIthout trying try-Ing to carryon 0 social conversation with the occupant of the rear saddle The nuestlon afl to who was doing the work usually cut In to disturb the harmony of the occasion In the event I of husband and wife being the tandem riders When the muscles began to trend I tre-nd the I whei l to drag the mutual accusations ac-cusations of You re not exerting your II I I self at all were sure to be the prelude to a more or less acrimonious debate that marred Ihe enjoyment of the outing out-ing Then the tandem was lays the direct opponent to social Intercourse I with friends on the t road It required I too great an effort to start the tandem foi tho riders to dismount and engage in friendly converse when an acquaintance acquaint-ance hailed them The two were compelled com-pelled to keep on their road the rear lidcr having an uncomfortable time of it trying to stretch her neck to see where the steersman was taking her and compelled to trust blindly to the care of her escort In the matter of safe steering Many attempts have been made to obviate the objectionable features fea-tures of the tandem and still retain Its few goqd qualities The effort to do this I gavo us the twin wheels Iho I riders of n hlch were side by side I was nut I a success The wheels took up too much I room Like the Siamese twins the rIders occasionally got the notion at the same Instant to steer In different directions and wore reminded of their Inability to do so by the wheels balking balk-Ing An accident to one involved both In general ruin and the slender advantage I ad-vantage of the connection of the wheels i gained without Its disadvantages by I the riders of separate bicycles pedaling side by side until circumstances compelled com-pelled one or the other to drop back I momentarily The bicycle rickshaw solves all these problems at one shot The lady In the charming little carriage cannot be accused ac-cused of falling to help the bicyclist for sho has merely to sit still and be wheeled along Instead of an unsightly I unsight-ly double wheel the rickshaw Is ono of I tho prettiest nnd most graceful conc con-c nncg ever put on

and start oft again with ease S For any one unable to ride a bicycle and unwilling to learn the bicycle rickshaw rick-shaw is simply the acme of delight for all the pleasures of a bike trip can be enjoyed to the full with time added boon of exertion not being necessary The bicycle rickshaw can he used by 1 Invalids but not for long Journeys as J the strain on the bicyclist going up hill Is rather too much and it I IK necessary for the occupant of tin rickshaw to t get out and walk on the up grades She 1 gets her reward going down the decline for this experience Is one to be remembered remem-bered always with pleasure The bicycle bicy-cle rickshaws will probably be used hyman hy-man with men servants to propel tho conveyance The sight of these occu span s-pan Is of the rickshaws
