Bicycle Killing and the 81/,« of the Feet. •“Bicycles interfere with the shoe* business in more ways tlian one,” explained a well known rider of the silent -steed. “It is proved beyond all doubt ' that riding a wheel will in one sensotx cause the foot to grow I to J % inches * larger. Hundreds of bicycle riders have • ascertained this. With men it does not. make any difference, for, except in. very rare cases, men do not care a»i much for the size of their feet as they do for comfort. With the ladies, however, it is quite another thing. They wear bicycle shoes for riding, but find’, to their sorrow that iu a season or so* they cannot wear the size shoo that they-wore before they developed their feet. Cycling not only tends to lengthen the • foot, but also to widen it. The shoe. manufacturers, as a result, turn out-many shoes for ladies of larger sizes than formerly. It is the old story coming true iu another way. Those who* dauce must puy the tiddler. I don't know that it does a nice looking girl any harm to widen or lengthen her-boot a little, but she thinks it does.. Still, there’s uo getting away from it,, and she has to griuaud stand the consequences, or at least stand on the consequences. ”—Washington Star.
