'How very kind of you to come and see me, she said in her sweetest voice, 'and these lovely flowers! They quite brighten one up. 'I'm glad you think they're all right, said Raggett in a low voice. 'They're beautiful. Fancy your plucking them all yourself! Where did you find these lovely lilies growing? I always fancied they were hot-house plants. 'Oh, I was bicycling, Raggett said.
"A telegram!" she exclaimed, in wonder. "Please come in and wait. Isn't it very bad?" "I hope I'll be able to get back!" laughed the young man who had brought it. "The roads are drifting up fast. It was noa good bicycling. I got 'em to gie me a horse. I've just put him in your stable, miss." But Mary heard nothing of what he was saying. She had rushed back into the sitting-room. "Mother!
"You really are the most wonderful person," she declared, poking at her little dog with the end of her fluffy parasol. "You make me feel as though I were something quite important, and you know I am really a very unformed, very unintelligent young person. That is what my last governess said."

Passing to lighter subjects, Dutch girls are now breaking loose from the stiffness and espionage in which their mothers were brought up, and this is without doubt in a large measure due to the introduction of sport. Tennis, hockey, golf, and more especially bicycling have conferred, by the force of circumstances, a freedom which strength of argument, entreaty, and tears failed to effect.

The worry of their excursions was that each time they returned to Montmartre they had to push their machines up the height. From the general point of view, however, the young woman was delighted with bicycling, which had many virtues, said she.
My arrival at a broad, well-travelled high-way at once convinces me that I have again been unwittingly wandering among the comparatively untravelled by-ways as the result of following the kindly meant advice of people whose knowledge of bicycling requirements is of the slimmest nature.
