Ttc6Wheeler Feminine Fashion Changes Through Years Claimed Credit to Bicycle Age By MAXINE BUREN Statesman Woman's Editor The bicycle industry, like some nations we could name. Is taking the credit for a lot these days. The bicycle makers are claiming responsibility for freedom of women's dress, in this, their Diamond Jubilee Year. In 1877, we will concede, it was .a man's world and the place for nice women was definitely at home. The weaker type of lady was fashionable, and a swoon now and then was an indication only of the more desirable weakness of the sex. Plenty of petti coat! and other unseen and unmentionable clothing was consid ered necessary to a woman's modesty. j .Imagine riding a bike with a bustle. ' HERE SHE COMES Mrs. Amelia Bloomer invented the garment of the same name in 1849 in plenty of time for bicycling but the homebody type of girl still wore her crinolines and her petticoats, leaving Mrs. Bloomer's so-called "Camilla" to the Bombastic Mrs. Bloomer and her freedom loving followers. Even into the 90s, though cycling had become the rage among men, ladies who dared not show an ankle simply did not indulge . in the fascinating craze. As soon as the feminine public came to the place where bicycling was no longer a shameful sport, there was naturally a new fashion created to be worn. At the very first a sort of bloomer-like affair was worn, with stockings and high boots, but this soon gave way to the more divided skirt. OUT IN THE OPEN The cycling industry also claims credit for a general emani cipation Of women. On Sundays and holidays women cyclists join ed the men in the parks and country lanes, and it is here, they say, that she tasted her first freedom. , The short waist, a garment thought by some to be shameful, was 'popularized by Charles Dana Gibson in his famous "Gibson Girls" and skirts even skyrocketed soon to four inches above the floor! No wonder more than one lawmaker threatened to pass laws forbidding this scandalous fashion. - : . The rising fortunes of the fashion designer came after the " turn of the century, for women took kindly to change in styles. Fashion, and women, forgot about bicycles for a few years going separate ways until gasoline rationing brought a new cycle age. Then came the pedal-pusher, a much more abbreviated fash ion than grandma dared dream. Midriffs were bared, backs un- covered. Now, we wonder, if the world gets into conflict again, and Mama's old bicycle is again de-mo thed, what will daughter's cos tume be. Certainly no more abbreviated but at least another threat against a war.
