She gets up in the morning at five o'clock
and walks four miles before breakfast, all
alone. After breakfast she puts on a
brown linen suit, a:d goes down to the
beach to battle in boomer costume. She
is the best swimmer Of her sex, so far;
paddles, floats, treads water. swims back
ward, and scares the bathing master by
going way out whore the sharks are.
After the bath she puts on blue dress,
and plays Billiards for two hours, to the as;
constituent of the billiard marker, who
swears he never saw the like. Then she
puts on gorgeous silk for dinner, and
after dinner she goes out driving, and
the way she handles the ribbons is eau
ton to Grant. In the evening she puts
on a satin dress with a long train and all
befur-5 beloved with red velvet and yellow
lace, and goes to some hotel whore there
is hop; and hero she comes out even
stronger than in bath, billiards, or bowling
along the avenue. At eleven o'clock she
comes home, puts on a suit Of brown me-
rino, and writes woman's rights till bod
time.
