An Accomplished Equestrienne.

Mrs. Rollin N. Squire attracted con-
siderable attention when she was in
Washington the other day. The Press
of Philadelphia describes her as above
the average height Of her sex, lorg.
wasted, slim, erect, with shoulders well
thrown back, walking with the gait Of
an Amazon, carrying her head, covered
with closely-cut, perfectly golden hair,
defiantly, and in speaking moving il
with an emphasis which keeps the grea,
diamonds in her ears quivering. A
straight, standing collar, narrow, white
tie and dickey are the only relief to q
severe black dress, strongly suggestive
Of the riding habit, which is Mrs
Squire's favorite costume, as she is ,
fearless horsewoman, with a penchsn'
for breaking in vicious animals. Mrs
Squire has read all the noted stables o
the country, and is familiar with th'
pedigree of every noted horse known tt
the turf. The most romantic part o
Squirrels life, so he says. was his mr
riage. He was the guardian of the litsl'
girl who, grown up to womanhood. be

Some OF the Stylish Suits Which Have
been introduced Recently.
For a young Lady one Of the prettiest
dresses shown is Of blue, silky texture
trimmed with cream lace. The skirt
y arranged in seven perpendicular
folds or large side plaits; each one Of
the plaits is edged with q ruffls of
cream Egyptian lace. The corsags of
the material has double row of but
tons in front and a full half vest Of lace
is above and over it. A graceful open
jacket of all-over net lace has bows Of
blue ribbon on the shoulders and the
neck and sleeves are finished with ruff.
hes of lace.
A handsome dress for matron is Of
rich faille Franchise in one of the new
shades. The lower portion of the skirt
for half yard in depth is finished
with alternating box plaits and clusters
of side plaits. The peculiar tablier
drapery shows three points, one above
the other, each deliberately decorated
with Persian embroidery in gold and
rich coloring executed in old designs
The overdrapery in back is long, full

Injurious Eject Of Turning Stock Inte
Them when Grass Il Coming Up.
Farm stock of all kinds become tired
Of dry hay and straw in the spring Of
the year. and desire to escape from the
restraints of the farm-yard, that d
likely to be wet, dirty and uncomfort-
able. Especially is this the case with
sheep. They sight the first grass that
makes its appearance and seek to reach
it. They will travel mile to get
taste of green grass in the spring.
They are likely to waste much of the
dried food that is given them at this
season of the year. Farmers are often
impatient to get their stock off their
hands as soon as there is an opportuni-
ty to engage in spring work in the field
and garden. They have become tired
of feeding animals, and have little
time to attend to their wants BY al
lowing them to 60 into the pastures
when they desire to 60 they are saved
considerable trouble. In not few
cases farmers are short of hay in
spring. They want to keep their best
hay for their warehouses, and their
cattle, sheep and young stock will not
eat that which is inferior. They have
no money to buy hay, and the roads
are in so bad condition that it is very
difficult to haul heavy loads over them.

should hesitate about doing it unless
the surface Of their grazing land ID

ed in this way will never afford goot
pasturage again. Many acres Of fin,
pasture land are almost completely
ruined by having animals turned upoI
it early in the spring. The condition
of all forage plants is greatly injuret
by being fed off very early in the sea
son. The matter stored up in the root
of grass and clover during the winte
affords the material for forming tn
first leaves in spring. These leave
are necessary to assist the plants il
