Boston Women as Pedestrians,

Il The Boston woman is in need of a walking
Teacher. She has now about every sort of an
! Instructor save in this matter of gait and car
Tiage, and there she is singularly deficient.
Strange as it may seem to the dear creatures
who have turned their toes out in a dancing
class from the age of 4 till they were old
enough to graduate as rosebuds in society,
mot one of them knows how to walk, OBJ
serve, if you please, the sloppy, hippity hop,
the waddle and the bounce which character
:, ize the gait of young women of the present
day, and tell me if there is the least excuse
for it High heels, tight clothes, tied in
sk1rtss Perhaps; but even with these femi-
nine disadvantages the graceful, free limbed
goddess of society ought to be able to get
: over the ground with ease and dignity. That
she does not is obvious to every student of
woman's winning ways.
We have seen, once at least the most of U.S.
our ideal in this regard, and, having seen,
will simply wonder why on earth her sisters
do notsimitate her noble movements and get
the kinks out Of their legs or add little
spring to their feet. If dancing lessons do
not lend grace to the department they fail in
their intention; but the dancing master, after
having taught the figures of the german,
how to reverse in the waltz and given the
pupil a pas known for three generations as
"Papanti's, !" considers his or her duty is full
filled. Thenatural gait, the real ''step," has
not been given a thought, and so mademoi-
lselle runs out her chin, carries one shoulder
higher than the other, and comes down on
her heels with a stride or mincing walk
which is fatal to ''style" Who tells her
what she is doinga Apparently no one, be-
cause there are SO few girls who know how
to walk. The stage is supposed to be an ex-
cellent school for pedal instruction, and the
s'devitalizing" of the Delsarte method is be-
lieved to saturate a disciple with grace. But
a sstage walk" in the street is simply dre@gss,,
full and the tragedy queen prance asssss .au,

"A Frontier Beauty on the Back Of q
i Bronco-A Greas Surprise.
The lar of heavy feet was heard. Some
Young horses came down steep hill at full
run. Behind was reckless, rapid rider.
The loose stock dashed past. The horse that
bore the rider was tossing his head madly
and singing white foam in flakes from his
mouth. He was a rearing, restless, heavy
built, regulation bronco, but it was remarked
that he was well under control, for he seemed
to be fairly lifted from side to side by the
reins at the will Of the rider, who drew up
ito our resting place. We stared in way
that was not mannerly, even in the wilds of
Oregon. The rider of the restless pony was
a young girl She waited with embarrass-
ment for us to tell our errand.
"Who lives here's" we asked.
ST do" she replied, in tone that did not
make us feel any more at home
"Whose garden is thisw was the next ques-
tion.
ssMine.n
T After pause she added: scan do any,
thing for you, gentlemenw
swell, well, no." was about the only intel
Ngible answer at command.
i,"Win you come to the housea" she added;
sit is near dinner time"
As she rode before we looked upon grace
full rider, well rounded, neat figure, bru-
nette with the languid beauty SO much adj
mired in the Castilian women, clad in coarse,
strong, short SKIRTS below which showed a
small boot and a keen, bright spur. Her
rich saddle was new and strong and double
rugged Her horse had not stopped at the
gate till she sprang to the ground. My COM
panion stepped forward with Chesterfield
bow, but too late to assist her. She asked us
ito go the house while she led her horse to
the stable. When we were within a rod of
the door we both started with surprise. A
repulsive, sullen, scowling Indian was at
each window. We were greatly surprised to
learn that our hostess was half breed. In
her features or actions we had observed not
one trace of the Indian. Her demeanor was
modest, while at the same time she was fully
islbued with that western iberality that
allows no man to pass without an invitation
to partake of a meal or nights lodging. We
bade her good-by reluctantly, and continued
our hunt, thinking how much more appro-
pirate such grace and such wealth would be
I'm the circles of society than on the back of

AMUSEM MENTS.
THE MCGIBENr FAMILY.

The British Whig of Kingston, Ont,
has the following to say of this family,
which is to appear at the town hall on
the evening of Dec IS:
Did you hear the McGibeny family last
night at the opera house? If not, you
certainly missed one of the brightest and
best concerts ever given in Kingston.
There was not stupid selection on the
programme. From first to last it was
full of merit. Miss Viola and Mrs. Hugh
are very charming cornetists and Master
Dockie was warmly applauded in his
clarinet solo. But it took the work
of the smaller children to keep up one
continual roar of laughter by the fun
they made in their kindergarten selec-
tions. The male and lady quartettes
were excellent. Hugh, in his violin solo
work, showed him to be a viOlinist of
front rank, and was recalled. Miss Al
ices readings are very choice, and her
voice is pleasant to hear. Fred in his
trombone solo did very cleverly, and as a
whole they are very remarkable. Wheth-
er in band, or orchestral, or vocal selec-
tions. they seem perfectly at home, and
dress richly on the stage, making a hand
some appearance. They have beaulilu
palace car in which they travel. 1t il
finely fitted up as home.
