the event has no great significance. 1t

"Riding habits differ somewhat accord
ing as they are meant for park riding, for
country wear or for the hunt. The park
habit is usually black broadcloth or mel
ton cloth. 1t may be dark blue or dark
green, but never assumes any fancy color.
The collar is usually a high standing one.
The summer habit for the country has
much more liberty allowed it. 1t may be
of any shade of tan or drab Or light brown
elastic cloth and may wear a notched col
lar open at the throat OF even a rolling
collar cut away, to show a chemisette and
scarf, or, more fanciful yet, a simulated
vest of red or buff silk. The hunting
habit is made Of the heaviest grade of
melton cloth, thick and strong, for cross
country riding, and may have q collar or
other touch of English pink which is
not pink at all but scarlet.
"The riding hat is n thing for the
park and another for out of town. Young
girls wear derbys in the park, but for
women the high silk hat is still en- reggie.
For the country, women wear derbys, but
soft, easy fitting ones, not the hard things
which are so ugly and uncomfortable upon
the head.
"Gloves ? The easier they are to the
hand the better. Most women use a buck
skin or q castor beaver, but the best rid
ing glove is a soft channels made to order
for the hand. . ,

Mr.. Seeger is also the heaviest dealer

Mr.. Seeger has made the study of il
Illuminating oils a speciality, and in this
particular he is perhaps the most thor

gratifying.

OUR CHRISTMAS OBLIGATION
Good Deeds and Good Will Have
ALWAYS Mark ed the Day.

In the Middle Ages, in England, the
obligations of Christmas were strongly
marked. The old rhymster. Tusser,
born in 1915, after living courtly life
under the shadow of the throne for
many years, says the London Queen,
became Suffolk farmer. In his dog
gerel verses, which are still quoted
under their old title of Five Hundred
Points of Good Husbandry," he said:
Let Christmas be merry and thankful within.
And feast the poor neighbors, the great and
the small.
In Poor Robins Almanac for 1854,
more than century after Thomas Tus-
ser had been merry and thankful for his
last Christmas, the same spirit of hos
pitality was enforced. Writing of
Christmas, Poor Robin says:
Now trees their leafy hats do bare,
To reverence Winters silver hair;
handsome hostess. merry host,
A pot of ale, and now toast,
Tobacco and good coal fire,
Are things this season doth require.
But before Poor Robin had issued the
lines we have extracted there had been
written poem which Leigh Hunt
rightly calls ''the finest Christmas carol
ever written by an Englishman, The
Ode or Hymn to the Nativity" which,
although composed by Milton when he

are in the city hundreds of poor people,
large percentage Of whom are women,
who are forced to ceaSeleSsly labor day
after day at compensation upon
which it is next TO impossible to sub
siSt.
A downtown pawnbroker, speaking
of this class and their miseries. related
pitiable story to a GLOBE reporter,
1T was about year and half ago, as
! remember the circumstance, he said,
"when Il pretty. modest girl, about
nineteen years of age. apparently from
the country and innocent of the wick
GdneSs of city life, came into our place
of business. With great timidity She
produced a trinket from the folds of her
dress, and asked if she could secure an
advance upon it. The article was highly
priced, perhaps a token from a departed
parent or a lover, and the girl was
greatly surprised on being informed
that we could advance only dollar.
The jewel was parted with, though,
and the needed money secured. She
was working, she said, but could hardly
make living. An increase of pay had
been promised her in a few days and
she would redeem her pledge. The
month had nearly rolled round when
she called again, but was paler and
thinner. Her wages had not been i'll
creased, but she had managed to gather
together sufficient sum
TO REDEEM HER TREASURE
During the next few months the
trinket was in our possession and re-
deemed many times, the girl on each
successive appearance looking weaker
and more diSpirited. AS is always the
ease, the keepsake was pawned once too
often; the month passed and it was still
in our safe. We kept it several weeks
longer and finally placed it in the show
case. During this time | had often
speculated upon the fate OF the poor
girl, only to have my curiosity gratitied
rather unexpectedly and to my dis
comfort. She appeared at the door one
afternoon in carriage, accompanied by
another woman, and entered the store.
She was nicely dressed and appeared no
longer in want. but her air of innocence
was wanting. and the general appear
ance and demeanor of her companion
told but too plainly the fate that had
