Women Who Drive Horses.

ANY man who knows horses knows that
it is a job for muscular and clear headed
man to control spirited animal in har-
ness. Even fair quality of livery stable
trotter viii give his driver stout work in
an afternoon drive, and if he gets scared
and takes the bit between his teeth he
viii make ugly work of it, Yet in this
city, and in the fashionable watering
places, you viii see women calmly perched
on the box seat and handling the ribbons
over animals which they could no more
direct or restrain, If the animals did not
wish it, than they could make the tides
halt or the sun stand still.
Whenever old Commodore Vanderbilt,
who could handle the widest horses with
hands Of steel, was out behind his cracks,
and saw woman driving toward him On
the road. he used to draw out and give
her plenty Of room. There's not room
for Us two ont here" he used to say, and
most horseuen would have agreed with
him. You can create panic on the
Harlem lane any day by sending woman
out to drive among the horseuen- Ioften
stroll in the park, and it seems to me-
that / never do SO without witnessing
some furry in the drive-a difference Of
opinion between driving woman and her
horse that results in either a1 accident or
narrow escape. There are plenty of
horses which women can drive safely, but
these no woman with any pretensions to
style wants to drive. The family horse
has gone out of fashion with the jog trot.
Society now wants TO travel at g. high
step and full speed The girl fresh from
school requires Galway wall topper har

The Diamond Dealers Methods.

Jacob Dreicer, the diamond dealer who
made the sensational sale Of jewelry TO
George Laws friends, the sloggers, Is q

and amiable and flexible as a maiden, but

his business There Is more looking az
diamonds than buying them" he says
That IS true Of every place IL the world.
II | could charge cents q look from all
who come here | would soon be rich with
out selling a stone" As it is, the shrevd
fellow says he is merely paying his rent
and his fare back to New York 1T is
queer business, he says. People think
a man buys diamonds when he has made
little extra money. 1t takes more than
that, tell you He buys diamonds only
when he feels good Ii q man feels just
right, diamonds seem just the thing 70
invest in for himself and his wife. If he
didn't feel good they might as well be so
many bricks. Suppose man made pot
of money, and got up with q headache. or
his wife made him cross by refusing him
something-he has no use for diamonds
then The littlest thing that crosses a
