: NEW YORK, Nov. 29-All the girls went
to the horse show in New York. It was
, really the place Of places to go and take
, your best boy in his best dress salt. The
immense Madison Square Garden for two
or three stories up was hned with boxes,
where sat some of the SWEETEST, niftiest,
most exclusive people in ali this world.
Seward Webb aud family were always to
be seen in one of the front rows watching
the champions as breathlesely as if the
money they had at stake upon them would,
il lost, drive the family to starvation or
Europe or some dreadful plaza.
1t was amusing 70 see Elliot Shepard keep
an eye upon his watch on the last evening of
the show. ROSeberry was to jump to beat
the record. But by some delay, such as
always happens in one way and another, tue
champion as not brought forth until much
later than advertised. And when he did
walk out into the ring, blinking through
the peep holes in his blanket, the Water
burys were all pointing TO II o'clock. Then,
between RosebeIry and Ontario, began ono
of the most exciting contests that was ever
recorded, and at IL midnight the fun was
still at its hight.
Col. Shepard had been an enrapturad
plain TO see that death would be about as
welcome as for him to be torn from the
scene. For a second or two the brave
colonel battled between his love of sport
and his conscience, but conscience came out
ahead, and he hurried away just as the
bells went tolling for II, to console his mind
and enilven his spirits by looking up texts
to head the editorial columns of his paper
next week.
One of the big New York papers has of
fered prizs of 800 to The woman who

scription Of a model husband. 1t is interest,"
ing to note the replies One woman thinks he
is husband VINO never takes a night 'off, -
another says her ideal man is one that gives
her fun control of the purse strings, a third
says she likes husband tnat goes his way
and gives her full permission to 60 hers, but
most unique Of all is the letter from dear.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher grows more
beautiful as advancing years and grow
She sits in a beautiful bay window sur
rounded by birds and flowers, and dreams
of the days when she and Henry were
struggling along in a little western village,
trying to keep the pot boiling and the SER
mons written. But those were long-ago
daysl Now, though in comparative pow
ertv, Mrs. Beecher has enough business
engagements to keep her from actual want
and If she could fulfill one-half the orders
that come TO her she would be a rich woman.
Every publishing firm in the country has
asked her 60 write the life Of her dead hus-
band, but, owing to her poor health. she
has refused them ali.
Women are very funny when they

election of q certain club in New York city,
that we will call for the sake of Appearances
the Squeeze Club, certain old veteran of a
woman worker an for president. She has
long since outlived her usefulness as a
professio AL woman, aud is becoming more
aud more embittered as she sees others
rising to fill her place. She has, in conse-
quence of her sharp speeches, made many
enemies, and, when it came the night Of The
election, they determined TO Dust her. But
she refused 10 be downed She snivelled
she wept, she all but implored the members
to vote for her, and, in this way, she Sc

Who shall say what is the Golden Age Of
a woman's lifes Is it sweet 16, gay 90 mel
low %, or easy-g0ing, calculating 30! The
girl who has learned TO take things easy by
lying IN bed mornings, slipping coffee leis-
ureiy and, on the sly, putting away at a
cigarette, has reached the Golden Age of
her existence, however old SIZE may be in
real years. "a man is as old as he feels.
And woman is as old as she looks" is a
maxim that no one disputes. So, surely, if
a woman is sensible enough to appear at
ease and idle away the morning hours en-
Joylng herself at doing nothing, she may DO

Miss Grace Dodge, ex-school commissioner
and working girls friend, dresses always in
brown in the street. In winter her attire
is brown tailor-made gown, short sealskln
wrap and little brown bonnet with Quaker
strings. Her fresh, young face, that cannot
bear more than the $50 line marK.n seems
in striking aad pretty contrast to the
occurrences OF the rig. Miss d dye keeps u
private secretary to transact her literary
business, such as writing letters, keeping
records and replying to numerous invitations
to write for leading periodicals..

wrinkles, and we all know these give an
impress of age. A long furrow for every

Ok chain bracelets are the newest things
that society girls have chosen by which to
announce that they are fettered to bold
laddie. The chain bracelets are, literally,
OK chains, being strong enough to hold one
of these animals in allegiance. They can be
made in gold. if one so desire, but the most
approved ones are of silver. A very elegant
affair of this kind came from Lyons where
the cunning smiths fashioned it of four
shades of iron. grading from iron of a
bright, FURNISHED hue to deeply, darkly,
beautifully black. Gold won't hold fair
misses any longer; she must have iron
chains. All which goes to show that women
are to be held in still deeper bondage than
they have ever known.
