Women in Male Attire.

Paris Letter to Chicago journal.
There is only one lady in France who
rides her horse like a gentleman. That
is Nine. Dieulafoy, the Persian arch8-
ologist. and who has just brought out an
Oriental novel. She dresses in any case
like a man, necessity forced on her
when occupied with her husband in
Eastern excavations. Rosa Bonheur
also wore male attire. but this was to
save her from observation when she at
tended, for years, the horse fairs to
take sketches. George Sand was the
only lady who rode and dressed like
man for the sole object of pose. 1t is
remarked that they are the daughters of
military officers in France who are the
best skilled in holsemanship. How
ever, no French lady is able to follow
the hounds or take a fence like ''Baby
Blake" of Lever memory.

+ The CITY council committee reported
that the original eight-hOur resolution

AT the request of the labor aldermen,
| the resolution was withdrawn asking
/ that the city council make Labor day

thought the sense of the council should
be tested on this question, but, on the

own steam yachts have them
in commission, and many use them
every day in travelling to and from their
suburban homes On the seashOre or on

the plebeian railway, while still
others go to Europe at the
first approach of humidity and
stay away until the frost comes back
again. A few don't go away at all;
some because they have too much buSl-

counted OH the fingers of one hand this
summer and are outnumbered by the
latter in the ratio of fifty to one.

way, he has expended a good many
thousands of dollars in the way of i'm
