THE a1FURCATED RIDING SKIRTS.

ESQUIRE and lady, lad and lass
All read the words Keep off the grass"
AS through the park the maiden spurred
Her steed and waved the hammered word
"Bifurcated."
The people paused to closely scan
The one who rode 'just like man.,
Her wildly prancing steed bestrlde,
A part of her on either side,
Bifurcated.
She gave sad back-numbereu Smile
To those who rode jug-handled style
And thought "a woman is Ounce
Who doesn't ride both sides at once
Bifurcated."
"Hold on u an old man wildly yelled,
Who thought her steed could not be held,
"I'll hold your horse till on one side
You seat yourself" The maid replied:
Bifurcated.
oh stay !" park policeman said,
Who had not of the new fad read,
"Pll help you seat yourself Alright"
The maiden galloped out of sight
Bifurcated.
Thus she'll go and henceforth rob
The old side.saddle of its job.
Since she her new-found right asserts
To ride her steed bestride with skirts
Bifurcated.

PRECEPT AND PRACTICE.


She stood on the high school platform
In her sweet white muslin dress,
From her essay q ribbon fiuttered,
And 1t dealt with Happiness.
SIT is what we do for Others"
She said, "that must bring us bliss;
The highest delight the selfish
Can never fail to miss"
"Just in giving there is gaining;
He who stops to count.the cost
Looses all the good he might get
If the thought of self were lost"
And her mother heard the essay.
But her thoughts seemed bound to roam
From the subject, and sheSpondered,
For she'd seen the girl at home.

BATHING SUITS.

White, crimson, maroon or dark blue are
the favorite colors for bathing suits and the
materials most used are flannel, stiff serge
or jersey webbing. Stripes give an effeo
tive combination to plain material and are
seen usually in either skirt or blouse waist.
Plain goods are trimmed with braid of con-
trasting color, or collars and cuffs in contrast
give good finish, while embroidery is, of
course, more dressy. Handsome suits are
of silk with box plated waist, and here some
effective contrasts are introduced, as for
example, black with yellow, red with black
or the regulation red, white and blue, en-
broidery and gimps adding their attractions.
Long stockings with cork soles are still pop.
ular, and skirts are long or short to fancy.

COMBINATION COSTUMES

in every department of dress are more than
ever a feature, and so far from losing in
prestige by familiar usage. appear to gain
all the time. The putting together of ma
terials most opposed in character and colors,
formerly thought antagonistic, has given
great impetus TO combination dresses and
the advantage of the above in family of
daughters is obvious at glance. Many
hardly earned dollar is thus saved while it
is well known that the wealthy often look
more closely to the expenditure CT small
sums than their impocunious neighbors. In
this connection it may be well to allude to
the growing popularity of Milward's Calyx
eyed needles, since thereby the precious gift
of eye.sight is saved from injury on the part
of those to whom it is yet vouchsafed,
while elderly ladies find their labo1s inesti-
mably lightened by this most valuable i'm
provement. The thread is simply passed
through slit above the eye and compared
with the old fashioned method is truly an
advance in invention. In

full quarter Of an hour before we got back
to the mar, a monk OF Mount Athos, who
had thrown himself over. but found sober
ing effect in the fresh, cold water, for he
was keeping himself afloat with little effort
and was in no sort of Immediate danger. A
boat was lowered to pick him up. and 1t
might have been thought that nothing more
was needed in the case than to bring him
In and get him out Of his wet clothes,
which operation, by the way, was pub
licly performed when they got him on deck.
But as the boat brought him alongsfe
l saw that he had been placed with
his head in the bottom of it, and his heels
hanging over the side. TWAS the orthodox
thing to do, so supposed, and carried out

evidently was, natural instinct must have

form of marriage was the primitive method
of ma riage by capture. The fond lover
would watch his opportunity, and dash
boldly up to the place where the object Of
his hearts desire was engaged at her work.
SP1 inEing from his horse, he would knock
her senseless, and throwing the inanmate
body across the shoulders of his steed in
front Of him, gallop away with his prize to
his home. Another form was the race for
a wife, on which occasion the prospective
bride mounted the fieetest horse owned by
the tribe and dashed out over the plain
pursued by the young men who were eager
TO secure her. As a matter of course,
amid the throng of pursuers there would
be one for whom she had preference, and
she would always manage TO be captured by
her fayorite. Still another was the exchange
of horses or other stock for the coveted
prize. In these rude marriages no cere-
niony was performed, possession having
been the only thing necessary.
The New York Sun. in an interesting and
graphic description of the ceremonials in
connection with the consummation of the
domestic relation, has reproduced striking
scenes from some of the more prominent ex-
amples of eminent artists, and which are
here given in THE CALL as illustrative of
the events described:
At period when men began to live in
cities and to associate more intimately with
one another, marriage was contaminated by
purchase. In Babylon, upon certain day
in each year, every manageable girl was
taken to the marriage mart to be exposed
for sale. The handsome ones were pnr-

THE IRON DUKE.

The Manner He Provided for q Toad for
Little Boy at School.
LIE Petit Caporal was worshiped and
feared, but men loved and adored the Iron
Duke. Of the former how few are the
kindly human traits recorded, while of the
other, to this day fresh proofs keep coming
to the light of simple sweetness dwelling
long in the minds Of men. The following
anecdote concerning letter lately exhumed
by the editor of Short Cuts may serve as
one instance out Of y thousand illustrating
the sympathetic nature of the great COM
mander. The letter, SO far as my memory
serves, was in some such terms as these:
''Field Marshal the Duke Of Wellington
begs to inform William Harris that his toad
is alive and we'll.
1t seems that the Duke, in the course Of
country stroll, had come upon a little boy
weeping bitterly over toad. A strange
trio they must have been-the lean, keen
eyed old soldier, the flushed, sebbing boy.
and, between them, the wrinkled reptile
squirting, with fearless eyes and throbbing
sides. The boy wept because he was going
to school next day; he had come daily to
feed his toad; the little heart was racked
with grief because he feared his darling
would be neglected when he was gone, and
might starve. The Dukes heart was as soft
as the boys, for he undertook to see that
the toad was looked after, and the letter
bove quoted is one Of the subsequent bull
