NEW YORK. July 1S.-It is so funny I,
see Rose Cogh.sn learning TO ride horseback
man fashion. + Sc is down at Fort Hemil
ton, and is getting ready for her new play
which is to be produced il New York yer,
soon. 1t promises TO be as much Of q sue
cess as everything else that Miss Coghla
has taken hold Of, and not the smallest feat
ure will be the scene where she comes ridini
in astride horse. What is still worse thai
riding in upon the age, Miss COghlan ha
to mount upon the stage, ana get herself
into the saddle, just as If she were boy.
II is pretty down at Fort Hamilton
where Miss CogGlan Is sUmmering, and
ever 50 many of her society friends ana
newspaper acquaintance would gladly
avail themselves OF the privilege to &
down and see her Learn u mount by throw
ing one ley over the 50 idle, but VI IS
Coghlan won't permit this. Rshearsals are
conducted after dark. And 10 one but the
stable boy and the stage manager are
allowed to be present. Terrific are tle
shrieks, feminine sQueal', aud cr4es OF

But Miss CoGhIan Is Derser yer, and Mi SIS

So a triumphant aud thrilling success
is expected the first time she appears be-
hind the footlights astride OF Dobbin.
There is a hotel at Saratoga that is not

Of furnishing entertainment for It's guests.
Mrs. Alice J. White, beautiful and frag-
lie woman, a follower of the Jenness Miller
cult, is going TO give dress reform talks aud
union undergarment lectures.

Mrs. White.
mo, seldom have men in the audience,
though they might just as well come, be
cause everything is perfectly modest and
perfectly conventional. But | am afraid
my circulars scared the mon away. You
see, upon the circulars | am Dire. sed in
union undergarment, and when the men get
hold OF such circular they fancy that am
going to come walking out clad IN a thing
like that, and Of course they stay away.
Too bad, isn't it,"
1t Is odd TO notice that nearly all the sum-
mer women wear light shoes. One man
was speaking of this fact and be said that
be had noticed how universal the custom
had become.
~ like it very much" said he, at makes
o woman seem more like an angel, and sug-
gests golden stairs, angel slippers airy fairy
Lillians and the like. A woman VINO has
on pair OF black shoes seems earthly aud
feshly-just like every day flesh and blood:
but woman with light shoes, even if they
are only russets, takes on an added attract
lyeness. and becomes at once, in a mans
estimation, q creature of the air, light,
frisky, frolicsome, an incarnate sprite, 30 to
speak, Of feminine loveliness and jollity.
Above these light shoes the summer
young girl wears the fimsiest stockings
that one could possibly imagine. They are
scarcely more than a spider web of lace,
and the delicate color of her hosh peeps
through, telling man that q woman is a
lovely rose, and cream color, and not brown
and swarthy. OF course, the girl of to-day is
too sensible and too athletic 20 be suited
with anything as delicate as this during
her active hours, but when it comes even
lug and she permits herself to be dainty and
lovely for time. then she dons the delicate
shoes and web>like stockings. These dainty
shimme lag, lacey hosen, have silk soles,
and few threads Of silk running up and
down the legs TO hold the lace iu place. |
When o. the legs they appear like strips Of |
silk, alternated with lace insertion. Stock |
ing supporters are impossible with these
delicate creations, aud the summer girl |
must fasten up her lace stockings with gar
tiers that clasp around the legs.
IL is generally known that the yellow
garter, when worn by the girl OF sentiment.
is merely bluff and is not put on for use |
at all. The real work of holding up the |
stockings is done by pair of hose sup |
porters, which extend from the belt The |
yellow garter is not exactly for show, you |
know, but you see, or you don't see, that it |
is merely blufPl 1t spoils the shape of a |
womans leg TO wear garter clasped around |
1t, and 50, to keep the love garter in place,
a girl has to fasten il to her stocking with
Tiny gold safety pins. If she clasps it
nightly enough to have it stay where she
wants it, she runs risk of reforming her
self And if she clasps it loosely she is sure
to lose it, and that is very bad form. So
The safety pin solution seems to be the only
true one.
The efteminate young man and the stall
wart young woman ara seen everywhere
together. The days when girls we're
to eat, ashamed to laugh. ashamed
to walk and ashamed to wear substantial,
comfortable clothes, have entirely gone out.
Aud, in place Of them, has come an era
when young woman measures her success
ana her popularity In proportion to her
muscle and athletic qualities
Men are brutal enough now to measure
women not by regularity Of features and
pink and white compilations, but rather by
their sturdy health, stout sinews and en-
ourance. The girl who puts on a pair of
neaVy SHOES, sensible dress and a peak
cap, and announces herself ready for day
In the mountains or upon the water is the
one who stands chance of being the belle
OF the season. The lackadaisical. fimsv
willowy weak girl is nowhere. Squeezed
into tight dress, with paper soled slippers
upon her feet, she can mince along with the
elders OF the party or join the children as n
chaperone for childish romps. But young
mans favorite she is not and cannot 6e. be-

The young mans girl-the summer young
mans glrl-can climb a mountain, or she
can sail boat. She can also walk along a
rocky shore making little jumps and taking
little leaps from rock 10 rock. Skipping
along the edge of boulders, and clamberinC
up and down sleep places without any aid
but her own robust health, her common
tense and her Alpine stock.
Just why this should be. nobody knows
But it Is noticeable fact that, as the girls
have increased in Drawn and muscle. the
men have decreased, until the delicate. the
slender, the effeminate, the namhy-pamby
young man is tie rule, rather than the ex-
oeption. IL is not an uncommon thing to
zee young man upon a hotel veranda or
lpon the beach, seated under an umbrella,
ousily engaged in doing drawn work or in
initials in crewel upon scarfs and
zerchiefs. BY his side there will be young
woman with brown hands, stout arms and
rounded bust, who yawns as she gazes upon
he work of her male companion, aud de-
,lares that life is too short to do such things,
