But with the riding habit 1t is differ

| ride horseback upon a side-saddle is
almost a move ty among her acquaint-
ances. If you do not believe this pro-
pose the subject to party Of women,
and one after another will mournfully
.eRret that she cannot keep her seat IN

her that she becomes cramped, and
that her side will ache for days after
the effort. And so it is that equestrian
ism for women is so uncommon that

people to turn and give her second
glance. 9,

woman as she sits on her horse. is
here anything more immooest in 1t
than there would be If she were seated
on side saddle with her skirt draw
so tightly as to reveal every line of her
figure?
German women generally ride in this
way. So do the Mexicans, the Rouman-
ians and the Austrians.
The picture here given was taken at
the last horse show in Berlin, and the
costume was worn by young Next
can lady. The bodice is made in the
usual jacket shape and the loose skirt
is divided up the front and back. 1t is
provided with buttons so that it can
be opened or closed at will.
When the rider wishes to dismount
and walk she can button up her skirt,
front and back, and it appears like an
ordinary street costume. During the
sharpest gallop it covers and drapes
her limbs, and should she mount and
dsmount ever so awkwardly the APP
pearance is decent Beneath the folds of
the skirt are wide cloth or velvet
trousers. High top boots are worn
with them and small round felt hat
or high beaver.
At the most fashionable riding
school in New York eight women were
found who signified their willingness

HE WAS A BARON
But Reverses Had Driven Him to
Driving Street Cars.

Hundreds of street-car conductors
and drivers gathered at the morgue of
the general hospital on the morning of
July 20, according to the Vienna Press,
to attend the funeral of their late
comrade, Car Driver Erwin Baron Frey
Won Schoenstein, the last male mem
Der of a very noble family.
The heavily-draped hearse, drawn
by four horses, was quite in contrast
with the simple mourners who fol-
lowed it and the costly metal casket In
which the remains rested, hidden un-
der many costly floral gifts.
When Baron Schoenstein became of
age he inherited several million forms
and big estates, which he squandered
in riotous living and speculation.
Everything gone he resigned his COM
mission as first-lieutenant in the Ora
goons. and when confronted by poverty
he did not resort to the pistol, but took
a more philosophic view of life and ac-
cepted position as supervisor of the
street railways. Once in while when
brought into contact in business way
with those who in former years were
only too glad to toady to him, the
baron became offensive to such de-
gree that at last his employers found
themselves obliged to reduce him to
the rank of car-driver.
This position he TILED with military
punctuality, and only once in while,
when he received small remittance
from some relative, did he absent him
self long enough to spend 1t.
The Barons widow and her brother
q captain in the Dragons, attended
the funeral, the expenses of which
were betrayed by well-known Ven
ma Countess. Herr Won Turban, the
director of the Tramway company
and several prom ncnt officials attended
the funeral.

THE NEW BATHING BEACH.


II May Not BE Ready for Use This Season.
The situation at the new bathing beach is
becoming more and more complicated as the
days so by and unless something is done at
once it will not be ready for use this season.
Yesterday the Commissioners received a
letter from Mr.. W. y. Stevens, who has been
one of the prime movers in the affair and who.
rather than the bathing beach failure
undertook the contract for building
the bathing houses below actual cost. Mr.
Stevens says that Contractor Frawley has failed
in four essential respects in grading the beach
according to his contract. In the first place
the earth has been placed in the water
so that it now lies i'll hummocks and
ridges with deep and dangerous holes between
them. Then again no pains have been taken in
averaging the delivery of earth from the shore
into the water to leave it five feet
deep at low tide at the outer edge of the
fill. In some places he says the Milling has
been carried out some forty or fifty feet from
the low water line and at other places not more
than fifteen twenty feet away from the
shore there are holes in which there has hardly
any earth been PLACED. leaving the water eight
or ten fee. deep forty feet from shore. Mr..
Stevens says to sand the beach and throw
1t open in its present condition
to the public would be inviting them to a death
trap. tor such it would prove to children who
could not swim. He urges the Commissioners
to take prompt action ii they desire the bathing
beach to be in use this season.
