TEACH YOUR BOY TO BE TIDY.
There is No Reason why They Should
Not be as Careful as Girls.

Girls are instructed that 1t Is not LADY,
like TO keep their sleeping and sitting
rooms In such condition that they would
be ashamed to invite strangers 20 inspect
them. Why should not boys receive a
similar training2 Why should they not
be schooled TO handle broom and duster
as deftly as their sistersl There Is no
degradation OF a boys manliness in such
occupations. he need not be obliged to
make his own bed. although that is an
accomplishment practiced by many
young men In their college days. He
should learn, however, the proverb !:
"A place for everything and everything
in It's place." Is not restricted In its appli-
cation 70 feminine possessions alono, but
embraces things masculine as well. He
should be made TO realize that derangc-
ment OF books. papers and underclothing
Is no less disgraceful In a boys room than
I'm a girls; that dust and dirt are as OBJ
jectionable In the one as in the other. and
that IL Is mans business to keep his sur
roundings In n we'll regulated condition
himself, without casting the burden OF his
untidy habits upon any woman. What
numberless wives would arise and call
their husbands mothers blessed II this
discipline had been maintained with the
men OF this generation.

WOMEN HORSEBACK RIDERS.
The Chicago Woman Rides n Horse
Clothespin Fashion.

Horseback riding is the great fad OF the
Chicago girl just at present, as 1t has
been for some years the favorite recroa-
tion Of the women Of tho smart New York
set. New York has fifteen riding acade-
mics, Boston has eight, and Chicago has
only two, but from the two have already
graduated about $50 fair equestrians. Tho
Chicago women rides ahigh-stepping cob,
like tho one the New York women has
adopted from her English cousins. The
ong-barrelled Kentucky steed is out OF
date. As to gait, the trot and canter are
the only ones allowed anywhere In good
equestrian society Hudle racing and
tandem jumping are included in the ac-
complishments OF the finished rider, one
expert horsewoman clearing with ease a
hurdle six feet and nine inches In height.
But the thing the Chicago woman does
that tho New York woman has not the
courage to do is 10 ride in the divided
skirt, and IL is told on good authority
that the women who learn 10 sit their
horses i'm the bifurcated garment acquire
a tlrmer seat and better mastery over
their steeds.
