FOX HUNTERS.

Some poctical genius penned the fol.
lowing verses aud sent them to one OF
our celebrated fox hunters. Whether he
is n relative of the renowned Longfellow
We know not, but we give the verses
space to encourage his latent talent and
that the people may know Of "A remark.
able genius in this nrighborhood
There was quite fox chase,
The fox he was go slick,
That the Kline dog,
Was the only one to stick.
II.
There wss little t Z chase,
The fox he run so fast,
That lkeler'4, Hunts, Chtistmdn's,
VanattA's and,Sny d,rs dogs
All come in last.
Now dou't quite understand,
How dogs that run 40 fast;
Such rs Ring, Peeler and Nell,
Should have 10 come in last.

While such a,dcg as Chrsman's,
Shepherd though he may be,
Proved too much for them all,
AS he caughtIthe fox you see.

Or tradelthem all on hogs.

Costume for Horseback.

The correct costume for Well-made
woman who desires TO look both elegant
and comfortable on horseback is the fol-
lowing one. which is worn not only by
Empress Elizabeth of Austria, the en-
press of Russia, the Archduchess Marie
ThereSe, and other WOrld-renowned
equestrians, but also by all the true
sportswomen in Europe. The skirt of
dark blue cloth should be exceedingly
short, barely covering the foot which
which rests in the stirrup. The waist
must be very plain, and made as long as
possible, with very small and abso-
lutely fiat poStilliOn.
A high white collar and square
shaped cuffs are worn herewith. Cor
sets ought not to be worn with a riding
habit: they impede the movements of
the body and give great stiffness to the
appearance, A woman who has a good
figure finds sufficient support from
properly cut habit to be able to dis
pense with the whalebones and steeIs
of corset. When on horseback she
ought to be perfectly supple and at her
ease, able to bend backward or forward
without being impeded by tight lacing
of any kind. A rather closely woven
silk jersey can be worn under the cor
sage, to give additional support. This
ought to be made like coat of mail
and slipped on over the head, so that it
should cling exactly to the form of the
Wearer.
Trousers are never worn by the best
riders, doesKin breeches being alone
comfortable and practical. These, of
course, necessitate wearing high boots,
of patent leather, with very low heels
and pointed toes. A high silk hat is
the only thoroughly correct headgear
for riding In The park, and this ought to
be securely fastened to the hair with a
strong pin, placed in such manner as
not to jut out OH either side.
French ladies have lately adopted a
riding costume for hunting. which is
very pretty, but not as classical as the
red coat worn in Austria. 1t is COM
posed of short skirt of very dark green
cloth and of a habit-shaped corsage of
light green cloth, worn over a white
waistcoat. ''Fantaisie" of any sort
never looks well on horseback, how
ever, and riding costume must be
as plain and as sober as possible. No
Jewelry should ever be worn. diamonds,
or even pearls. giving one Immediately
the appearance OF circus rider. Eliza
beth of Austria, the best horsewoman
in the world, was wont to ride without
gloves, so as toihave better hold on the
reins, and used instead of whip short

GIRL PORTERS.
A Pretty Spectacle Is to See Capri
Maidens Returning From Work.

"A
Maidens Returning From Work.
The Capri women work very hard in
the fields as aids to builders, and
especially as carriers. They transport
everything, from handkerchief full of
figs to a Saratoga trunk, on their heads.
But more astonishing still is the ease
with which they carry a glass biretto
full of wine, Oil or water down the steep
and slippery ''goat paths" which do
duty, with two really good exceptions,
for roads at Capri.

head; on this the biretto-in shape

think of using her hands to steady the
bottle unless it is very huge, or if she
turns her head, or in going up or down a
particularly high step: then she Will
touch the base Of 1t with her fingers.
The grace with which they manage this,
to us, impossible feat is charming.
AS to the Capri girls. there Is some
thing particularly winning about them.
1t is not their beauty half so much as
their frank. natural ways that please
one.
Ladies do not always perceive how
taking these girls are. 81 cannot
understand how men, gentlemen by
birth and education are attracted by
those common girls" is very general
remark.
These girls can assume wonderful
amount of dignity when necessary.
They have also an abundant supply of
mother wit.
One of the prettiest sights is to meet
band of Capri girls, aged from twelve
to sixteen, returning from their days
toll. Here they come. with their skirts
tucked up on one side, the red kerchief
carelessly tied at the back of their
shapely heads. from under which the
dark. wavy hair escapes-cheeks flushed
after hard work, eyes shining, tongues
chattering.
AS they pass they look you straight in
the face, smile merrily, and wish you
"Buona sera," with audible comments
on your personal appearance. But they
are not difficult to please, and as long as
you have an agreeable expression the
general verdict will be that you are
"una bella Signora."

on your nose or in your mouth, and,
later on. with chIldhood's scorn of de-
cency and decorum, he will sit astride
your neck and grow green and purple
with rage when gently made to sit else
where. Should he fall out Of bed and
yell loud enough to be heard all over
your ward your wife will say she firmly
believes that you pushed him out, and
that you are not fit to be father. any
how. An animated dialogue of purely
personal and private nature will follow
this remark.
But when the registering little chap
finally 'snuggles up' to you and goes
to sleep with one of his velvety little
cheeks close to your own, and one OF
his warm soft arms around your neck.
you find your heart growing very soft
and tender toward him, and you would
single handed wage war against host
or lay down your life for the love of
him.

Eelves wearying of the gowns and other

BESIDES, since these were pro-

were introduced at the beginning of the

enough difference to tell the initiated
whether the costume or wrap were pro-
cured two months ago or ordered

VIII en- they come.
So we are going to start the New Year
fresh, we are going to do lot of little
things that we might have done last
year and didn't, and these are few of
them:
We are going TO say the words of af-
lection that bring happiness and not
just think them.
We are going to look pleasant even if
we don't feel so, and funnily enough,
the mere looking will make us get SO
after while.
We are going, if we are women, to
mend the frock that is ripped around
the bottom, to sew hooks and buttons
on. and not resort to pins in hurry.
We are going, if we are men, to be
more considerate of women. and not to
conclude that their lives are without
thought or without worry.
We are going, no matter what we are,
men, women or ghosts or dogs, to be
polite-that is, to give the smile, the
bow or the paw just as is most con-
venient to men, women. ghosts or dogs.
We are going to read the good books,
to look at the beautiful pictures, to ap-
propriate lovely women. athletic men,
sweet babies and amiable puppies. And
in this way we will find out and grasp
half the good things in life.
We are going to wish everybody,
from the president who is in to the
president who is out, from the intimate
friend to the stranger at the gates, a
Happy New Year, and we are going to
mean it and help to make it one.
Won't you echo back this wish to
