NEW YORK, June 20.-What are you go
ing TO do this summer, you young men of
the town, during the weeks that must elapse
before you go away for your long vacation,
to which you have been looking forward
since last summerl
You can, of course, snatch day now and
then from your arduous labors, and on such
occasions it will be your pleasure to start
for a drive or a ride "o'er moss and fell" or
along whatever country road or through
whatever woods it may be your privilege to
have adjacent to the town in which you
live.
II you are a rather selfish sort OF a young
man, something on the blase order tired of
the world of women and girls. and glad to
enjoy yourself without their companion
ship, you will select the best horse at your
disposal, whistle to faithful dog Tray, and
mounted upon Dobbin with Tray at your
side, you will go dancing, prancing, jump
ing, bowling. gnlloping, racing aud tearing
off to the wuods-to the woods awaY-to
make holiday all by yourself.
But If you are a sensible young man-the
kind of man that the women love and the
kind that they may trust and reward with
their con6dences-you will make it your
gather about you a choice party of con-
genial spirits, who will make merry with
you and bring you home wiser, happier,
merrier and healthier for your days outing.
Women love to ride horseback, but alas
custom has given them such a very uncom-
Portable seat in the saddle that only few
of the ssurdiest women can continue to en-
Joy the sport of horseback riding for sea-
son or two without becoming cramped, neu-
ralgic, back-achy, and even lop-sided. You
know what the position is. A woman's
knee is propped up almost under her chin,
and her back, in this position, Is tempted to
take o curve against which she must strug
gle every moment, lest she will appear un~
graceful.
Now, you know, you and I, being women
who believe in corsetS, petticoats aud ban Is,
would not advise or IN any way advocate
the adoption of the divided skirt for riding
purposes, but there is way that Is very
good one for those who have tried it, and it
is this. Let woman procure two saddles, q
right side saddle and a left one and then let
| her ride alternately upon each. II she is a
horseback fiend and rides both morning aud
afternoon, then let her ride on Che right
saddle in the morning and the left one in the
afternoon. This rests the legs, both the
right leg and the off leg, and she doesn't
get SO cramped that she feels uncomfortable
when her right leg is stretched out straight,
or when the left leg is doubled up.
If she intends to ride only once day. let
| her accustom herself to riding both ways,
and if she is going on long riding tour
| through the country with party of men
like the kind previously alluded to as unset
fish, kind and generous. let her send or have
sent one of the saddles ahead, to await her
al some objective point in the trip, when
she can continue on her way rejoicing at the
opportunity for change in position. Those
who have tried it say that this is a very
satisfactory way.
Every woman who rides in a horse car
| gets accustomed to being sandwiched be,
tween men whom she has never seen and,
| too often, whom she hopes she will never
| see again. Ladies who have driven in
! their own carriages profess to be terribly
shocked when fate or fortune drives them
| to the exigency of entering horse car, and
4 they lament openly that some way cannot
be devised by which proper seclusiop is
| maintained.
1t is related that Mrs Van Rensselaer,
| Cruger, known TO the novelreaders as Julian
| Gordon, the most prominent literary woman
| of America, was surrounded and sur
| mounted by chain of circumstances which
compelled her, just few days ago. to enter
a Broadway horse car. Chauncey M.
Depew entered the car shortly after and
| took bis stand opposite Mrs. Cruger.
"Why, Mrs. Cruger," sold ne, do you
| ride in the horse cars 2"
mo, indeed, 1 do not" replied Mrs.
| Cruger. 81 assure you do not To prove
it can tell you that l do not know how
much the car fare is. Will you kindly ask
the conductor for me if owe him 10 cents
or only s? have really forgotten, or
might say that never knew how much the
car companies do charge persons who travel
in this way"
Mrs. Crugers new home on Staten Island
is to be very elegant one, but not large
one. 1t is designed specially for comfort
and is to be SO arranged that all the needs
of its literary owner shall be gratihed. II
is Mrs. Crugers proud boast that the house
is being built entirely from the proceeds OF
her own novels.
Rose Coghlan may and may not be an
aspirant for social honors, but, at all
events, society is seeking her. Her unfort-
innate marriage has enlisted sympathy
rather than criticism from people who
know all the circumstances and her very
clever acting, charming manners and unas'
Stunning ways win for her scores of friends
among people who do not usually seek the
stage boards for friends. Miss Coghlan has
had many social honors extended to her
since she has been in New York, and is seer
frequently at the homes of very nice peo-
ple 1t is on Miss Coghlan's account that
the Stevens family, who own Hoboken, en-
tertained recently the large theatrical com
pady which assisted at their out-of-dooi
matinee.
A prominent figure of downtown New
York-Miss MILDLY Morgan. the cattle edi-
tor of two big New York papers, is break.
ing down under the strain of hard work and
out of door exposure. For twenty-eight
years MILDLY Morgan has gone beck AND
forth to the cattle yard, writing up her re-
ports and doing her work in such way
that the press has lost no chance of giving
her a paragraph. Now she is wear
ing out, and with fortune oil
nearly 100000, all earned by herself, she
can retire at any time to her home on Long
Island. The little basket which she always
carries and into which the market men sir
the finest catch of trout and the first fruit:
of the season will be missed when the ole
lady is no longer able to 60 about on the
streets that have known her for SO long
and editors and cattlemen say that up K
the very moment when MILDLY" leaves tht
yard, her ideas and works shall receive from
them respectful consideration.
Women who lead the styles and set tbs
fads are trying to go without corsets. 1t Il
said, though nobody dares to say it loudly
or openly, that since Mrs Whitney took W
| the Delsarte fad that she has discarded bel
stays, and now people are wondering If thu
snug, tidy Mrs. Cleveland will do likewise
Mrs. Whitney is specially devoted TO Del
sartism and is going TO dress, walk, tall
and ride in a way that would cause tht
late lamented Delsarte to rise right up anC
