How to Wear Shoes.
Chicago Nail.

do YOU know there isn't one man In
500 who knows how to wear shoes, re-
marked a shoe dealer the other day.
The average man buys pair OF shoes,
wears them until they are no longer
Dresentable and then throws them
away and buys another pair. y man
ought 10 have at least two pair of shoes
for everyday wear, and no pair should
should be worn two days in succession"
AT first thought this may strike you
as a scheme to benefit shoe dealers, put
il is nothing Of the kind. In fact, such
plan would iDjure the shoe business.
Two pairs of shoes worn alternately will
last three times as long as single pair.
The saving, of course, is made on the
wearing Of the leather.
"A pair Of shoes worn every day goes
to pieces more than twice as fast as
pair worn every second day. | know
that proposition is Stagger, but 1t IS
true nevertheless. a man does not wear
out two pair Of shoes in exactly the same
manner. Do you remember howan old
pair feel when you first put them on
again after they have been discarded for
awhile.
They didn't fit you like your new
shoes, and the contrast is very marked.
But the same thing holds true in the
case Of new shoes. No TWO pair fit your
feet i'm exactly the same way. In one
pair the strain and wear of the leather
falls heaviest on one part of the shoe,
and in another the greatest wear and
tear falls upon another part altogeth-

Boston,s Mnlionaire BohemIenne.
GIo5e-Dem0crqt

Mrs. Jack Gardner is one of the seven
wonders of Boston. There is nobody
like her in any sity in this country. She
is millionaire Bohemienne. She is
eccentric, and she has the courage of
her eccentricity. She is the leader of
the smart set, but she often leads
where none dare follow. She is 80,
plain, and wide mouthcd, but has the
handSomeSt neck, shoulders, and
arms in all Boston. When she
dresses decollete she plays the limit.
She initiates nobody: everything she
does is novel and original. She is as
brilliant as her own diamonds, and as
attractive. Some one has well put it:
All Boston is divided into two parts, of
which one follows science and the other
Mrs. Jack Gardiner. She is patron of
art, music, and the drama; she is the fe-
male M1cenaS of Boston. She "bringS

fists, Buddhist priests and Siberian po-
litical exileS-She is their refuge and
their strength.
A French visitor in Boston, captivated
and dazzled, said in the club room: 1T

this most charming woman to remain a
widow" You see the Joke of this that

In the Bodleian Library at Oxford is
most touching record of herOism and self
sacrifice on the part of child.
The lower door of St Leonard Church,

boys, wandering in. were tempted to mount

All at once jOist gave way. The beam
on which they were standing became dis
placed. The elder had just time to grasp
it when falling, whilethe younger, slipping
over his body, caught hold of his comrades
legs. In this fearful position the poor lads
hung. crying vainly for help, for no one
was near.
At length the boy clinging to the beam
became exhausted. He could no longer

TO the Lad below that they were both done

Hot weather and country surroundings
bring some relaxation of the strictrules OF
costume. Far from the madding crowd
one may sport a straw hat or a SLOUGH, go
gloveless for the sake of the tan, or even
don boots, though many elderly riders
preserve their city form wherever they go.
II is surprising, by the way, what a
large number of men well along in years
still cling to the saddle. Bishop Potter's
erect and portly form is seen on the bride
path almost every weekday in the park.
X. L. Cutting is more than portly. If he
were poor man he would be called fat, yet
he is interchangeable in the saddle. Mayor
Grant and Park Commissioner Hampden
Robb are fine specimens Of sturdy, bearded
middle-aged men in the saddle. The MAYOR
keens in his private stable a gray and a
chestnut saddle horse and rides either as
the mood takes him.

simplicity of women's riding habits there

From time immemorial physicians have
recommended riding for women, and other
physicians have deplored the one-sided de-
velopment of the body that comes Of much
use of the side saddle. Mabel. Jenness, a
clever teacher of physical culture, created
something like a sensation some time ago
by promising to ride through the park en-
cdrdlier with divided skirts, one division on
the left side of the horse and the other di-
vision on the righs side, but she never did
it. Kate Field, who has pluck enough for
anything, privately expressed an inter
est in the same undertaking
but her interest never led TO ac-
ton. 1t would be difficult to try the eX-
pertinent. Albert B. Cohn, of the Central
Park riding academy, where Bishop Potter
and many others keep their mounts tells
me that he wyuldn't let woman 60 out Of
his stable mounted astride. and most other
riding teachers would not be less particu-

Some relief for women who wish TO ride
without getting as one-sided as spell
binder, is promised, however, by the re
versible side-saddle This recent invention
is very much like any other slde-saddle, eX-
cept that the two pommels, instead OF pc
ing fixed. screw into the saddle on elther
side The screw holes are closed when not
in use by plugs covered with leather, like
the saddle. To transfer the pommels,
girth and stirrups from one side TO the
other is the work OF about two minutes.
Mr.. Cohn SAYS it seems decidedly awkward

tom of the owner of such saddle is 10

few women are using these saddles yet, but
their use stands great deal better chance
of becoming general than does the Mabel
Jenness plan.
The riding clubs of New York are legion.
Some of the best known practicing at the
Central Park academy are the Acadia,
Freundschaftand Park riding clubs. The
drills and evoutions of sone OF these clubs
are decidedly interesting, though one would
suppose that more pleasure could be got
in the opon air than on the tan bark floor
of a riding academy.
And who rides. Everybody who can
afford it and who knows what's worth
while-John Rogers. the manager of Min
ME Palmer until lately; George Steinway,
Gustav Schwab. Charles Lanier, NJ. H.
Hammersley. j. Q A. Ward, the sculptor.
Mrs. Moss, wife of the theatrical man, is
an expert. and Miss Pullman, daughter of
the palace car man, is another. Miss Selg-
man, the bankers daughter. and Miss Dit
tenhoefer. the lawyers, ride Mrs. How

Martinsen, Mrs. s. l. Mayer, Elsie Leslie,
the child actress, and Mrs. Dexter A.
LOOMS are among the clever eq uestriennes.
But catalogue would be as long as it
would be embarrassing.
Obviously, riding is an amusement for
the rich The habit may cost from one
hundred dollars up, and two a year are re-
quired. II wouldn't be wise TO try TO get
a horse for much less than five hundred
dollars, and of course il is easy 10 pay more
The cost is in the long run greater if you
hire. To board horse costs about as
much as to board man. If you belong to
a riding club there are incidental expenses.
A thousand the first year and half as much
thereafter, little more for woman and a
little less for a man, is about the cost of
riding in the city. It's hardly thing for
clerks and carpenters, but those who have
tried ii say it's worth every cent II costs.
