GIRLS ON HORSEBACK.
They Should Not Begin Riding at
Too Early an Age.

100 Early an Age.
Harper's Bazaar. ~
We can look upon the declaration of
Young America for sport with supreme
qualification, as it argues well for the
generation to come. but we should not
lose sight of the fact that its bene-
hts may be more than counter
balanced by injudiciously forcing
these tastes. That there is danger of
til is is shown by the tendency TO put
girls on horseback at an age much too
tender to have other than harmful re-
suits. 1t is marvellous that mo Their who
is usually most careful in guar ding her
chiid'S safety should allow her Ii tile one
to Incur the risks attendant upon riding
(Which are great enough for person
endowed with strength. Judgment. ard
s1eciSiOn) without thought of the dangers
he is exposed to at the time or VIVA
may be the evil effects in the future.
Surely parents do not realize what the
results may be, or they would never
trust girl of eight years or thereabouts
to the mercy of horse, and at his
mercy she is bound to be. No child OF
that age or several years older has
strength sufficient even to manage an
unruly pony, which, having once dis
covered his power, is pretty sure to
take advantage of it at every
opportunity. Even if 10 accidents oc-
cur, the knowledge of her helplessness
may SO brighten the child that she will
never recover from her timidity. 1t is
nonsense to say she will outgrOw it;
early impressions are never entirely
eradicated, and should she in after life
appear to regain her courage at criti-
cal moment it will desert her, and early
recOllectiOnS reaSSert themselves.

HER MOTHER MADE
Unique Arrangement for the Pleas
ure of Travelling Woman.

IRE OF a lPaNcIInS w OIAldH.
Some one the other day thought of
this about a calendar, says Harper's
Bazaar. A daughter was to go away, to
be gone long time, on the other side
of the earth. So the mother. thinking
to bring her good cheer, bought cal
endar.
Now the ordinary calendar differs lit
tie from its fellow, except happily now
and then in the way Of quoted phrase,
or blithesome child, or maybe decora-
tive fruit or flower More than that. no
ordinary calendar seems all individuals
very own. As how could it, with It's
counterpart on anybody's desk, and its
mates all manufactured by the dozen?
But the calender this mother made
could be duplicated by no one,
for this is what she did.
Below the date on each leaf there was
blank space. She therefore took the
calendar apart, sending its 365 leaves
to as many different friends and rela-
tives, asking each to write some sort OF
salutation on the blank space below the
date. When these were returned they
were bound together again and the cal
endar was given to the daughter, who
knew nothing of what had been done.
She was made TO promise, however. to
tear off no leaf until the day had dawned
when the leaf was due.
What a source of delight such a
calendar would be to an exile from
home can easily be imagined. Every
dav different greeting from different
friendl Every day new surprise. and
never to know till the morrow what
friend was to send a word of good cheer.
The one addition this mother might
make on another calendar of its kind
would be to ask each friend to keep a
record of the date when the greeting, as
it were, fell due, so that when the exile
read it in one of these far away cOun-
tries she and her friends at home might,
for a moment at least, stand consciously
face to face.

The following Interesting story is told
by an old travelling salesman who
formerly represented one of the large
jewelry houses in London, England.
His experience is one which, to say the
least, is unusual. and will be fully APP
preciated by the representatives of
American houses who have never en-
joyed the good fortune of a similar Oc-
, currence.

mined to learn the difficulty. So one
morning he watched John when he
started on the line of traps. He found
him little later making love to his
wife. Now Bill was of an exceedingly
jealous disposition, and this last dis
closure threw him into parfect rage.
John feared personal violence, and
finally made proposition something
like this: Now, Bill, you and are old
friends; we've shot many moose and
caught many bear together haven't
done the square thing by you; but don't
want no hard feelings, and if you'll name
the price I'll settle and just pack up my
buds and clear out. This proposition
sounded like business and required
some deliberation. Bill sat long time
thinking the matter over. Finally he
said: well, John. Pll tell you; | don't
want to be too hard on you, an | tell we

Cream and ecru guipure laces and
Irish crochet bands, pices and sleeves
are most effectively used to trim every
sort of sumner gown excepting, per-
haps. those which emanate from the
tailor. Silk or linen talting, which
bears close resemblance in pattern to
Irish crochet, makes a pretty and eff
fectiye dress trimming. The new Han
Overian lace is also much like Dublin

NarraganSett Pier hotel Is quite SIX feet
tall, and feels seven. She knows that
she is facially superior to most OF her
friends, but her extreme and UNI
necessary length prevents her from
taking any satisfaction in this con-
sciOusness. and more miserable glanl-
ess it would be difficult 10 find. Proba-
blv the large beauty is never so utterly
i'll at ease as at dance. when, II she
takes part, the contrast between her
and her partner mortifes her beyond
expI essioD. IL past seasons she has
suffered extremely from her sense OF
acknowledgment and so when ger
man was planned at her hotel recently
she did not welcome the announcement
as she would have done had she been
shorter. =
Suddenly, while she was very DIES
pendent over the thought that i'll eve Il
ing dress sh e would certainly be an aW-
full guy, an idea struck her, and she sat
down and wrote a series of notes to
some friends. Answers came to these
| in good time, and at once the tall girl
became lighter hearted. She entered
| into discussions concerning the APP
preaching german with as much enthu-
| siasm as any OF the girls, and it was
| noted that she held herself more erect
| than formerly, it being her custom to
| drOop as much as possible in order to
| reduce her stature to the lowest posi-
Bile degree. The german night arrived.
and with it came to the hotel three re-
| markable young men. Each was Col
| ossus, and carried himself as though
] proud of his extreme altitude.
|
When the dance began the tall girl
was radiant. One of the big chaps was
her partner. and the other two never
| failed when they had fayors to bestOw,
to Immediately seek her. In this man.
ner she was always accompanied in the
dance by one or the other of
the hereulean youths, and, in
! consequence, felt an ease and
| confidence that lent distinct
grace to her movements and made her
| altogether the most magnificent figure
| of the occasion. All other girls looked
as though they belonged to an inferior
race, and the result was that, with her
| really beautiful face, and her now regal
bearing, the extensive beauty was by
all odds the belle of the ball. The three
big men were certainly very good to
make the long Journeys that they did to
do a service for their fair friend, and il
was all out of pure generosity, for they
have no idea even yet that handsome
souvenir scarf-pins are now being made
as mementoes of their gallantry.
