The Way Women Drive.

Tom Trumpbour is one of the quaintest,
best hearted horsemen in the country, says
visitor to the Catskills. He's driven
stages in these mountains for thirty-five
years. and his salient remarks on the way
women drive" would be worthy of being
preserved in print and literally given out,
as are tracts, for the sake of misunderstood
horsefesh. Tom only received twenty
copies of that charming autobiography of
a horse, ''Black Beauty" from mountain
maids who know how well he likes horses.
"They keep fishin with the lines" says
Tom, when giving points on the way
women drive. ''They all think they've got
bite. A woman can't help it; it's natural.
She's got notion she oughter git along
faster, and she keeps a-pushing, a-pushing
on the lines.
Hold your lines taut in one hand; a turn
Of your wrists guides your horses all right u
said Tom Trumpbour, handling the ends
of a ball of Irvine with the air Of pro-
fessor demonstrating n scientific fact.
"And don't hold your lines up so they will
cuff yer ears. Most women do-and some
men too"

a Simple Food.

Nothing was more characteristic of the
Canarians than this staple food of theirs
called "gofio." The islanders of our own
day are pasSionately devoted to it. In
truth, however, it is very plain article OF
diet. 1t is only the flour of roasted maize,
peas, beans or barley, or a compound OF
two or three grains. Yet fragrant indeed
is the perfume from ''gofo' watermiIl
with the householders tarrying round
about it to carry off their flour to use ere
the aroma has left it.
The sojourner in the agreeable hotels of
Orotava may, if he pleases, tickle his PAL
ate at breakfast time with some of this
"gofo." He will not venture like an ac-
complished native, to take handful of it
and throw it down his throat. 1t would
choke him almost to death if he did. The
waiter will considerably offer it to him in
warm milk or coffee, or mixed with lit
tie honey in the form of n cake. 1t is ap-
petizing enough with any one of those con-
diments. The old Canarians mixed it with
hot mutton fat, milk, honey or goats but
ter. Their Successors follow their exam
| pie. The poorest people eat it with water
only, seasoned 10y pinch of salt, and upon
| this meager species Of Cruel many Tene-
rifan brings up family of seven or eight
stout children at a cost of few pence a
week.
The traveller in the islands will observe
that his guide would as soon think of going
| without his shirt as without his little sack
of "gofio," from which be now and again
stays his stomach with ffstful. In Palma
to this day, and no doubt elsewhere also
an inexpensive sort of ''gofio'' is made out
of the dried roots of the bracken which
abounds in the pine forests on the noun,

The milliner's bill this season bids fair
to appall even the most indulgent hus-
band. When milady of fashion buys
dressy little toque, she also buys caps
and muff to match.
These sets are the daintiest things i'm
aginable, but their price is better left
untold. A shop window displays a set
fashioned in green miroir velvet. The
little toque is of the velvet, which shades
from palest green into dark, with the
contrasting shadow tints a rich brown.
The velvet is dented here and there and
framed in little sable bow, with the
head and two tails adorning the toque in
front. The cape is formed of two velvet
ruf1es, very fail and lined with the pal
est green silk. They are edged with a
narrow band OF sable.
The velvet muff is a peculiarly shaped
affair 1t hangs down in points at the
sides and shows conspicuously its deli
