Women Who Ride.

The horsemauship of the women to
be seen in the riding schools of New
York causes derisive smiles among the
Southern and Western women who
see it. There are a few instances of
fearless riding by young women who
have learned to scamper across the
fields In the country, and who have a
good seat and firm eye. but the ma
jority of women riders are painful to
look at. 1t is evident to horse women
from out of town, who ride for the
pleasure of riding aud not to reduce
their weight. that the dread of too
much fat takes most of the women to
riding schools in New York.
The riders are, in some instances SO
ponderous, that getting them in the
saddle is a world of Breathe SIS danger.
They always wear the tightest habits
possible, aud after the first few steps
of the horse their faces are inflamed
and their breath comes in quick and
plaintive gasps But they stick to it
until the prescribed half hours exer-
else has been accomplished, and then
they weigh themselves and dress, un-
der the impression that their figures
are regaining their sylph-like and
youthful proportions The riding
masters believe that these women eat
and drink so much after their exercise
that there is never any perceptible de-
crease in weight.

Kitchen Comforts.

The wise woman makes her kitchen

BILE room are very wisely spent If

the comfort of the kitchen will often
be the measure of the servants stay
and her willingness to work.

possible, should be covered with limo
leum, tiles, or something equally dur
able and easy to keep clean. There
should be light colored Holland shades
at the windows and short sash cur
tains of white dotted muslin.
There should be, If possible, safe
with glass doors through which the
blue and yellow crockery, the tin and
copper vessels may be seen without
gathering dust and smoke. There
should be at least one shelf where
cook books may repose and another
where bright, hardy, heat loving
flowers may bloom. A kitchen clock
should provide the element of accur-
acy for the culinary experiments and
a big, splint- bottomed rocker should
be one of the prominent furnishings
of the room

vented to account for its appearing
about the time OF the crusadea 1t is
said that the intense heat of the sun
shining on the bright armor caused
the Christian knights who went to
the relief OF the holy sepulchre to de-
wise this garment as means of pro
tecting themselves from its full
power. Others say it was to keep
the armor from rusting in wet
weather, but most probably it was
more by way of ornamentation that
it was adopted. At this time the
long bow, though used, had not be-
come the national weapon that it did
IN after years, and the cross-bow was
the more frequently seen.

Beef stock.

Soups may be broadly divided into
four classes-clear soups, thick soups,
purees or bisques and chowders Clear
soups include all forms of bouillon or
broth Thick soups consist of the
clear soups boiled down to unusual
strength and thickened. Purees have
the vegetable ingredients cooked soft
and rubbed through a sieve into the
soup Bisques are purees, with fish
used in place Of the vegetables, and
chowders are compounds Of fish, fowl,
flesh or vegetables, mixed and sea-
soned to suit the individual taste Of
the cook.
The meat from which soup is to be
made must be lean, as greasy soup is
an abomination. The meat should be
cut from the bone in rather small
pieces and the bone broken. The
bone gives the flavor of the marrow
to the soup. Meat and bone should be
placed in cold water and the whole
slowly heated. 1t should be skinned,
as film rises to tho top. When the
water just reaches the boiling point
the vegetables and havoring should
be added and the whole allowed to
simmer, but not to boil, for several
hours The daintiest way of favorlng
the soup is to tie the spices in a gauze
bag and let them remain in the water
long enough to give flavor but not
their whole strength. When the soup
is done it should be taken from the
stove. skinned, partially cooled and
passed through a hair sieve. This is
bouillon, the foundation of all good
soup. 1t will keep for long time in

Sciool Luncheons.

"In the first place, bear in mind
that the lunch must be light and of
such nature that the child will not
be made uncomfortable digesting it
! take for granted that, perhaps in
yaur locality, they take lunch at noon
cad then remain in school until
o'clock. If there is one hour given for
lunch, children will naturally eat dur
ing the early part of the hour. Then,
after that, they will run and use such
violent exercise that digestion is
stopped until they become once more
quiet in the school room, SO digestion
Is going on while the brain is also
active. This, of course, is partly un-
avoidable, and, unless great care is
taken TO give light lunches, children
will break down when they reach
the ages of IA to 16. AZ sandwich,
carefully made OF whole wheat bread,
well buttered; and filing of chopped
beef, tender chicken or hard boiled
yolks of eggs, pressed through sieve,
are good. The whites must be rigidly
discarded. Occasionally a cheese sand
witch may be given. Do not give pre-
serves, or whole hard boiled eggs, pie
Or cake. Uncooked fruit apples in
season and grapes should be given
freely. Cup custards can be carried
easily, and form a nice little closing
to the sandwich. To give variety,
occasionally a sweet sandwich could
be added to the others. Sandwiches
should be rolled carefully in waxe6
paper, or they become dry and unin-
viting. Cold meat, such as mutton,
beef or chicken, may be neatly ar
ranged, and little paper of salt and
pepper put into box to use with it,
so that with the bread, which must
be buttered, the meat can be taken
without always having q sandwich.
