vocating extremes that would be more
appropriate for an opera bouffe queen
than for sensible woman who whished
to take her exercise in sensible man
ner.
The underlying principles of correct
dress for the wheel are comfort and ap-
propriateness. The carrying out Of
these principles need in no sense con-
fiict with good taste or merge into con-
spicuousness.
There is perfect freedom in skirt.
provided the skirt is made as it should
be.
The woman who rides is obliged not
only to dress with due regard to her
appearance when mounted, but also
should exercise the same care in re-
gard to an attractive and ilconspicu-
Gus appearance when she dismounts at
the door of her friends house, the
store, or to enter hotel. or wherever
her faithful wheel may take her, on
business or pleasure bound.
The fundamental principal of COM
fort for wheelwoman lies IN the I'M
derwear. Corsets should never DC worn
under any circumstances. Neither -
it desirable to ride without any sup
port for the body, especially if the
rider is inclined to stoutness. An
equipoise waist from which the bones
have been removed is the best subs.i-
tute for the corset, as then the mus
cles are allowed to have full play, and
are not CONSTRUCTED in any way. Union
underwear is now SO universally worn
that it would seem almost unnecessary
to recommend it; but upon the wheel
it becomes almost a necessity, doing
away with much unpleasant thick
ness around the hips.
A pair of full Turkish trousers, made
of black India silk, will be found an
admirable substitute for the petticoa.
If preferred, equestrian tights are
also extremely comfortable. Leggings
are stiff and uncomfortable adjuncts,
and are not necessary. They interfere
with the ankle notion" which should
be cultivated by every woman who
wishes to ride gracefully.
For summer wear, low shoes and
ankles covered with smooth black
stockings are the most comfortable.
The form of the skirt is by far the
most important part of the wheel
woman's attire. 1t should flare from
the hips, so as not to hoop" around the
ankles or bind across the knees.
The skirt should clear the ground
about four inches, and be lined with
silk or satin to prevent clingiug. An
Eton jacket or habit waist, as one pre-
fers, makes a natty and feminine
adjunct to the skirt. This can be ex-
changed on warm days for the ever
popular shirt waist of cambria or silk.
Given a wheel properly adjusted for
her height and weight and few gen.
eral directions in regard to dress. any
woman with ordinary intelligence and
taste may rest assured that in riding a
cycle she is doing nothing which de-
tracts from her dignity or personal ap-
pearance. but on the contrary, she can,
by exercising her good taste and never
losing sight of the principle of appro-
priatcness, soon find herself in the
full enjoyment of q pastime not only
unsurpassed for its life-giving quail
ties, but which will prove itself to be q
veritable fountain of beauty.-Har-

LIFE ON SMALL FARMS.
Some Inducements Offered to Those Unfor-
Inmates in Town.

Some Inducements Offered to Those Unfor-
Inmates in Town.
The owner of ten to twenty acres of
land within convenient distance of city
or town is very fortunate. The Phila-
delphia Ledger of a recent date says:
The demand for small farms has been
greater than ever before. Properties
of from thirty to fifty acres and less
are wanted-the farmers holding them
say they can make more money and
live better upon a few acres than upon
a large farm"
This same state of affairs is noticed
in all the eastern states. and especially
is this the case in our own state. The
low prices obtained for the leading
staple articles, such as corn and wheat.
and with a proba ability of these prices
prevailing for some years yet to come,
accounts for this change in farm man
agement- Poultry raising. early lambs,
trucking, bee keeping. small fruit cul-
ture, and dairying in all its branches
will be followed more clOsely-more
money being made and a greater de-
gree of comfort being obtainable. A
larger population will be supported,
a more systematic and careful cultiva-
ton of the soil. better roads, well man
aged public schools, churches, lectures,
and all social enjoyments will follow
in due course Of time.
A friend who two years ago bought a
small place in the country, says: y
write this under my own Concord vine
and apple tree and from beneath roof
of my own: am landed proprietor,
taxpayer, the owner of a bit of ground
and horse and stable. We have paid
out hundreds of dollars in rent, and
have lived in some sort of fashion, but
now we are fixed. My interest and
taxes are not much more than one
third the amount l have been paying
in rents. have one COW this gives T.
two gallons of delicious milk every
day. one dozen hens which supply Us
with eggs, half dozen apple and pear
trees. and few currant and raspberry
bushes. The past year our garden gave
us all the vegetables we needed, and
some to spare for our city friends; and
such egetables,-just fresh from the
garden, not like the stale stuff you see
on the market-stalls.
My wife looks healthier, is much
more contended, and the children are
the picture of health. They have a
home-a place that they can love and
remember as home throughout all
their after-lives- 1t is positive pleas
ure for me to walk up once year and

don't mind the extra work | am called
upon to do when 1 see the happy re-
suits of country life My only wish Is
that the hundreds of clerks that are
living in the city in rented homes could
be induced to follow my example and
come out into the country where pure
air, plenty of sunshine. green fields,
contentment and happiness avail,

WOMAN AND HOME.
A DRESDEN LUNCHEON.

IL Is An the Vogue for springtims En-
tertainments-A Delightful Combin alton
of the Dainty with the EIeEant-Every
D,sb. Gun or saucer Used Must He of
Genuine Dresden China-
A very dainty and fowery style Of
luncheon is the vogue for springtime
entertainments, and into its scheme
enter all the features, each and every
one, of the pretty table and its setting
forth. This is known as the Dresden
luncheon.
First of all It is imperative that the
menu be as simple and limited as good
taste will allow.
Five courses, or six, including cof-
fee. are now considered sufficient for
the most elegant and formal luncheon
party. A hostess bears in mind that IL
is supposedly q slight midday meal
that she is serving to guests who
have breakfasted late and whose din
ner in the evening will be more or less
elaborate and substantial.
Bouillon, game, an entree. salad,
menu.
With this most sensible innovation
of simplicity care is taken that the ap-
pointments of service and table deco
ration arc as light and dainty as the re-
past. That they are very handsome
aud exquisite in detail does not mean
that the effect of simplicity is not Sc
cured in perfection.
The Dresden luncheon is considered
to combine the dainty with the ele-
giant more delightfully."- than any other
design of artistic entertainments yet
seen. The keynote is the blending
everywhere upon the table of the del.
icate Dresden china colors, blue, pink,
yellow and violet.
The fine flowers seen upon the royal
china are scattered in embroidery over
the linen centerpiece; on this stands q
Dresden bowl holding an old-fashioned
nosegay of pink rosebuds, dollhouse
daisies with their yellow centers, pam
sizes and heliotrope. These are tied

loosely together with a bow of blue
ribbon. which gives the needed touch
of that color, unless one is able to get
natural forget-me-nots or some other
fine blue flowers. like scillas- A few
airy and smaller punches of the same
flowers. in little cut-glass stands, are
placed about the table.
The candelabra have pink rose
shades.

. terpiece. and floating in the water Of
the bowls are the different flowers; a
few rose petals in one. daisy in an
other and pansy in another until each
has one.
Every cup, saucer, plate or dish used
Is of Dresden china, the greater the
variety of their shapes the prettier.
The ice cream is served in small satin
cases, in the different pale colors, blue,
pink. violet and yellow. When boxes
in these colors cannot be procured
plain white is used. On the top of
each is tied little bunch of satin
flowers composed of tiny pink rose
buds. blue forget-me-nots, a daisy, .
bit of heliotrope, or few violets.
At the place of each guest is q name
card, done in the Dresden design. The
cards are made of water-colors paper
and the design painted in water coloy.
The color of the painted ribbon bows
in the designs given varies in the diff
ferent cards in blue, pink, yellow and
violet, and where the loop and end ex-
tend over the edge they are cut out,
making the rib.5n look more realistic.
The sign of all Dresden ware from
the royal factories is the tiny blue
crossed swords on the reverse or bot
tom Of the dish, without which no piece
is genuine; so on the back of the cards
one must be sure to paint the sword
sign in Just the right shade of old blue,
thus making complete the idea of a
veritable feast of of royal Dresden
A very new and pretty design for
name-cards at these luncheons Is the
violet one shown in the second picture.
A plain white or cream square envelope
Is used for this card. Where the name
is to be seen an opening like that of
picture frame is cut through the face
Of the envelope, line of narrow gild-
ing finishing the edge. The name of
the guest is written on plain card and
put inside the envelope SO as to show
through the opening.
Some other small graceful flower in
place of the violet is sometimes painted
on it with good effect; and if one col
or, as yellow, for instance, pred oni-
mates in the table decorations, a design
of jonquils or buttercups is chosen
A cardboard rest is tied in at the top
of these envelope cards by q narrow
ribbon caught through two little Sits
in the envelope over the one in the rest
itself. They are then stood around the
table like dainty little picture frames.
which in reality they are, making the
most charming souvenirs when taken
home and a small photograph substi-
tuted for the card with the name on it.

of denouncing it as had been reported.
