COURAGEOUS BRATrLEBoRo"
Here Is Another Case of Going Away
from Home to Get the News.

From the Albany, y. Y, journal
A monument should some day be raised
to the women of Brattleboro. For many
years now the women of the world have
been convinced that when on horseback
the best way to ride is to ride astride. They
have assured themselves of this on the ev-
idence of physicians who tell them that it
is unhealthful to sit on one side of horse;
on the testimony of horsemen, who as
sure them that the side saddle INJURIES the
animal, and that it is next to impossible to
sit on one gracefully, and by the COMPARE
son of the customs of other countries,
from Australasia, Egypt, Mexico and
South America, to the North American
Indians, whose women all ride astrde.
with much apparent comfort to themselves.
On the other hand, no argument in favor
OF the side saddle has been produced. Yet,
in spite of all this, women, including those
who promise to do what is right if they
are accorded the ballot, have not done
what they had become convinced was right
in the case, because they did not dare.
1t must have required an extraordinary
amount of intrepidity to overcome the fear
which has so long held the sex in check.
but the women of Brattleboro have sum
mOned it up at last. A few women of So
cial prominence began it and the novelty
has spread so rapidly that even the sum
mer guests have adopted it. "a ladv of
unquestioned authority on this subject"
says the Boston Transcript, Uniforms us
that the habit is as carefully made and
correct in detail as the regulation rid
ing habit. Dainty boots, trousers, fault
lessly hitting waist, correct hat and gloves
are not new ideas; but the full BIZ
! furcated skirt is the sole point of differ
/ A &c
both in the front and back, allow the gar
ment to assume the proper outline of
skirt, and a skirt which lust clears the
ground. The fullness about the waist !,
as our informant partcularzes. increases
the apparent size of the hips. while this
manner of riding is said to increase the
size in reality. 1t is said to be the only
drawback to the idea, and drawback only
to women whose hips are naturally of good
proportions An expert in the manage
ment OF the skirt, which is al ways tightly
Duttoned when issuing forth or returning
10 the house, makes a few quick move
! ments with her hands, thus separat NC the
two sides, accomplishes a graceful swing.
very like man, and is in place-no adj
Justing of skirts, for each portion falls
naturally into place"
Now that the women of Brattleboro
have dared, and women of 'social stand
ing, too the new costume should receive a
ready acceptance among riders. 1t is not
so very terrible, now that the plunge has
been taken. Bifurcated garments for BIZ
oycle-rldlng women are not uncommon in
the larger cities of this country, and still
less uncommon abroad. There can be
nothing more dreadful in similar costumes
for horseback.
In view of these encouraging signs, per-
haps even the baleful corset may be forced
to succumb.

Mixed Metaphors.

A mixed-metaphor story was told by the
late A. Nj. Sullivan. When he was begin
nlng his practice in Iceland, he was present
at case where small farmer brought an
actioh against neighborfor alleged malver-
satlon OF three bullOcks. Counsel, a we'll
known member of the circuit, concluded
his speech by saying: Gentlemen of the
jury, 1t will be for you to say whether
TINS defendant shall be allowed to come
INTO court with unblushing footsteps, with
the cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth, and
draw three bullocks out of my clients
pockets with impunity" Westminster
Gazette.
