 SKIRT. may rido oStride man fashion without fear of criticism is ct hand. The sidrSadtlle has always been d serious handicap. and Miss Woods. an enterprising Chicago woman, has in vented costume which enables her to discard it without dcrngation of her womanly mOdcsty and dignity.
 Tho lower garment of this costume may be called divided skirt, but prac- tically it resembles n pair of very wide trousers. The two skirts. each third of yard in width, are fastened in a belt at the waist, and gathered i'll with n TOW of plaits at the middle of the front and back. These plaits give the divided garment the appearance of n single skirt, and the fullncSS of each skirt at the bottom completes the illu- sion. A panel almost as wide aS the ap- parent width of the skirt falls on each side, from the belt almost to the foot, which adds to the effectiveness and con ventiOnal appearance of the costume when the wcarcr is aStridc a horse The improvement claimed for this costume over the ordinary divided skirt is that there is no clumsy fullness at the bottom. The skirt hangs straight, and is no wid- CT than an ordinary riding habit. It dis plays less of the contour of the figure than the regular costume used with the sideSaddlc.
 Miss Woods introduced the innovation as result of her experience in Palcs- tine. After much discomfort and sever al mishapS i'll riding in dilapidated sidcSaddlc she one day boldly threw her leg acroSs tho horse back and rode that way all day before any one discovered her. Then sho refused to ride any other way, All tho Arabian women ride astridr, and she followed the custom of the country during the rest of her stay there. With the rcmCmhranco of the comfort experienced on that trip she decided to adopt mans fashion in Chi cagu. and did su. with the result that her Cxampl" is being followed by H large and increasing number of women in tho Windy City.

He k but l3 years of age, and his name k Roy Earl York. He k the son If MT. and Mr~. / A York of Warrenshurg Mo.
 Roy Was born at Abilene. Kan, March lI. lS$2. From carly childhood his mind developed strong religious trend. His favurito childish pastime was to play meeting" with his little com panions, and he would not only talk and pray himself, but encourage playmates to do likewise.
 In 1898 the York family moved to Warrensburg. Mo. and ill November of that year the lad. who showed himself to be n boy uf much more than ordinary intelligence, aside from his religious precOcity, was baptized and became a member of the Baptist church under the ministry of Rev. H. A. Slaughter, who seems to have been the first minister to discover Roy s strong inclination toward evangelistic work and gave him every opportunity for labor along religious l lines.
 Roy preached his first sermon on Feb 9, 1894, during revival meeting which was being conducted by the Rev. Mir. l Slaughter uC hnOD NOSteT, QhU. HIS ltAb being taken from the fifty third chapter of Isaiah Considering the extreme youth of the preacher. it is said to have been a good sermon and a great sur prise to all who heard it. He continued preaching at Knob NoSter for several days, attracting large congregations A short time ago the Baptist church of warrsnsburg gave him a license tC preach, though he has not yet been regu' larly ordained as a minister, preferring to wait for that rite until he has com pleted his education. Ho expects to at tend the Southern Baptist seminary al Louisville Since he began preaching he has spoken as various places in Nils. souri and Kansas.
 Roy has just passed his thirteenth birthday and still wears knee brooches and the broad boys collar, which give him a very youthful appearance. Hi voice still retains its childish treble, but is strong and clear.
 In a series of evangelistic sermoni soon to be inaugurated at Pertle Springs Mo. Roy York will be assisted by Rev Erwin F. Leake, aged IT, pastor of th' Baptist church of Mount Carmel. Ills who is the youngest pastor ill the Unitot States.
