a substitute. For they look as though
they enjoyed to the fullest the freedom
of the out-or-door exercise
Just think how fine it must be to view
the crowds at the Bots from so exalted
a position and to thread ones way along
the wild, green bride paths. and to Stun

a unique variety in habits. Some still

the box-coats are so very becoming TO too
plump figures.

ngureS on the bride path, is certainly the
most graceful rider. She has a host Of
