was so praised by Mrs. Touchy that the
heiress, more generous than tactful and

bill with the jacket made out in Mrs

The feminine scorcher, says Godey's
Magazine, is not an altogether lovely OBJ
1ect. Unless she intends to be a profess
sional she should leave this form of amuse-
ment to men. A woman with her back
doubled into a bow-knot her hat awry
her hair dishevelled and her face scarlet
with exertion. is neither fascinating nor
attractive. She takes on an anxious, wor-
ried look in her eyes; has her muscles de-
Veloped at the expense of her feminine
grace ana her complexion coarsened by
the rude contact of wind and weather. In
stead of exercise, the scorcher invites ex-
haustion, which is sure to follow in the
wake of fast and fatiguing rides. The
woman who has a passion for scorching
loses half the pleasure of riding, rushing
along without taking time to contemplate
the beauties of nature; the melting hues
of summer sunsets, the charm of the smil-
ing landscape are all lost upon the in
veterate scorcher, whose sole ambition it
is to do so many miles in certain stipu-
lated length of time; besides, she does not
not take near as much care of herself
as the trainer does of a valuable race
horse. She finally breaks down from
sheer exhaustion and decides that her mis-
sion as a scorcher is finished
A chaperon, says the Philadelphia
Times, need not be withered old person
age who frowns upon amusement She
would certainly be out of place if this
were her character. She need not be a
tired mother who feels herself a martyr
to her children and their comrades. There
are mothers who are not tired, whose
health is excellent, whose spirits are not
jaded and who do not wish to be omitted
when the roll-call of pleasure-seekers is
called. But any youthful married lady
may appropriately act as chaperon to
group of young people, as may a digni-
fed spinster, still charming and elegant,
though past her own early youth. And
girls father may chaperon her and prove
most delightful when acting in that ca
pacity.

pen to the best equipped parties. and at
such times a woman of experience and
presence of mind knows precisely what
to do. and TO say, and where otherwise
there would be awkwardness she relieves
the situation. Do not be so selfish as to
drag the weary and overworked mother
into society against her will, but let some
woman whom everybody likes and admires
act in the mothers place.
The bicycle book is the latest, pretty
conceit which will doubtless find favor
with the fair deVotees of the wheel il not
with those of the sterner sex. 1t is intend
| trips, and to record the speed and length
of each ride. Like the address book, and
the calling-list book, which have been
found really useful. this little book is
handmade. The best of paper should be
used and the cover. should be of canvas,
| parchment, or leather. tiny painting
or pen-and-ink drawing Of a wheel, with
| a suitable motto or apt quotation, would
be just right for decoration.
