ing the decadence of the wheel. Agentle-
man and lady journeying from Boston to
northern Vermont on horseback, took din
ner at Hotel Alstead one day recently.
The young lady said she had wheel at
home that she rode on short trips, but said
'tgive me horse and saddle for long
journey as it gives one such opportunities
to study the beauties Of nature" She
wore divided skirts and rode man fashion.
She could easily mount and dismount alone
and gracefully. She had perfect control
of her horse and seemed to be at home in
the saddle. They rode from South Stod-
dard the morning they were in Alstead and
said Springfield, Vt, would be their next
stopping place.
