1 vuxw HERE are two really beautiful things in the world-one is a | horse; the other is a woman | The difference between them | is not in the sleekness of their skins,
 the brightness of their eyes or the feet
 ness of their feet, but horse is never l deceitful. A woman-well, you know about thatl Now comes the time Of
 year when the girl who for three
 months has been designing gown for
 the horse show has the great pleasure
 of appearing in it and hoping that she
 has made every other look like an "also
 ram by it. New to you? Well, 1t may be- but 1t is the latest slang among the
 horsey women, who have pleasant llk- | ing for their husbands, real love for | their children, but an adoration for their dumb pets.
 The horse show in New York might be
 called he flower show of women, for
 there are all kinds and conditions of 1 the fair sex. There is the dignified, elderly lady, who uses a diamond stud- ded lorgnette and looks with scorn at | the pretty soubrette surrounded by | crowd of admirers, wondering to one elderly beau who that creature can l be. There is the nouveau riche, who
 
 the show and has not learned that dia-
 monds in daytime are like unto even | ing clothes before 6 o'clock.
 | There is the belle of the season. She
 comes from the land of beautiful horses and lovely women (not to mention. the | fine whisky)-Kentucky And when you
 are told of the position she occupies you look out for velvets and laces and | frills and frivols, but instead, knowing | that her broadcloth and the horses
 skin must shine alike, she wears tai | Tor made gown of very dark blue cloth
 made almost brilliant with small red
 buttons and having on her head what l her English cousin calls her game | hat" She has come to see the horses | The men are all very well at night, | when one sits in box, looks ones best
 and is ready afterward to go to sup
 per. But the afternoon brings out the | girl who knows the points of horse, | the girl who knows how to ride. When | at home, she stands and chatters on the
 big, broad veranda, while the gentle | men are buttoning their gloves, and then she puts out that dainty foot with | a charming nonchalance to the nearest man, who gives her lift as she springs and gets into her saddle like bird. | Truth to tell, the lady would rather have the groom to lift her than gen. | tleman because he knows his business. 1 When this girl from Kentucky patted | her horse on the neck, the horse raised | it's head and it's eyes frightened, as if | to say: Look at me. I am the very perfection of perfection, and look at this lady, whose cavalier I am. She is as good-afmost-as I am."
 ruI- <~;x Dalr was wearing patriotic badge, now has pinned high upon her shoulder, where there is one white orchid, horsy pins to l hold it in place There is the pin that stretches almost, across the bodice, rep
 resenting a four-in-hand, with it's | horses of diamonds and the coach of
 sapphires and rubies There is the winner himself Bless you, he is cut | out of diamonds, with his jockey on | him, showing his colors that are of | some great house of Scotland. There | is the girl who does not care for horses | (can such a girl exist?) and whose | brooch is a miniature bike, formed of i diamonds, with frame of gold; there | are parrots with bodies of diamonds | and heads of rubies; there are pigs formed entirely of diamonds, and there are woolly dogs, sporting dogs, and, best of all, there is fox. Oh, how he l does run!
 | There is not woman at all this l function who knows of good form who would dream of wearing flower pin, 1 a fancy brooch of any description or. in I fact, anything with her cloth gown but I a sporting pin in the afternoon.
 i In conspicuous box. laced so tightly that she can scarcely move. is the last | divorcee. She looks happy. Probably she is, but, thank goodness, we are put ting divorce out of fashion and soon 1 marriage = good old marriage - will come in again, and people will learn to love. honor and obey forever and
