STRADDLE ON THE SADDLE.

The following dispatch is sent from
Cleveland, Ohio:
October 19.-The Health Protective
Association here will start a new cru
SADIE this winter. 1t will advocate
divided skirts and mems saddles for
women in riding horseback. Mrs. y.
A. Gilbert, one of the members of the
Executive Board of the Association,
said today: At the next meeting OF
the Association the present harmful
style of women in riding horseback will
be brought up and discouraged. Women
should wear divided skirts and take
the same position on a horse that a
man does. The present side saddle
style is dangerous to women. The AS
ISOLATION will also continue the cru
SADIE against long skirts. corsets and
big hats -
These words must be construed TO be
a recognition of the intelligent con-
women TO hygienic science. Whether
they began to straddle horses at the
command Of one of the old idols now
locked up in the Bishop Museum, under
the fiendish despotism of Prof Brig
ham, or whether they arrived at this
hygienic reformation by a natural in
spiration, is a fact which has not been
discussed by our local historians, and
the Social Science Society has utterly
ignored it. The Advertiser offers the
simple explanation that in the early
days there were no side saddles. and
the women adjusted their limbs to the
situation. that is, to the back OF the
horse. In one respect, whatever the
cause may be, this community has
reached high state of civilization.
and the snuffy foreign critics of our
barbarous ways will please hold theil
peace.
Even the missionary mothers, in the
early days. taking advantage of the fact
that they were ten thousand miles
away from the gossips of New England
found safety and comfort in the strad-
die ride, and encouraged their daugh-
te's to adopt it. There was no more
attractive sight in the ''forties' and
"fifties" than that of three hundred
native women. galloping about the
| town on Saturday afternoons, dressed
| in the pau and decked with leis. The
malihini quickly adopted it, and the adj
vantage of this form of riding are now
beyond dispute.

America shows the force of habit anC
