RIVAL RIDING HABITS; THE LONG AND THE SHORT

key to success" The outline of her
methods is interesting.
Early in August she plans her winter
Wardrobe. An announcement from her
particular shop of the first display of
wooden fabrics brings her to town from
seaside or mountains. Once she de-
cides upon the material for her tailor
gown, she strolls off to the silk counters
in search of something fit for a dinner
frock; then she visits the department
of chiffons to select stuff for new the
ater bodice. Armed with this outlay,
she makes straight for "Felice," who
fixes the date for fitting all Innings two
days later, and on the fourth the ma
tron is again in the bosom of her fam
lily. Consequently, six or eight weeks
later madame, in the latest. bows
serenely right and left as she threads
her way through the struggling fem
mime contingent crowding modiste par
lors or shops, conscious of her superior
ity. She has been saved these petty an
noyances by following her sensible Gus
tom. The few articles mentioned by no
means constitute the seasons pur-
chases, but, as madame says. tide you
over the rush and thus enable yourself
to shop scientifically" She has provid-
ed herself with new street frock, a

over this and determine what she needs
to buy. Supplied with the few things
already mentioned from the field Of
fashion, she does the rest of her shop
ping quite leisurely. Invariably her
wraps are selected from stock on hand,
and her hats consume not more than
days consideration. Madame in the
meantime places her order for two or
three handsome garments for evening
and day wear. She is close follower
of fashion and believes in adding to the
wardrobe as the season advances. To
select an entire wardrobe at the begin
ming from the first models shown is a
mistake many women make, hoping
thereby to obtain exclusive styles.
This, my informant declares, is the
height of folly Couturiers abroad are
never idle and send over weekly INSTALL
ments of newer fashions, hence If a wo-
man would be regarded as up to date
she must be alert and contribute free
quently to her clothes possessions.

my friend on horseback cantering

I think you, like myself, would be pre-
pared to Join forces with her on almost
any proposition, so good to look upon
is she. Horseback riding is being re-
stored to favor in the millionaire COL
ony. which truth is responsible in a
measure for the stunning but simple
riding habits one is called upon to de-
scribe. Paris and London are divided
in their opinions regarding the long or
short coat. In consequence both are
seen. and the supreme popularity Of
either is not yet an accomplished fact.
In England long coats, measuring Is
inches below the waist line, are affect
ed by the hunting crowd. These may
be either single or double breasted, as
the wearer chooses. They are fitted
close over the hips, with darts extend
ing from the bust to the extreme edge
of the garment, and "man's overcoat
finish" at back. English women are
taking enthusiastically to Oxford grays,
though black habit cloth continues in

satin are made In the same style. The
linen chemisettes are embroidered,
tucked, or made perfectly plain.
The boots are combination of patent
leather and French kid. They, are very
high, reaching quite to the equestrian
tights. which come below the knee.
The tights, by the way, have entirely
superseded the old fashioned riding
trousers. They are Of elastic webbing
and tie about the waist and below the
knees with satin ribbons.
The belt, which is extremely dear to
the heart of the feminine rider. Is OF
leather. with clasps Of leather on the
side. Crash lie also used for riding
belts, and handkerchiefs of grass linen
which match the belts in color accom-
pany them.
However high cuban feeling may
have run. Spain has admirers for it's
styles, and the rcut of innumerable
Spanish troops has no effect upon the
wearing of the Spanish comb. 1t is, in
fact, more conspicuous than ever be-
fore. both because of the frequency with
which 1t is worn and Its imposing pro-
portions.
The plain, highly polished tortoise
shell comb that Carmen made popular
has given place to an deliberately carv-
ed affair. A comb, measuring at least
four INCHES across the top and three
from its upper edge to the teeth, is cut
in design as minute and as fine as
filagree silver. Another enormous at
fair divides at the base into trefoil,
each part Of which Is beautifully cut.
Not even the ever present fiuffs of tulle
could conveniently or comfortably
perch above the spreading expanse Of
tortoise shell.
1t is yet hard to determine which
will be most in vogue. cashmere or the
new soft, wide vale serge. The latter
is beautifully woven and will cling
quite as tenaciously as the silky hem
riettas which were the pronounced
success OF the waning season. 1t will
be a matter merely of individual pref
erence, as the wearing qualities are
about on a par. Dress waists and skirts
of like material in different colors are
advised by the oracles of fashion. For
instance, a cocoa brown serge skirt has
a dull blue, tight fitting basque coat to
! be worn over cream white waistcoat
fastened with silver ball buttons, and
| a black skirt stitched In white has a
| similar bodice In ivory white broadcloth
to be worn over a cardinal vest.
/ 1t is not surprising that in the mil
linery region the hat trade is thriving,
for never before were the styles more

HOW TO SELECT IA. HAIRBRUSt1.

.NOOD hairbrushes can be bought
4 for less today than ever before.
j The Importance of knowing how
to select a brush is very great, for
badness and other scalp troubles may
often be traced back to the use of an
improper hairbrush. Women who
brush with long, strong bristles, be-
cause the short. soft ones do not pene-
trate the hair. The difference in flex-
Utility is very noticeable between
what are known as live and dead
bristles. The former are plucked
from the hog while 1t is still living,
while the latter are taken from it's
body after death, when 1t is neces-
sary to scald the skin to remove them
easily. Most brushes are manufac-
tured from the bristles Of the hog.
Brushes are backed with ivory, sill
yer, ebony. sandalwood. celluloid.
satinwood, whitewood and olivewood.
Celluloid, I need not say, is too
inflammable to be safe for use.
Brushes with short, stiff bristles are
the sort to select for men who
have thick hair. and medium brushes
are the thing for people with thin
hair. but for bald heads secure soft
brush. Small, soft brushes are sold
for bangs, the hair of which is finer
and thinner than the main crop. Mus
tache brushes for men are provided
with long, stiff bristles.
No one can get along without con-
slant use Of the hairbrush. A hun

great karroos; no wonder the faces Of
the women take on that vacant, inn
passive expression. The life of the Boer
housewife of the better class is almost
colorless. She rises with the rest Of
the family at daylight, and. after a
chapter from the Bible read by the
male head of the house, a basin and
towel are passed around to the. MEM
bers of the family by one OF the Kafflr
maidservants. Each one dips a corner of
the towel into the water and carelessly
brushes it over his or her face. Then
the hands are dipped in the water and
dried and the basin and towel are pass
ed on to the next one. In the Trans
wall cleanliness is not regarded as next
| to goodness. After this breakfast is serv-
ed. 1t is often eaten in the Kitchen and
/, is prepared by the Kaf1ir servants out
doors while the family was at its de-
votions, for the Beers believe that the
black people are descended from apes
and do not need salvation"
| When the family is gathered about
the table. on which there is always a
/ large,dish of meat. a long grace is said.
| Only the men are served at this first
table: the women eat alone. During
| the grace all eyes are fixed on the meat
dish. and every man firmly grasps his
fork as he makes mental choice of the
| piece he wants. The moment the
4 "amen" is said every one makes jah
at the portion he has selected, and in
case two have fixed upon the same
piece 1t is the most dexterous that bears
off the prize. For breakfast there is
nothing but meat with bread and
\ butter served with coffee, the staple
beverage Of the Beers.
When the meal is over, the housewife
ensconces herself beside little table
in the window Of the living room. A
shining coffee urn stands on the table
and from this the vrouw now and thel

they contemplate relinquishing their contract.
They state that they never entertained

throw up their contract. They do not know how the
rumor originated. but it is believed that it was
started in the office OF the District Superintendent
of Street Cleaning.
