The main battle for the cause Of a
rational position on horseback for
women was fought when the bicycle
came Into vogue. There was no way

even the most prudish have long since
gotten over the idea that there was
anything immodest or out Of taste in
bicycle-riding for women. The unrea

dashed upon him as he stood and stared
at the round young form In the blue
Bingham gown. How brisk she was.
and how busy! Fitting back and forth
between table and pantry, carrying va
rfOus articles, flour and butter, aud
baking powder, and mixing pan. Then
she was rolling up her sleeves from
round. milk-white arms. and tying on
large snowy apron, and washing her
hands at the sink. He could see how
rosy the cold water made them. and
then how she did attack the task before
her! With the dizziness and rapidity
which evidenced practice and skill she
chopped and stirred. and rolled and cut,
and laid the little round disks In even
rows on the buttered pans. And then
she opened the oven door and put her
hand In to try the temperature, and
nodded as II satisfied, and came back
to the table with her soft cheeks ever
so slightly flushed, and a few loose gold
tendrills finding their way from under
the dainty white lawn cap she wore.
And, as she went back and forth with
her biscuits, and began to clean and put
away the utensils she had used. she
began to sing. The window near the
table was open. Fairleigh could hear
the lifting lines:
My love IL like a red. red rose
That's newly sprung in June,
My love il like melody
That's sweetly played in tune!
A high. rasping voice cut the song
short.

Yhe elderly people of the farm very
well remember when country life had a
larger mix Of sociability among neigh
bors than is the fashion now. They
had plenty of hard work, but 1t was
the regular thing to take day OF now
and then to 60 visiting-not little
formal call, city fashion, but the horses
were stabbed, q chicken was beheaded
for dinner, and while the men viewed
the gtocks and crops the women COM
pared babies, looked ut the new quilts
and made themselves coy in the kitch-
en-. Newspapers were not SO plenty
then, with daily happenings from all
over the world, 80 the neighbOrs
evened up with an exchange of views
On the books they had read, and with
gossipy good time on local affairs.
In addition to the regular round Of day.
light visits. which embraced all the
neighbors Of ones set at least once
year, there were also the evening calls
in winter time. when the farmer and
his wife went across lots to neigh
boris to ''sit until bedtime" This last
program did not include supper. but
simply a merry chat. with apples and
nuts, and all over by 10 o'clock. These
old-fashioned informalities in the visit
ing line were very pleasant In their
time and made friendliness the fashion.
1t did not hurt mite then to take a
friendly interest In your neighbors' wei
fare, and it would not hurt now. But
somehow the older the country gets
the weaker grows our ties of sociabil-
ity; we read our daily papers, watch
the markets, mind our affairs ahd don't
bother about the neighbors. The grange
and the farmers club bring spice of
sociability where the farmers are or
ganized, but will we ever get back to
the good old back-woodsy way of let
ting the farm and kitchen have rest
while We dress up and 80 visiting?

Within q few months thirty-flve wo-
men have been brutally butchered by
men in this country. In each case the
slayer professed to be In love with the
slain and killed her because the feeling
wn not reciprocated. In some cases
the girl had made known to her parents
that threats had been made against
her life and the man had been bound
over to keep the peace. But his bond
was no restraint and he killed her. This
erotic insanity ID the most dangerous
form Of homicidal mania. 1t Is treated
lightly by the law or not at all. 1t
generally appears in persons Of evil
temper and uncontrolled passions, who
are not desirable company for any self
respecting woman. 1t Is becoming too
common. and In default OF legal pro-
lection should be dealt with sternly by
the male protectors Of women. When
these erotlcs are arrested for making
threats their offense is treated all too
lightly. Often the matter is regarded
as a joke. Any man who forces his
disagreeable attentions upon woman
should be isolated and held either in a
prison or an asylum. In 30 per cent Of
such cases the unreciprocated infatu-
ton ends in murder. Women are en-
titled to the most complete protection
against such brutes. The San Fran

dohe 50. They Were without maid.
and she had been compelled to prepare
supper. Not that she really disliked
cooking, as 30 many women averred
they did. She had studied the science,
believing it to be more essential to the
making and the maintenance Of a hap

had seen new look In his eyes-a Look

Fortunately. when he called with his

out. Elsie told him 90. But he had
