She SAID she was never happy unless her rooms

When he asked what Testaurant she preferred

wearing apparel. We are hearing from

to be behaving-and dressing-themselves
like gentlemen once more. 1t is pleasant
hearing. We have every sympathy with
wealthy people who try hard to find some
interest in life. Especially does our COM

unkind nature the ability to do anything
useful or important in the world, are
forced to content themselves with fads

HER COUTURE COST HER JOB
Woman In Government Printing Office
Refused to Modify Her Style
of Hairdressing.
New York Times

young woman employed in the govern
ment printing office has been removed from
her job because Of her way Of dressing her
hair. 1t appears that she was employed once
before and II was found that her theories Of
hair-dressing were incompatible with the re-
quirements Of the government service. She
was removed, but later was reinstated under
an erroneous impression that her views on the
couture issue had undergone modification.
The foreman of the press room. where she
has been working. called her up the other
day and told her that she must part either
with her style Of hairdressing with her
job. 1T seriously interferes with your work,
he said and prevents your doing your duty
to the government satisfactorily"
The young woman appealed the case to Oscar
]. Ricketts, private secretary to the public
printer, who is temporarily In charge OF the
department in the public printers absence.
Ricketts,, Ifs that your hair interferes with
the feeding of the presses and causes the
spelling of many sheets of paper"
He declined to interfere, and the young
woman became jobless and is still that way.
There is no other complaint against her, and
should she submit to operation on her
tresses. she will be promptly reinstated.
Hitherto she has declined
sphinx-like silence about the exact style
Of hairdresslng and the way in which II inter
fered with her work is preserved by the Off
Gals OF the department. In consequence OF
this reserve, two stories are current. One is
that her hair was blown about by the wind
and got the paper, and the other is that
her style of hairdressing was so unique and
attractive that her fellow employees were I'M
able TO keep their eyes of her and that hence
their work. not hers deteriorated. Neither OF
these stories can be confirmed.

Nurses Lives Unromantlc.

New YORK Times.
It is generally supposed that there is a good
deal OF romance about the life Of a professional
nurse and that large hospitals are matrimonial
bureaus where men and women fall In love
with incessant regularity. Exactly the opposite
is true. Nurses, as a rule, do not marry men
whom they have nursed as patients, nor do
they select as husbands the physicians with
whom they come in contact in professional
way
In the last year and half but one engage
ment among the nurses Of the Chicago hospital
has been announced and the incident was so
unusual that Il created no end Of comment.
The affair was. in fact. an extreme novelty,
although the female attaches Of the institution
unusually good locking.
This proves the nurses do not lead the
romantic lives that they are credited with by
the outside world" said a physician. Il have
frequently heard It said that men who have
been seriously i'll often married the trained
nurses who had taken care OF them. This is
nonsense. 1 have employed hundreds of these
nurses in the course Of my practice, and have
yet to hear OF match resulting from one Of
them. AS a general thing the patient takes an
aversion to the nurse who has cared for him,
and the better she has looked after him and
the more strictly she has enforced the doctors
Instructions the less he has cared for her.
physicians sometimes fall In love with the
nurses they meet in their practice, but such
AFFAIRS, instead of being common, are rare. II
any girl enters the profession with the idea Of
capturing husband she Is apt to find herself
sadly sold"

SHOULD WOMEN RIDE ASTRIDE
Experience and Opinion Of an English
Traveller and Horsewoman.

years of age and astride at seventeen, ana

die is the one prefer on every count.
Personal experience must be personal at
the risk Of being egotistical. and, there

may remark that girl and / once rode
163 miles in three days and few hours In
Iceland. with tents for our night shelter
and a shakedown of hay for our couch.
There were no roads, and the ponies con-
stantly forded rivers or climbed volcanic
rocks. Such a journey would have been
well-nigh impossible in the time on side
saddle, but was barely fatguing to the
rider when properly balanced in natural
position.
That mans seat is the proper one is
surely manifest; otherwise. why do all the
men in the world, including soldiers,
mount astride?
Not only is 1t a natural pose. but 1t is
easy to mount or dismount. If a horse
falls the male rider can extricate himself;
but supposing an animal stumbles over
some mountain path, and precipice
yawns below on the near side, over goes
the lady equestrian to sudden death, with
the horse on top of her. Again, in the
case of fall in the hunting field the wo
man may be caught up and dragged to her
death, the man almost never; he is more
easily unseated, and therein lies his safe
ty.
Good equestrians ride almost entirely by
balance They do not grip except when
necessary for the security of their seat.
This applies to both men and women, but
in the case of women 1 thinK II necessary
for their safety when on a mans saddle to
have rolls on the flaps as Australian
bushmen or American cowboys Invariably
do. These add to the safety Of the seat
and are not unsightly. A womans build
demands this slight extra support, which
some men now do without.
OF course. no woman can ride big-bar-
relied horse, as her legs are shorter than a
mans; but, luckily. in such wild countries
as Iceland, Morocco and Mexico, where
have put cross riding to The practical test,
horses are all small or well-bred, with
high withers and narrow chests.
