woAIES's CROSS SADDLE RIDING CLUB.
ladies had not adopted the cross saddle
and made it the vogue. They began il
some twenty years ago, tentatively at
first, in the neighborhOOd Of Asheville,
\. c., it is said. Ladies belonging TO
hunting and rode to hounds. Then
some braver ones, attended by their
husbands, rode to the hunt astride, in
divided skirts. Having just once eman-
cipated themselves from the dangerous
long skirt and the unsafe sidesaddle,
they never went back to these again,
but gave the native mountaineers
around Ashevllle a thrill that was not
unakin to horror by galloping astride
on horseback up hill and down dale
through their country. Returning
north to their rural homes in the vicin-
ity OF New York city, the same ladies
brought the fashion of cross saddle rid
ing with them, and there, too, they
galloped in the same fashion over the
smooth Long Island and New Jersey
roads.
These ladies usually ride in divided
skirts. Each half of the garment is
somewhat full, like a skimp and short
riding skirt. When the rider is mount
ed, she seems to have a skirt on each
side, but that Is the only respect in
which her appearance differs from that
of the ordinary woman on horseback.
1t is probable, however, that this full
and somewhat loppy double skirt will
In time give way to the still safer and
more convenient knickerbOckers and
top boots for women equeStriennes.
Several of the braver women of the
New York so called Four Hundred al
ready ride to the hunt in this pctur-
esQue costume.
At Hackensack, n. j., is a wOman's
divided skirt riding club. Horseback
riding Is much the vogue in the beautl-
full country thereabouts. The wOmen's
club, whose members belong to the best
social circle, includes some forty or
more ladies enthusiastically devoted to
equestrian exercises and to their espe-
cial system of training. The teacher
OF the ladies is a former United States
army cavalryman. He is one of those
rare spirits found now and then, born
horseman, one who seems able natural
ly to do anything that can be done with
or upon horse. The magnificent horse
manship of the soldier attracted the
ladies' attention, and they begged him
10 become their teacher. He is train
ing them as United States cavalrymen
are taught. The women saddle and un-
saddle, blanket and unblanket their
own steeds, lead them into and out of
the stable, learn to halter them; also
the much more difficult feat Of throw
ing" the animal-that is, lifting his
fore foot and making him lie down.
These lady riders have developed q
fine muscular power and activity. They
vault from the ground into the saddle
and from the saddle to the ground
without assistance. No need of a horse
block have the members Of this divided
skirt riding club. The dean and chap
eron Of the organization is white
haired woman Of seventy, who is as
spry as any The youngest member is
a little girl of ten. JANE STORY.

How TO Cream Butter and Sugar

1t is not necessary that any special
tool be invented for creaming butter
and sugar. Heat the bowl in which the
work is TO be done by putting boiling
water in it just long enough to warm
the bowl, but not long enough to make
1t hot on the outside. Beat the butter
in this warm bowl with n wooden
spoon. 1t will be reduced to a cream In
a moment or two, and then stir In the
sugar, and the two will form an even
cream.

The Sabbath as a religious institution

a Batylonian prototype, not, however,
as a day of rest from labor, but as a

GUS rites and by observing certain re-
stricted regulations. the anger of the
