Horse back riding Is again gaining
favor among some of our ladies. There
have been several riding parties this
past week. Horseback riding is n
Of the most healthful and delightful
OF exercises. A graceful woman never
appears to better advantage than on
a beautiful horse. Among those who
are enthusiasts are Mesdames Walker
Pollock, RI. Carter; Misses Ida Rosa
mond, GuSsie Schopp and Jennie Lari-
more. Several Others are greatly in
terested, but haven't got their habits
yet. Possibly they feel their de-
fciency of good horsewomanship, but
a little practice will work wonders. A
riding club is just the thing.
An excellent Joke is told on n OF
our prominent society men. He was
out calling a few nights ago on his
best friend IA few miles out OF town

The cool evening breezes and the allur
lag old moon tnticed the cou lie oul
on the front porch. But the serene
peace Of the atmosphere vas doomed
for a slight disturbance; for in tn
midst OF peace and q%uietude dow
! came a shower Of flour from above
causing much agitation to the aston
/ ished couple. Suspect for a feV
moments they felt that if they had
/ little powder they would like to II
: turn the favor, but on such occasion
' it's laugh and the world laughs wit
' you; weep, and You weep alone"
