Little Bermuda Farms.
rom Country Life In America.

FROM country Lie IN America.
Farms in the Bermudas are only tiny de-
tached fields in the pleasant hollows where
the accumulation of vegetable matter AMI
of washings has made a shallow soil. In
these little islands one sees fields from the
size Of a parior floor to that of two acres
the latter size being uncommon. It Is
strange enough 10 the visitor from more am
bilious lands to see patch of onions or
lilies or potatoes only few feet square
bravely asserting its Importance In some
front yard or by the highway.
But although these Fields are diminutiye.
they are numerous, and the combined out
put makes up q large trade in Bermudan
products in the New York markets. for
probably nine-tenths Of the produce. except
bananas, finds market there in spite OF
the duties The lands vary wonderfully In
price-from very little for the exposed ele-
vations to $500 per acre for good pieces Ia
the little wales. The high price of these
pieces and limited amount OF land on the
islands-there are less than ten thousand
acres all told-has enforced q very high
state OF cultivation OF the lands The islands
comprise series OF smart garden hollowB:

Women Who Ride Astride.


Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock. jr.. one of the
first American horsewomen to ride astride,
would not think CT again using the side
saddle. 1t Is her experience that the cross
seat affords q more perfect balance and
poise, L. safer and more comfortable for
both horse and rider. and she believes that
II is only fear of cutting a ridiculous figure
that keeps the true horsewOman from as
Stunning the cross seat. Many women are
in favor Of the change but have not sui
hcient courage to appear In public In this
as yet unorthodox manner; still they feel
II to be merely q question OF time when 1t
will be the only way. AS a young girl Mrs.
Hitchcock was noted for her devotion I'd
the various forms OF sport participated In
by her brothers. and the spirit Of emula-
ton thus fostered has placed her well I'd
the fore as q representative sportswoman.
When in the saddle she has ali the appear
ance Of a graceful youth of sixteen, her
dark hair coiled beneath her broad SOM
brero. A bit Of red at the throat finishes Off
her costume, which consists of loose belt
ed blouse and either knickerbockers or a
divided skirt. Little did Anne of Bohemia,
consort of Richard III. realize in 1911 for
how much she would be responsible. Nat
urally. the preJudices of five and a half
centuries are not easily dispelled, although
until that period no woman had ridden
otherwise than astrfde. Ii was not choice,
but necessity arising from a physical in
trinity. which impelled that royal lady to
assume position in the saddle which. at
first adopted by her encourage as q novel;
ty. was followed by women throughout
Europe as the proper mode of riding.
