by as strict rule as an officers uni
form; tight fitting dark cloth coat and
shirt Of strictly tailored cut and style,
stiff Derby and small veil, linen collar
or stock. and so forth. Nowadays

felt hat, patent leather tricorne, a
sailor of straw or fur or cloth cap
are worn on the head oftener than the
bowler" the coat may be box, or a

by sweater or flannel shirt in win

is more frequently seen than the tall
ored variety and the habit is of linen
or duck. A girl riding in Topeka yes

proper accoutrements and a well
made skirt and coat wore a street hat
body would be surprised nowadays to
see an esquestrienne in picture hat
covered with flowers and feathers.

There may be some stuck-up people |
from the effete east who imagine that |

The average husband is ruled by fear
rather than love.
A good many people who indulge in
fine writing would be obliged if ask
