New Fashions in Watches.

GIRLS are in raptures over the new
watches, which grow smaller and
smaller, being now , microscopic
that they are worn like locket IN the
neck chain. They come in every sort of
design, from those heavily encrusted with
Jewels to the metals without ornamental
ton. and one that would make the heart
of any girl glad is of very thin gold, open
faced, of course, as II these watches are,
its encased side, which is the side to show
when wearing it locket fashion, decorated
by the initial of the wearer done in tiny
t rquoises. A gold and turquoise chain

PRACTICAL TALKS BY THE
APRIL GRANDMOTHER

.<NA ISIS SNAPPE is dead" announced
wv the April Grandmother who had
been scanning the obituary col
umns. "Tender feet spoiled her figure,
features and complexion. No doubt they
were also the cause of her peculiar dispo-
sition. poor dear, for no woman can be
amiable and cheerful while her feet hurt,
Unfortunately, Miss Snappe was just
growing up during the generation when
every American maiden was expected to
acquire small feet if nature had not given
them to her. The modern girl is more SEN
sible than were her grandmothers and
great-aunts. She realizes that to walk
gracefully her boot heels must be in the
natural place instead of under the instep,
and that to force three inch high French
heel to support the entire weight OF
the body pushes the toes to the extreme
tips of the shoes and produces Il limping
gait almost as painful to the observer as to
the self-imposed martyr.
"Broken down foot arches are directly re-
sponsible for many cases of utterly broken
down physique, for the girl who cannot
walk comfortably soon begins TO suffer from
Indigestion due TO ,ack of exercise and
fresh air What is Familiarity known az
'aatfoot is popularity supposed to result
from almost constant standing, but it is
quite as frequently caused by badly fitting
shoes and by improperly placed, shaped
and sized heels A shoe that is shapely
and sufficiently large may not be adapted
to the feet of the individual wearer, while
a heel that is too low in proportion to the
length of the foot will sometimes prove as
disastrous as one that is too high
IAN aching sensation under the instep
arch is a certain indication that the foot
is beginning TO break down, and in order
TO promptly counterfeit that tendency the
general health should be built up and the
arch muscles of the feet strengthened by
walking about the room on the toes or by
rising on the toes and then gradually fall

taught probably all the New York girls
how to handle a four and has been their
instructor in the country runs. For this
reason they are easier to teach than men
and they make excellent drivers when they
get into the swing of it," continued Mr..
Hewlett. "Among the men l have taught
there are not many who like driving down
Fifth avenue or through the crowded east
side streets. They are a little bit nervous
about it, But the girls do not mind the
narrowness of the streets in the least and
they are perfectly trustworthy. no matter
how congested traffic may be- This l con-
slider a good test of horsemanship, and it
is one which every girl pupil is subjected

"Tho real fun of driving a four-in-hand
is not so much TO take out perfectly
trained four. one that goes like clockwork.
but to see what you can do with different
tours. ones that are strange to the driver.
This is the best test of good coaching,
and il is for the sake of this kind of ex-
perience that several young girls and
women have undertaken rather long coun-
try runs. They want to get out of the
beaten tracks, to see unfamiliar roads
and TO enjoy new coaching con ''tions.
The girl, or the man either, for that mat
ter. who really likes is kind of coaching
is genuinely fond of the sport and there
is no reason why he or she should not be-
come an expert whip. Everything is in
the girls favor and she has only to keep
at it long enough TO master the art. Iti
means hard work very often, but it is
worth while. And it has been my expert
ence that girls keep at it harder than men,

ing back on the heels.
IF this treatment does not produce
the desired result the patient should
consult an absolutely reliable specialist,
who will probably recommend either the
adoption Of instep braced boots, adhe-
sive plasters strapped about the feet or
some lotion calculated to reduce the
swelling as well as to strengthen the
muscles of the lower extremities Such
"a specialist will be apt to point out the
faults of the shoes affected by the pa
tient and tell her precisely why they do
not fit her comfortably and whether too
wide or narrow too long or short He
will probably be able to convince her
that it is much better to wear very mar
row shoes that are several sizes longer
than the feet, because they will not
cramp or distort the toes, and that short
shoes are the greatest of all enemies to
the feet, as they produce bunions, which

date you must have some of the
plant around either in pot or window

later to the garden if you wish. The
smart thing is to have 1t in one of the

and women in New York city who
never cease to be loyal to the
sport of coaching and who keep
I'M the interest in this excellent
outdoor exercise by their own en-
thusiasm. They are experts with the
whip, needless to say, and they make
many { terts to this fashionable pastime
among their own set.
At this season of the year they form
striking part of the morning procession
on the avenues and in the park, and their
spring appearance in public is looked for
ward to with considerable interest by
friends and spectators in general The
annual parades have been abandoned. but
those whose loyalty TO a coach and tour
never flags have introduced the idea OF
country drives. and the scheme promises
to meet with great success.
There is no sight more pleasing than
smart coach, four well groomed horses,
scarlet coated guard and the top of the
coach filed with daintily gowned girls
and trinity clad young men. From the
picturesque viewpoint no other type OF
equipage can present the same attrac-
tions. And when the rhythmic gait of the
four is controlled by the slim. strong
hands of a clever girl whip then the
picture is perfect in every detail. 1t never
fails to find favor with the passing throng
Of pedestrians, some of whom look upon
it merely as charming sight, while
others, who are versed in the handling of
reins, are even more appreciative OF Its
good points
G o it is with genuine pleasure that
the public looks forward to the morn
ing trips of these coaches driven by
Young girls and women, though few of
the oniookers understand the details of
learning to handle four horses or to drive
a coach where a change of tours is made
The preliminary lessons are taken first IN
the park, where the girl is taught to pick
up the four reins while she stands at the
side of the wheeler. then she is shown
the correct way to mount to the box.
arways starting with her right foot on the
first step. then swinging with the LEFT
and so on till she is on the box seat.
After this part of the lesson is mastered
holding all four in one hand and guiding
the horses by using system of loops,
= made by the f. hHnG-at least
ii is free except perhaps, for the whip.
Learning to manage four horses, or even
one, is more matter of temperament
than an understanding of loops and sig
nails. Any girl can learn Just how M
inches to slip the off leaders rein to make
a turn, but she may never be able to mr1-
age her horses unless she can think of
them individually and collectively and
keep her own head cool.

There are many girls, however, who,
never having tried to do so, are quite
positive that they never could trim hat
fit to wear. These girls perhaps would
be astonished beyond measure at what
attractive results they would obtain if
they would only once try.

KIT HE crowded city streets and the
park make tame sport compared
with what one gets ir country
runs. especially where the runs are long
enough to require a change of horses.
We have tried runs of more than forty
miles at a time, making nearly eighty--.ve

two men are needed at each change.
Fancy the cost of a coaching tour where
one hundred horses are used, the twenty
five fours being placed in charge Oh nan
hundred men. That was luxurious
sport, yet it has not been unknown among
famous men whips.
\Y/HERE horses are shipped oy ran tha
w road it is necessary to conhne the
route of the coach to the region
traversed by the railroad. and while this
simplifies matters to some extent it is
not always pleasant to have to keep to a
certain course. Sometimes the most beau
tiful scenery lies in another direction. and
this must be sacrificed for the sake of
keeping near ones horses. Many drivers
make this an excuse for using only four
horses and limiting their tours to the
number of miles four can cover COM
fortably
1t is quite possible to send the horses

One of Our Best Girl Whips

on day ahead without utilizing the
railroad. They can be intrusted to men
who drive or ride them to the chosen
point, where they wait until the arrival
of the coach. when they are hitched up
in trice and ready to dash off in place
of the tagged four. The extra horses
are brought back the day after the re-
turn trip is made If the trip is a long one
Where horses are driven fairly hard they
can be counted on to cover about five
miles. With easy driving they can do
double this distance without showing
signs of giving up. But where this
phase Of the sport is followed drivers
are very keen about getting over as much
ground as possible and they want fresh
horses as soon as the ones in harness
begin to show the first signs of fatigue.
Not until this year have girls in this
country tried the changing of horses. To
be sure, they have little 'or nothing to do
with the actual changing, though they
are all interested in the manoeuvre and
would assist in the embarrassing and
Iharnessing if they could, just as men do,
Ifor it is their one great desire to make
the change in the least possible time
and to get away inside of sixty seconds.
To the lay mind minute is far too short
lin which to remove four horses from a
coach and substitute four others, yet it
can be done even quicker than that when
necessity demands. But for average
tours a minute is the usual allowance.
