Nude Nymphs In Rye Astonished
 Good ToWnSfoIk

Rye, N. r., Aug. 22-Those art crit ics who, whenever they contemplate the late Mons. Bouguereau's picture of the satyr and the nymphs rail at the selfishness of the artist in never hav- ing communicated to his fellow men the name of the village near which they might find the pool will enjoy hereafter the profound sympathy of Rye, who either overslept this morning or for some other reason failed to see something which even in a busy place happen again while this generation survives.
 For the dim days of earliest Greece were recalled here early yesterday morning by two young women, who wearing only flowing linen robes and top boots rode into town on curvet- ting horses and assuaged thirsts at a tavern, hard by the railroad station. Gentlemen who were there to see re- port one of them as having been plump and the other bumper. It is declared also that uncertainty as to how much Or how little they wore when they first appeared became cer- tainty when they pulled up at the tavern door and one of them sprang off her horse and the other fell off.
 Who the young women are remains in doubt, although there are those in Rye now who are guessing shrewd- ly One had fluffy blond hair like spun sun1ight-it was falling down her back-and the other was brunette of the pronounced type, hair like the ravens wing, eyes like jet, and so on.
 It is assumed that some sort of wager in some country house between Rye and Harrison must have been the moving force that supplied the early watchers with this spectacle of girlish fun or reproduced a chapter from the innocent age. Incidentally those sta- tisticians of equestrianism who have described the cross seat since it's first introduction to this country were jus tified in their contention that Nature never intended the feminine knee for contact with saddle flap. This from the fact that the girl who fell off at the saloon door displayed in falling pair of wrathful red saddle gals. She was the bumper one.
 WORE LINEN BUSTERS.
 It was while certain debaters of the committing fraternity were selecting topics for argument from the morning papers that the two women on horse back appeared All discussion stop ped at once and everybody quoted that antique saw concerning the feli- city of the early bird.
 Meantime two horsewomen rode up
 
 above a patent leather top boot, and above that the long skirts of linen clusters that were tenacious from long riding and indicated contour irresisti- bly, At the ''V'' necks of the riding coats instead of hunting stocks the riders showed round, firm throats only. It was observed that the plump CT one had two throats. This observa- tion was verified later when she par took of two highballs to her compan- ions one.
 First. having sprung and rolled off their horses as aforesaid. they ad- dressed themselves to the front door of an ice cream parlor. Learning that nothing stronger than sweet soda water was sold there they repaired to a saloon. There they informed the intelligent barkeeper that they wanted highballs and they got them They conveyed the same to the same person sev- eral times after that and each time were served with alacrity.
 Ultimately before riding away they expressed themselves as having enjoy ed their mornings ride greatly and were helped to mount their horses by the barkeeper. He, worthy man, was compelled to return to his station to wait upon a committee of citizens that had crowded in, but as the two women rode away, the plump one kept the plumper one from falling off her
