IS to Insure

The ideal carriage horse is the
American trotting bred horse, with
size, speed, courage, and the true
trotting gait, with plenty of knee and
hook action. In addition he must
have a clean cut head and neck, style
and finish, plenty of substance with
out cOarseness.
Recognizing the demand for this
class of horses, selected Taylor Sim
mons 23489, a young horse which fills
all the requirements of the typical
carriage horse. If the theory that
like begets like' be true, he will
produce horses of this type when
mated with good mares Through his
veins flow the blood of the greatest
trotting families. He traces twice to
George Wilkes and five times to Mann
brino Chief ii. This is backed by the
stout thoroughbred blood of Boston.

SEXES CHANGE ATTIRE.
PLACES WHERE WOMEN DRESS
AS MEN, AND VICE VERSA.
Alpine Dairy Maids, at Their Work,
Wear Masculine Dress, as Do the
Females in the Extreme North
-Brigands i'm Skirts.

There are places in the world
where women dress in mems clothing
and men don women's apparel.
Even in Paris there are women
dressed in cheap, coarse, masculine at
tire, working as teamsters and day
laborers. While it is against the law,
the police wink at the fact and allow
them to earn peaceably their daily
wages.
In Persia, in some of the interior
parts, the women wear the strangest,
oldest trouser garments. They seem
to like them, too, from the fact that
they cling to them in spite of all ef-
forts to make them don feminine at
tire.
Then there are the Alpine dairy
maids who dress as men when they
go about their work and look pretty,
if we are inclined to take evidence
from the numbers of men who yearly
persuade them to cast off their mas
culine dress and put on more cling
ing costumes. But then their eyes are
so bright and their cheeks so red that
they couldn't really look homely in
anything they might choose to wear.
Again, far in the north, where it is
freezing cold most of the time, and peo-
pie dress to be comfortable and not
to look pretty, the women are actual
ly forced into trousers to keep warm.
The ancient women warriors always
wore trousers. But their reasons were
half masculine in manner and appear
ance, and dressed to accentuate their
qualities. They had to make them
selves into fierce looking creatures to
terrify the men on the opposing side,
and from all accounts they succeeded
admirably.
AS for the stronger sex, there still
seem to be men in existence who
wear womens garb and enjoy it. In
certain parts of Greece, Spain, and
Albania there are bands of desperate
brigands who, when they are decked
out for attacks on strangers or neigh
bors, look for all the world like grand
opera ballet girls, in their short,
brightly colored skirts, which are
made very full, and sometimes even
ruffied bit. They seem tremendous
ly proud of their attire, and rival
bands strive to surpass each other in
vividness of patterns and newness of
styles.
