LOYAL FRIENDS OF THE HORSE.

IT speaks well for the hearts and heads of New York
] erS that two short editorial articles and cartoon
pleading the case Of the smooth-shod horse should
evoke 50 much active approval as is shown in letters
10 the editor.
The Evening World has preferred to advocate an or
dnance requiring caks or other ant-slp devices prn-
cpaly on the score OF private ana public economy and
efficiency rather than through an appeal to humane
sentiment Numerous words of warm appreciation
show that The milk Of human kindness has not soured
in the big metropolis.
Some readers want horses sharp-shod for their own
sake and as reward for faithful service, whether there
IS any profit in it for owners or not If Aldermen are
amenabe to public opinion horses viii have farer

read your editorial in last nights
Evening World, and you certainly
should be applauded for your effort
TO prevent the terrible cruelties that
are heaped on the poor working horse
in our city.
Any dav, at any time, and in any
part of the city, you will see some
poor horse subjected TO torture OF
some kind and, of course, especially
Curing the cold months OF the year,
am sure, II you would only keep on
again, the people would demand to
have something done to relieve this
awful and inhuman distress.
1t is heartrending to see horses
verburdened and constantly whipped.
/ miserably underfed, slipping and fall
! ing, and not one to raise a hand in
! objection.
At prominent corner to-day I saw
"A poor horse fall and then l saw the
brute OF a driver deliberately jump
off the wagon and kick the horse for
falling.
I should think any human being
would consent to indorse the ordi-
nance you have advocated. hope 10
see you use more pressure, as | am
sure the people would be with YOU.

TIGHT SKIRTS.

Trains have returned to fashion and dancing is being taken up again by swirl of young and middle aged women. The world has always danced when peace prevailed. So dance gowns were ordered by the dozen as soon as the night of darkness turned into the day of sunshine.
 And yet at this very moment long, tight skirts and trains have appear ed. It is true thet the swirling width of material called a train is arranged so that it can be hooked up on the skirt or slipped over the arm by a loop of metal or bead embroidery, but the short,s full skirt which came in with dancing is considered quite out of style. However, women will not find the narrow skirt as difficult to dance in as when an American first brought the ragtime steps from France, for we have diminished the speed and the length of those steps in dancing so that the best dancers rarely move their feet far from each other.
 If all the public dances as the best dancers do, in the correct syncopated way, the tight skirt will be no bar to pleasure.
