Alameda , a lovely suburb of San I-Yan-
rlsoo on the cast side of the bay , lia-j ti
club of forty ladiod devoted to horse
back riding. Thirty-six of the number
respect the Hide-saddle and arc shocked
bccaiitO the remaining four have de
clared openly nnd boldly for the clothes
pin stjlo. And what is more , the four
i evolutionists have donned divided skirts
nnd take a dally cantor ever the neigh
boring roads.
The woman who was first bcavo
enough to defy public opinion was Mrs.
] ) ! . Bull. Mrs. Hull is an Hnglish
woman of advanced ideas. She likes to
rlJe and she bellex'es In comfort. One
day she appeared in her divided habit ,
riding in an ordinary man's saddle. Of
f ourso who created a sensation , and the
quiet I'iK'inal hamlet was excited. They
had a new topic for teas and dinners.
But MfH. Hull was not frightened. Soon
Mrs. Dames joined Mrs. Bull nnd there
were tuo comfortable ones. Not very
1 ( ng ago MLss Georgie Elliot and Miss
Gisellu Krugcr made their appearance
in divided bkirts , bo that now there arc
four.
four.Tho
The Alamedans shrug their shoulders
when questioned on the subject and say :
"We used to think it was funny , but we
boon became ut-etl to it. "
The four Indies frequently ride with
their horses abreast. They make a very
good appearance , as all are excellent
riders and sit on their horses much moro
lirmly than is possible in the old-fa h-
ioned way. The ladies say that days in
the saddle do not tire thorn us much as
hours used to when they rode the dilli-
cultand unsafe t > idc-suddlo. They are
accustomed to making country excur-
Hions over bad roads which consume the
whole day , but they loturn fresh from
the jaunt. They say that no one who
has not tried it can imagine the ene
with which one learn * to ride astride.
The polso in the saddle Is much moro
graceful , not half so fatiguing and in
finitely safer.
The costume adopted by these ladies
is as inconspicuous as anything in the
divided line can bo , and 'it is certainly
becoming. The habit is in tuo piece * .
The upper part is the ordinarv tailor-
tnade basque with long coat tulU. The
oklrt is divided and is just long enough
to conceal the feet and stirrups. Ujth
skirts arc full enough to hang well , but
not as full as the ordinary habit , and
the } arc weighted so as not to fill with
the breeze. A mere side view looks
conventional , and the casual observer
would only notice a rather tcant habit ,
but from the front or back it does look
idd. Looking down the street the horse
fccems to bo draped on each side with u
riding skirt. Over their habits thuso
ladies wear military capes of medium
length. These are pretty and becoming ,
i.d float gracefully when the horses go
fast.

My heart aches for n daughter whoso
overanxious parents talk to her as if
all her wants , pleasures and pursuits
wore frivolities , and so to bo condemned ,
fcays a writer in Harper's Bazar. These
things arc so much to young people , and
most girls have HO much in their na
tures besides the trivial surface effer
vescence which sometimes offends ma-
turor persons , because it is so little
understood.
No one who has lived in a largo city
can have failed to t-eo repeated cases
vhero the daughters of u rich man ,
when plunged into sudden adversity ,
throw extravagance and worldliness
from them like a cast-oil garment , and ,
ns true women always do , use tucli tal
ent * as God has given to earn the family
living. No early record of lavish expenditure -
pondituro hampers them then. No remi
niscences of past splendor handicaps
them , and the fact that they were
liberally provided for once does not make
them loss capable -intelligent economy
when the need of it arises.
This on the other side. One of the
most wildly extravagant women in Now
York was the daughter of a missionary ,
who never before her marriage had
owned So. Oppose to that the story of
the wife of a curate who makes a happy
home for husband and children on his
salary of 51i"00 a year , the exact sum
her wealthy father gave as her yearly
allowance before she disappointed him
by marrying against his wishes.
In asking live well reared girls in easy
circumstances to tell me the lowest sum
that will make a In lttlng allowance , my
answers have been $1,000 a year from
t\\o of my coricspondents , ioOU from two
others and SIloU from another. In the
note mentioning the la > t sum the writer ,
knowing my motive for asking , says :
"Don't cut off the 930 and make it WOO ,
for that will mean drudgery and noth
ing elto. "
But u > - the question Is to bo mot and
fairly nn-worcd. I must say that I think
'
SiM ; ( ) will cover the ground'if self-denial
nnd good management are to bo counted
on. Hut in giving my verdict I will add
u recommendation to mercy , and I hojw
every man in good circumstances will
give Jils daughter a larger amount than
I liavo Indicated. Many a parent who
hits never apportioned a systematic al
lowance , and to whom this lump sum
may seem large , may tlnd to his amaze-
jncni on calculation that his actual out
lay has siirpus'-cd it.

One of the principal clubs of St. Louis
includes in Its constitution a bylaw
which provides "That the members ,
wives , daughters and lady friends shall
Imvo the rijrht to enjoy the privileges of
the club , " and by this provision is the
organization distinctive among Its kind.
So generous is the sentiment that one
readily forgives the "lady friends" of it *
wording. The plan to admit women to
the club was at llrst ridiculed , then
bitterly oppo-ed , and finally accepted
. with the proviso that if found detrimen
tal to the interests of the club the women
would meet the fate of the Chinese. But
thoreaults have shewn that what was
considered to bo a doubtful experiment
has been the means of building up an in-
btitutlon the like of which is not to be
found in the country , K > the members
claim. It is the boast of the olllcers that
no woman dwell * in the city so pious that
* mo would not wish to be known i\3n
friend of the club , nor one of the boys
that does not consider It an honor to bo
connected with the club. They have a
membership of 750. a club house valued
at WOO.OOO , a finn library , nnd accommo
dations for 1,000 guests , and the name is
the Mercantile club. There Is n fine
llavorof Utopia in this chivalrous ar
rangement , a murmur of the coralnjj
millennium , when man and woman shall
elt * ldo bv side , "full secured in ull their
powers , " for ninety-nine women out of a
hundred would rather bo u member in
food aud leguiur bluudintf ol a man's
lub than to bo governor o ! her state or
have a seat in the cabinet.

San Francisco artists disagree on the
mibject of the California Venus. They
all declare that the state it full of living
models that would outrival oven the ladies -
dies that lived at Moles , but doubt peems
to lurk in some of the Htudios ns to the
wisdom and propriety of exhibiting this
California beauty at Chicago. There
are those who think it would bo bad
form , however good the figure might be.
Some fear that Chicago would regard
the exhibition as a departure from the
strict line of modesty , even if the statue
wore drap ed in a brown granite robe of
the night. In New York it would bo dif
ferent , the artists say , for Now Yor * has
an art museum that Is open even on Sun
day. And besides , the New York Ideas
in Mich matters are modified by the
proximity to Europe and the Jersey
coast.
Others assert that while the statue
might be entirely within the bounds of
propriety and have spare drapery enough
to make a bathing nuit , it would not bo
becoming for the state to make boastful
protentions about so divine a thing as
woman's loveliness.

There are one or two golden rules in
regard to giving dinners which no ono
can ever do wrong in following. The
dinner should bo unambitious and well
served. Everything should bo hot.
There should not be too much to cat.
and no dinner should last over an hour
or an hour and ten minutes at the out
side. Very few people dine out for the
sake of getting good food only. There
are some houses where one expects , and
where one gets , a dinner to dream of. but
such houses arc few and the ordinary
hostess should content her.-olf by feeling
sure that when her guests leave they
will carry away the conviction that they
have passed an evening which has been
moro than usually pleasant. In France
soeietv meets pleasantly without being
fed. The salon , which gave so much
distinction to French society , was n
purely intellectual meeting where con
versation was the object and the slight
est refreshment supplied all the material
wants of the coterie. Although French
society has altered , still such portion of
it us has title to distinction still adheres
to the old custom.

Mrs. Lovoy Aldrich , who draws her
pension from the Detroit division of the
pension department , is a widow of the
revolutionary war and the war of 1812.
There are eight other revolu
tionary widows in the United
States , but none of them is the
widow of two national wars. Mrs.
Aldrich lives at Seattle , Wash. , having
removed from Michigan some time ago.
Her age is but little o\or ninety years.
Her husband , Caleb vVldrirh , was a pri
vate in the revolution in tno New Hamp
shire and Rhode Island lines. Regi
ments were known as lines back in that
uire. It is believed ho must have joined
the revolutionary army toward the close
of the war in 1783 , when ho was very
young. Something like forty years
later , when his hair wa- . gray with age.
ho met a pretty little maul of very few
summers. The old and young were
wedded. He died and she became a
widow of a revolutionary hero. As her
hair was growing gray she married
Taylor Clark. Her second Husband had
fought in the war of 1812. He died and
the widow of two w ar heroes now draws
a pension of $30 n month from the gov-
ernmrnt. Her case stands alone in the
Unitev' ' states.

Now that the spring is really here ,
according to the calendar , though not
according to the atmosphere , the careful
housewife who runs her family affairs on
systematic principles will soon bo
dragging out the furniture from the
nooks whore it has stood all winter , tak
ing up the carpets and relaying them , or
else replacing them with matting , sub
stituting lighter draperies for the heavy
ones , and , in fact , putting dust nnd dirt
to rout in her thorough and energetic
manner. The time of the annual spring
cleaning has arrived , and the men of the
family wax wroth many times a day as
they stumble over stray articles that
have wandered from their accustomed
places.
It is most commendable to bo a good
housekeeper , but don't bo a fussy one. It
isn't necessary to make every 0110 un
comfortable around you in your crusade
against untidiness , and remember al
ways that but one room at a time can beset
sot in order ; therefore , do not get the
whole house upaet in your zealous ardor.

It is riftnorcd that glossy hair is to become -
come the fashion , and that the sheeny
locks as seen upon the heads of our
grandmothers are coming in again with
the adoption of silk nightcaps. These
caps , it is claimed , absorb the perspira
tion tlia ; weakens the roots of the hair ,
and protect the heads from draughts and
chills that make the hair come out. The
cap is , however , by no means the only
aiient in making the hair soft and shiny.
Constant brushing has quite as much to
do with it , as well as keeping the scalp
clean by an occasional washing with
pure soap and soft water or the white of
an ogg. One of the best hair tonics is
made from rum and quinine. The object
of brushing the hair is not only to stimu
late the scalp and keep it free from
dandrulT. but to keep it free from every
particle of. dust its entire length. For
the latter purpose n brush with closely
' ot bristles is necos-ary.
Itttbios are the most fashionable stones
just now , sot with diamonds. The pure
whiteness of brilliants , unrelieved by
color gems , is less in vogue than of yore ,
and the moit beautiful parures that are
being made are of diamonds , combined
with emeralds , npphircs or rubies , the
last mentioned being mot in demand.
" A brooch in the new donign of a bow.
having a pearl center and a second j > eari
hanging from it aa drop , is very pretty ,
as also is a double crescent or 'bandeau
that , though intended as an ornament
for the hair , forms a very pretty shoulder
knot , while a fan , which when'closed re
sembles a rounded tortoise shell slick
that is simply incruatcd with diamonds ,
is so beautiful that anyone would feel
disinclined to unfurl it , but would rather
suffer agonies of heat than open the glit
tering toy.
The fancy for buttons with odd devices
is revived for handsome gowns , espec
ially those with Dlrectolro coats and
waistcoats. These vary from patterns
of cut metal , matching gold , sliver and
eopjxsr bronee passementeries , to styles
ns costly as real gem > - . Some are ex
ceedingly elegant and artistic in gets ,
both large and ( .mail , made of gold , sil
ver and other genuine metals , and
tinted in rich colorings of vines in re
lief , or set with bits of glittering , half-
precious jowola. There are many at
tractive buttons in faceted silver ,
mothor-o'-pearl , hammered gold , chafed
copper and Mexican onyx , with gold set
tings , showing heads of Lcander , At-
ulanta , Paris , Hero , Priam , Penelope ,
etc. , in moonstone , agate , caiueo and
vari-eolored enamels.
You can toll pretty well how a girl
feoU toward you by the way she takes
your arm. If she doesn't cure a cent ,
you know It by the Indifference of her
mu&cloa. It she has great confidence in
you , the pressure tells it ; and friendship
Is as distinct from love in that mode ot
expression as In words -and looks. A
woman can taku the arm of a fellow oho
likes very much with perfect comfort
oven if she is six feet high nnd ho four.
But oven if the two are just matched ,
she can make him feel disdain , can-
tempt , discomfort , dislike , anything she
likes , by the way she does not hold on to
him.

The English \Vbmun > Year Book , In
Its review of woman's work , states that
the demand for woman lecturers on
almost all questions of practical value is
steadily increasing. With so many ad
ditional openings with remunerative
employments , the editor congratulates
the community on the disposition in-
crea < * ingly apparent among young
women to be content with a single life ,
and admit * her surprise at the Incjn-
slstency with which this tendency has
leen reprobated by the very persons
who at other times are given to deplore
the overpopulation of the country.

Slippers laced with ribbin to imitate a
sandal effect are worn with empire
gowns.
Husband Did'nt you promise to obey
me at the altar ? Wife Yes ; but we're
not there now.
A sword hilt is Used a a brooch. The
guard Is of small gold wire , with u stone
or pearl in the center of each.
Cupes of all sizes and shapes are very
fashionable. The handsomest of these
reach considerably below the hips.
Wide-brimmed hats with an abund
ance of ostrich-plume trimming will bo
popular for spring and early summer
wear.
The statement that corsets are found
on Egyptian mummies is conclusive as
to their danger. Not a single mummy
of them all is alive.
Sleeves continue to bo as dressy ns
ever , and in the latest gowns from Paris
the pull droops slightly , though they
grow in width accordingly.
One of the new Ideas is a black satin
bodice and a skirt of some dark , rich
cloth. Indeed , black satin as u waist
material is quite to the fore.
Wool bengalino is a material of rich
ness and refinement that has become
very popular this season. It is soft and
lustrous in appearance and drapes grace
fully.
The latest fad in hair dressing is a
cleverly contrived wire frame , upon
which u crimped switch can bo easily
arranged into a light and graceful

There is a rumor in the fashionable
world to the effect that petticoats arc to

si/.e. made of silk or satin and trimmed
with lace.
The old fashioned rolled hem , held in
place by blind stitches , is used for the
lower edge of the fashionable flounce ,
while the upper edge is u standing rufllo
of the material doubled.
A striking innovation in some of the
new importation is overskirts. These
nt present are generally split up in front
or at the sides to show the bell skirt be
neath. They hang perfectly straight.
The young woman of the day scarcely
considers herself up to the times if she
does not possess a number of waists
entirely unlike any of the materials in
the skirt with which she wears them.
'White will be very generally worn
during the coming summer. Pretty
simple dresses of white linen-lawn , with
hem-stitched tucks and hems , will bo
quite the thing for dainty young ladies.
Among elegant novelties in spring im
portations are skirt fronts nnd very wide
shoulder sections of the most elaborate
embroidery. Indeed , some of these'
trimming * are not very far from the bar
baric.
New card cases for my ladj are in
very delicate colors , heliotrope the
favorite , and the dearest little strap on
one side for holding a bunch of violets
or u rose. A dainty touch to the visiting
toilet.
Eton and Russian jackets appear to bo
in as great vogue as ever. Some of the
now short jackets , girdles and yokes are
outlined with soutache braid , and the
skirts en suite show a bordering of nu
merous circling rows.
There is a tendency toward the re
vival of skirt draperies , but it remains
to be seen whether they will bo gener
ally adopted. Plaiting * are noticed but
little among the new spring cDstumes
except upon the edge of the skirt.
The chignon , which in the past has
companioned the hoop skirt , has made
its appearance as the Rossetti knot.
There is , however. In this case nothing
in a name , as the inartistic excrescence
is nothing more nor less than the old
chignon revived.
One of the handsome spring fabrics is
the Rochemont weave , u very fine
woolen rep , with a dot of silk of an
other color , which , though of pure wool ,
is remarkable for its lightness. It is
used extensively for both entire costumes
and in combination.
A lovely morning gown for a bride is
of heliotrope cashmere with short zouave
jacket of white guipure lace. It is con
fined nt the waist with white velvet rib
bons. For a simpler gown a striped
pink and gray French flannel with pink
and gray ribbon is pretty.
Style in blouse waists is largely a mere
question of sleeves. Bv renow-ing the
sleeves of a last year's dress you may bo
in the fashion at very little expense.
Leg-of-mutton sleeves are in favor.
They cannot be too large , nor can the
shoulders appear too wide.
A favorite trimming for Lenten toilets
of back armure. faille and Victoria silk
is finely watered moire Francais. These
trimmings consist of n single extra wide
band or several narrow bauds around
the bottom of the skirt , with the addi
tion of full sleeves , cuffs , plastron and
Empire girdlo.
Fashion this season smiles approvingly
on all eccentricities in broadening the
feminine shoulders with lace , velvet ,
pulls , rovers , brotelles , capo-collars and
all sorts of wide-spreading elegances ,
until the slimly gored portion of the fig
ure looks inadequate to bear the weight
of all its under magnificence.
Serges , reps and diagonals are among
the importations. The coarser the
weave of stult the moro fashionable , ex
cept in the case of the always handsome
lady's or faced cloth which comes in ex
ceptionally rich colors and in the highest
priced qualities there U , a line of tones
absolutely unattainable in other goods.
Sleeves are running to extremes. The
wider they are , nnd the farther they
can project out from the shoulders , the
bettor the wearer seems to like it.
When they are not prominent enough ,
the effect is enhanced by cape-collars
made of stitf material that set out ever
the shoulders like the eaves of u house.
Diamonds and pearls are giving way
for ordinary wear to less ox { > cnslvo
stones. The aquamarine , chrysophrase
and topaz are specially popular. The
settings nro plain but substantial. This
is a much-to-bc-commondod fashion.
Precious stones have their place in full
dress. The o others are much more ap
propriate for moro ordinary wear.
In thin silks the newest are satin fin
ished and are printed in striking effects
of colors. Persian and chintz atternsp
are much less seen , and small designs
well scattered over a delicately tinted
ground seem favorite designs. Oadino
bilks and the benglalne with irregular
stripes and tufts and Muscovite , a repped
silk with very broadvjtxle , will bo much
en evidence In the oming seasons.
