A a crmeequence many women of th
tyjuntry olnhe are now practicing target
ahoottns and some have become quits ex

pionship lout May at the traps of the New
York Athletic club, at Travera Island, Mrs.
Parks handled her Rim in very creditable
atyle.
These are the days when the horsewomen
throng Into Central park. New York
women always ride In a side anddle, and
they pay the top prices for their riding
habits, the best of which are designed In
farts and not In London, despite the glories
f Rotten IJw. Within a noason or two
the fashion of riding astride has grown
Into favor In New York, those to lead In
It being In the first place we. tern women.
The Wild West shows served to Introduce,
riding astride to New York women, but
About Women in the Home and Business World
Rasrless Insinuation Brushed.
ET the world of women rejoice.
Another baseless assault on the
sex has been rocked to Bleep.
Jll A report has been widely puD-
i llshed that the Colony club of
New York City, composed exclusively of
women, sought to secure a license to sell
liquor in the club rooms and that It was
unable to secure the precious document
because the club building was within less
than i-fO feet of a church a distance In
whlrh saloons are prohibited by law. This
gave color to the suspicion that members
desired a tipple stronger than tea. lemon
phosphate or soda cocktail, and provoked
solemn dissertations on the intemperance
of woman. Meanwhile members of tho
rlub went on with their duties and pleas
ures, regardless of the fears and anxlotles
of those who are not happy unless prying
Into other peopli 's bunlness. They were
not thirsty for strong drink. The club did
not seek a license. In fact the mem
bers. sensible folk, went about their busi
ness unmindful of the agitation.
"The club does not want a license," said
Miss lUixiibeth Marbury. chairman of the
board of governors, adding this significant
temperance Information: "Why, women
here won't drink. They're too vain, too
much afraid that they'll get fat. Any
doctor will tell you that alcohol and adi
pose tissue go together. There's an enor
mous consumption of lemon phosphate by
the club members, but very little of any
thing stronger. When we started the i lu'j
our men friends told us that unless we
sold wine, etc , we wouldn't make a suc
cess, as it had been found that the bar r
celpts In men s clubs went a long way to
ward paying the running expenses. Well,
we decided to wait nr.d see, and my be
lief, after watching our members, Is that
If we hud a bar the receipt wouldn't pay
the Ill-ens" fee We had eighty at dinner
Inst ivght. and rot a single person had
anything to d. ink-that is, anything real,
you know.
"Oh, yes," MI.-h Marbury continued In
response to a question, "any club member
can bring her own Individual bottle t) the
table, and one or two d i. but not many.
It Isn't because they are full of temper
ance principles The trnh is tl.ey'J like
to drink, some f them at lean, hut, as
I said before, they don't want to get fat.
Why, most of the members are bathing
and exercising half the time in an effort
to get thin or keep thin."
Just here a diminutive buttons appeared
and announced that "tea" was s-rved.
"There!" exc' timed Mis M irbury. "you
see It's tea " announces, and his ap
pearance wasn't stae management at all.
Hut wait a moment and I'll show you
our tea card."
The catd showed that a member may
have "Tea A" or "Tea H" the difference
Is as K cents is to 60 cents, the larger
sum adding hot inuttins and Jam to the
tea and bread and butter of the T. a A"
order. At the bottom of the cud is the
announcement :

In lawn tennis, golf and basket ball thirp
ai" eMuNlshed national i-liiunnl'inMhtni for
women. The prtlrl.arts .-onie from all
parts of the country, and the champion
ship meetings always attract crowds of
spectatois. The style of thp women Is
eiual in nil details to that of the men. and
especially at golf are the feminine ex
ponents deemed 10 no tne acme or grace
and vigor In their swing. At golf to tlm
the stroke is necessary, and the women
excel at this.
At coaching the women display a skill
quite to the mark of the men. They point
a team and cut a corner with all the dash
of regular coachmen.
There ore few sporting pictures better
worth seeing than that of a pretty girl
on the box scat of a coach or brake. Wo
men seem to drive with less exertion than
men, which Is part of the style on which
they pride themselves.
The weight of a team, that Is the pull
on the reins on the driving hand, is gen
erally expressed as eight and a half pounds,
yet the women bear up the burden for
hours at a time as cheerfully as the men.
Whatever the outdoor game, the women
are ready and willing to take their part
in It. The vim for sports keeps them in
their best health and spirits, and In their
lively talk of the smoking room afterward
tho women prove their good nature and wit.
There are hundreds of women who spend
aa much money on sport as, for Instance,
on their hats. There are some who have
yachts, and one Is enrolled at the leading
also Clgarettea and Segars at tha Club
Tariff."
"They do drink a most surprising quan
tity of the phosphate," said Miss Mar
bury, glancing over the card; "the man
that sells It must make a fortune."
Group of Hlrta Widows.
With another woman, Mra William Henry
Smith, In the ranks of wealthy widows
widows whose wealth is reckoned by tens
of millions it has become true that six of
them alone by mussing their fortunes could
make a total of '5o,ii0,oiO. Mrs Smith's
fortune will not fall far short of $70,xm).Oh).
It Is an amount almost as large as that
which Russell Sage left his widow. Mrs.
Smith Is not as well known throughout tha
union as is Mrs. Sage.
Her widowhood Is too recent, as It was
only a few days ago that her husband died
In Japan, for the glamour of her fortune to
surround her name Instead of the man's,
as already has happened In Mrs. Sage's
case. But her wealth will change that
quickly, for It places her among the four
richest widows in the country. The six
who by drawing checks could make up a
quarter billion are Mrs. Sage, Mrs. Smith.

a French medallist now In this
cr untry has made possible. The wedding
medal has Just been put on tha market by
a firm of Fifth avenue Jewelers, and at
n any of the spring marriages there has
been seen such a gift on the table of pres
ents. It is usually given by the bride
groom to the bride or by the bride to her
husband, although ll may be presented by
any friend or relative in lieu of an ordi
nary gift.
These n urrlage medals are msde of silver
and are about two Inches In diameter. On

Bags, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Walker and Mrs.
Greene could make such a showing without
the aid of the Chicago widows.
Hetty Green's fortune Is estimated at
from H0.000.noo to H0.000.Oir. Leaving her
out of the count, the list Is headed by Mra.

Medals for
the words "Frosperlte" and "Bonheur."
The silver Is frosted and the workmanship
of the medallions exquisitely fine.
K. i. Koine, the sculptor who makes them,
was for some years connected with the
ndnt In Paris, and many of Lis pie. es have
been bought by the French government
after they were exhibited. He has Just
begun to manufactute these medals for
this country, although they have f ir some
time past been sold in Paris.
Some of them may have the portraits of
the husband and wife in relief on the re
verse side In place of the two figures, al
though this process Involves, of course,
more expense, Hnce such a n.edal inut be
made to order, while the others ar always
to be l.a.i. M Koine nukes a specialty
of portrait medallions of any size, and
they are remarkuble for their finish and
faithfulness even when made on very small
medals.

At the second meeting of the Association
for the blind, says Putman's Magazine,
Hishop Green, I'r. Lyman Abbott
and others spoke; yet. If the honors
of tho occasion were not carried off by Miss
Keller, It was only because of the defec

ter and manner, left nothing to be desired.
The speaker's friend and alter ego, Mra.
Macy (nee Sullivan), was too hoars to re

from her former pupil's lips; so the task
of acting as her interpreter was assumed
by no lei's eminent an exp.-rt than Alex-

The Pretty Girl in nnslnesa.
"Every now and then," suld a business
woman f many sears experience to a New
Yoik Sun man, "one hears taies of the trials
aid tribulations which l-set the pretty girl
in huu ss, especially In large cities like
New York. One hears of her frultleea ef
forts to obtain desirable employment, or at
least to keep a place for any length of lime,
because of the Jc-ulousJis of other wemen,
and one hears constantly of the offensive
manner of employers towurd an extiemely
attractive employe.
"This slate of things seemed to me so
lamentable if true that 1 recently devoted
an afternoon to making a t ur of the differ
ent establishments In New Yoik making
business of securing employment for
women. The result was that I could llnd
iio one who considered beauty In any other
light than a valuable as.--t to the self
suptxnUng woman, provided It was accom
panied by .per elf-res ect ajd common
KOlUfC.
" How do I propose to solve the problem
of the pretty girl in b.;inesji?' repeated the
manager of one establishment, as she looked
up at me in some surprise. 'Why, 1 dou'l
tee th.it there a any such problem, at leat
not any n.oie In the busit:.i.s world thiol in
&' cn ty.
" 'The pritty girl In either rase must
mako her own decision as to whether her
N-dUty shall lie a curse or a blessing. Of
course. I adu lt that a I retry girl la more
apt to l e the target for women's jealousy
and mi n a attentions than a plain hoklng
girl, but I'm not prepared to admit that a
pivtty girl is any more txpo.sod to tempta
tion in a r pjtal le business house than she
Would be In stK-iety.
" It a all nonsense to say that a pretty
gtti labors under disadvantages in trying to
secure employment in New York. She may
mi-et with si me annovancv, but if she's
worth anything she'll come out ahead
every time.
" 'When a pretty girl comes In here to find
employment I'm ulways careful where I
place her and f te-n go to visit the employer
in his office before deciding. If she's young
and unsophisticated besides being pretty
I have a plain talk with her and warn her
In a general way as to her drens and con
duct during business hours.'
"The head of a similar establishment,
with an experience of ten years In the plac
ing i-f young women In bus ness, said:
" 'Our girls are especie. ly askpd to come
hoik ir.d report eny m.noyunce or Insult
lo wh.ch they may be ui jected In an office
where we may have placed thr:n. We
always thnnk a girl for rep uting such an
nmpl yer. as we lire then able to pinee his
r.jinio on our black list and refuse to send
applicants to him.'
"The person In charge of another con
cern of this type. In talking on this subject
of the pretty girl In business, said:
" 'I can usually tell Just what girls will
mnet with anpoyance In the business world
and I'm rarely mistaken. The other day
a girl went out from here and I saw trouble
ahead, and .It came.
" 'It wasn't nion than a week before she
came gack with a lcng tale about men In
the office, nnd It was no more than I had
foreseen. The girl was extremely pretty
and Innocent. She meant well, but she had
no natural dignity and lacked good, sound
common sense.'
"On my tour of Investigation I lenrnrd
quite n lot of details which Interested me.
I learned that n pretty girl Is often pi invl
In somp business purely en account of her
physical attractions, ns. for instance,
models in millinery parlors, and rnshlers
and office assistants In establishments
where toilet articles are a specialty. Such
a girl either by reason of her beuutlful
hair or complexion can do a lot of silent
advertising. Employers know this and are
constantly on the outlook for women who
can meet this requirement.
"One extremely pretty girl, bookkeeper
and model In a private millinery establish
ment, met some customers who alter a
while usked her to do secretarial work for
them In hi r leisure hours. Now her even
ings are as busy as her days, for she has
more writing of notes and balancing of
check books than she can do. Her looks
