OOL weather this summer, al though it has taken much of the zest out of swimming and bath ing, has brought into favor a very old sport, horseback riding. Did you ever hear of a heroine in one of the dear old romantic novels that couldn't ride like Diana? Of course not! In even our popular modern stories, the hero ine is sure to be playing polo or tak ing a gallop down the road some driz zly, dark morning that brings the color glowing to her cheeks. This is the season for horsewomen in Omaha, for there have been just enough snappy mornings to make rid. ing enjoyable. The one drawback seems to be that good horses are very rare since the European armies have bought so many in this country, so that society people who wish to ride are obliged to commandeer well broken down work horses for their canters. Some few are fortunate enough to secure good saddle horses. Mr. and Mrs. Ervine Brandeis are two of these lucky ones. To see them rid ing would win almost anyone to the sport, for they are a handsome sight. Mrs. Brandeis has some decidedly good-looking riding togs, too. At the Equal Franchise lawn fete at Binnie Brae, she appeared in a white costume with white riding breeches and white boots. Since that time, indeed with in the last week, a special shipment of the very latest things in riding cos tumes arrived for her from New York. . Miss Grace Allison really can't be outdistanced in pietty riding clothes, for she has a most dashing new rid ing suit of the scarlet color which one always associates with the lady fair who does a-hunting go. Miss Elizabeth Reed was seen riding a good deal tne early part of the summer, Mrs. Henry Doorly and an escort ing gentleman are not infrequently seen around the city s boulevards and Miss Marjorie Howland has been rid ing, too. Mrs. A. J. Sistek, who is now on a vacation trio in Estes Park. Colo., enjoys riding and has taken ad vantage of the favorable season. Dozens of others have forsaken their motor cars for a good horse this year. It is said that there is a large amount of electricity thrown off by a horse which imparts itself to the rider as a vitalizing force. Thus if one rides a fine horse he feels as much exhila rated as if he had taken , a glass of wine. Two charming equestriennes who are combining a summer at a lake re sort with all the joys of horseback riding are the Misses Beatrice and Geraldine Johnson, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Johnson, who live at their summer cottage ' at Seymour lake, ihese two pretty arirls. seen in the above pictures, are members of the group of horsewomen at Seymour Lake club this summer. Both are very popular there and at Happy Hol low club. They are students at the State university, where they have an equally large and loyal company of friends and admirers. Miss Edna Peterson knows more about horses, especially racing horses, than two-thirds of the other girls in Omaha put together. Ever since she was a tiny girl she has "followed the horses." Not only ' has she heard about horses and read of their deeds, but also she has driven them from the time that she was able to hold the reins. Her father,Mr. Edward Peter son, president of the Omaha Driving club, has owned for years fine racing horses that are prize winners on the grand circuit.' The grand circuit, be it known, is the eastern association of driving clubs, which holds the old line Kentucky races that we always think of when anyone speaks of horse racing. Miss Peterson has attended many of the big Kentucky race meets and seen her father's own horses com pete with other bloolled animals "on the turf.'' ' She had planned, a trip a week or two ago to Indiana, where the horse from the Peterson stable, "Ben Earl," raced Single G, the record holder, but was obliged t give up her plan. The picture of her on this page was taken out at the Benson race track,', where many racing horses of the great west ern circuit are trained. You should ee her some time when she has slipped out to the race track, coming down the straightaway, her horse pac ing along at a good clip while she sits firmly in the seat of her sulky slight ly bent forward to hold the reins tight! Miss Peterson drives her father's, handsome' big. touring car, but she thinks that there is nothing like riding behind a good racing horse. Automobiles are useful, oh yes, but when it comes to real sport, she'll take the horse every time. Au tomobile races as Compared with horse races in her estimation are en tirely de classe. ' The little darkey in- the inset was a real southern jockey snapped out at the Benson race track during the recent racing meet there. His name was Tom Connors and his southern f accent was a broad as his legs are bowed. In the races of the second day his horse ran in second place, but on the last day of the meet he won. Although the little fellow has ,a face as good-natured as thaj of a 10-year-old boy, his gray tufts of hair peep ing but from under his gay pink and green jockey cap show that he has grown old in the game.
