There are many excellent horseback riders among the yonug ladies at Newport, and they are generally adopting a style of riding habit, shorter, and safer, and more graceful than that of recent years. -'1 "To tie an! fave everybody read your age on the coffin plate!" cried a young lady who had been dangerously ill some days, "it's too much 1" and she incontinently had a good cry. She began to improve from that moment.

The N9W York Commercial Advertiser says, "The young ladies that you see at Coney Island are not the rich and ugly kind you see at Saratoga. They are dashing actresses, flirting shop girls and the handsomest women in the world." ....

In a certain part of Aafa, suppers left at the door of a room, signify that the occupant is specially engaged, and does not wish to be disturb# by the entrance of any one, not even a husband. Whetber the limit be respected by tha lord of| creation is doubtful. ^•,

The London correspondent of the New York Times draws a sad picture of intemperance among women in England. He says: "In the United States you rarely see a woman or girl go into a drinking bar. It is common in England. In the slums of London a great deaL of the drinkiqg Is done by the women."

Tbo Philadelphia Chronicle Herald wants an execution. Hear it: "England has hung a woman, and let America profit by her (England's, not the women's) example.

In "The Households" of the Free Press and the Chicago Tribune some women are discussing the questiod whether a couple can live on 9800 a year, at great length, and as seriously as if there was some doubt about it. Ten to one that the parties on the negative would jump at an opportunity to try the experiment, and take the chances of an increase of family withont any swelling of the income.

The Boston girl who visited her aunt in San Francisco, and soon after eloped with a waiter, left a note behind in which she said: "Don't worry we shall be married before you get this, and as is from as nice a familyl as I, if he has been a waiter, it will oome out all right. He graduated at Yale College* but his father lost his wealth and be* came very poor.

So forgive as and write mamma, and let there be as few comments made as possible."

This is what Robert G. Ingersoll «ay» of the women: I tell you women are more prudent than men. I tell you, as a rale, women are more faithful than men—ten times as faithful as men. I never saw a man pursue his wife into the very ditch and dost of degradation and lake her in his arms. I never saw a man stand at the shore where she had been morally wrecked waiting for tki waves to bring hack even her corpse t4 his arms bat I have sent woman with her white arms lift man from the mire of degradation, and hetd him to her bosom as though he were an angel.,
