Miss Josephine Windle on Spir ited Steed Takes Hurdles Which Worry Army Riders. The vaunted horsemanship of the South is a myth. If it ever existed, it has disappeared from the land like the i custom of giving up’ seats in street ears. If the cavaliers of the (Jld South, who rode to the hounds each morning as regularly as they consumed their matin toddy, were to return to earth and view the eqtir irian performances of their descendants they would be willing and eager to return to the cold, cold ground and try to forget. This is the opinion of Miss Josephine Windle, of Atlanta, but until a few months ago of England. She’s but eighteen years old. but she knows all about horses and horsewomanship, for sue was practically born in the saddle. Miss \\ indie has startled the exports of the Piedmont Driving club and the army circle at Fort McPherson with the daring and grace of her feats of horsewomanship. It is freely predicted in these circles that at the horse shows of the South next year Miss Mary All good Jones, of Atlanta, will find a dan gerous rival in this little English miss. On her favorite mount, a spirited, willful little mare called "Red Girl,” she has taken hurdles at Fort McPher ' son at which even the most skillful and daring of the officer riders look twice. And she sees nothing remarkable in her accomplishment. "Why, in England, all the girls ride to hounds." she said. "It is our fa vorite pastime. Naturally we become at home in the saddle. I can not tin-* derstand why so few girls here ride. It is one of the few sports where wom en can compete on an equal basis with the men, and the country is ideal for cross-country riding." Continuing with little more than a suggestion of English accent, Miss Windle said: "And the men rule so miserably. 1 have seen the fewest number who can ride at all. Those who do seem to take it as a task and not as a pleasure. No wonder more of them do not take it up. if all they have to judge from is tin* men who do have horses." Miss Windle is preparing to appear •it several of tin* Southern horse shows next season, and in the meantime hopes to stimulate interst in’ horses among her associates in Atlanta.

Autumn's arrival has been suspected for several days. Shivery folk in sum mer clothing, chilly hotel corridors where the steam hasn't been turned on, the discomfort of a seat next the door in a trolley ear. these and the oyster signs in the lunch stands have led to the suspicion that the coal-burning sea son is at hand. But a placard hung out in fiont of an uptown restaurant today proved it conclusively. It announced: POSSUM AND TATERS. That settles it. No self-respecting possum is ever fat enough to kill until fall is really here. Connoisseurs insist that not until the first frost brings the persimmons to the ground does the luscious possum take on that flavor which makes the mouth to water and the heart to yearn. But these are im patient days, and the first possums on TEN RULES BEE HUSBAND TYRANT Unusual Nuptial Agreement Is Introduced as Defense in Alienation Suit. SAN FRANCISCO. CAL..

The decree was granted to Mrs Ec cleston on the ground of desertion, and she then began the damage suit against the brother-in-law, declaring he was re sponsible for breaking up her home. The answer of Charles Eccleston to this is the rules of the husband that he Intro duced in evidence. Here are the rules: 1. Do as I say in all matters that may come up. 2. Tell me the truth about everything I ask. 3. Take me into your confidence and never let the smallest thing go unsaid. 4. Let the cook go. 5.

Then he tasted the milk. Then he dashed to the trough ft was empty. He turned the water on. It was just ordinary water. Considerably puzzled, he went to the house. His family tasted of the milk. They were elated, not to say elevated. Then eight-year-old Roland Stropha spoke up. '‘l wonder if the stuff in those nasty old jugs I poured in the trough made the milk taste this way?” he mused. Stropha gasped. Then he ran down in the cellar. Two gallon jugs of 12- year-old Bourbon were missing.
