November Is the month of nil others for hunting in Virginia, and tho coming In of the hunting season rnakes one of the great joys of country life at this time of the year. The summer girl and the Horse Show? girl of 1803 have danced nnd coquetted and ridden their way Into the hearts of their masculine adorers, but they need to look well to their honors, when the hunting ?Isterhood comes Into the field, immacu? lately gotten up In u Norfolk, jacket and ?hort skirt ot" tweed In invisible plaids, or Oxford gray, with stout little boots and buskins made of chamois skin or soft leather; with a soft, close-fitting hunting cap to match the suit, holding a cluster of scarlet or brown wings, or both, by ?way or ornamentation; with clean, shining flowing piece nnd the other necessary acccouiroments of the chase-in such wise tho mild "who will a hunting go." Is a pleasant nnd an irresistible object for a man's eyes to rest upon. This" maid is such a comrade, reasons out the masculine mind, while the man to whom the mind belongs keeps step bc Ride the maid across brown stubble, be? hind the dogs, and notes the precision of aim with which the maid brings down the birds and squirrels, and fills the up to-date gnme bag that a brown-faced, tood-humored pickaninny carries, slung aver his shoulder. After a while when a halt is made be? side a little bustling stream, and the maid shows herself an adept at serving nnd sharing tho hunting luncheon for which the other members of the pnrty have assembled, the man concludes that ne would prefer of all thlpgs to inaugu? rate an open air system of housekeeping, with exercise sauco as an appetizer, the system to go on indefinitely, eatins sandwiches, cheese and pickles, with ap? ples and sparking cider for dessert. The hunting is not by any means limited to birds and squirrels. Wild turkeys come In for no small share of attention and, If the hunting maid could choose the time when, more than any other she seems attractive. It is when behind a "turkey blind." she shows her first symptom of nervousness and needs the encouragement which a man's greater experience must supply. A Richmond girl who Is a celebrated markswoman, exhibits as one of her proudost trophies, a turkey beard, taken from, a sixteen pound wild gobbler, which she shot last season. The pleasures of fox hunting, which wore keenly enjoyed by many of the colo? nial belles of Virginia, famed as dashing horsewomen, aro being taken up by their twentieth century descendants, many of whom belong to the country clubs, where the meets are held regularly during the autumn and winter. The. Hunt is usually preceded by a breakfast, offering an op? portunity for very pretty hospitality to the maid, who is again an image of correct attire In her natty riding gown and bools. When she is mounted and. with a view hallo! the dash is made, she skims along as lightly as a bird. Bho and her horse In perfect nccorvi about gaining and holding the lead. The man looks onco. then races after her and has the pleasure of seeing tho blush and smile with which she receives the brush when wary Reynard is at last captured. Better than ull then, Is the leisurely ride home, the horses going at their own sweet will, the riders talking about ?? thousand things of interest, while the man thinks how lovely bright brown tresses in be? coming disarray iook, and wonder why everything has taken on a new element of beauty and interest. Probably the maddest, merriest form of hunting is undertaken at. night, with the flare of many torches as on accom? paniment, the yelping of dogs, the com? ments of dusky torclvmen and the cutting down ot trees in which an o'possum or a coon has taken refuge. The maid needs her thickest boots and her most substantial hunting array for nuch n midnight frolic. She must be pro pared to eUijjb- fences, cross creeks, and ?hoggy plajpee..*walK' through underbrush and over fallen logs without stumbling. She must not mind the resinous order ot the fat pine torches, or be frightened at the yelping dogs. Above all, she must stand well out of the reach of tho falling tree, when it come? crashing down. Then, with four or five, grinning b'pos Sitm, or a live coon or two, she must hr. prepaicd to make h*r liveliness last through the homeward tramp, and, until good-nlKhts are cheerily spoken, when Jiomo Is reached. If the bunting maid cm do all this, end do It well, she need fear no opposi? tion, for she will bold her own with MISS KATHERINE SHERWOOD, OF NEW ORLEANS, \ The Guest of Miss Callie Mercer. many a man. unrivalled by maids of other Ilk.
