Justin McCarthy in his new no'el
'Paul Massie tells us that female charac

the manner in which ladies lift their
skirts lie says :
" Show me the ankle and I will show
you the woman. A lady ouce remarked
that she did not like an unmeaning look
about tho heel. Sarah Massie AA'oukl not
have incurred this censure. Her ankle
indicated health clearness energy and
sell-reliance. It is not nousenso to talk
ot a woman's ankle indicating all' this.
There are women who show their char-
acter in the very Avay in which they man -

The gieat. leadiug rule is that no ono

road except Avhen no other person is
prcsont to claim his right to the use of
ono half of the highway which claim ho

Avhen traveling in the same direction that
he has when he meets another. This is
tho law of every Stale in the Union" and
bo far as Ave aro iuformed of every civil-
ized'couutry : and all persons violating
it aro liable' for all damages resulting
from their conduct'.
When teams meet the American law
is that each turning to the right .shall

I law of England.' require teams to i urn out

If you keep to the right you go wrong.
In passing the person iu front is re-
quired to turn to tho left so as lo allow
the person in the rear Avho is traveling
at a more rapid pace lo pass on his

Where teams approach at right angles
onintersecting roads it is the duty of tho
person-who by turning to the right vyould
pans to tho rear of the other team to pull
up and allow the other to pass.
