LEARNING TO WALK.
It Itequlrr. to Teach Ilia Ordinary Worn
nn Practice Will Ho Mucli.
Tlicro In a Rrcal deal of talk about
how badly American women walk and
they aro advised to Improve but no
one tells them how or It anyone docs
tho directions aro usually vrronp;.
Hood teacher are needed but they
aro rare and some- most valuable In
formation ean be ffltcn In print I'rnc-
tlco will then do much. Dolsarte
brought the matter down to prin-
ciples but not many self-styled Del
snrtlnn Instructors can tell what they
arc.
The first thlnjr to noto Is that each
foot should cross the Mine line with
each successive step. "Walking a
crack" brings you one step In walking
correctly. Tho toes should be much
turned out almost to the angle of 4.1
degrees but not quite. Many defects
nro cured by simply achieving this.
For Instance you by this means nvold
bringing down tho heel first. In an
ordinary shoo the foot comes down all
together; In n hcellcss sandal the too
strikes the ground first and that Is
tho Ideal way the way the Greek
women stepped.
If you start out to simply avoid
striking the heel without further
knowledge of tho correct position of
tho foot ten to ono you will make
yourself highly ridiculous.
"The next thing Is the length of tho
step. It should bo just twlco tho
length of tho foot and Is mcasuicd
from tho hollow of the Instep of one
foot 0 the hollow of the Instep of tho
other.
Now to prnctlco hesc points tnke a
long tape; plnce new blUof red flannel
on It nt intervals corresponding to
your step; stretch it across as long u
room as you can get to practice In nnd
spend nn hour a day or less possibly
to walking the tape and having your
foot cross pno of the bits of flannel nt
each step. J'or a while you will do
this badly walk worso than ever but
when this action has bepomg au-
tomatic you can tako 141 oth-
er points and progress (owni.1
grace. Two things ore most im-
portant the legs should be moved from
tho thighs Tho motive power should
begin there Just as a boy throws a
stono from tho MiouMpr Then the
chest should be held up and thu body
so carried that the walker will havo a
feeling if she watches for it as if she
was being pulled along by a string
coming from the middle of the breast
as if fctifl was breasting the air as a
swimmer brrflsts tho waves. This
sounds fanciful but It Jsonly accurate.
The feeling attests tlic ffef. that you
are walking well even If you havo not
achieved all tho subtle poise of tho
Diana of tho Louvre-l)altlmoro Amer-
ican. THE SPINSTER IN SOCIETY.
A l'craonsce With Whom It Would II.
Hunt to Illijirnie.
It is diftlcult to sec who would take
her place socially should the spinster
vanish from the land. A gracious lady
tactful beyond ' the dreaming of the
young girl to whom the world Is still
a placo of enchantment In which half
unconsciously to herself she possiHS
tho principal figure the spinster
smooths away embarrassments does
the right thing and speaks the right
word lu tha right place nnd keeps the
wheels of lie running without fric-
tion. To her serene cpj)-bred. tran-
quil aware of good and evil tolfln.'nt
of that which is mere crudity and in-
experience severe only whero false-
ness and cruelty challenge soft-
spoken awcct-in.inncrcd or possibly
brusque pptl spicy yet not the less
charming men and women bring their
best.
If a woman of wealth tho sf Jnster
holds In her capable hand the threads
of many charities advising here be-
stowing there withholding or endow-
ing ah she deems judicious. Perhaps
she develops In her own person iare
gifts music i-nlntlng embroidery
attaining in each a degree of excel-
lence which only leisure and Ustfl in
combination can arrive at Very like-
ly sho prefers to seek out gifted
younger people boys and girls who
need that Rome one should believe in
and help them on nnd to these sho Is a
patron saint Many lines of work are
open to her which marriage would
have closed since the wife and mother
must exclusively deroto to her homo
nnd its sphere of action talents nnd
sympathies which the spinster may uso
in tho service of her age. Though the
one bo moro blessedly happy the other
U not without rewards and compensa-
tions. I'oor In this world's goods the spin-
ster fills equally a most important
niche. Her modern education makes
her an Independent factor In many
fields n not-to-be-desplscd competitor
In tho market and tho shop. And since
probably sho need not remain a spin-
ster unless sho choose society owes
her its thanks for her generosity In
keeping herself at Its service and mak-
ing so winsome a feature of its moving

ALL UNDER THE WEATHER.
A Mau Wlu )!rf"" Tirol of llcnrluc tli
Complaints of III. !l!ow.
"How ore you? Don't tell mo tha
you aro 'under tho weather.'"
The greeting was uttered by a Main
street man on his wny back to his of-
fice after dinner. He asked tho ques-
tion with emphasis not as merely us-
ing a conventional phrase but ai
though ho really wantct til know.
Then stopping his acquaintance he
explained his special interest in the
subject
"I want to know If you feel really
well" ho said "and I sincerely hopo
you do. Don't bo astonished at my
unusually strung Interest In your well-
bping Jt Is simply because every
man I havo met toidny has told mo ho
felt 'under tho weather'. Some ar
only a 'llttlo under tho weather' but
none seem to havo been ablo to stand

Is not groundless. Tlicro piay bo nq

every other man in tho city seems to
be walking nbroad with a load on his
shoulders and ho calls that load the

explain things say that tho barometer
is directly responsible others the
thermometer- Tjere sepms however

"Speaking of coincidences (about
which nobody was faying n word) 1
had an ndd cxperlciico during the
World's fair" remarked Jones at the
club. "I uix-d to get away from busi-
ness along In tho afternoon two or
threo times n week nn'd go down there
and wnndcr about by myself. Some-
times I met my family but more fre-
quently I didn't as I seldom knew ex-
actly when I would bo ablo to leave
"One afternoon whllo I was in the
vicinity of tho Court of Honor n rain-
storm camo up and I took refuge un-
der tho band-stand near tho west end
of the court. A boy about fourteen
years old camo and sat down beside
mo. Ho wns a very nice boy; unusu-
ally bright and eager. He had a good
mouth. I can always tell chsractcr
from tho mouth. If I like a man's
mouth I like him but If his mouth dis-
pleases me I have as little as possible
to do with him although of course I
would fill a good order from a man with
a bad mouth as quickly as I would
from anybody else provide his quota-
tion wns satisfactory.
"I merely mention the boy and my
theories about mouths In this ponncci
tlon because neither really had any-
thing to do with tho coincidence re-
ferred to although probably if I hadn't
been looking around for things to talk
to th boy about I wouldn't havo ob-
served It.
"Tho rain was over in tho course of
twenty minutes or so and in tho rear
of the storm which moved off to tho
northeast came one of tho most beau-
tiful rainbows I have ever seen. Those
magnificent white buildings under that
widoarch with tho blue waters of tho
lako visible between tho columns of
ho Peristyle would have tempted tho
brush of Turner. I palled the bpy's
attention to thp scene npd wo both op-
joyed It togcthor. It was an arch of
triumph spanning this great exhibition
of tho victories of pence and civiliza-
tion end I made S"mn remarks to this
effect In a way the boy could under-
stand. Whllo we were enjoying tho
view two pigeons alighted on the head
of tha grand old helmsman of thp Mac?
Mounies fountain. One wns whito nnd
the other black nnd they were billing
and cooing.
" 'What docs tho whito pigeon
mean'?" I asked tho boy.
" Peace he said.
