hDY THEIR walks We shall know
d them," solemnly remarked girl
in stunning tailor-made suit, as she
pulled herself up on high stool at the
lunch counter.
what on earth are you driving at
now?" asked her companion, dainty
creature, wearing one of those new
plaid silk blouses.
"Just what said" replied the tailor
made girl. "By their walks We shall
know them. BY them mean women.
They walk their characters into plain
view just as much as they talk them
! into evidence"
"Nonsense!" calculated the plaid
wasted girl. 1.-THE idea of judging any
woman by her walk! Some women
walk badly out of pure carelessness.
others through some slight deformity
or physical weakness, and it isn't fair
TO pass sentence on them. Waiter, bring
me two sardine sandwiches, some
pickles, a glass of milk and straw
berry tart"
1.-THE same for me-" said the tailor
made girl, and then she went on: Eyes,
that's just it. Some women walk terri
bly, just out of pure carelessness, and if
that isn't an index to character I'd like
to know what is. Of course I'm not

Yes. indeed" answered the other.
/ Indeed. since it has been brought to
my mind, I realize that the habit is not
an uncommon one"
every WE'LL" said the other; "now I'll
strike off the character of the young
lady over there, and you see how it fits
your friends who jerk their heads when
they walk. That girl is given to tickle
| ness. She trifes with love. She does
not properly value the affection of men
or the friendship of womsn. Did you
never observe how many oldish single
women have this jerking habit In walk
ing? No? Well, it's easily explained.
| They trife too far with love, and are just
thewomen whomiss good husbands and
regret it afterward She regards the
love of an honest, plain, marly fellow
lightly and throws it aside for the atten-
tons of the first Johnny who happens
TO pay her little attention. AS soon as
the newness is worn eff the Johnny she
is Just as ready to cast him aside. and
so it goes. She isn't true to herself, and,
of course, she can't be true to anyone
| else. Am not RIGHT 2" she broke off as
she struck a rich find in the pickle bot,
| tie.

you say" admitted the rirl in the
blouse. "Now, there's Ella Jenkins.
