CHARACTERS in WALKING.

Quick steps are indicative of energy
and agitation.
Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity. discretion, or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
pre-occupied, absent minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING, noiseless, with short. nerv,
Gus, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short
suggest a gentle or reflective state OF
mind, as the case may be.
Where a reYengefal purpose Is hid
den under a feigned smile the step will
be sinking and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured; the toes are conspicuously turn
ed out; the legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
of the mind inevitably betrays unoer-
tainty, hesitation and indeeision
Obstinate people, who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on in
tellectual power, rest the feet fatty and
firmly on the ground, walk heavily and
slowly, and stand with the legs firmly
PLANTED and far apart.

"Oh, don't mind" admits Shell,
rather Grossly. "of course one Of US

can't afford a maid. Only it does rath-
err annoy me for any one to be so insane

! budded trees.
why that heart-rending sigh, my
sweet sea-sheIl?" asts a tall, willowy
girl with blue eyes, who has just en-
tered the room. As she speaks she
lays her arm caressingly around the
girls firm shoulders.
"She is quite overcome at the pros
pect Of cutting me out a second wash
ing dress, answers Ruby, in tone
which implies, Hasn't SIZE an unfor-
tunate temper?"
ooh, dear--and I was Just going to
ask her to fix my buff print, because
she is so clever at that sort of thing!"
says Violet, in tone of CONSERVATION.
"All right, vi dear-I adore cutting
out" laughs Shell. "Rring your bun,

terial that you can lay your hands on.

be kind enough TO do more than one

ingly.
'T1l do IT," answers Shell rather
shortly" only, II l do all the cutting
and fixing and trimming, l must bar
gain that you and Ruby help with the
machine work"
Yes, dear, Of course-only that stu
pid old machine will never work for

look at that useful but inartistic piece
Of furniture.

seating herself before the machine and
commencing to arrange her cottons,
Now, Shell, toss me over your skirt,

I'VE cannot altogether suppress vice,
but we can at least dlscountenance it"
These words are attributed by common
report TO Rev. Mr.. Gilchrist, and they
embody the views Of the people OF Sc
attic. In every large city, various
forms Of vice. due to an uncultured hu-
man nature. have from time immemOrial
held their own; and it is one OF the
problems Of government how to so reg
ulate them that they shall be least OBJ
jectionable aad least obtrusive.
There are elements in society which
civilization has been unable 10 elm
mate. There are weaknesses in human
nature which seem 10 be beyond the
reach OF statutory humiliation. Wher-
ever the attempt is made TO impose in
hibitiye legislation. perverseness arises
in resentment and great cities are in
the worst elements. This is the case
in New York, Chicago. st. Louis and
san Francisco. The Republican party
has been defeated repeatedly in those
cities because 1t has undertaken the
impossible; and corruption, extrava-
gance and defiance of public sentiment
hold sway
Nevertheless. the task must not be
abandoned Vice in all its forms must
be made to feel its shame, and not be
permitted TO thrust its presence upon
the community The social evil is
known To exist; but 1t is made 10 bear
the stigma Of reproach. 1t is driven
back into its own unwholesome pur-
heus, instead Of being scattered through
the residence districts. as it was under
a most unwise effort to drive it COM
pletely from the city.
The churches should aid those citizens
who seek to make the best Of the
worst-to keep within bounds the ap-
parently inevitable consequences Of
metropolitan life. Good. common sense
IS OF more service in this crusade than
violent measures. In the wise words Of
Rev. Mr. Gilchrist: SINCE we cannot
entirely suppress vice, let us discounte-
nance it"
