HIS TOUGHEST WALK.
The Major Was Playing TreadmiIl on .
SprInting Glacier.

We started out in the early morning from
the hotel, the major carrying pair Of field
glasses, q light overcoat, an umbrella and
q book describing the glories of California.
l contcntcd myself with carrying small
hamper, and more than once found myself
wondering how my companion dared at
tempt the trip.
"Pooh, pooh!" he. said in answer to one
of my questions concerning his ability to
get through the performance crcditably.
"Pooh, pooh, sir. l have scaled the Him.

the Sahara on foot. Why, sir, could run
I'D a little hill like Tamalpais blindfolded
and not even pause to wipe my forehead. "
We said no more on the subject and
finally reached Larkspur, where we began
TO make the ascent
At the station the thermometer regis
tered 20 degrees, but by the time we had
finished the first quarter of the ascent it
seemed about thousand.
Presently We arrived at a point about
half way up the mountain, and the major
suddenly came to halt. He again waved
his arms about and then sat down.

mopping his brow.
"Thc inciinc?" I vcntured.

is easy walking to what l have done in
my day. The hardest climb ever had was
on one of those Swiss glaciers. l was
alone, for I always prefer to travel with
out guides. AS far as the eye could SEQ
there extended a mighty bed OF ice as fat
as mirror and without single object on
it to relieve the monotony. After walking
for three hours it dawned over Inc that
was making absolutely no progress though
at first l was at Il loss to understand tho
reason.
Happening, however, to stand still for
one moment found that the glacier was
slowly slipping from beneath my feet and
that, although had been going through
the motions of walking, in reality had
made no progress whatever. l therefore
commenced walking i'll direction at u
right angle TO the one l had been taking,
and after short while succeeded in get

DressmaEa.5' superstItIons.

Theatrical foil, are generally supposed
to take the palm for superstition, but
drcssmakCrs are not far behind. No mat
ter how gilt edged and 'Inadamcd" and
given to big bills and Scornful of anybody
who comes To her afoot she may be- and
especially Of the somebody who can afford
silk lining, she wouldn't dream of sewing
the gown while upon you. "Take stitch
while you're trying the dress on!' she
cries. ''Alercy, mol wouldn't dream of
such dreadful thing. Don't you know
what it means? Every one of those stitches
would stand for lie that somebody was
telling about you, and the longer the stitch
the bigger tho lie. " That is what she will
tell you if you ask her or any of her aids
to take the least little "tack' in tho gar
ment. ''Well, 1 will if you're willing to
run the risk, " said one Of the profession
resignedly. Eyes, 1 know can't do it SO
well off you, but it'll take at least six
stitches, and that means just six lies-big
lies, too, for tho stitches are awful long"
She regarded the customer who was will
ing to lily thus in the face of fate as moth
ing short OF n marvel.
Another superstition OF the dressmaker
concerns hasting threads. Blasting threads
in a finished garment are q sign that you
haven't paid for it. 1t doesn't do tho
slightest good to produce the receipted bill
The drcssmakcr may have receipted the
bill herself, but if she finds stray "bast-
er" anywhere in the garment she has all
the air of douhting her own memory and
signature.
Another superstition is that when a
customer tries on dress skirt and tho
hem at the back remains turned up in
great peak it IS 4 sign that she has a NEW
beau" Tho deeper the turn up the bigger
the beau, or rather, the more cpris is he.
Nothing can convince drcssmaker to the
contrary, and as it is n case where no re-
ceiptod bill testimony can be called into
play it is even more useless to argue about
it than about the clusters. New York
