The Golf Walk.
'ew Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans TimeS-Democrat
There goes a girl with the golf walk"
a man said to his companion walking on
Chestnut street yesterday morning. and
everybody within hearing turned to see the
latest product of the links. 1t was exem-
plified on this occasion by one of the bellies
of Philadelphia'S most swagger society, one
whose name is up at every contest OF golf
experts tar and near, and one that counts
a good many trophies of the game among
her proud possessions. Ii cannot be called
a beautiful walk, and no one who lives
near any Of the grounds where clubs that
are petticoated (more or less) hold their
practices needs to be told what il is. That
long, ioose-jointed stride, those Tapping
arms, that "poked'' neck and head. that
curious fat-chested carriage. are only too
familiar. But the inner significance of the
walk in its most aggravated form is not so
we'll known. According 10 famous physi-
clan, who counts many athletic women
among his clientele, 1t is really sign of
extreme nervous overstrain. Women -
says this ungallant doctor, fare always in
extremes. When they take up any sport
or pastime they become saturated with ii
for the time being, and live for nothing
else. Now golf is an extremely violent ex-
ercise-too violent for many girls-and
when il is run TO death by an eager devotee
II Is not as harmless to her as ten hours a
day spent over ribbon embroidery, or thir-
teen in collecting quarters for the Evening
Home or the Hoboes' Retreat"
