now 10 WALK.

What is the kangaroo walk? is
the question that comes from many
persons. 1t is a series of absurd
contortions practiced by young
women who are devoid of brains
or common sense. They lean very
far forward, swing their arms and
take long steps not unlike the
hops made familiar to the public
by the animal that is exhibited by
every well-conducted menagerie
and ZOO.
So far the new style of gait is
limited to the few foolish maidens
who enjoy making themselves con-
spicuous, and it will never become
really prevalent, because the wo-
men of fashion are nowadays train
ed to walk scientifically.
Thirty years ago the Grecian
bend was the horror of all who ad-
mired the human form divine
Women wore a hump on their
backs and they bent forward and
minced along in a manner that
would have amused an ape. The
Grecian bend accompanied many
exaggerations of dress and coiffure,
and it was the final absurdity that
made persons strive for much
needed reforms. 1t was possible
for the fashion to become popular
because at that time little atten-
ton was paid to the art and science
of beauty.
Physical training and aesthetic
PHILOSOPHERS were not studied
then, and there was little individu-
ality in dress. Each season had
its distinguishing style, and every
one followed it. The evolution of
true ideals has made it impossible
for artificial and nonsensical modes
to be considered good form.
The fashions will always be
caricatured by a certain class of
women, the women whose dress
denotes their mental and moral
decadence.
There is only one way to walk,
and that is the right way, the way
in which nature designed men to
move. There is nothing in the
world more graceful than the free
gait of child. 1t is the poetry of
motion.
Persons who walk properly have
the body perfectly balanced.
They walk with the straight foot
for the day when toes out" was
the proper injunction has passed.

Three advertising men recently

ourselves obliged to wait for some
thing interesting to turn up. 1t
turned in the nick o'time. A pop
corn vendor made a triumphant
entry at the front door of the car,
cast a withering look at the pas

After which he concluded op-
erations by striding on to the rear
door, where he paused a moment
to assert in resentful tones:

tanning a considerable number of
people without disposing of sim

eleven sacks of popcorn. l called
him to me, handed him sheet of

hours ago, my basket was filed

addition of little salt and some
good butter, which is also made on
my farm. 1t will enliven your trip

more common sense should be exer-
cised as to the suitability of the
clothes to be worn. While the sex is
smiled at for ha3ing so much trouble
about clothes it is yet a fact that
wrong dressing ruins ones comfort
and pleasure, while right dressing goes
far toward making it.
A so-callod all-White wardrobe is a
very clever scheme, and, of course,
does not prevent one from indulging
in colored mOhairs, taffetas and lin
ems. But rather does it help one to
economize in the army of pin money

finish gala get-ups.

Whore to Wear a Watch

That watches should be get-at-able
that is, worn in a place where coats.
buttons and tapes need not be undone
nor pulled asunder to probe them from
some remote regiOn-has long been
the desideratum OF women and now
that the problem is solved many will
rejoice. The neck, some clever one
has thought, is quite rs secure a
hiding place for a watch as the waist.
1t is also worn more uncovered in
these days of open coat fronts and
bodices buttoned up below the chest.
Many watches, therefore, are now
simply dropped down under the stock
collar, and that they may not fall too
FAR below 1t they are attached to a
short, heavy gold chain perhaps five
or six inches long, which at its other
end has hung some heavy trinket. This
can be grabbed in an instant without
fuss or bother and the watch pulled
out to do its service. 1t can then also
be dropped back again without in the
least disarranglng the toilette. More
over the effect produced by a watch
worn in this way is very decorative to
the costume, the chain holding it
giving as it hangs over the collar much
the same effect as to the neck danglers
winch are now worn so attractlvely.-

The ordinary chiffon parasols are

Often all Aounces except the outer
one are applied in points or scallops,
the bizarre effect being further en-
hanced by the application Of black

Some Of the shades are flounced and
then decorated with appliqued centre
pieces in lace or colors. The lace COW
er over colors Is popular with those
who can afford it. Provided the Lace
is OF good quality it looks quite well,

an abomination. All-over embroder-

Common Sense in Dishwashlng.

Dishwashing, by the general consen-
sus Of opinion, would seem to be the
most unimportant task in the whole
realm Of housework. An inexpe-
rienced girl or very young girl may
be considered good in so far as being
able to at least wash the dishes,
and sometimes she is allowed to wash
them her own way without let or him
drance But even about dishwashlng
there Is right way and several wrong
ways One of the latter consists in
putting everything from teacups and
silverware to cooking utensils through
the same water, which grows more
and more mixed as the process goes
on, and then drying these same dishes
without putting them through hot
rinslng water. Common sense should
show the necessity of changing the
washing water frequently, because it
grows cold as well as dirty. Common
sense should also dictate that Il good
hot rinslng water is a necessity that
will free the dishes from soaplness.
Without plenty Of hot water and plen-
ty of clean towels clean sweet dishes
are an impossibllity, and no one who
has ever had experience with rough
dishes need be told of their disagree
able suggestiyeness.
