ously when he beat Mcfarland In the

able lead which he maintained until the

BRED IN THE BONE.

Did you ever notice a little girl, 10 of Il years old. short of skirt, cross a muddy street wearing an air of i'm portance and hiking with her right hand the corner of her outer garment? If you haven't you can scarcely have paid much attention to street scenes. It would require q Psychological eN- planation to detail the reasons which move these tiny persons to go through such a ludicrOus maneuyer. but they do go through it so long as the femi- nine remains eternal.
 To begin with, the dresses of these little girls end usually at their knees. and their knees are so far from the pavement as to make it impossible for the skirt to trail within less than q lineal foot of the dust and dirt of the sidewalk. But this consideration has no weight with the little women. They have noted that their elder sis ters and other women of their ac- when crossing-and so they follow, not always consciously. the example.
 The practice is inborn, and as in eradicable as it is amusing. By no stretch of imagination could one pie ture the short gowns coming in con- tact with the roadway. But the chiI- dren don't stop to analyze. They just life the skirt, gravely cross the street. and as gravely lower the garb. Next time you see a little girl going to school, watch her movements when she comes to a corner. There will be sixty seconds of amusement for you in the spectacle.
