not Well, I have, and Il can tell you
for a fact that a woman never runs
quite as fast as she could walk Some
times, when women are hurrying to
catch a car or something of that sort
they think they will get over the
ground faster if they rum but, so far
from accelerating their progress, il
rather retards it.
All the same, they seem to think they
are going a great deal faster than they
could walk, and perhaps that answers
the purpose just as well. Sometimes
think they know better, but feel that
they must make bluff atspeed. At any
rate, when you have good opportu-
nifty to estimate a running woman's
speed just do it and you will be con-
