PARIS WALKING MAD|

Amusing Incidents.

Paris.-Not long ago it was London,
and now it is Paris that has gone
mad with a walking craze. Every
Sunday and holiday the streets of this
city are overrun with crowds of men
and women competitors in walking
race On a recent Sunday we had
three-the midinettes, or dressmakers'
apprentices, the carriers, and the
chansonniers, or singers and poets OF
the Montmartre cabarets. AS each of
them brought together immense
crowds of people, | imagine the pre-
feet of police will soon get tired of
the new Partisan craze.
| must say nothing more amusing
was ever seen in Paris than the
marche des midinettes. OF course, as
a sporting event it simply did not eX-
list. The whole question was one OF
getting well away; those who were
favored by the start, if they could
walk at all, had the race in hand

NNE by one, Mrs. Presley's guests had
| J deserted the breakfast-roOm and
separated to their respective pursuits.
For several minutes she sat staring
across the table at her husband. Her
lips betrayed an intangible sneer; she
was wondering how in the world she ever
came to marry the man. Certainly, he
was not good TO look at, nor interesting
not rich And she? Well, there were
always men, any number of them, ready
TO swear allegiance.
Come out for a walk. won't you?
There's a fine breeze wasting itself in
the sycamOres."
TrevistOn's voice made a sudden break
in her reflections Mrs Presley glanced
up, half-startled, then cast a furtive
look at her husband, but his face was
passive, almost stolid, revealing moth
ing. She rose, after the instant's hest
tation, and joined Treviston on the
yeranda.
You aren't cold, are you?"
oh, no" She laughed off the little
shiver of nervousness as they left the
house and walked on rapidly down the
wide shell path.
