is good deal like winding up a clock.
You tell Longboat to run certain dis
tanee in certain time, and to keep
just so far ahead Of the others, and he
will do It to the letter.
But how would this type OF athlete
compare In a trial with Ene Gould type,
the athlete who combines physical fit
ness with mental alertness, who is the
highest type of athlete?
In trial OF sheer endurance the In
dian type would win. Not because Of
greater pluck, but because he pos
sesses something OF the capacity to
Withstand fatigue shown by the lower
animals II such man were educated,
II his mind were brought up to the
standard where the nerves would have
full play in a competition with others,
where he would think and worry as he
ran along, It Is probable that hts en-
durance would be seriously impaired.
There is much the Indian could be
taught In the way OF running SO as to
save hlmself-for instance, he chops
his stride badly. But even that might
change Longboat's whole capacity. He
Is marvellous running machine as he
Is now, and any attempt to improve or
alter his own natural methods might
only result in spelling the machine.
TWO Types Of Perfection.
In any trial Of skill or speed reQuir.
ing alertness, brain work, the sudden
application Of all the athletes powers,
the Gould type Of man would be vastly
superior to the Iongboat athlete. Ner.
vous energy would be drawn upon, the
quick response Of body to the win Of
the mind would land the higher type
Of man a victor. But In any event
where stolld patience and ability to
stand gruelIng punishment without ap-
pearing to feel it were required, the
Longboat type Of athlete would be-
found invincible.

The material Is the finest white
French naineook or batiste and the
embroidery, whether done BY hand or
machine, is Of the most delicate and
perfect workmanship. Some OF the
skirts are made to be RULED up to
the waist, others have three or four
flounces so deep as to give the appear

come with paneled skirts, the panel
going down the front and bordered on

These materials are all Of French

So 1t went for eight miles, and the

those who followed him in motor cars
and on bicycles saw a change take
place. The Indian appeared to be
awakening to an enjoyment of the
run. He got on his heels and came
up Sn his toes, running lightly. Yet
he stayed with the rank and file for
nearly 16 miles. Then he turned to
his manager who was beside him in

smart.
Cotton voiles make charmingly
