On the supposition that there was

both nations are unaggressive in their

HIS TIPToE HAsIT.

'tOne habit I don't get over yet"
said one time fat dWeller who has
now attained to the dignity Of a house,
lis that Of walking around on my toes.
7 We lived In a fat house under q
family whose foors were uncarpeted
and who used TO walk around on those
bare floors fatfooted with their heavy
shoes on-tramp, tramp, tramp all the
time. Over our heads 1t was always
laundering, and sometimes it used to
drive US pretty nearly distracted They
were nice, well meaning people, all
right but they Just didn't think, and
we had to suffer for It,
"But 1t made me think that II their
walking around like that over us dis
turbed US SO, what must our walking
around be to the people under us?
THAT led to my forming this tip-toe-
ing habit that still clings to me. From
going on tiptoe on the bare places /
came to walking on tiptoe all around
our fat, where we had carpets or rugs
as well, and SO at last came to walk
instinctively along the tiled floor OF
the hall without
"Some of my folks laughed at me,
but I taught them at least all to walk
softly In the fat, while with me the
tiptoe habit became confirmed.
Then fortune smiled on us rather
broadly and here we are, as you see
us, In house, where we could jump
on the floors If we wanted to and never
disturb anybody. But the ttptoe habit
formed In the dat still clings to me and
frequently I flnd myself, as you found
me just now, walking around here on
my tees.
"Yeu wondered at It. l wonder at
myself when and myself walking
around that way, when it comes to ma
that ! am tipteeing, ana my folks say
I make myself ridiculous and scandal
lie the whole family. And still don't
seem quite to get over going around SO.
It's the force Of habit you know; that's
all,
But I shall get over it all right In
time. It's an ingrained sort Of habit
but even now, and we've only been here
about six months, l find the greatest
sort of luxury in walking around the
house freely and naturally as | would
anywhere, without fear of disturbing
anybody, and I'm doing that more and
more all the time and 1t won't be long
before I'll be able to stop tiptoeing al
together. New York Sun.
