Proceedings That Somewhat Aston
ished the Sexton.

The sexton of'one church that keeps
open doors all day long didn't know
whether to regard the matter in the
light of a dissertation or devotional
exercise. He paid no attention when
the three women, watched by man
who stood at the lower end OF the
aisle, walked the length of the church
and back again. Even when they made
the trip second time he scarcely gave
them thought, but when the trio
started around the church third time
and the man called out, Step a little
more briskly, please" he began to
wonder, and presently made inquiry.
81 hope you won't be offended" the
man replied. 81 am a physical culture
instructor. am teaching these young
ladies to walk. ] have already taught
them to walk in the street, in the
drawing room, in the theater and every
place else they are likely to find them
selves. | am now teaching them to
walk in church. Very few women can
walk there properly. Some lope, some
swagger, some skip, others adopt
mincing gait. All these styles are
very inappropriate for church. A dig
nified, subdued gait alone is suitable
for devotional purposes. Church is
the best place for pupils in walking to
receive practical instruction, therefore
l have brought them here"
Great fathers!" gasped the sexton.
What next?'
But he said no more till the walk
ing exercise was ended. Then he fol-
lowed the class to the door.

the lesson learned to-day by coming
here to church once in while"
