Women who desire to appear
attractive should pay considerable
attention to their manner OF
walking. The effect of a beauti-
full gown Is often ruined by the
wearer's unsightly stride.
1t requires no scientist to dis
cover character delineations un-
folded by the woman's walk. The
most casual observer is at. once
conscious of some important
phase of her character. Her walk,
If graceful, natural and unexag-
gerateG Expresses gentility.
If the steps be mincing and un-
certain, timidity, bashfulness and
lack of confidence are evinced. II
the strides be long with heels
striking firm and arms swinging
vigorously, no further evidence OF
Insecurity is required. Affecta-
ton and vanity declare them
selves in the girl who holds the
head and body in a strained boise
as she walks. This girl usually
thrusts her chin out and castsI her
eyes down, her face presenting a
Istrange paradox of boldness Iand
humility. The appearanceI OF
humility. however, rarely de.
ceives. 1T
There can be no mistake in
classifying the girl who Walks
with a swaying, oscillating mbve-
ment of the hips. Her every liter
bespeaks vulgarity. No matter
what her dress or her face, :,he1
walk brands her.
The woman who has lost aliibi
ttion reveals it in her listless am.
bling in wavering line. The
woman who has fecome careless o1
her appearance develops shut
| file, and SO on. With every change
in character is a change in the
walk.

Make Up Postal Deficit With This Nice Pie?

the postoffice department made up in some way.
The president in his message said ''The ac-
tual loss from the transmission of second-class mail
is $63,000,000 year The newspaper goes the
average 219 miles, the magazine 1049 miles. great
saving might be made by imposing upon magazines
and periodicals higher rate of postage"
And right at this moment flood of light is
thrown on one way at least by which the govern
ment might make up the deficit, by the allega-
tions of the Merchants and Manufacturers assoca-
ton of Milwaukee in a suit against the express
companies before the railway commission of Wis
consin asking lower rates
According to these allegations, the profits made
in carrying parcels, which in other civilized nations
is done by the postoffce, are enormous.

OF per cent bonds of which it gave away $4,000
600 in 1898 and $24,000000 in 1907. By this means
it is hoped that the surplus will be kept from be-
coming scandal. It got 100000 from invest
ments in 1902 and 100000 in net revenues-less
than 30 per cent on it's plant-but then those wa
tered bonds had to be carried, you know!

$50 per cent dividends in 1909-or net operating

claim satisfaction over the Souths

was crippled and impoverished, her
political powers and influence shorn

in the South as in the North, and ag-
itation is likely to bring about the
very result which agitators least de-
sire.
Now that the few survivors of the
great Civil War are nearing the end
of their days, we had better spend
the little time which remains in for
giving and being forgiven rather than
in creating new occasions for the
exercise of charity. Our memory
will be dear to our children, and
we should do nothing to cause them
regret. In my judgment, the real
enemy Of our reunited country is the
man who tries to undermine the
faith of Northern or Southern youth
in the moral worth of their ances-
tors. For old men to engage in an
unseemly strife over the questions
and with the passions of forty years
ago, which our country hoped had
passed away would not be an edify-
L
appeal to veteran soldiers every
where, North and South, Union and
Confederate, to avoid questions
which inspire sectional divisions and
angry disputes, remembering that if
each soldier, North or South, knew
to the utmost, the heart of the other
and understood to the utmost the cir
cumstances under which he acted,
there would be nothing left to for
give.
The future historian will deal
justly with our actions, but will
deal with them kindly as we'll,
remembering that these were the
deeds of brave men who loved
their country. Personally, I in
tend to have no part in recalling
matters which can do no good, but
may do much harm to the patriotism
of our reunited country. The veter-
