OF the camel hump walk" It's here.
It came to Pennsylvania avenue rath-
er gradually; but by much quicker
process than that by which the abor.
ig1nal man stopped walking on all
tours; for it traces its ancestry back
to the hobble skirt and no farther.
Just as we used to have the kan.
CARGO walk" we now have the camel
hump walk"
The camel-hump walk is natures
way Of adapting itself to the sheath
skirt. 1t is natures law and probably
the very best nature could do under
the circumstances.
1t will be seen by careful attention
to the pictures that the genuine cam
elhump is nothing more nor less than
an attempt on the part Of the hobbled
female to get away from what is
coming behind her. a direct applica-
ton OF the theory that self-preserva,
ton is one of the primal instincts of
humanity. The peculiar effect is due
to the tendency of the upper portion
OF the torso to advance little faster
than the hobbled extremities.
