London, Nov. 3O-A remarkable story
was related at the Highgate Police
Court by young man who applied for
summons against another man.
He told the magistrate that some

"saunterers" FIourishins.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London. Nov. 30.-The "Saunterers," a
secret society of men and women who
like TO walk and talk, seem more active
than ever before. They keep the rules,
and the chief is that they carry their
lunch with them and eat it in the open.
There is scarcely a corner in the home
counties that they do not know. And
for seven years there has been but a
Saturday or two in winter when the
walk was abandoned in face of weather.
There is always a hedge or a ditch for
shelter, and the warmth of exercise, the
sc ndwich, and the pocket flask, and the
inspiration of the woman who has pre-
pared the snack.
