Walking is the commonest and
most healthful or exercises, and few
people realize that upon its proper
execution depend not only the de-
velopment and grace of the indi-
vidual, but also the comfort and
health OF the feet, says Billie Burke.
Walking Is the barometer which
records ones physical and mental
condition. The next time YOU indulge
in long stroll take particular notice
OF this fact Today, in this glorious
spring weather. when you. with
nature, are just bubhling over with
the JOY OF living, you just cannot go
aimlessly along, you <nust have q

ed Wednesday evening, in the Garrick
theater, measure up TO all the words
imply. Before a capacity house OF
: enthusiastic admirers these worthy
opponents of the classic drama, ana
their capable company, gave a most
satisfying and satisfactory perform
ance OF this peerless. brilliant. spir-
tied and sparkling comedy.
The part of Benedict gives Mr..
Sothern fne opportunity. His work
brought to mind happy memories or
his impersonation of Francois Villon,
in Justin Huntley McCarthy's drama,
If | Were King
Miss Marlowe invests the merry,
rollicking, satirical Beatrice with the
grace, spirit and clear, intelligent
reading which has won for her the
welLmerited distinction OF being
Americas foremost Shakespearean
actress.
Frederick Lewis, as the gallant
Prince Of Aragon, in his handsome
presence and excellent acting. won a
large measure of praise and success.
.,The supporting principals throughout
were admirably cast. Sydney Mather,
although impersonating the sinister
Don John, a parsonage having small
chance for favorable consideration
from the audience because OF machin-
atoms against the happiness OF Hero,
was admirably in the role. Walter
Connolly, j. Sayre Crawley, William
Harris, Rowland Blackstone. the lat

splendid In their respective parts.
The production made especially for
the present revival, at a cost of $780,

Much Ado About Nothing" was re-
vived this year by Mr.. Sothern ana

years. 1t was last given In Detroit,
by them, on the stage Of the Detroit

Unlucky Days to Wed

May and February were held by the
ancient Romans to be the two months

before the time OF the Reformation
placed a ban upon all marriages con.
tracted between the first Sunday OF
Advent and Hilary Day. between
Septuagesima Sunday and Low Sun
day, and between Rogation Sunday
and Trinity Sunday. Thus only thir
ty-tvo weeks or the year were left by
the church for marrying.

A KILT SOCIETY,""

There is Kilt Society in Iver-
ness, but its sole purpose is not de-
voted to the discussion of the origin,
history or technical details of this
ancient garment.
Although the capital of the High
lands is the only city which has a
Kilt Society, its members include
many Highland chieftains and Low
land noblemen, as we'll as others in
India, China and Canada.
The object of the society include
the fostering of national sentiment
and the wearing of Scottish national
dress on all suitable OCCASIONS. We
may well wonder, says the Tailor
and Cutter, if ever there has been a
|society for promoting the wearing
|of trousers or frock coats or any Other
garment distinctive or any nation
lality.
Already the Scots have conquered

erages. VIII the airy and healtl
promoting kilt hold sway before an

= New York. March 12.-Whether horse
racing on New York state race tracks
will be resumed was still an open
question after a meeting of represen-
tatives of the racing associations at

announcement made at the conclusion
of the conference by Phillip j. Dwyer,
who represented the Brooklyn and

None of the others at the meeting
would say ankthing for publication,
but it was taken as a significant fact
that William A. Engeman of the
Brighton Beach Racing association,
which had not been considered in the
matter since the revival of racing was
spoken of, was in attendance.
The others who took part in the dis
cussion were August Belmont OF the
Westchester Racing association and

Adversely often brings good luck
1t did to E. S. Wells, a millionaire
who has just died at Trenton. Years
ago when only loaf of bread stood
between Wells and starvation and he
lost even that when a rat came and
devoured it. Vowing vengeance on
all rats Wells set to work and invent
ed Rough on Rats" Every possible
dollar he could get hold of after his
first sales went into advertising his
product. so, within a short time he
had an income of 100000 year.
Here were three elements that con-
tributed to Wells success: adversely,
determination and advertising The
former made him find himself, the
second gave him the heart to do 1t
and the third made him millionaire.

Another woman took her life in

The. grim melancholy of existence
now and then asserts its powerful
grip upon our souls, and then-one
swift flash and al is over. We are
wont to pass an inconsiderate opinion
upon the. rash act of self-destruction
without knowing or trying to know
the unutterable burdens which have
weighed upon the stricken victim
says the Logansport Reporter.
A brave word now and then is due
for those who, looking out upon the
gloom of life, can see for the moment
no light for their journey.
Like a lost mariner on limitless
expanse of troubled seas, rudderless,
with tattered sails and leveled masts,
