l "0h. how do you dor cried Anne. sitting down by an acquaintance in the street car. '.Yes it's ages since I've seen you. I've been intending to run over to your house for long time but I've been so awfnlly busy this autumn that I've left undone a lot of things meant to do. and now I've joined a walking club that really seems to take every minute of my time.
 Yes, indeed, it's delightful We call ourselves the Landioupers. Isn't that a quaint name? just adore walking. and it's so wholesome and so good for the figure. Why, think of the 5enefit that is bound to result from going out in all kinds of weather and doing at least four or five miles a day! l expect to be as hard as nails by Christmas.
 Well no, it isn't quite so pleasant rainy days, but there is nothing so good for the complexion as rain. Don't you. love to feel the moisture on your face and know that is what gives English and Scotch girls such lovely rose leaf color? Really, dear, be- lieve walking in the wet would do you a lot of good.
 I'm having a suit made especially for bad weather tramps. It's just as natty as it can be. I had such hunt for the olive cloth that is used for many uniforms. but I found it at last and Pm having my suit made la militaire. My own design have remarkable knack at designing and run over it as soon as it comes home from the tailors know you'll think it's wonderfully becoming.
 .sYes, indeed, every day. of course. One has to go walking regularly to reap the benefit of fresh air and exercise.
 .sNo, haven't been walking to-day. because Eve been downtown ordering a hat to go with my suit can't en- dure a costume that's not complete in every detail, can you? I've had quite model that conforms to the military style of my suit but at last settled on stunning little toque shape that will be no end of smart with a se- were band of velvet and just one handsome wing.
 ssWouldn,t you like me to introduce you to my milliner? She is wonderful about studying a persons style. She never lets a customer buy anything from her that isn't designed upon the most becoming lines. She makes a speciality of Individuality. That's a pretty little hat of yours and 1t looks very well, but A1dlle. Viviennes would never have let you go out of her rooms with anything so-well. so impersenal. Her hats always seem to belong exclusively to their wearers. Wait till you see mine and then you'll understand what I mean.
 Really, my rainy day togs are go- ing to be sos exquisite that l shall hardly wish to wear them anywhere but on the boulevards. and, of course, country tramps are the main object of our club. Really, you would be .rrprised to know how many beauti- ful country rambles there are right near the city. where the woods are as wild as in Wisconsin or Michigan. It's a perfect shame that so many city people are content to leave unexplored so much natural beauty that lies al most at our doors. There's nothing better for soul and body than long walk on a country road. and it's so good for the feet to get down next to mother earth. as it were. You know I'm firmly convinced that there's a current of electricity in the country soil that puts new life into one.
