Walking a la Mode.

Can YOU do the new walk, the
walk that went out with the yard
>nd-a-half skirt and came in with tho
suggestion of crinolines? We have
been saying a great deal lately about
the passing of the debutante or in
Eenue SLOUGH, and the tendency to
droop the shoulders ana the hips, but
until now there have been few sus-
Eestions about the sort of walk and
carriage that was to take its place.
Now the women of France have
stepped to the front as usual, in spite
of wars and wounded soldiers and
general depression resulting. No one
but a French woman, and Parisienne
at that. could invent a new way to
walk. II was first seen at the Ri
viera. at the Casino at Monte Carlo,
and the Promenade des Anglais at
japanese gait that women have ac-
eustomed themselves to for the last
six or seven years that il cannot be
learned in one day. II takes diliGcnt
practicImg and rchearsing to become
master of this new gait.
The fact that the skirts are much
fuller is not the only one that has to
% taken into couSidcTa lion in this
lew walk. The skirts are also very
short so that much more attention has to
he paid TO the feet and to the grace
with which the foot is placed on the
ground in walking. A recent dispatch
from tho other side described the walk
n this WAY:
'TEc body is held very erect and
the knees kept uGhI and what the
dancing mistrcsses call turned out"
The steps must he medium in length
and slightly spring.. But care must
be taken not to jerI; or the skirt Will
not hang well. and there must he no
suggestion Of dancing m the move
memt. Also tho arms musr on no &C
""uni lie allowed to swing"
How long before We shall see this
walk in vogue on Connecticut avenue
and Sixteenth street?

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to Herald Od1Ce.
U s. Must Think Peace.

No considerable civilized nation, ex- cept the nUted States is now unen- gagged in the European war Four Il1ehs of civilization, controlling four 1lItns of the military power of the planet Is fighting tooth and nail. How Tar the fire may spread before it is out' ana the nations sink exhausted among their graves nobody can say. IL Is much easier to predict which of the peaceful countries will soon be lighting, than to say what nations Will remain at peace. The best opinion seems to be that Rumania and Bull garla, will soon be involved, bring ging their veteran armies to the aid of al- lies
 The United States Is the one bright spot of peace in civilization. 1t would seem that the highest duty rests upon the American people to keep in peace, even if it necessary to tolerate somewhat things that are inconvenient, OF irritating.
 It is not inconsistent with national dignity to regard European necessity as superior to American trade. We may be sure, if this country insists on trading precisely as it would do if no war existed, that it will soon be in- volved, and fighting.
 There is also the possibility that the great conflict arises from causes be- yond the control of mankind. From time to tme, during the historical per iod. the nations have swarmed, de- scending in hordes upon each other in movements that seemed as einvol- untary as the sWarming of bees. Men are more civilized now than then, but are they less automatons driven, by forces they do not understand whither they would rather not go? .
 Man in his individual life, by long continued process of error in diet, in thought, or in activity, may set up an almost imperceptible chain of causes which terminate in hs illness or death. At any antecedent time, before the crisis, each error might have been omitted, or it's injury averted But there came a time when the fatal consequences was inevitable.
 It may be presumed, and, indeed all ways has been presumed by many that mankind is subject to group maladies, such as pestilence, panic and war, which are the cumulative results of slight but long continued and fre- quently repeated error.
 The more enlightened, the more just and generous, and the more youthful a country is, the more is destinies should be within its conscious control. Let each American think peace, and America will have peace.

He has failed and now Mexico must drift along torn by civil war and at the mercy of every pirate who can find a few followers, until a real strong man comes to the front
 If Villas cause has collapsed. it is because Mexico has become cin- der as. a result of incendiary fires; because agriculture, and nanufactur- ing, and decent business are,s at a standstifl.

We see the two evils and the results of the two evils. Both invariably spell war. and always have back through the pages of history.
 Unpreparedness for successful de- fense invites war and it always has, and always will until some sort of Utopian scheme has been applied and found effective, if that ever comes. Over preparedness invites controversy by making restless the country itself and inviting aggression from outside.
 There is happy medium. Whether or not nation can reach it is a question of effectiveness in govern ment. Switzerland seems to have it..
 R. M. Johnston in this months Cen tury gives good idea of the Swiss preparedness which has. kept her peace and neutrality invio1ate al- though she now lies totally surround ed by warning powers. We must strive to attain the same happy me- dium of preparedness hit upon by the Swiss If we do not we will have one or the other of the unhappy sit- uations-under preparedness or over preparedness. A
