ADVICE TO SPEED WALKERS
Novice on Track Must Learn 10 Hold

His Pins" ..

In starting on the track the novice

the forearms in a horizontal position, at
right angles to the part of the arms
above the elbows. He should have a
feeling Of being well balanced on his
pins says a writer in Outing.
The weight must be kept on the
heels-therein lies the chief secret
Of walking fairly. Speed depends on
two factors, the length and the fire.
quency of the stride. Experiments

comes greater as the frequency in
creases.
Arm action should be carefully cul-
tivated. Properly used, the arms
seem to act as levers to lift forward
the body. besides helping to balance
it. In each stride one foot should be
always on the ground and at some mo-
ment of the stride some part of both
feet should be on the ground stimuli
aneously-that is the first necessity.
Second in importance is to have the
walk heel and toe"-that is, the heel
Of each foot should strike the ground
Enthusiastically first and the toe Of each
foot should be the last part to leave it.
One should not walk flat-footed, with
the ball of the foot or any part except
the heel striking the ground before the
heel does Lastly, the knee should
be locked" at the end of each stride
the grounded leg should be stiff and
taut as the loose leg swings out for the
next stride.

The unusual and distinguished style
OF this costume has been achieved
by the employment of familiar mate
rails. White wolfe, very fine in quail
ity, filet lace, with an open mesh,
soutache braid. and pearl buttons are
all staple goods well known and we'll
loved.
The pretty fashion of posing one
transparent fabric over another shows
to excellent advantage in the skirt
The underskirt of wolfe is full and
round. Above the two-inch hem there
are seven narrow tucks an inch and
half apart. Just above the knees a
band of braiding, in an ornamental
scroll pattern, is applied all around
the underskirt, finishing it's decora-
ton.
The overdress of filet lace does not
extend to the bottom of the under
lAlirt, but is shorter by about nine
Xches. 1t is gathered in at the waist
line with the wolfe, leaving a panel
OF the underskirt uncovered at the
front, for the lace does not extend
across the entire front of the gown.
1t is caught up and fastened to the
underskirt just below the knees at
each side, forming a slight drape.

"moyen age" inspiration, the draping

FOND OF QUOTATION MARKS
Irish Editor Thought Them Protection
Against Libel Suit and Excuse
for Eccentric Style.

Judge Bodkin's book Of reminis-

manuscript.
He had one curious delusion. He
fanced that inverted commas were a
protection against a libel action. and
stranger still, an excuse for any &C.
centricities of style. On one occasion
Mr.. Bodkin, in describing a theatrical
performance, wrote that it was "ex.
quisitely amusing" "Old G." cooked
his head critically on one side. II

said. "All right, sir" answered, "I'll

P0ETESS AND TIN R00FER
Beautifully Expressed Thoughts Of
Viola Sounded to Mike Like the
Ideal Smoking Mixture.

The Skickwurt sitting room was
bathed in the soft red light of cigar

says.
Mrs. Viola Skickwurt was in silent
ecstasy, her eyes turned to the ceiling.
She was poetess.
Mike Skickwurt, being just tin
roofer. was merely lost in thought
Was he again marveling that so gift
ed and beautiful woman should have
chosen humble tin roofer as her
heaven-sent mate?
Violas lips began to move-a com.
mon phenomenon with her when she
was speaking.

celestial beauty with halo of hyp0-

that surely the angels are with US,

Her husband stirred thoughtfully.

Mothers Constancy.

There is an enduring tenderness in
the love of a mother for a son that
transcends all other affections of the
heart. 1t is neither to be chilled by
selfishness nor daunted by danger nor
weakened by worthlessness nor stifled
by ingratitude. She will sacrifice ev.
cry comfort to his convenience; she
will surrender every pleasure to his
enjoyment; she will glory in his fame
and exult in his prosperity; and, if
misfortune overtake him, he will be
the dearer to her through his misfor.

name, she will still love and cherish
him in spite of his disgrace; and, if
all the rest of the world cast him off.
she will be all the world to him.-New

For many generations the Panama
hat was woven in one shape, and 1t
took much urging and good manage
ment on the part of those who bought
and imported the genuine South Amer

But finally this was accomplished and
now one may buy a Panama in almost
any shape. Not all the hats known by

mas), but whether made in Japan or
Connecticut, or brought from Its ma
tive home, the Panama is a beautiful
product.
1t is and is likely to continue to be
the ideal hat for midsummer outing

is soft enough to be comfortable, and
uncrushable and firm enough to need
no support. It is made with the inten-
zion Of fitting the head, as to the
crown, and for shading the eyes, as to
the brim. But IN the past few seasons
Il has been possible to get Panamas
with very wide brims, and these have
added one more to the number Of
wide-brimmed straws used for the
picturesque flower.laden millinery Of
midsummer.
But the hat that Is dearest to the
heart OF lovers of the Panama is that
which keeps as close as possible to

No HouseWork There.

Stephen Graham says that the Rus
sian peasant woman has little or no
housework to do, as there are no beds
to make, all the family sleeping on
hay in the barns or on coats on the
floors. There are no stockings to darn,
as they all 60 barelegged, and no
dishes to wash, as they all eat out OF
one dish and take the meat in their
fingers. All the cooking is done in one
pot, meat and vegetables being cooked
together. Mothers do not bother about
their children and practically all the
housework they have to do is to sweep
out the room once in while.
