The Hotel spIendlde.


MI. Joseph Almer, proprietor OF the
Hotel Splendide, on Gibraltar's Water
snort street, was alone in his Office,
busy over his books.
The day was August fifth. The night
before the cable had flashed word to
General Sir George Crandall, governor
general OF the Rock, that England had
hurled herself into the great war. But
that was no concern Of MI. Joseph
Amer except as 1t affected the hotel
admittedly it did bring
soomplicatons there.
Assleek we'll fed Swiss he was; one
whose neutrality was publicly as i'm
spervious as the rocky barriers Of his
home land. A bland eye and a suave
s~professional smile were the ever
present advertisements of urbanity on
Joseph Almer's chubby c~ountenance.
He spoke with an accent that might
have got him into trouble with the
SHnKltshi masters Of the Rock had they
not known that certain cantons in
~oWftxerland occupy an unfortunate
.sconn9uity with Germany, and Almer.
lssGlore, was hardly to be blamed
4Or an.accident of birth. From a win
dow OF his Office, he looked out on
crooked waterproof street, where all
the world Of the Mediterranean shut
He'd by on shoes, slippers and bare
feet, Just across his desk was the
Hotel Splendide's reception room-a
ssad retreat, wherein a superannuated
sparlor set of worn red plush tried to
give the lie to the reflection cast back
at It by the dingy gold framed mir
8 over the battered fireplace. Gaudy
steamship posters and Autographs OF
the Sphinx and kindred tourists de-
lights were the walls only decora-
tons. Not even the potted palm,
which is the hotel mans cure-all, was
there to screen the interior Of the Of
Ace reception room from the curious
eyes Of the street, just beyond the
Swinging glass doors. Joseph Almer
had taken poetic license with the
word "splendide"; but in Gibraltar
that is permissible; necessary, IN
fact. Little there lives up to its repu.
tation save the Rock itself. "
It was four in the afternoon. The
street outside steamed with heat, and
the odors that make Gibraltar a last
Ing memory were at their prime OF
distillation. The proprietor of the
Splendide was nodding over his books,
IA light football on the boards beyond
the desk reused him. A girl with two
cigar boxes under her arm slipped,
like a shadow, up to the desk. She
was dressed in the bright colors OF
Spain. claret colored skirt under a
broad Romany sash, and with thin
white waist, open at rounded throat.
A cheap tortoise shell comb held her
coils Of chestnut hair high on her
head. Louise Of the Wilhelmstrasse;

will be held up, SO it will make a
long line from the tip Of the chin

When walking, take a step which
conforms to the length Of the leg.
After finding this length, you will
never be conscious Of yourself In
walking. OF course, you will neither
swing your arms o shoulders, and
will carry the body forward. In u.s.
ing the feet, do not raise them too
high. It is both awkward and tires
the body. The normal way to step
is almost in a straight line, neither
spread the toes outward nor the re-
verse. The former makes you wad-
die and the latter make you appear
pigeon-toed.
Comfortable clothes, also, will add
to graceful movements. Arms and
legs should appear to flow when the
person Is in repose and seated. An
occupation, as shown in this illustra-
ton, gives ample excuse for some
angles, and adds to the attraction
of the girl, but there, is no excuse
to offer for the way her feet are
placed, which is little better than
If she were seen sitting on them.

will cause you to seat yourself with
easy grace and once trained to move
correctly. you will forget yourself.

State Politics

While considerable attention is being
it must not be considered that that is all
there will be of Importance politically at
the coming primary election.
The Governor question is settled, as
Horace F. Graham will have no opposi-
ton for the Republican nomination.
However, for the second, J. w Weeks
of Middlebury and r. W. Hulburd of
Hyde Park are in the field. Mr.. Weeks
hasn't said much to us about his candi-
dacy, but his friends are very sanguine.
Nevertheless, Roger is receiving great en-
enlargement "all along that line" and
judging from the assurances that come
to him it looks as if he would be win
ner. Mr.. Hulburd has done yeoman's
work for the party, and if there is to be
any recognition for faithful service it
would seem that the nomination should
go to him, this with all due respect to
Mr.. Weeks.
1t is an undisputcd fact that Guy
Bailey will again receive the nomination
for Secretary of State. Besides being
everybodys friend Guy" is a model sec.
rotary and the records and all the work
connected with his office are we'll kept
and perfectly done.
The State Treasurer, Walter F. Scott,
will succeed himself. Nobody wants
"Scotty's" job yet and the State is we'll
satisfied with the way he takes care of
phrsc strings.
The State Authorship has two aspi-
rants, namely, Ben. Gates, who is Gov.
Gates sec'y, and very popular fellow
and Thos H. Cave, Jr., assistant state
treasurer. Mr.. Cave is, perhaps, the
best fitted of the two for the position.
The Bennington Banner states the stu
alton correctly when it says that Mr..
Gates "is the best known and Mr.. Gave
the best fitted for the position.
