The Lost Art of Walking.

Can YOU walk? OF course your feet
can pull YOU around a few steps at time.
You progress very comfortably from your
he'd to your tub, from tub TO breakfast
from breakfast 10 the elevator, from the
elevator TO the subway and so on through
the tiny relics of pedestrianism which are
left in a machine-run city life. But II all
the wheels stop running Gas a good many
of them are threatening to do Just now)
can you swing out like a genuine biped
and march the five or ten miles a day
necessary to get you to and from bust
ness?
The Plattsburgh rockies could. Our
admirable dancers could-or if they could
not march the length of Broadway they
could fox-trot il, at any rate. very
large section of humanity has been for
getting the art of walking so rapidly that
a ten-mile jaunt would be almost as ar
duous an impossibility as toe dancing or
a double turn on the high trapeze. Street
cars began the gripping work, elevators
followed and the automobile is just com
pleting the job.
The chaise-Iongte type of woman mas
practically disappeared. But the chase
Tongue man is rapidly filing her place
Only, his spot for reclining is not an En-
pire couch but an automobile seat 1t is
frightful bore, but he can still ambulate
all the way from his breakfast table 70
the twelve-cylinder car. There he leans
back, surveying the world through steer
ing wheel and bringing up such parts OF
it as he desires in nearer view by merely
waggling an ankle and bending an elbow
once and again. A demoralizing life 1t
is we lead, and demoralizing to the legs
above all else. Shall they presently relax
turn labby and waste away to a rudlmen-
tary state comparable to the lot OF tails

Better a car strike every year than any

not her great beam, and the height OF
her after-works, given her majesty,
something of the royal look which all
ships have in some proportion. The
virtue of man had been busy about
her. An artists heart, hungry for
beauty. had seen the idea of her in
dream; she had her counterpart IN
the kingdom of vision. There was
spirit in her, as there is in all things
fashioned by the soul of man; not
spirit of beauty, not a spirit OF
strength, but the spirit of her builder,
Peruvian Spaniard. She had the
impress of her builder in her, a
mournful state, kind of battered
grandeur, likeness to a type of man
hood. There was in her beauty not
quite achieved as though, in the husk
of the man, the butterhy's wings were
not quite free. There was in her
strength that was clumsy; almost the
strength of one vehement from fear.
She came from a mans soul, stamped
with his defects"
When you are once aboard such a shil
weet and salt and personable, you wi
rave where she wills, slang or no slang.

No Hurry for Reapportionment.

Governor Whitman's decision not to call
an extraordinary session Of the Legislat-
ure to make an apportionment to replace
the unconstitutional one made at the regu-
lar session is wise. There is no great
public emergency TO meet. So far as the
people are concerned, an election under the
apportionment of 1907 can be held with as
much justice as under any new apportion-
ment which might be made at an extra
session. The individuals concerned with
the issue are the political managers Of the
various parties. An extraordinary ses-
sion would cost large sum Of money-too
much TO spend, in the states present finan-
eial condition, for the making Of new dis
tricts TO suit politicians who happen TO be
in the ascendant.
The disappointment Of politicians and
legislators who hoped, by new grouping OF

territory, to map out "sure" districts or to
eliminate rivals will arouse the sympathy
of discerning voters, of course. But sym
pathy is easier to bestow than dollars.
The Legislature Of 1917 may prove more
competent TO make legal apportionment
than the Legislature Of 1915. The public
at large will be quite willing to leave the
Job to the men who will take office next
year.

When I looked into your eyes,

With peonies, and tinkling pagodas,
And round-arched bridges

A woman sat beside the water
In a rain-bue, silken garment
She reached through the water
To pluck the crimson .onies
Beneath the surface,
But as she crasped the stems,
They Jared and broke into white greer

And as she drew out her hand,
The wateT-drops dripping from it
Stained her rain-blue dress like tears.
