for y-ouiselt by keeping your
eyes open that the suburban or
smulhtowp woman is more often
lacking in‘a-good carriage than
the girl who has been bred in the
‘city. 3 As the ‘motor car becomes
more plentiful in the land. so the
number of women who seldom do
any walking increases. And the
woman who feels that she can be
taken by gasoline anywhere she
wants to go does not concern her-
self so much with the fit of her
shoes as does the woman who
knows that even when wearing
party shoes she will have to walk
or stand many hours of the day.
They Walk in the City
With congested city traflle city
girls find it necessary to walk on
' many occasions. It is dimeult or
impossible to find parking space
for motor cars in the fashionable
shopping sections. Moreover the
city girl takes pride in the way
she walks through the corridors or

she knows that much of the sites-

pends on the way she walks. Like-
wise she usually realises that to
be able to walk with ease and
apparent comfort gives a decided
air of good breeding. I i

Expensive Wit
The possession 0! out often
serves as. an entree into coveted
social circles. often it brings popu-
larity to the one who possesses it.
The young man ‘ in college who
possesses real wit and is not afraid
to make use of lt‘needs no hidden-
tial friends to introduce him or to
recommend him to desirable or in-
fluential upper classmen. But the
trouble with Wit is that while it
almost always wins friends and at-
tention it sometimes loses them
tor the owner or the witty tongue.
Wit of this sort is expensive. it
you get all your witty speeches at
the expense or others; as the .say-
ing is. you will find that you will
be the one to pay ultimate costs.
Take Mr. Brown. for instance.
He has a keen intelligence and Ta
tacile tongue. He likes society.
