Drama League Starts

Shuffle Along?
By GABBY DETAYLS.
LORD DUNSANY, when in
Omaha last week, proved to be
about as popular as an I. W.
VV. in Washington. Some say he
was accentric and others t believe
him a country boy dressed up, and
till others consider him a plain
"nut."
Anyway, th courteous Drama
league invited him to luncheon. This
organization paid him $500, so the
invitation was surely a courtesy and
' not an obligation. The Irishman-turned-English
decided he would
not accept This was 11 minutes
before lunch time. Two minutes
later ha decided that he would. He
did. But he ate almost nothing, so
busy was he playing with the ice in
hit water glass and rubbing the
frozen blU upon his feverish fore
head. Following the luncheon he taltftd
(uninterestingly, according to most
of those who heard him) and dis
cussed with Mr. Williams the ad
visability of accepting or rejecting
a dinner invitation at the Conrad
Youngs- First he would, and then
he would not then he would. And
it seems that the would-nots had it
until hia very gracious hostess finally
planned to have a simple repast for
the family. Having learned, I sup
pose, that she had not prepared, he
accepted. Anyway, his hostess rose
to the occasion and he dined at the
Youngs. 1 v
And all the while the Irish-turned-English
lord was making himself so
extremely unpopular with everyone,
his manager, Mr. Williams, was
winning the smilea and good favor.
GABBY had often heard that
"Justice 1s blind," but as
many others she did not be
lieve until one day she appeared as
a spectator in a court room. The
judge, who, according to tradition,
' is supposed to be the representative
of justice, occupied the throne chair
and seemed to be the center of at
traction. Gabby continued to be in-
- I rrr1ti1nn in rrcrard ta the maxim
until she was suddenly startled to
hear the judge say, "I do not see."
"""""The truth was out., Justice had ad
mitted that it was indeed blind. '
"The law, the court, the judge la
fair and open minded." This was
Gabby's belief and creed until, lo
and behold, the representative of
justice made the very concise state
ment that he, had "very set notions
regarding the case and no desire to
near evidence aooui 10 oe pruuutcu
by the defense."
Gabby had heard many times that
truth was the biggest factor in the
' trying of a case. But again she was
sadly mistaken for did not the judge
state that the truth or falsity of the
statements has nothing to do what
ever with regard to-the issue.
Honor, or honorable, has stood
for all things high and irreproach
able,' according to -Webster and
Gabby, but it was most astonishing
to hear the attorneys repeatedly ad
dress ,the little judge as "Your
Honor" and this despite the fact
that tbe judge's prejudices were so
obvious that even the girl spectators
rnnld not helD seeine it. He de
clared that he had prejudged the
case in Question before hearing the
evidences, but. at the same time,
said that no person or organ should
prejudge a case. He said thatgurors
should go to the box with open
minds and convict upon evidence
only. But the judge himself was
not open minded and decided the
rasp so fr as cirl sDectators could
see, in a most unfair and prejudiced
niannpf.
Twas a sadder, wiser, and a dis-
sillusioned Gabby who wended ner

LISTEN, girlsl We learn from
a reliable reader of character
that your Walk denotes your
character that your male friends'
walks denote their character. If you
are a vamp we shall spot you jn the
future and if you are big and clear
minded or have genius we shall also
spot you. This is what the character
reader says:
Nothing denotes character more
than th,e walk. You may be deceived
by faces the people, for example,
by whose looks you are attracted at
first, often let you down badly in
the end but by the walk, never 1
Ensconce, yourself at the window,
somewhere where you can't be seen,
and watch your friends as they pass
by in the street. They will walk
naturally if they are not conscious
of being observed, and their car
riage will then initiate you into one
sor two things it might be very use-
ful for you to know.
First, here is what I designate the
v 'Miladi" walk, because I saw it
adopted to perfection by that in
imitable impersonator of bad wo
" nen, Mrs. Brown-Potter, when she
played the part of Miladi in "The
Three Musketeers" 20 years ago in
London. It is a walk with a light,
'soft tread on the toes, but no very
perceptible - spring; and the shoul-
ders have a curious bend or hunch,
which suggests the crouch of a vul
ture or some other bird or beast of
prey. People with this walk (it is
more common with women than

Heart Beats
By A. K.
Two years ago
God sent from Heaven
A spirit clothed
In human flesh.
He made it white
With dimpled hands
Peach pink cheeks
From the clouds
Of dawn.
For eyes He took
The choicest bits
From the blue
Of the sky
As the child passed by.
For hair He plucked
Little strands of gora
From the Sun's bright rays
In the afternoon
And He curled It around
An Angel's finger
And showered It on
The baby's head.
Then the angel touched
Her finger tips
And kissed her cheeks
To say farewell
To the dear little soul
Who had left the Above
An earthly prize
Another link v
Between the two
Great worlds.
Every kiss
Left a dimple sweet-
Celestial memory lingers

And
As the angel
Sailed away
To mysterious skiesV-
Of her own abdde
She left behind
This beautiful symbol
Of Heaven and earth
And the Hand of God
Whom we all know
As Carolyn Byrne.
Who cares a minute
That turkeys are scare
When He sends
Such babies to smile.
For this t . 4 -
And her kind
We have great Thanksgiving
The race's salvation
The reminder of Heaven."

are cruel, greedy, callous and, over
and above all, subtle. It is the walk
cf the" female Mephistopheles.
Then there is the typical "busi
ness" walk; the walk with the figure
very upright, the steps short, brisk
and regular. It is an automatic walk,
solely confined to business people,
and it denotes intense practicability
and method and an entire absence
of imagination.
Then there is the affected, mincing
walk, where the stride is very short
and the steps mostly on the toes.
There is nothing sharp or decisive
about this walk; it is, if anything,
cautious and wary, and the walkers
seem to have their attention divided
between being eternally on the look
out for puddles or other danger
spots, and showing off their shoes
and ankles -to the best advantage.
People who affect this unnatural
style of walk are vain and petty.
Their horizon is strictly limited to
"looking nice" and trying to attract
attention. They are incapable of any
big-hearted actions, but are in
variably nonmagnanimous and
mean.
Another walk with which one is
tolerably familiar is the springy
walk the walk that is characterized
by rather big strides and a kind of
bound, as it the walkers sinews
were made of India rubber. If -not

dicates an extremely active and op
timistic mind one who sees a very
distinct silver lining to every cloud,
and is quite sure thev can eet on in
the world. If very much emphasized,
however, the walk denotes extreme
eccentricity and egotism, and is only
met with in cranks and mono
maniacs.
Then there is the shuffling walk.
The chiet characteristic of this walk
is sloppir.ess, and it is invariably as
sociated with people of very untidy

habits-people who are very me
thodical, and often miserly.
It is not infrequently met with
in great thinkers, philosophers or
scientists, men with' marked genius,
and who are often abrupt and cro
chety in their manners. If very pro
nounced, indeed, it indicates a de
gree of eccentricity that verges on
downright madness.
Another peculiar, walk is that of
the long stride with the decided
swing of the shoulders. This walk is
generally to be seen in authors,
actors and artists, and is character
istic of the art world, the man who
has ideas of his own, and is quite
untrammeled by convention. It de
notes independence, and, if accom
paied by an emphatic planting down
of the left foot, a stamp in fact,
resolution and determination.
The rolling gait in walking shows
geniality and jollity; the stiff, up
right carriage, firmness, love of con
vention and lack of sympathy. The
former is common to sailors and
people who live a very free, out-of-
door kind of life and "do themselves
well"; the latter to ministers, peo
ple with the legal turn of mind, and
particularly, the blue-stocking type
of woman.
JUST a short time ago it was
gossiped about town that a
young man, prominent in many
lines, was engaged to an out-of-town
girl, she is from Spokane to
be exact. He is very handsome
looking and served overseas as
a major in the heavy artillery. As
some one remarked, "quite a war
romance. They met midst shot a,nd
shell in the poppy fields of sunny
France. Handsome major and
pretty nurse, they were. Who could
blame Cupid for getting busy?" It
has developed that the girl is very,
wealthy to say the least. She fairly
"jingles with lucre."
When one man made the remark
that it was indeed finding a gold
mine for Mr. Omahan to have a rich
orphan girl fall in love with him,
another made the answer that "it
