It mi From the San Francisco Examiner. : In view of the uncertainty that pervades the minds of athletes on this coast as to what ia, and what is not a square walk, it might hays be well to give ashort account of the tory, nature asd distinguishing characteristics of heel-and-too walking. In England, some Years ago, Mr. Perkins walked the fastest mile ever recorded, in the remarkable time of 6 minutes and 23 seconds. His gait was what is Popularly known as heel-and-toe walking. In the early history of walking in this Bir. Stern made a mile on a New York track in int t that tii eer ry quite a contrast to that of Mr. Mullen, afterward, in a mile competition, open to all fact inp spurted him outol sights “The uses plantin: of Mr. Mulicn's legs and heels was remarked and appreciated, and thereafter heel- and-toe walking became the standard gait of New ‘York athletic clubs. ‘ales were ‘made ulating the walkin, shufling ‘was relegated {> the of the past. In 1876, fn this country, Mr. Arm Walked & seven-mile race in very fast time, thereafter won the amateur championship of the United States and held 1 prsome ye ale though hard pressed by Mr. Holake, No better examples of the two styles of heel-and-too walking can be found thun thove of Mr. Arm- strong and Mr. Holske. Mr. Armstrong ¢m- ployed the gait of Mr. Perkins a hr ‘ae ion, with @ strong swing of the hips, and an even, mechanical and enormous striae. Mr. Holsie’s style was more natural, with very Iit- tle action of the knee, and a. quicker movement of hip and leg. Both walked heel and toe—that je, Une action of the knee straightened, the log just before the heel touched the ground, th: Ing the toe up and necessarily lengthening the stride. The advantages of this gait are evident; id tt it should be asked why it Is accepted as Standard and others rejected. It may, be ane swered that the straightened limb is without = uestion the position of beauty, strength and iil, whereas the bent knee is the sign of weakness, and the refuge of hitehers and skip- pers, mongrel-gaited pedestrians and all such. In'a race, if the pace be toostiffor the man red, he naturally comes down to a flat-footed gait.’ The ballet dancer uses the stiffened knee &nd pointed toe, and the principle of heel-and- we walking is exactly the same. The actorand orator use the extended, full sweep of the drm; the eagle and the king ‘vulture maintain the power of their graceful flight by the wide extended pinion. The athlete lifts his 100- pound bell to the extremity of his reach, and 1f e did not his performance could hardly be culled o feat of strength, By instantaneous Photographs we fiud that the foreleg uf the racing trotter at full speed Is straightened just before the hoof touches the ground. In fact, If @ man fs cut out to be a walker he takes to this straightened-knee heel-and-toe gait naturally. ——— or Faets About the Feet. From the Philadelphia Times. Fashion in men’s shoes again strongly in- clines to broad toes, Pointed toes for men’s shoes have quite gone out of fashion. Nothing in nature, the ladies say, is prettier than a pretty girl baby’s fuot. The most fashionable ladies everywhere are wearing low-hevled, sensible shoes. Chiropodists say that ballet dancers, as a rule, Lave the worst feet In the world. Most of the stylish men who black their own shoes use the imported liquid blackening.

Single leaves, flowers or insects, made as flat as po-sible, and composed of small diamonds set in silver, are the favorites, but little gold roses, and violets, and leaves of different k.nds are to be had also. When the latter are used they are not generully mixed, but are of one pattern, whereas the dis- mond ‘appliques are chosen‘of various forms: leaves alternating with insects, or insects with flowers. “Gold brooches in all sorts of rather simple, uncomplicated forms are In high favor. They seem cut out of the solid metal, and hardly chased at all. The simplest of all's the cravat bow, made in the shape and size of agentle- man’s white tle.
