Girl Back From 1,100-Mile Hike to Chicago RAIDON CATHEDRAL mera acer oF Po Re ENS Inez Moore Banghart Crossed Alleghany Mountains, Followed Towpaths, Railroad Tracks and Lonely Stretches of Country Roads, Marching Twenty- Five Miles a Day to the Music of Her Gypsy Castanets. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. ‘Thie is the story of a gin) who walked from New York to Chicago. She ts Miss Ines Moore Banghart, a tall young woman, without an ounce of euperfucus flesh and with @ buoyant erectness of carriage which is good to see in the midst of the present spasm of elouchiness, Across the Allegheny Mountains, along towpaths, over lonely stretches of railroad track, down country roads with a single guide, through welcom- ing cities with the escort of the mayor and a detach- ment of police—rain or shine, she “tramped it” for 1,100 miles, at an average of twenty-five miles a day. On one dey she made the really remarkable rec- ord of fifty-five miles between sunrise and supper time. And che arrived at her journey’s end with a superla- nee 4 tively well body, @ full purse and a store of golden memories of eun-warmed, rain-sweetened road. IMound Miss Banghart at the Three Arts Club, No. 340 West Eighty- fifth street, for she is a society entertainer as well as a record-breuking Pedestrian and gypsy. One thing, however, she is not, and that’s an Athazon. She has the figure of a echoolgirl; also large, rather dreamy blue eyes, soft masses of light brown hair and a particularly quiet, un- elf-conscious manner. One couldn't “Why did you do it?” I inquired, with genuine curiosity, after we were comfortably settled near the tea table. “The main reason was that I had &@ perfectly definite theory as to the amount of physical benefit I should receive from such a trip,” replied Miss Banghart. “1 think every woman in New York should walk at least five miles a day. She may have to work up to it gradually, but it represents a minimum of sult: exercise, and there is none better, Every muscle of the body ie brought Into play. | am very fond of riding, roll dancing and tennis, but | sider walking more valuable than any one of these. And no ene is too poor to enjoy it. DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT 18 TO BE TIRED, NOW. “As for my long trip, I believed that a summer spent that way, to- gether with a special diet and a euit- able costume, would put me in the very best condition. Andit did. I never looked or felt so well in my life as I did when I arrived in Chi- cago\last September. Since then ill- ness in my family has caused mo much anxiety and has prevented me from returning to New York until re- cently, But even now I don't know what It is to be tired. Formerly, when I spent a day downtown shop- ping and doing errands, I'd come home nearly dead.” “How much time did you spend on your trip?” Lasked, “And what route an employee of the! ‘iid you take?

Miss Banghart answer these ques- tions before eddjng to their number. “I started on June 11,” she detailéd, obligingly, “from the New York City Hall, And I arrived in Chicago on Sept. 18. day. I planned my route beforehand, you ace, and arranged for @ series of guides all along the way, and also for a series of entertainments. I wanted to make my expenses, if pos- sible. As a matter of fact, I made a good bit more. But when I read or lectured in the evening I couldn't precede it with a twenty-five-mile walk, and twenty-five miles was my average daily jaunt. TOOK NEARLY DIRECT LINE FOR THE WEST. “From New York I crossed over the river to Jersey City, Then I walked to Newark, then to Weat- field, then to High Bridge, my last stop In New Jersey. From there I proceeded to Allentown, Pa., then to Slatington. “I followed the Lehigh towgath to Milleraburg, and found that one of the most delightful sections of my jour- ney. I had such interesting cenversa- tions with the old lock-keepers, From Millersburg I went on to Harrisburg, and then I crossed the Alleghenies at one of the highest points. I travelled forty miles one day, and it was good, stiff mountain-climbing. “My next stop of importance was Altoona, After that came Pittsburgh, Johnstown, Cleveland, Sandusky and Toledo, Then I moved on to South Bend, Ind., then to Hammond and finally to Chicago, whero my mother and sister and brother met me, “I never walked alone. I had ar- ranged beforehand that one or som |times two guides should be with me jall the way, When one man reached the limits of the region with which he jwaa familiar another relieved him. A |ood deal of the time we had a dog along.

But | think thore are limits to what we can accomplish, | don't | @onsider that it would be either safe or decent for # woman to attempt a cross-continent walk . alone.” “Did you have any disagreeable ex- yerienves?” 1 inquired. “Ouce two rough-looking men fol- Jowgd.us along a railroad track for a and @ halt,” aba replied, with ali But I didn’t walk every; seriousness. “I really felt rather un- comfortable, although I had a strapped around my waist.” As .I previously remarked, Miss Banghart is not a natural-bora Ama- fon. “Nearly every one was pleasant to me,” she continued, smiling. “In ever so many towns the Mayor came out to meet me and re me an escort of police. I had such a delightful exper- fence at Miller's Crossing, in Pennsyl- vania. When we reached there a lot of miners were enjoying a holiday. I ate dinner with them, a wonderful) dinner with at least twenty-five courses heaped in big dishes on the long table. Then we all went out in a grove and had an impromptu party. Each of the men sang or did some stunt, and I read them some pieces I thought they'd like. It’s one of my happiest memories. HOW SHE DRESSED FOR LONG TRAMP. “Bome of the farmers’ wives thought I must be a fortune teller or a travelling gypsy. But the men everywhere seemed to think I was performing a wonderful feat. You see,” Miss Banghart added, with a deprecatory smil he news of my enterprise travelled ahead of me, and I think the men expected to s large and rather coarse person.

Some times I played @ mouth organ instead. My luggage all went by train, except a lunch box and au emergency kit carried by my guide, AVOIDED MEAT, TEA AND COF- FEE ON JOURNEY. “During my trip I ate no meat and drank no tea or c as I consider all three stimulants and therefore to be avoided on a long, wearing jour- I lived on eggs, milk, vege- salads, fruit and whole wheat or rye bread.

Occasionally 1 used a solution of witchhazel.

Keaghey, a Justice of the Superior Court of Texas, or Daniel Holliday, son of a Governor of Virginia—he referred, Mra.
