USED CHURCH AS schoolroom proceedings that somewhat aston dished the sexton the sexton of one church that keeps open doors all day long dian didn t know whether to regard the matter in the light ot a desecration or a devotional exercise he paid no attention when the three women watched by a man who stood at the lower end ot the aisle walked the length ot the church and back again even when they made the trip a second time he scarcely gave them a thought but when the trio started around the church a third time and the man called out step a little more briskly please he began to wonder and presently made inquiry I 1 hope you won t be offended the man replied I 1 am a physical culture instructor I 1 am teaching these young ladles to walk I 1 have already taught them to walk in the street in the drawing room in the theater and every place else they are likely to find them selves I 1 am now teaching them to walk in church very few women can walk here properly some lope some swager some skip others adopt a gait all these styles are very inappropriate for church A dig rifled subdued gait alone Is suitable tor devotional purposes church is the best place for pupils in walking to receive practical instruction therefore I 1 hav brought them here great fathers gasped the sexton what next but he said no more till the walk ing exercise was ended then he tol lowed the class to the door I 1 hope he said you will practice the lesson learned today to day by coming here to church once in a while
