They idle along. They lie down to rest in a sunny eld or in the shade of a wide tree. . They loaf. I think a walker can ltake a tip from the weather. It lwould not do to be energetic all the time. Walks are not to be measured in miles. A very satisfying walk might be one-tenth walking and `nine-tenths something else. Regulation walkers, I suppose, walk in all weathers and at all seasons. I do most of my moving about in those two seasons that move most themselves. It is not just that spring and autumn are cool enough, and not too cool, to make walking com- fortable. Whoever walks in spring or autumn has the feeling that the year itself is on its way and that `he is going` along with it. 1\Tnl nu .....1l..-__. 4..., _..__,....-.

Geo. l Mrs. Mrs. there are two kinds of wood-roads. some are logging roads and always 3 have been logging roads. Others once Egan upon a time were highways. Years Ids ago wagons and carriages rumbled and rattled here, where now there is only grass and moss and pine ermilim needles. If it were not for frag.- ments of stone walls on either side Lg and occasionally an overgrown cellar ` ; hole, one might never guess what j ,jng5_ had happened. Why did the people`; -st move away? Why was the road left to slip back into the forest, 3 growing old like an old man-quiet 19 and leisurely and meditative? I remember such a road on a cer- ld tain rainy October afternoon. The rain had ceased except for drops 1 4 1 < k I dripping from the trees ,and the wet : yellow beech leaves on the ground and a few still on the boughs made I1 3- a. pale yellowish light within the f` easorfs` dark green of pines and hemlocks. 8` out In And I remember the same road on'_s m_St sunny mornings in early December, {I Sprmg no snow yet, and the steady warm LI 1 sunlight glowing on bare gray tree C ' trunks and boulders.

The road itself wouldn't tell. w 0t 21 I Miss Evelyn Moore left on Monda_v' `to enter the Soldiers Memorial Hos- pital at Orillia to train for a. nurse.

Many beautiful things were shown, including large, .'white, starched aprons as part of !her uniform. A gorgeous winter en- ! semble was among her wardrobe.
