THE WAY TO WALK

Have you ever realised that one of the best ways in which to hold off the advanee of niiddle age is to walk, not only with your muscles, but with your brain g § wejl. It is easy to be upright and- to swing along with a light step in youth. It is in middle age, when it begins to be easer not to walk but to take a bns, that you should watch your step. Much more depends upon walking than the mere effort of using tired . limbs, for the mpment has arrived when it is essential to walk with the brain, to hold weary shoulders • ba.ck, and to walk faster than inclination would suggest. Active middle-age walks upstairs to take off her hat and coat on entering, and fetches slippers or work basket without asking tired husbands or weary legs just home from school to run for them. " It becomes easier every day as the years go on to say, "Just go and see so-and-so for me, will you?" But a npwly-awakened will sees the world with new e-yes and is alive to the fact that continuous fetching and carrying for any being in this world is one of the quickest ways to wear down family affections.
