Mow Mrs Langtry Walks.
Fob a long time people would have it that Mrs Langbry could not have straight legs, that the peculiar swing in her gait was due to malformation of her dear limbs, but when she appeared in " As You Like It," the secret of the walk wag out. Mrs Langtry puts one foot, no matter how rapidly she walks, exactly in front of the other. In fact, her mode of locomotion is precisely that of walking a crack, She has footed it from Madison Square to the Battery, and if a chalk line had been drawn for her she would never have missed it by a single step. 16 is a gait that in a horse would be called racking, but she accomplishes it on two good straight legs without haying tp wear bqots to prevent " interfering."
