How Mrs Langtry Walk.
Foil a long time people would have it that Mrs Langtry could nob have straight; legs, that the peculiar swing in her gaifc was due to malformation of her dear limbs, but when she appeared in " As You Like It," the secret ot the walk was out. Mra Langti'y puts one foot, no matter how vapidly sho walks, exactly in front of the other. In fact, her mode of locomotion is precisely that of walking a crack. Sho has footed it from Madison Square to the Battery, and if a chalk line had been drawn for her she would nevor have missed ifc by a singlo step. It is a gait that in a horse would be called racking, but sho accomplishes it on two good straight legs without having to wear boots to prevent " interfering."
