This Is Final Variation Of
"The Girl Who Walked Home"
By Ben Dixon MacNelll in thei
' New* anil Observer:
This is the final variation of the
joke about the girl who walked
home. Back in the early summer
the humorous Journal*, with their
minds gone barren because of the
heat, begun to turn out variations
on this succulent theme, accompa
nying their texts with illuminating
pictures, calculated to stir the tor
pid risibilities of whomsoever!
spent 15 cents for a copy of their (
Journal.
But this Is the final variation.
The Joke has arrived at Its natural |
destination. The worm has turned
square around in the road, as will
Ih* seen three or four paragraphs
; down the page. Of course It may
i not be as funny as Home of the va
riations or not as funny to every
body. but In the opinion of this
department the last word In varia
tions Is about to bo written.
This department was made prior
to the variation by Its hostess In
the formerly remote county in the
mountains some days since, and
[ the principals in the final act of j
the comedy were pointed out, ev-j
Jen to the obvious abrasion*. There
i are probably a lot of lessons and j
moral* that might be appended to
! the story, bill 1 think th?-y are ob
i vious enough for anybody not J
| wholly befogged. They are as ob
vious as the youtlTs healing abra- !
' slons.
' It came to pass upon a certain '
day given wholly to feasting and
making merry by the people of the'
formerly remote county that one
o( the decorative youths of the |
country seat borrowed his father's!
[flivver and set for to disseminate
pleasure amongst hi* arqualntan-;
?tcs. and to make merry with the
populaco who had come thither '
from all sorts of places.
This youth was very modern.1
for all that he lives In a formerly!
remote county. His pants were
very Wide at the bottom, and
stirred up little clouds of dust as '
he dragged the skirts of them
? hither and thither among the fes- ;
I live throng. His hair was heavi
ly gummed with goose grease. Ills!
'shirt was open at the neck, and a
gay-tie was knotted carelessly
some distance below his Adam's
apple His sleeve* were rolled up
away above his elbows.
Altogether h?* was quite a senna
lion amongst the country folk
who came to the county seat that
day. My hontes* tells me that he
| Was showered with admiring glan
ces by the younger females of the
assemblage, albeit their fathers.
| or such of them as noticed them,
plucked at their beards and spat
tobacco juice upon the ground.
The younger males from the hills,
who atlll believe In wearing ties
la the accustomed fashion, looked
upon hi* With some eavy
r Mounting the paternal flivver,
| the festive youth rode gra
! among the multitude, with a great
honking of his horn. He had con
I trlred a cut-out. which added some
i to the festive uproar. During tho
morning ho engaged himself al
most wholly In exhibitionism, giv
< Ing all the rountry girls a chance
; to look at him, and coyly neglect
' lug to concentrate his attentions
I upon any one of them. Apparent
ly he had a great time with hlro
i Rolf a and wkR by no means Inadver
! tant to the Herniation' he wati caus
ing.
i Toward evening he began to
concentrate, and after h while he
i had engaged a homely lass from
the hills In talk. She, perhaps.
J was greatly flattered. At any
J rate, the chance lo rfde In a flivver
I didn't come her way every day. Ho
j they went off. heading toward a
I tranquil and Utile traveled section
I of the country. They conversed
| about divers matters, and the'
! youth found the girl In a very
| agreeable mood. She was bright
land interesting. .
Of course the flivver xtopped
! unaccountably, being u well
trained flivver. Followed the us
ual business*. The ftirl's face grew [
red with anger uu/1 humiliation.!
"tJet out and walk home then,"'
nald the youth, adhering to the
formulae. The girl got out and
stood hesitant benlde the road. Hh?
was seven miles from town and
her folks waiting there to take her
home. She turned appealingly to
the youth, lie mistook her move- !
ment for a flign of relenting, got '
out and moved toward her.
And what did n\ie do? She went
to the nearest fence, got a rail off
the top of It, and mauled the tar
oat of the youth. Rhe bruised him
and she broke the rail. Then she
took a fragment of It about three
feet long and further assumed
command of the situation. "You
get Into that front seat and drive,
and drive careful." she directed.
Hhe herself got into the back seat,
still holding the fragment of the
rail where she could use It effec
tively.
And so they came back Intd
town. The festive crowds were
still there. She brought him to a
standstill In the midst of the
thickest of the crowd. Hhe got out
and joined her friends and rela
tions. There was. of course, a
great ado. Oentlemcn with whis
ker* spat further upon the ground
and observed to one another that
they had thought as much. Some
suggested a lynching, but as they
patched the brulaed shlek limp
away through the erowd. they con
cluded that the girl had herself
done about all that was needful. \
Which bring* the Joke about the
girl who wslked home back to
about where It belongs, and pro
vide# the final variation.

Ident Coolldge departed from pre
cedent and authorized Bruce Bar
ton. magazine writer and head of
Barton. l)uiHtiiic ulnl Osborne, one
of the leading aid vert Ising agencies
In New York, to distribute through
The Associated Press a sketch of
h is personality.
The Interview In regarded hero
an one of Jhe best presentations of
! the President's personality aud
gives a clearer picture than ban
ever been given of the human aide
of Mr. Coolldge. So far aa is
I known here the Interview wuh not
: pre-arranged. Mr. I tart on visit
ed the President at White Pine
('amp and wax so Impressed with
; the President's personality and
his Interesting matuier of self-rev
( elation that he sought and ob
i tallied permission to publish his
| notes.
Although the interview pro
voked much discussion among
! newspaper men iu Washington
and some commented that this
probably meant the end of the
anonymous "official spokesman"
and the beginnlug of a new policy
011 the part of the White House
with reference to publicity, the
concensus of opinion wuh that Mr.
Coolldge was well supported by
acta' of his predecessors In grant
ing exclusive Interviews. Presi
dent Wilson gave two exclusive ifc.
terviews to Samuel O. fllythe of
the "Saturday Kvenlng I'ost" and
President Harding did likewise. It
was noted that Mr. Coolldge did
not give expression to any views
on current uffairs, but merely an
swered questions about his person
ality. Kurly in his administration
j he gave the same privilege to
| French Ktrother of "World's
I Work."
I This, however, so far as is
[the first time any President has
given an exclusive Interview to,<t
news association and there n Were
comments on every side hejaModay
*for the enterprise of Barton
In having been the^ffrst tn obtain
the right to quote tho Presldnr?
directly.
80 far us the political phases of
the incident are concerned. It was
Interpreted as having this Im
portance: For several months the
: political leaders friendly to the
President have been convinced
that Mr. Coolldge alone could
strengthen the opportunity of the
Republican party to retain control
of both houses of Congress.
[Throughout the summer at Paul
Smith's, callers on the President
gave out a series of Interviews em
phasizing the prosperity of the
1 country , but critics have been say
ing that while the Coolldge admin
istration was strong, the Presi
dent's personality was not well
enough known and was not as big
an asset as It should be.
The Impression that Mr. Cool
ldge was a cold and detached In
dividual who mslntalned a secre
jtiveness and silence that kept hftn
from human contacts had been
spread. Mr. Barton's Interview re
futes any such impression and re
reals the President as possesed of
the same human characteristics
and instincts as his fellow citi
zens.
The President In, of course, a
man of few words, but he Is. on
the other hand, by no means un
communicative. When he Is be
Ing visited by public men and his
views on public questions are
sought, he In naturally on his;
guard for It is true that every hint ;
or Intimation of a President's
viewpoint Is considered significant 1
when repeated. Mr. Coolldge does,
not object to revealing the per
sonal side of the Presidency and
In the Barton Interview he has Jus
tified the statements of so many
of his friends who have Insisted 1
that the true Coolldge Is a man
of likeable personality. ?
