A pastime which can please the boy as well. MY CHOICE —MOTORING, DRIVING,OR WALKING ? BY DOROTHY DE WITT (AGE 10) I SUPPOSE a good many people like to go motoring ordriving better than they do walking, but I prefer walking. I like to walk in the cool, shady woods, under the greattrees, or sit by the sparkling brook and watch the waterripple merrily over the smooth pebbles. The trout playhide-and-seek among the stones, but never seem to be therewhen you go fishing. It is even pleasant to walk along a dusty highroad wherehouses are located — houses that I have never seen before,of whose occupants I do not know. Then it is fun to guesswhat the names of the families might be. There are somany pleasant and interesting tilings that I can see betterif I walk, that I like it better than motoring c driving.
