BEARING AND ADDREss.-rhe beauty Of woman
depends greatly, after ALL upon her bearing and
address. The most perfect face and form, if de-
ficient in expression and grace, will fail to attract
while irregular features and a dsprOpOrtOned
body are hot seldom endowed with the most
winning power. Our American women, with all
their acknowledged attractions. do not reach the
very highest standard Of beauty often as they
might for want of due attention to their express
SION, attitude aud walk. They are ordinarily too
brisk and this is no less true Of the muscular &C.
ton of their faces than Of their forms. Hence
results q ierkiness, if we may use the word, which
Is fatal 70 that calm and almost langud flow Of
movement essential TO female grace. The Greek
women Of antiquity, who were very studious Of
their attitudes and actions thought hurried and
sudden step certain sign Of rnsticty. La
Brnyere says fool never comes IN or goes out
of 9 room. sits down or rises up, or stands upon
nus legs like person Of sense. habit OF walk
Jig suffy frequently comes from wearing ex 'es-
sively tight dresses, particularly in youth; and
very ugly way of stepping heavily Is generally
produced in children by their nurses aud other
grown people not adapting their walk 70 thers.
A certain relaxation, as itwere. or abandon, as
the French say. in each altitude. and a graceful
snpIeness in every movement. greatly increase
the intensity Of female sedncuveness.
