The Way 10 Show IL.

Clara Bell says: The neatest way
to modestly display foot is to cross
the leg which it belongs to over the
other. This lifts the foot about six
inches from the floor, and lets 1t hang
in easy, graceful suspension. The
lower edge of the skirtshould lie acros IS
the instep, SO that only the front ha If
of the foot is shown; but that is suffi
cient, in the present fragmentary state
Of slippers and sandals, to show agood
bit of the finely-embroidered or deli
cately-woven stocking. The position
is common one to the most elegant
and refined girls in the politest circles
Of society. not only here, but in Lon
don and Paris. 1t is not in the least
bold or awkward. Still, my grand.
mother-dear old lady-says that it is
vulgar for a woman to cross her knees.
She was taught so when she was young,
and she stoutly maintains that the law
on the subject has never yet been
changed. She well remembers a week
spent in the same house with Madame
Jerome Bonaparte in Baltimore, than
whom she believes no more ladylike
person ever lived; and recalls that the
madame always sat with her knees two
inches apart-no more and no less.
She declares that no girl with preten-
sions to delicacy should sitcross-legged.
| have thus stated both sides of the
subject, leaving my readers to decide
whether they will practice a pose that
is both comfortable and artful, OF
avoid it because there is a tradition
that il is impolite.
