There is nothing so difficult, nctbipp I'd

There is nothing so difficult, nothing GO
rare, in man or woman, as q good walk,
aud no girl a lay claim to style without
it. Trollope, who was one of the closest
of observers, in describing the grace Of one
Of his heroines, spoke of her walk as "a
free stride from the hips" This is toler.
ably accurate, only q girl should not stride.
But M n can have a good walk who
makes very short steps. There are SIX

the shoulders back; (2) to keep the body
from any motion whatsoever; (3) 70 hold
the head erect; (4) to place the f~oottquare.
