and knit the limbs and electrify the whole
body, running out OF doors, on green sward, of

healthy girl to run as it is for her to sing. The
Greek running was not ladylike, with arms held
to the side, but the frieze of maidens with
round tossing limbs and short TUNES in any

equally on running because it is boyish, and
dancing because IL is tabooed, they may find

girls stretch their muscles and ply their limbs,
