Al such times she must be crowned Oh or

she is in earnest and all that, but she does

There are times when woman gets throb

those are the times she snaps out

These are the times when really

way by the way she walks. The girl with
chest high, head drawn back and chin held
close to her collar will be proud, self willed
and steadfast Especially il her step is
swinging and swift. The girl whose chest
isn't quite so prominent and whose head
droops a little and whose step isn't so high
will be affectionate, gentle, intelligent SEN
sitive and modest. The girl who carries her
head on one side and steps uncvenly is q
frt. The one whose chest is depressed and
and whose belt is prominent is inclined to
coarseness, but may be good hearted and
affectionate. The girl who comes down
hard on ner heels will fight for her opinion.
The one whose heels are light will have her
own way even through she make her way
yours to do it. A girl whose arms swing
free will be more compsnlonable than one
who holds them stiff and tight.
