women out Of ten stand just so. Nine

belle stands TO talking to her best young

Here it is: Shoulders sagged down
and forward, hollow at the pit of the
stomach, abdomen thrust out, small of
the back shrunk in. and the feet, though
not exactly ''toed in" certainly too
straight for correct carriage.
No, it does no good to brace back
your shoulders-you simply push out
the shoulder blades and make matters
more hopeless looking than ever.
Draw the abdomen back and raise
the chest! There is the whole secret of
position. This simple action throws
all the other features into place. I'm
consciously the head throws itself back
and up, to be in keeping. The shoulders
are even and straight without strain,
the line of the back is straight and
firm, ending in quite a pretty and be-
coming natural hustle, the hips hang at
an entirely pew angle and it is impos-
siblo now to "toe-in." The arms have
gained lifeliko expression, in place
of the hung ON wire" look and even
the fingers curve in more dainty fash

Each of the disabled ironclads was
now in tow of sister vessel or of tugs,
except the Llangaron. This great ship
had been disabled so early in the contest,
and her broadSide had presented such a
vast surface to the northwest wind, that
she had driited much farther to the
south than any other vessel. Conse-
quently before the arrival of the tugs
which had been sent for to tow her into
the harbor, tie Llangaron was well on
her way across the channel. A foggy
night came on. and the next morning
she was ashore On the coast of France,
with Il mile Of water between her and
dry land. Fast rooted in great sand
bank she lay week after week, with the
storms that came in from the Atlantic
head Of said bay. The castellated struct
ure was rather old, the fortress some
what less SO; and both had long beer
considered useless. as there was no prob
ability that an enemy would land at thi.
point on the coast.
Caerdaif was therefore selected as tho
spot to be operated upon. No one could
for moment imagine that the syndicate
had mined this place. and if it should bt
destroyed by motor bombs it would prove
to the country that the government hal
not been frightened by the tricks of g
crafty enemy.
