Impatient at the hind ring stones,
Yet leaping gayly in its song
OF mingled Joy and inonotones.

Restored my happy self again.

WHEN WOMAN is NOT GRACEFUL
Conditions Under Which She Manages TO
Look Absurd.

Why is it that, notwithstanding the
worship accorded to woman in the alb
stract, she generally manages to look
absurd under conditions wherein men
try to keep their dignity? Is it stereo-
typed convention which hampers our
judgments, or are these things really
facts: For instance, there is nothing re-
markable in an old gentleman crossing
street or even walking in q gale Of
wind, but place an elderly woman,
somewhat portly, in the same situation,
and the result is caricature. Her pet
ticoats outline her shape absurdly, a
vast cxpanse Of stocking fills doubt
full gap, and her feet seem to struggle
helplessly.
Few women can enter a carriage,
mount the steps Of a coach or hurry in
to hanson gracefully, while the spec
taclc Of a woman getting into boat is
far from pleasing. A stout lady ON BIZ
cycle gives fair cause for ridicule, and
yet fat people dance far more lightly
and buoyantly than thin people The
slimmcst girl cannot run prettily, and
as for football, we have seen the re-
suits
But, to leave the sphere Of athletics,
dowager in low dress is far from
pleasing, while the multiplicity Of OBJ
jects carried by a woman when out shop
ping seems to hamper and render her
movements awkward. She has none Of
the convenient pockets affected by men,
she is always seeking for her pocket
handkerchief or struggling to extract
her purse from the black folds Of her
gown, or burdened with an umbrella,
parcel, satchel or with her dress it.
self. On journey she is hot and Aus-
tered and in hurry and numbered
with many cares, while man drops
easily into his seat, unfolds his paper
and smokes or thinks, impervious to
fate. A woman is only really graceful
when she is at rest, lolling in carriage
or sitting in drawing room or else
dancing, when she has the genius for it

It would seem sometimes that the art
Of graceful walking might be numbered
among the lost sciences, SO few women
master the accomplishment or even ac-
quire any approach to perfection in this
exercise, which is the foundation of all
others. Every one succeeds in propelling
themselves along by means Of their feet,
but that is not true walking. An Eng
lish authority says, 1.-The body should be
held erect, the shoulders down, chest
extended and the leg moved from the
hip, the whole figure above being i'm
movable. "-Philadelphia Times

A nobleman once entered into con-
spiracy against the Russian emperor
and was sentenced to Siberia. His eyes
were bandaged, and he was put into a
dark carriage, and for seven days and
nights they travelled on and on, only
stopping to take food. At last no felt
they must have reached Siberia, and in
the utmost anguish he perceived that
the carriage had stopped, and the band
age was taken off his eyes, and-he was
in his own home! He had been driven
round and round st. Petersburg the
whole time, but the fright cured him. -
