the dealers to fight the order. They were

Grace in Execution.
From the Woman's Home Companion.

From the Woman's Home Companion
Whenever we use more force than the
ca sc requires we are awkward. However
unframed our aesthetic taste may be, awk-
wsrdness our own as we'll as that Of other
people, is painful to us: we cannot help its
being painful, for from instinct every one
abhors waste and destruction; every one.
even those who are given to 1T, and every
enc loves goor order and economical admin
istration.
When we understand then, that grace
is simply economy Of force, good manage
ment Of our vital powers. the employment
of flowing movements which do not break
the current of nervous energy for abrupt
and angular movements which do break it,
will even the most straight laced objectcr
to the art of the higher physical culture
hold out against the idea that gracefulness
should be cultivated as valuable factor
in happy. healthful living?
We may perform the simplest everyday
duties in a manner to give keen en-
3oyment by putting little science into
practice. I have seen a well-bred woman
sweep a floor with a dexterous turn Of the
conjuring trick. And this was no attudfn-
izipg. but natural. womanly skill. Doubt
less this dexterity is natural gift, but it
may be in a large measure acquired. There
now. and almost every progressive woman
spends little time studying some one of
them. The pity Is that most of the sys-
TENS are pure fraud, with probably a grain
or two of truth beaten out thin. And
even II the system one chooses as a guide
is correct theorizing amounts to nothing.
Practice is everything, and self-training is
a long and tedious process. Everybody
cannot learn to be graceful. Bodily flex-
ibility is usually acquired with compare
tive ease in youth, and may even he gained
by patient work late in life. But II one
cannot be positively graceful, 1t is never
im possible to be negatively graceful-that
Is, not awkward.
