Is 10 obtain a surface over which the
carriage which spans the basin and
tows the models-may be run AZ high
speeds and with the least amount OF
Jar. This is essential 60 the proper
working OF the necessary delicate in
struments that register and record ac-
curately the various elements Of the

electric motors run on the trolley sys-
TEN. There are four OF these motors.
Two will be needed for runs at speeds
OF from one 10 twelve knots. while all
four will be required from that up to
the maximum Of twenty knots. Il may
be stated here that twenty-knot run
on the part OF a model Is the oorrel-
alive OF a speed OF perhaps forty knots
or more In the contemplated craft
In starting the experimental runs II
will be needful In utilizing the whole
length Of the deep main basin that the
carriage with the model shall ,itain
the full speed Of the intended test by
the time Il emerges from the exten-
sion at the starting end. otherwise the
length OF the runs. especially at high
speeds. would be materially reduced.
To this end ample power will be pro.
yided TO overcome the inertia OF the
heavy carriage. which. when once In

To be thoroughly graceful long steps
and quick short steps should be equal

A stiff walk is also very ungraceful,
and that is the great fault Of English
girls. The walk too stifiy and take
too long strides.
Spanish women have a very pretty
walk, naturally, as also have Italian
country girls and all accustomed to
carrying weights on their heads.
The French are also very graceful
walkers. Study your walk, girls:
Take dancing lessons to begin with and
then repeat your lessons before your

can acquire this beauty. Do It, then,
