braces, for they only tend to make mat

by the use of dumbbes until they be-
come strong enough to keep from droop-

the shoulders will assume their proper
position.
Carrying the body properly tends to

Standing improperly is noticeable in its
influence on the digestive organs. When
the shoulders are held correctly the stom-
ach is held higher and is more free; in
this way it more readily performs the
work of digestion.

being thrust out, the lungs are more. free,

deeply. People as a rule do not seem to

necessary to life, why rot take in ali the

~HROW away your bottled tonics.
Get rid of paints and enamels.
Learn to walk.
Learn to stand.
These two tricks comprise big
part of the secret of ''how to be beauti-
full" You very probably think that you
know all about them now, that you al
ways have known, that everybody knows
instinctvely.
So we all do, likely enough, but we for
get. If you carried yourself when stand
ing and walking as you did when you
were wee bit of a youngster you would
be better and prettier woman to-day.
Perhaps you are one of the few women
who know how. This is not for you, then.
The rest of you, come forward. There
is tip or two that may be worth your
while.
The word better was not used care
Iessly. 1t meant better. For correct
standing and walking induce good health
and good health induces goodness. You
know that yourselves. Don't you always
make allowance for the bad temper and
unreasonableness of cripples and blind
people and inValids en- the ground OF their
ill-he0th? You call 1t an excuse for bad
ness for cussedness in general. Can't
you reason, then, to the converse?
Correct standing and walking are val
liable as a means of improving ones APP
pearance besides being conducive to good
health. 1t is surprising how few women
stand or walk well. Many go along with
a sloveny, slouching gait. their shoulders
bent forward. the waist line on a curve
and their heads down. thus making a
god-forsaken appearance Not only do
they mar an otherwise beautiful figure,
but they utterly destroy their vitality.
This is one of the greatest and most
common faults to be found the world
over Women frequently appear to lack
pride when they assume ungainly posi-
tions, but this is often not true at all;
they may simply lack muscular Vigor OF
the chest and shoulder muscles, which
through dsuse are allowed to starve and
so weaken. In the end they refuse to do
their duty.
There are certain muscles of the back,
around and between the shoulders, which
if not exercised by holding a proper posi-
tior of the body and other daily exercise
weaken and naturally incline to let the
shoulders droop forward. This in a short
time gives what we call round shoulders,
