Graceful Walking.
The first essential in attaining a
good carriage and graceful walk is to
develop the muscles and organs of the
body on which locomotion depends.

the necessary exercises, but almost all

ercises may be taken before going to
bed, and will tend to induce sound

forth, about a foot each way. keeping
the body perfectly still The swing
ing movement should be gentle and
the degree of oscillation viii increase
with practice until the leg rises high
enough to form a right angle with the
body in the forward movement. The
swinging is repeated with each leg in
turn. After a few minutes of this ex-
ercise stand erect and lift the arms
straight up in line with the body. keep

firmly in this position and walk for

close-fitting envelope. Very likely you
have not noticed IT, but it is there,
otherwise you could scarcely have
been out in a sea breeze or high wind
without rufiling and disturbing the
short, soft breast feathers. If the
plumage is white very likely the veil
also is white. But fine black veil on
white breast of feathers Is some
times used. When the white plumage
is speckled with black you notice it
has veil on. This detail of millinery
is called the plumage veil.
