gait, but even this happy darling Of nature
has her little lesson to learn in the changing
styles.
The walk 81 to-day is he stride Of strength
The steps must be long and easy the chest
held high the chin up and the arms re-
Taxed.
The whole bearing 81 the women, nspe-
ciaily her free. long step, seems to speak Of
a wholesome open-air life, a joyous life Of
vigorous exercise and outdoor sports
Golf, rowing riding, driving and tennis
all come into evidence in her walk
The springy, bouncing effect has been
set aside. She now puts her foot down
in a firm, unqualified way that signifies
decision and no nonsense
she steps with deliberaton and apparent
lag ness, but in making her long stops she
swings her leg forward from the hip, 70 A.

matter how rapidly she walks, and yet she
gets there far sooner than she ever did IN
th" days Of her many mincing steps
The attempt at the athlet ic walk when
not properly done has very grotesque re-
suite. II Is the conscientious effort of every
normal woman to walk smartly and nc
cording 10 the prevailing fashion, but the
athletic walk IL perilously easy to parody
and quite difficult to acquire.
Take heed how you plunge into it. Too
often. indeed one sees women cheerfully
making figures OF fun Of themselves by their
earnest desire to strike the pace OF the pass
ing fashion, and one would warn the am
bilious beginner against mistakes
one matter should be constantly borne
in mind, and that is that the secret of success
lies no, in tho length Of the stride so much
a. in the proper swing from the hip There
appears 10 he prevalent impression that
the length of the step should be curbed ONLY
by the width Of the skirt. and the obviou.
strain of stretching beyond ones natural
limitations appears both ludicrous and
pathetic.
To get the correct swing from the hip
you should practise few exercises in your
room. The first thing to learn is 10 make
as little effort as possible and centre tho
action altogether at the hip. The muscles
Of the legs should not he tense, but easy
and relaxed, and the mott ion should bc
altogether sympathetic and responsive To
the action at the hip.
To bring this desired state Of affairs 10
reality you should practise standing on 4
low stool with the weight OF the body en-
tirely poised on one foot, while the other is

and relaxed as possible. After a moment
