fairly filling the water and eating even
jelly fishes to satisfy their hunger. No

several rushed at 1t, and the boat near

fishermen Immediately changed their
tackle and began fishing for dogfish

effort to produce a sound. and It may

If you want TO walk gracefully don't

little thoughtfulness and practice in
high-stepping will soon break you OF
this ugly habit. Don't bend back at
the waist. under the impression that
you are thereby walking erectly. II
throws the stomach forward and is al.
most as inlmical to grace as round
shoulders. Finally, don't allow your
