as well as grace giving.
Pertect control Of the hip and knee move
ments is also an important feature of
proper walking. For the hip. good ex-
ercISe is to balance the weight upon the
ball of the foot only, while the other is
stretched back, and at the same time the
body is thrown forward from the hips as
far as possible. If at first this is difficult of
accomplishment the body may be steadied
by resting one hand upon the back of a
chair.
1t is hard to overestmate the Importance
of knee motion in walking. Few persons
use their knees enough They hold the leg
stiff AMI move forward from the hip as
all. In mounting stairs, especially; they
are apt to raise themselves entirely from the
hip. If they would let their knees do all
the work stair-climbing would not tire them
IN the least. In walking the knee should
be lose and natural, bending slightly at
every step.
To make the knees supple and strong
good practice-is to stand with the weight
upon the ball of one foot, raising the other
slightly, and then bend the knee which is
supporting the body up and down, trying
to balance the body upon it as long as
possible.
NO certain length of step can be pre-
scribed in walking, since this will depend
upon the stature of each individual.

woman as will long stride in small one.

This result will never be gained by trying

and ankle.

II you are like the majority OF women you
know what it is TO suffer from the worn
ooWn heel. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
lhe-tenths of men and women are subject
TO TINS annoyance. To the woman OF mod
crate means who tries to keep herself al
ways looking well gowned there is, perhaps
no feature of her dress which is SO trouble
some as the heels Of her boots. Many a
pair Of shoes is crooked and ruined after
one month of use, and shoes which are not
trim and shapely will spoil the appearance
of any costume. Therefore it is that those
who can afford it send their shoes back to

other women try rubber heels or use those

new and dangerous when they wear smooth.
In gan CndeavOr TO preserve the beauty and
shapelineSS of their boots women are apt
to try everything except the one which would
really aid them-namely, to learn to walk in
such a manner that the run down heel will
cease to occur.
WOMEN SHOULD LEARN TO WALK.

There is no need of any one suffering with
worn down heels. They do not represent a
normal or necessary condition. They are
merely the result of the average Womdn'S

frSt-claSs business house?
Let us first consider the gown in when sh0
is most frequently seen. There are practi-
cally eight months of the year during when
a wrap of some description is necessary ana
to the business woman the ready -made suit
is blessing, not only, because it is less ex-
pensiye than the custom made gown, out
because of the saving of time as well, Tor
all her shopping must be accomplished our
ing the luncheon hour or, if the shopper be
employed in downtown establishment
before O'Clock in the morning. Therefore,
the woman who heeds Benjamin Franklin's
maxim: ''There is economy of time as well
as of money makes a point of reading
the advertisements until she finds described
among them a line Of ready made suits
which answers her requirements and is with

trimmings
EVERY business woman appreciates the
houf when she reaches home and is at lib
efty to exchange her office dress for a wrap
per or matinee, and these are now advertised
DIT such low prices that the merchants, ap-
rarently, are offering them as presents to the
feminine public, for $3.50 buys a prettily
trimmed and neatly made garment of this
kind
1he wise woman does not burn the candle
at both ends by sitting up at night to make
claDorate lingerie but purchases the kind
known as ladies knitted underwear and
tries to be satisfied Herewith. Of course it
is ugly and an offense to the esthetic taste
possessed to greater or less degree by
every woman, but it is inexpensive wears
indefinitely and reduces that weekly bug
bear, the laundry bill. So she puts aside SO
for two sateen petticoats, eight pairs Of
stockings and four sets of lingerie, and then
turns her thoughts to more important de-
tails
What pity that Eve lived before the days
of bonnets, though there are women who
wish they had never been invented Given a
! slender purse and a feminine love of the
beautiful, as commonly exemplified in those
creations of lace, feathers and silk known as
! hats, it is almost impossible to induce these
two extremes to meet. One way to solve the
problem is to cut out the lace and feathers
and adhere to ribbons and stiff wings, for
| these have at least a distinctive style and
| Withstand the most ill-natured weather.

lax the muscles and bring instant relief
Another excellent way of resting is to sway
gently back and forth and from side to side
rotating the body from the ankles without
moving the feet. This not only brings relief
when standing, but is a splendid exercise
for gaining perfect control and balance of
the body.
The woman who masters the art Of correct
standing has the foundation of correct walk
ing. Her feet should always rest in such q
position that the toes will be at an angle of
40 degrees. Toes turned too far out are as
prejudicial to grace as toes turned in. Now,
she should advance her feet in perfectly
natural manner. AS she steps forward the
ball of the foot, being the weighted part, will
naturally be the lowest. The foot should
reach the ground all together, but the weight
should be entirely upon the Tall, with the
heel hardly touching. When practicing
walking do not think of the feet. Center the
mind upon the chest, which should lead the
whole body. See that it is raised, well in
aated with long, deep breathing, and the
whole body buoyant. This will keep the
body in the proper poise, and the feet will
take care Of themselves
If, however, the feet do not place them
selves properly upon the ground in walking
if the toes have a tendency to turn in, or if
the foot falls too much upon one side, run
ming over the shoe and wearing it crooked,
it is a sign that the ankles are weak. A
woman will lavish thought and trouble upon
her face and her hands, which are always to
be seen, but is careless of her feet, since
these are hidden beneath her skirts She
wears shoes which cramp them and distort
their natural beauty, and heels which make
the correct placing of the foot an impossi-
bility. What woman can walk naturally in
those new Louis heels, now so fashion.
able upon shoes and slippers for house wear?
These heels lie actually under the instep, rob-
bling q woman of her natural foot to walk
upon.
Such heels are one of the chief causes of
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-01-25

under the balls of the feet and merely the
slightest rOundness to the edges of the first
pair Of heels. To learn to walk in such 4
way as to produce this result is really very
simple.
In order that the woman who wears down
her heels may realize where the trouble lies
let her rise to her feet and stand as she is
in the habit of doing. If she now directs her
attention to her feet she will find that her
heels are being made to bear the entire
weight of her body Now, if she extends her
loot naturally the toe will, as matter of
course, point upward and the heel down.
When she steps forward, bringing her foot
to the ground again, the heel touches first.
receiving the entire stress of the movement
and the weight of her body, as when stand
ing. Small wonder that under these condi-
tions the heel soon gives out.
In order to walk correctly, therefore II is
first necessary to learn to balance the body
as we should. Standing with the weight of
the body on our heels throws out the entire
system of our anatomy, and places the whole
strain of either standing or walking upon
the spine, weakening it and causing back
ache. This is the reason that so few persons
can stand or walk for any length of time
without firing; why the clerks in shops
suffer so during working hours, why they
Shift from one foot to the other in an effort
to regain relief. Standing with the weight
on the heels also distends the muscles of the
abdomen, causing women to become large
and unsightly in the abdominal regions as
they grow older. 1t depresses the chest and
throws the head into the hollow of the neck
in such a manner as to produce a fabby
throat. 1t causes that ugly lump of flesh SO
often seen at the back of the neck of stout
persons. Altogether, it is one of the great
est enemies to health and beauty known.
Most persons when they try to stand
straight lean back from the waist, and then
shrug the shoulders and hold them rigidly
back. This is all wrong. The woman who
would ACQUIRE the proper poise must hold
