ground all together, but the weight should be
entirely upon the ball, with the heel, hardly
touching.
While standing a woman should hold her
shoulders low and let every muscle in her body
be perfectly relaxed. Then she should make her
spine perfectly straight through its entire
length. taking special care that it does not break
in at the waist and is not bent backward at the
neck. Now, without altering the position Of
spine shoulders in the least, she should lean
forward from the hips until the chest is on a

The woman who has mastered the art of
correct standing has laid the foundation of
correct walking.
Most. women when they try to stand straight
lean back from the waist, and then shrug the
shoulders and hold them rgidly back This is
all wrong. The woman who would acquire the

they receive the strain of standing instead of

proper poise, and may be held too tense.
At this stage many women in order to rest
Shift the weight Of the body from one hip to

stroys the correct poise of the body.
TO obtain rest and relaxation a woman should
rise on her toes and bend the knees two or

strain on the muscles.
Another manner Of resting is to sway the

In walking no thought should be given the

fine broadcloth. The color of the cos

where faint touch of blue is intro

Russian lace, which is also on the ecru
tone, and the color of which is en-
phasized by the foundation lining of

skirt ends over the lace insertion,
with couple of tucks. Of the same
depth as those of the skirt are the
tucks by which the waist and upper
sleeves are formed. The lower sleeves
are of the lace and are full and baggy
below the elbow, ending In a right
smart cuff. The collar is Of lace, over
blue silk, and short stole effect Of
lace fits over the shoulders. The fur

The Tree Of PopuIism

soldier in the G. S. A. for four years.
Returned to begin life with only an

Texas in February, 1859.
Though democratic inclined, did not
take any interest in politics till 1876,
