Here is new science now being
exploited in the East. 1t is called

that the man needs a new pair of

woman who explains your fate by the
manner in which you shake hands, or
tells of your destiny from the way you

WAYS to make living, but it would
seem that scarpoIogy, as a protection
against working, is the best thing yet
invented for a weary generation.
Here are one or two other mover
things. The New York girls have
new walk, which is different from any
gait yet seen. 1t is somewhat on the
order of a soldierly walk to be seen at
West Point, and the girl who would be
quite ready to use it for the new year
should obtain a few pointers from

next put the arms down close to the
sides. Lift your feet high. 1t is said
to be very graceful after you have

with the new walk as naturally as pos

necessitates the arms at the sides. as
the way the girls now swing their
arms when they walk is anything but
beautiful. In Vienna there is school
where you can learn to walk at so
much per, but then there are all sorts
of schools these days. and even teach
ers who will show you how to breathe
at $40 breath. Why any woman who
wants to earn living should feel there
was nothing-or nobody-to do, passes
comprehension. She might open
school to teach persons how to eat, or
how to sit down and get up again.
There is an immense field for the in
telligent and a larger field for the I'M
intelligent. No one need be idle.
Everybody is either working or being
worked.
