Even more important than attention to the
dress Is attention to the carriage. The girl who
holds her head high. who knows how to manage
her neck. TO give her head just the right grace

girl OF more inches who carries her chin screwed
into her neck. 1t is important for any woman
to understand how to enter room easily, 70

ness. to bow and rise and sit without angularity

suppleness are what the short girl needs. and 10
gain these. especially the latter quality. let her
exercise her muscles. BY beginning early
enough with the right exercises It is possible
TO add not only to the apparent but to the actual
height.
Short women. says the Paris expert, should
bend all their forces to keeping thin. but they

The pressure OF the hot hand on the cheek or
under the chin, too. wrinkles the skin and makes
the flesh bag at the elbows
The pose in which artists delight Is the one
that let's the elbows rest at the sides. while the
arms lie easily along the lap. If womna wants
to be particularly fetching and yet restful TO the
eye let her teach her palms to lie upward and
her fingers to curl just little. One woman who
has made a study Of elbows asserts that they
are index to the character. Bumpy bony elbows
mean a hdgetty nature. Smooth, soft elbows In
dictate CalnnesS and pOise.
