There is the girl, for instance, with
the "turkey-toed" stride. Her feet
emulate in position those of the awk-
ward bird who graces our autumn
tables, and inevitably she cannot lift
her feet properly, but let's them slide
and shuttle in an extremely ugly man
ner.
Just as bad is the equally ungrace-
full ~pigeon-toed habit. Here the feet
turn in so much that 1t is sometimes
a wonder that their owner does not
fall headlong over them!

out" had sound sense back of the adj

and keep them that way.
Straddling is as harmful as 1t is
unpleasing. A good rule is to walk
with the feet just the distance of one
DOT apart. Thus %straddling and knock

When one walks correctly there is a

The most important Of all rules is to
walk always on the balls Of the feet.

book on the floor, and place your foot
IN it, with the heel free. Then raise

Walking on the heels jars the entire
body; walking on the toes gives a
nincing and affected appearance. The
oall is the cushioned part Of the foot,
and is the part intended for locomo.

For correct and graceful walking
