There is the girl, for instance, with

emulate in position those of the awk-
ward bird who graces our autumn
tables, and inevitably she cannot lift
her feet properly, but lets them slide
and shuttle in an extremely ugly man.

Just as bad is the equally ungrace-
full pigeon-toed habit. Here the feet
turn in so much that it is sometimes
a wonder that their owner does not
fall headlong over them!
The old dancing master, whose in
variable rule was, Turn your toes
out had sound sense back of the ad-
juration. The only cure for turning
the toes in is to turn them out again,
and keep them that way.
Straddling is as harmful as it is
unpleasing. A good rule is to walk
with the feet just the distance of one
foot apart. Thus straddling and knock
kneedness are alike avoided.
When one walks correctly there is a
straight line from the ears, through
the shoulders and hips, to the feet,
Just as when one sits correctly there
is straight line from the ears to the
center of the sides of the chair.
The most important of all rules is to
walk always on the balls of the feet.
To locate the ball, put a box or large
book on the floor, and place your foot
on 1t, with the heel free. Then raise
the toes and the remaining portion is
the ball.
Walking on the heels jars the entire
body; walking on the toes gives a

confidence in the young Corsican

you please give us some suggestions
about amusements and costumes for
Scotland? Also suggestions for decor

men and women and methods for
dressing women's hair for China?

For Scotland use plaids of Scottish
origin, have Scotch airs played and

bag pipe If possible. For China, the
men wear queues, loose trousers and
shirts and the women short skirts
with shirt-like waists; the hair is
wound in coil at the back, fastened
with many ornaments, the front a
slick, smooth pompadour.
