No woman who walks badly Is by
any possible stretching of the truth

how beautifully gowned she may be-.
Her tailor or modiste may round out
her figure with pads here or take from
it there until she is all symmetry, like
a lay figure. but If she walks like one,
of what avail is 1t all?
The walk then, that should go with
the new gown, which will show 1t and

light, elastic gait. a gliding motion

of the body with 1T, 20 that the chest

Our Daily Short Story

On you went, the spring echoes in
your ears--the spring sunshine n your
eyes--to find your way suddenly block
ed by a figure in front Wonderingly.
you took your eyes from the glory of
a newly leaved maple to Zee why the
figure so obstinately stood in one place.
A familiar face laughet down at you.
''Oh, Cousin Grace?' you led delight
eddy.
Cousin Grace did not stay witt. Uncle
John and Aunt Maria as you did; she
lived with her father and mother In a
house quite at the -ther ind of the
town. Nor was she little girl like you,
but beautiful young lady with bright
sunshiny hair and wonderful blue eyes,
and when she smiled--the sleeping
beauty, you thought. ahu Cinderella
and the beautiful princess in the tower,
must all have locked like Cousin Grace.
where are you going?" she asked,
and you joyfully explained. If she
would come with you, she. 100, might
pick spring beauties" you suggested.
And although she laughingly shook her
head over the flowers, she too, must
have heard the spring voices, for she
turned and followed you along path
that wandered away from the road
through ciumps of young naples and
silver birches.
This is finer you cried, racing Guy
to an alder bush. then scanipering back
again. memory of past frolics envel-
oped you. IF only Mr.. Ned were here
you unused .egretful1y."
Cousin Gracee said nothing. but the
pretty smile faded suddenly from her
lips. You regarded her in establishment.
Could 1t be possible that she did not
want him. too? Why. she and you and
Mr.. Ned had always had the greatest
fun. Silently reproachful. you raised
your eyes to her face and two tears
rolled slowly down your tmeeks.
