But as England's queen has Danish
blood in her veins it Is only natural
that she should have taken great pride
In the display.
The great value Of the Danish exer.
cises lies in the fact that they are not
designed to perfect any particular part
OF the body or any one particular set
of muscles. But they aim to develop
the entire body from neck to feet, and
that is exactly what they accom-.
plish. And beyond the process Of
muscular development is that Of giving
poise or balance to the body. Poise
or balance in this particular sense
does not mean merely that a person
stands or walks straight. It means
thai in addition to walking, standing or
sitting straight Il person walks, stands
or sits so that the lungs get their full.
