to sit with her toes turned in, and when

almost invariably slides one foot over

Weakness of the ankle usually de-
notes weakness of character The
woman whose ankles are always wob-

her body is apt to have too weak a

Did you ever notice what woman

the woman's character. If she firmly
plants her feet on the ground-toe to
heel, you're safe in assuming that the
woman in question is logical thinker.
She can grasp and solve a problem
with clearness and decision just as an
other woman who twines her ankles
around each other will hesitate and
vacillate in everything she undertakes.
But that last wholesale condemnation
should be qualified. It's not always
vacillation that accounts for the ankle
twist. Sometimes 1T means only that

what's going on. So before you decide
the fateful question carefully look the

OF course, we don't do that sort of
thing in these later and more prosaic
days. Instead, a womans face Is stud

In the meantime what shall we

still in its infancy and that is the
