presented to the glowing contestants.

THE M0DISH WALK OF THE MOMENT

If the limbs be crooked, there must be
exercises to make them straight
Bow legs win give a certain rolling
walk, which is far from pretty.
Bow-iegged women always walk un-
gracefully
And the straight. graceful walker of
the new school must have a full, round
chest.
1t is painful to behold the gait of the
fat-chested woman.
She looks either as though she would
cave in or topple over
There is nothing elastic or hypnotic.
nothing elevating or convincing about
her walk
The woman who walks the new walk
should cut out these rules and paste
them in her hat.
When you stand. stand squarely upon
both feet. with your weight resting
evenly upon your heels and your toes,
which are built to support Your weight.
Never rest on one foot.

pile on magnfcence.
A woman began with merely a rat.
From that she went to a puff or two,
or perhaps an innocent little pun curl.
Suddenly she became violent and the
fever ragged fierce within her. She could
not pass a hairdresser's window without
being threatened with a new outbreak in
the false hair stock

mankind against these extra beautiful,

The new walker requires a tall figure.
If she be short, she should be slim.
so that she win look taller.
She requires splendid leg muscles; not
lumpy or heavy. but evenly balanced.
She needs an elastic foot. This is a
foot with a high instep and double
arch.
The higher the instep and the more
pronounced the arch the more springy

There should be two very decided
arches.
one arch is from side to side across
the top of the foot. the other one is

RESTORING BLEACHED HAIR.

Among the wise ones of earth viii be

The reason is that the new growth OF

to its own satisfied notions.
This gives a mixture of colors. the
bleached hair being very yellow and the
new growth near the head decidedly
darker.
After the mischief is done and your
hair has become. one might say. like a
bundle of straw, there is no recourse but
to patiently wait that happy day when
the peroxide locks will resume the nor
NAL shade.
This may take months, but it is the
penalty you will have to pay.

ITCHING EARs,

MRS HENRY SYMES ADVICE TO WOMEN ON MANY TOPICS
REMOVING sUPERFLUOUs HAIR.

II is quite impossible for the amateur
to remove superfiuous hair with the cleo
trio needle. The experienced specialist
must have months of training before be-
ing sure of making a success of the job.
The tiny needle is inserted. in the pore
beside the hair itself. and it must be so
delicately manipulated that it will follow
the hair as it turns or changes its di-
rectiOn.
The hair does not always grow straight
into the skin: often it sIants or turns.
Unless the needle reaches the paIilla IN
which the hair root rests the destruction
of the hair is not complete.
The specialist also knows how to insert
the needle without giving pain. while the
unskilled individual will puncture the tis-
sue, causing more or less pain, and in
some cases leaving an unslghtly scar.
A scar is caused only when the tissue is
