POWER THROUGH POISE
FIRST OF LENTEN LECTURES BY
MRS. n. L. REED.

Mrs NJ. Landon Reed delivered the first
Of a series of public Lenten lectures at the
Shoreham yesterday afternoon. her sub
ject being Power Through Poise. Mrs
Reed is said to be an exponent OF a sys-
tenn of physical culture somewhat differ
ent from that which has often been ex-
planned.
I'VE are all studying something men
tally the lecturer said. Il haven't met
a woman in town who is not. But L nave
not met a single one who is studying the
body in its relation to the mind and the
ordinary activities of life
Standing. sitting, walking and bending.
Mrs. Reed explained. are the main activ-
tiles, and they are being augmented daily
and more strains imposed upon the human
body as the result of specialized work.
IF we learn to do these things in the
simplest and easiest way, the speaker
added. I'VE conserve our strength and add
to our power; besides we express the mes
sage that is within us to the world In a
way to impress It,
After explaining that by ''poise' she did
not mean pose, but balance, lightness,
ease, grace. control and force, MRS. Reed
illustrated by her own poise, contrasted
with the customary poses of lecturers.
singers. ministers and others, her meaning
in detail
"Poise." said she. lis a physical act.
The center of gravity of the body changes
with every movement. and consequently
the poise. The great desideratum, there
fore. is to learn the proper poise for all
the movements of the body-standing, Sit
ting, STOPPING, walking.
Culture of Human Body.
Study vile culturesof the human body
so that it will always act in harmony with
the mind Mrs. Reed said ''All your
knowledge came to you through the me-
dunn of the body. Is it not right, there
fore. to train It? Nay. is it not a duty
to do SO? Personal power counts for
more here than anywhere else in the
world. but when it comes to developing 1t
by the proper cultivation Of the body,
there comes the rub. The working girl
says, The society woman may need that;
it is not for me- The society leader says.
1T is an excellent thing for the working
classes And all the time, oh. how the
ministers need poise. and the singers who
have a message in their heart but q
heavy weight in their feet and an uneasy
feeling in their hands that seriously re-
tards the delivery of that message"
The first rule. Mrs. Reed added. is to
stand erect on two feet. Most everybody
throws the weight Of the body on the
heel with the chest down. The thing that
is right for appearances is right for
health. Settling on the heel is the weak
est position. Then the speaker referred
TO the folks who throw their shoulders
back making them in many cases sway
backed.
Don't throw your shoulders back" she
said. Throw your chest forward. for all
the trunk is governed by the chest, and
if you get that in proper poise the Shout
ders will take care of themselves An
other rule is get adjusted to the balls of
the feet If one gets adjusted to the
balls of his feet. with his chest up by the
action of the muscles of the trunk he is
going some in the right direction
