USE YOUR FEET GRACEFULLY.

Next to having shapely feet comes
the habit of using them gracefully"
said a professor of calisthenics the
other day. Watch the average wom-
an when sitting own If she is tall
there is a tendency to coil the feet
around the legs of the chair or to plant
them on the ground about a foot apart.
If, on the other hand, she is small, her
feet either dangie ~helplessiy in the air
or the toe OF one foot is rested on the
ground and the other foot hooked round
the ankle of the first. 1t was not mere
ly for ease that our g~randmothers made
so much use of the hassock. In their
days 1t was demanded that weli-bred
women should sit with their feet daint-
lily crossed on a footstool. 1t would be
well IL this fashion could be revived n
IL in walking the rule were observed
that whenever the feet are on the
ground at the same time they should
be placed closely together. the heels
touching and the toes turned slightly
outward"

ma ntnin their flights out OF the water
has teen q question for wonderment
from the earliest ages.
One school of Investigators maintains
the ~aeroplane ~theory-that the fish on
leapins from the sea to escape an
enerny's pursuit maintains a soaring
flight by the mere passive exposing OF
its winged surface. On the other
hand. authorities like Lieutenant
Colonel Durnford, who has studied
flying fish problems for years, claims
that flight Is accomplished by extreme
iy rapid movement of the fin wings.
He contended that the ish's winged
surface was not extensive enough to
support its full weight. considered only
as an "a~eroplane.' The flying Ash, he
pointed out, is equipped with wings of
only fractional sailing value as COM
pared with those of a sailing bird. Also
that II the wings we're many times

But, IN facy, few observers have had

Ash when the strange creature leaves

Colonel Durnford declares he has seen
the wing movement with his own ewes,
and he is borne out by DR.. e. J. Eg-
bert. OF the Carnegie -Oceanographic

MY WOODLAND FRIENDS.

BY GERTRUDE CpOwNFIELD.
As l go singing all alone
Down woodland paths, so green and
cool,
That wind through pickering sun and
shade.
BY rushing brook, or silent pool.
The tall trees seem TO bend their tops,
The pine cones tumble at my feet,
The nodding ferns stand quietly.
As though they wished my song to
greet.
And in some dim and shadowy cove,
The wild Lobelia. flaming red.
Stands listening on its slender stem,
Or waves a welcome from its bed.
The squirrel peeps from out the leaves,
The sun comes stealing through to see
Who dares to hush the wild birds song
And by so carelessly.
So as / wander all alone
Through dusky paths that bend and
wind,
/ move amid a company
OF wildwood friends, most dear and
kind. -St. Nicholas.
