Acquire POiss in Walking
Grace Is Impossible Unless Ones
Weight Ia Well Adjusted

The first essential of graceful.
walking is poise. The weight of the
body must be adjusted over the balls
OF the feet. In correct poise, the
chest always leads, the abdomen re.
csies, the back and head assume
their right positions. Il goes with
out saying that there can be no
grace In nasty walk. Haste causes

rhythm impossible.
Activity and right use of the feet
are the second essential of a graceful
WALK The feet have a double duty

aud i'ropslling the body. When the
standing position is right, one leg Is
swung right forward from the hip,
she knes acting in harmony, and the
ball OF tine foot touching first. The
weight Is so quickly transferred that
ths heal makes no noise. Women
who walk heavily leave the weight

The general saying that one should
"walk on the balls of she feet" has

The position Of the feet should be

decided that the exclusive function

general laws and rights good for all

The coming of the steam engine

new ideas and propositions. Trans
