WALKING CORRECTLY
KEEPS GIRL YOUNG

The girl who persists IL walking heav-
Iy IS not only likely to lose the Erace
OF movement which is a natural herr
tage OF a geltlewomau, but as she
grows older and her developing figure
gains q prODOr-iauate amount or avofr-
dupols she gradually abaudons the cor
rect practice OF ceuteriuE her weight
upon the ankles and walks from her
hips. thus uDCousCiOuSly acquiring 4
urisElins gait which IS unspeaka5ly
vulgar
Il rs infinitely worse than the sWagger
walk which distinguishes so many
American girls and women
II g glrl OF twelve OF fourteen years
has acquired an awkward gait she can
overcome that fault by taking rc.-1Iar
exercises in running. always with the
arms raised, the better TO preserve bal
auce-
She should start of at a rzDid Uace
and gradually slacken speed until the
gait becomes a brisk walk. which bv
degrees may be lessened TO a moderate
gait remembering II alternately place
- weight Of the body upon the bah Ct
the feet. precisely as If running. and
tneu falling lightly back upon the heels
As she grows older she viii realize
that the proper sort Of daily walk not
only keeps unwelCOue flesh at hav but
cures dyspepsia, and as a good diees-
ton goes hand in hand with Cheerful
ness and clear complexion. a S-noOrn
skin and bright eyes, there is no rea-
son Why the girl who persistentiy cuiti
Yates them should not remain pefsn-
nlaily young

AMERICAN WOMEN

It IS g saying that EnsIishwomen are
better wives and American women bet
