and hands are the despair OF her imi-
tators. The grace with which she moves
them is a study in itself She is a
very tall and regal woman and her
arms are long and her hands have long,
slender fingers. For many years Miss
Kaelred practiced this exercise, which
is one of the very best for limbering
the wrist and arms:
Hold the arm out from the shoulder,
the hand stretched out, placing the fin
gers on an imaginary bar. raise the
wrist without moving the fingers; now
lower the wrist. stiu keeping the fin
gers on the same spot At first il is
well to place The fingers on firm base,
a shelf or even the back OF a high chair
viii do. In raising the wrist raise it
as if from the shoulder, and lower il
the same way. Don't raise the wrist
from the elbow. Raise the wrist with
a long, undulating movement, almost
snake like movement"
Some of Miss Kaelred's rules are
worth remembering by the tall girl:
Never try to look shorter than you
are. Be proud of your height
Don't forget that a large woman
must be stately and slow of motion.
Cultivate repose"

And that is a joy that very few
women have. The men who pay com
pliments easily and gracefully are IN
fortunately the kind Of men who get
the opportunity to pay them oftenest.
They are the kind VINO are most in
the company of women, and it is their
liattery and the ease with which they
pay it that does so much in turning
the heads of the very young girls Just
at the time when it is most important
that their heads should be set on
straight.
They are smooth. and easy and
graceful They handle 4 love phrase
or compliment as easily as they han
die the fork. and many of them began
handling both at the same immature
age.
The ease with which they compli-
ment; the knowledge born of expert
ence that tells them just what kind
of a compliment will have the finest
entering wedge, means trouble to ev-
cry girl who believes them.
Their compliments are so easy to
pay they are paid without sincerity.
The tongue has become so adept at
this sort of thing that it utters COM
pliments that are born on the tongues
edge, and that never came from the
heart.
Ease in lovemaking is the mark Of
love that should put the girl to whom
it is made on her guard. Better a
tonguetied lover; better lover who
stammers and halts and can't find the
right word, and so uses the wrong one
or says nothing; better such a lover
than the lover who is glib.

those are lame and halt and awkward,
