How to Acquire Grace, OF Form
Ease Of Motion.
BY ABRIGAlL o
BY AFRICAN Moore.)

BY Abriglil Moore.)
Strength at the centre and freedom
at the extremities." That was the
fundamental law Of the system Of ply
steal culture which Delsarte evolved
and upon which all systems since have
been based.
And that is the law to govern any
one who would be truly graceful.
Perhaps its meaning may not be just
clear to all Of you. Let me try to
explain that the Joints are regarded
as centres. Thus. the waist Is a ZEN
tire. The thighs. knees ankle, shoul-
ders wrists neck, throat and fingers
and toes are all possible centres and
the portions or members above and
below are "extremities." So. Delsarte
meant that in order to be graceful
one must learn to move the fingers,
hands, arms, the torso (trunk) the
head limbs and SO IN quite freely
and independently Of each other. but
always from irm centre. Understand
that that does not mean that when.
hold yourselt rigid at the waist or at
the knees merely that the waist
should be hrm. :
And now let me assure you. seekers
after grace and case OF motion, that
this Law must be fixed in your minds
and every movement made in accord
ance with its precept. Then your mo-
lions will be directed and you will
acquire a poise that you can acquire
in no other way. for ease and freedom
Of motion fall far short of grace un-
less they are directed.
The best way Of arriving at this
freedom and strength is to exercise
the extremities from each centre sep
arately. Thus. raising the arm and
elbow in a line as shown in the illus
tration. Start. with the left foot.
Bend it %forcefully up and down four
times or through eight counts. The
counting makes any exercise less tire
some and helps to establish rhythm.
Now proceed with the other foot SINH
larry. Then. with the rest of the body
held firmly without tension). swing
the. foot and lower left leg up. back.
with the knee as q centre.
Now take the waist bending exer-
cises. with the hips ~ a centre. From
there take a hip. exercise which ia
more difhcult. but extremely impor-.
tant, and consists in standing firmly
on unbent legs and sending or pushing
the hips sui frst to right. then to left,
far - possible. Now proceed
