KEEP OFF THE FIRST COLD

the pheasant, surrounded with flowers,

ART OF WALKING CORRECTLY,

1t is impossible Ito walk we'll IL the
shoulders droop. 1t is impossible to
walk gracefully in high Nheel shoes. No
woman can learn to walk properly II
her clothes are uncomfortably tight. In
the correct position for walking the
shoulder, hip and ankle joints are upon
line. The shoulders do not stoop and
the head is held high. This may be ac-
quired by holding a book on the head.
Each step should be free and firm with
a certain amount of buoyancy, the feet
pointed straight outward. The ball of
the foot and the heel come down almost
at the same time with grown people who
wear heels to their shoes. Children in
springfield shoes come down first on the
ball Of the foot. And the last walk is
the most rhythmi, although those who
practice 1t are apt to carry il too far
and their step becomes more Of a hop
than a glide.

PRAISE AND FLATTERY.

There is just this difference between
the two degrees Of praise and flattery-
that whereas the former heartens up to
brave and ever braver endeavor, the lat
ter checks self-culture and destroys fu-
ture progress by making one believe in
attainment.
According to the flatterer. the goal has
been won and the great plateau OF per-
lection reached: there are no more dreary
distances to traverse, no more rugged
mountain sides to climb.
All that Is needed Is to enjoy what one
has, and be grateful and glad for what
