Grace For Every Woman

You CANNOT TURN from an ugly duck
ling TO a graceful swan overnight,
but you can cultivate grace and re-
pose in a remarkably short time if
you will put your mind earnestly on
the idea. First, l would advise
studying the graceful way to walk
OF sit, especially Of sitting, for one
is less self-conscious when active.
In fact, right there is the secret Of
grace-a lack of consciousness.
Europeans say We people Of the
new countries lack repose, that We
are good sportswenen. graceful at
work or active play. but that once We
sit down we fidget. twist. fuss with
our hair. and jump up again at the
first chance. They are right-we are
all too nervously active.
Many women feel so selfcon-
scious when sitting quietly that they
are painfully and stifly erect, or. at
the other extreme, sloppy. Don't be
either. Find out what positions suit
you best, train yourself in private 10
adopt them and in public you viii
soon be doing il unconsciOusly.
Watch the way your pet cat walks;
she does it better than you do. She
places her feet gently, toes ahead,
and walks with an easy swing for
ward that is the essence of grace. A
cat has more repOse than any hui
man being. She never waddles, she
doesn't hitch nor jerk. and she has
four feet to think about, too.
Watch other peoples habit Of sit
ting and make mental notes of what
is awkward in them. then avoid these
faults in yourself. Most of all, keep
your mind fresh and full of new
ideas, absorb what others say and
think, be interested in the folks
about you, and presently you will
lose thought of self, and will cult
vate the repose that means grace.
