Good Carriag e.
BY RUTH CAMERON,

allow well dressed that girl looks"
I thought to myself the other day as
1 watched one of the clerks in a de-
partment store while I waited for my
| change.
Or perhaps I should say I felt it in
the sub-conscious, unanalytical way in
which we first register such impress
sions. Afterwards l analysed my i'm
preston, and what do you suppose l
found the well-dressed girl had on
A black silk coat sweater, simple
white business blouse, a plain tailored
black skirt and trim black shoes
surely a very simple costume.
Whence then my impression? I
asked myself that question, and the
answer was that she carried herself
so well, with such buoyant, graceful
erectness, that she gave the effect of
style and smartness to that very sim
pie costume
Just as one is deceived by the stun
ming figure, charming face and grace
full attitude of the pretty lady in the
fashion plates into thinking one adj
mires the gown she has on, so I had
been deceived by her unusual grace
of carriage into thinking it was this
girls dress that 1 admired.
What a big difference carriage does
make in the appearance of both men
and women!
We were comparing the appearance
of two men the other day and someone
said, "Of course John has the great
advantage of being the taller"
"But he isn't" someone else object
ed. ralph is six feet. I've heard him
say go, and 1 know John isn't. because
1 remember how disappointed he was
when he stopped growing without
reaching the six-foot mark. He never
could get above five feet ten and
three-quarters
The rest of us were increduIous, but
she subsequently proved she was right.
And yet John had seeemd to all of us
the taller because he carried himself
feet ten and three-quarters told.
Whereas Ralph had a loose-knit, SLOW
emily carriage.
A SLOUGH is first cousin to de-
formity. 1t spoils the effect of the
handsomest face, the best-built figure
the most expensive clothes.
At function the other night a
friend of mine appeared in a smart
new gown. Didn't she look pretty? ?"
I said to the Cynic.
Yes, at first" he said; but to-
ward the end of the evening she
slumped down in her chair so that the
dress looked as if it came out of a
rag bag"
A business man who hires the sales
men for his firm once told me that a
good carriage carried more weight
with him than good looks.
The foundations of a good carriage
are laid II youth; it is easy then to
acquire the habit of standing grace
fully erect (chest out and stomach in,
style to the contrary and the mother
who keeps at" her children to stand
we'll will win their ultimate gratitude
even though they may be impatient at
the time. Good looks and good clothes
are advantages which we cannot all
give our children. but a good carriage
we can give-if they will only help US.
