SWAGCER SWAY NEWEST WALK
Get in step! Are you walking it?

Get in step! Are you walking II:
Why, the "swagger sway" Of course
the newest walk to hit the avenue.
It has the kangaroo kanter, the hop
scotch hobble, the giddy glide and the
slinkers SLOUGH backed off the curb
stone. It's pep-it's vogue-it's mil
itary. And if you're not "swaying the
swagger" these days you might as
we'll take a taxi.
Nobody knows just how it originat-
ed. 1t seems to have just popped up
overnight. But it has arrived, and it's
come to stay-at least until the next
one takes its place.
It's graceful and it's healthful. De-
butantes who have been all curled up
in the debutante SLOUGH, at last can
straighten out and take a deep breath.
It's Military.
For here are the rules of the swag-
ger sway:
Hold your back straight. If you DO
that your shoulders and your head
will naturally fall into right military
position. Your stomach, too, will be
held correctly.
Keep your knees straight, and then
proceed to swing your legs from your
hips-not an exaggerated swing, but
directly forward, with your toes
straight ahead, again according to mil
itary regulations.
Come down on the ball of your foot
and your heel simultaneously. A
slight swing of the shoulders is allow
ed as you walk. The charm of this
new walk is not to overdo the swing
of the body.
It makes the tall girls body better
northumberland it makes the short
girls body more elongated. 1t stretch
es the waist up instead Of out, and it
does a lot of things to the back.
r For the pigeon-toed girl it's going
to be easy, for it toes straight
ahead"
Feet Look Smaller.
: And the secret of walking with youl
: toes straight ahead is that it makes
, the feet look smaller, both from thu
1 rear view and the front. If you dom
believe it take a stroll in front of
. long mirror and see. When the fee
were much of them spreading ovel
: are turned out they look as if ther'
:. vast territory. Straight ahead the!
. seem to take up less acreage.
Briefly the new swagger sway /
l. the walk of the allies in direct con
o trast with the walk Of the Teutons
E And nobody wants to walk like a Hun
" It's fine for the office worker AM
. even for the short skirted sister o
+ yesterday. But it is tough on tn
girl in the new scant skirt.
A girl stepped out Of a modiste'
'e with a skirt that fit her like a pilloV
II slip fits a pillow. She minced alon
). for a few steps and then stopped t
~ rest.
n. May Revive the Slit Skirt.
N With the long swagger, sway strid
n she noticed that vampires forget t
H. glide and fat ladies forget to waddl
They're doin' tall of them. A
but the pillowy slip sylph.
All of a sudden she swung into ste
-unconsciously. AS she swung
~ something swung out behind. But 81
didn't notice it. She was swingin
the swagger sway, and you don't ste
to think about a little thing like
rip when you're walking the swagge
Just behind her swayed a fashion
vi, fanatic mother and her equally ia
frantic daughter.
No. ooh, mother" exclaimed the daug
of ter. pointing to the hosiery displs
of in front. Look; that girl is wearll
a slit skirt. The directors is back
.he SO we'll have to do the swagg
arc sway ever if we slash our skirts
do it, says Hazel Carter in New 70
