orally believed. The habit of loung- ing in graceless attitudes affects ones carriage in standing and walking.
 Some women who carry themselves in a nobly erect posture while stand ing or walking will relax unwisely as soon as they are seated. They will let their shoulders droop, head bend forward and the hips sag. This strains the back and shoulders as well as spells ones general carriage.
 When sitting the spine should bo perfectly erect. If you sit well back in the chair, you will have all ths support your body needs.
 One should "fit'' a chair so that it's comfortable, just as one fits gar- ment. Indeed, there should be even more care, because a chair to which we grow accustomed affects us mora and can be a source of great discom- fort if unwisely chosen.
 When you are sewing or reading, use a straight-backed chair, so the shoulders are supported and the head is naturally thrown back 9th erwise there will be too much of | tendency to slouch in the chair while bending over ones reading or work desk.
 If you must bend over your work, lean over from the hips and not from the waist-line. This is habitual with many of us, but 1t is an injurious practice and one should take great | pains to overcome it.
 1 Bear in. mind these simple direc- l tions which will automatically force i you to breathe more often and more i deeply. They are some of the vital secrets of correct posture.
