LEARN TO WALK

or other seat too high to allow
the feet to touch the ground,
they naturally swing straight for
ward and back, pointing neither
in nor out.
or course, as with everything
else in life, the mental attitude
has much to do with graceful
walking and easy, firm handling
of ones feet.
The woman who is irresolute or
lacking in confidence in herself
will not walk we'll or gracefully.
Until that time, despite all the
exercises she may take, her feet
are likely to falter and tremble,
hesitate and drag.
She is thinking afraid thoughts"
and that fear expresses itself not
only in lurking look of uneasi-
ness in her eyes, and in down
pointed lips, but also in every
move OF nef DOQy.
Gain confidence in and respect
for yourself. Among the resulting
blessings will be a firm, we'll
poised walk.
Think clearly and positively,
Know just where you want to go
and you will walk with the clear
cut directness that counts so
much for grace straight to your
destination.
One reason that so many feet
of today are ugly is that they
are lazy-yes, positively lazy.
They ride instead of walking and
they grow feeble from disuse.
Feeble muscles are not trim and
graceful.
Every great dancer, including
the Incompatible Pavlova, will tell
you that walking is an exercise
par excellence for your feet. When
properly done, 1t exercises every
muscle of the feet and keeps cir
culation brisk and the feet and
angles strong and flexible.
This means, however, walking
in well-fitted, moderate or low
heeled shoes that are comfortable
on your feet and in stockings
neither too long nor too short.
In addition to a good, brisk
walk every day you may like to
try this exercise for foot strength
and grace.
Seat yourself comfortably and
stretch your feet as far ahead of
you, as you can, but keep them
entirely on the floor. Now lift
first the right, then the left, then
both feet just us high as you can,
keeping both heels on the floor.
This should give a pleasant little
stretch to all the muscles of your
feet. Return to position. Repeat
this exercise about fifteen times
not only early in the morning, hut
several times during the day. It
will do much for the strength and
flexible grace Of your feet.

tain love. This means that the
person you love is holding you in
ugly slavery-whether he knows
1T or not. And it is natural and
inevitable that you should hate
your jailer now and then.
Love is real, positive and
beautiful force. jealousy is just
it's opposite-based on assumptions
(mostly false), negative and ugly.
1t wears you out. 1t gives you
Authorizations. It means misery
and nothing else for it's victim.
And it always expresses itself in
terms of selfishness.
No one who really loves wants
to be selfish. No one who loves
would want to deny the beloved
his right to food and clothing
and roof to shelter him. No one
would say:
"You have my devotion. That's
enough. You don't need anything
to eat or warm coat in winter
or a place to live"
Manifestly that is absurd. It
may not be as manifest, but it's
just as absurd to deny your loved

roof-tree, and refuge when he
wants to be alone or in society
other than yours.

self and the person you love.
Either you have no confidence In
your power to hold the love you
have attracted or you have no
faith in the stability of your sweet
hearts feelings.
Suppose your beloved does PHI
lander a bit! What Of it? Would
you want to hear the greatest
genius in the world play the same
tune every day on his violin?
Wouldn't you like changes in his
program now and then? Wouldn't
you appreciate his fiddle more IL
you heard some piano music or a
bit of singing for a change?
All Of us need change in our
food. We like variety in our
amusements. And we need relaxa-
ton from work. So it is with love.
To turn from a great and deep
and wonderful love now and then
and to contemplate something
other than the glorious thing that
fills the heart doesn't mean a bit
of disloyalty to glorious devo-
ton. 1t means merely the human
desire for variety, for something
different.
When you're doing some close
work that puts lot of strain on
your eyes-such as fine sewing,
writing or any activity that makes
your eyes focus steadily on some.
thing near at hand, don't you look
up now and then and stare into
space?" Have you ever stopped
to wonder why you do this? 1t is
to change the focus Of your eyes
to rest them by taking the strain
off one set of eye muscles and CIV
ing another set a chance to work.
Your heart muscles are like
that, too. You can't live at a con-
slant tension of emotionalism.
You can't stay forever high
pitched. You've got to let down
now and then.
And when your beloved chances
at a pretty girl and calls her a
doll or pippin or whatever is
current for charming" don't
fancy that he is all set to be false
to you. He's just giving his heart
muscles a rest He is getting an
eyeful of something different. And
if you act like a loving sweet
heart, not ike a jealous vixen,
he'll never give the passing Venus
a second thought-at least not q
second serious thought.
All mischievous children love
to show off. And when you tell
your sweetheart that you think
he is a dangerous flirt, he swells
out his chest and does a little
exhibiting. When you rave about
how his disloyalty makes you suf-
fer, he is so busy thinking what
a predatory male he is, that he
doesn't notice your Suffering"
Jealousy is bind, stupid, self
centered, and the match to gun
powder. Real love is above it,
and the sort of love that cult
Yates it is nothing in all the world
but gluttinous, selfish passion SO
intent on it's own satisfaction that
it doesn't realize it is plotting
it's own destruction.

 PASSES AWAI FRIDAY

Virginia White, eldest daughter of MT. and Mrs. George .White, pass ed away Friday afternoon, Sept. 70. of tuberculosis. The child was not quite ten years old and death brought relief from unceasing pain. A year ago last spring the disease settled in one hip. Her case came to the notice of officials of the U. $. .ureau of Education just at the time the local Red Cross chapter employed Mrs. s. D. Grant as com munity nurse. From that time on the two agencies cooperated to care .or the little sufferer. The disease had made too great headway to re- spond to treatment and the most that could be done was in the way of nursing care to make the child as comfortable as possible.
 Interment was made Sunday af- ternoon in Redmen's cemetery from St. Philips church the Rev. H. P. Corser conducting the funeral ser vices. A choir composed of mem bers of the Guild and Sunday School contributed much to the service.
