Gently about tall girls who

ONE the suggestion for adapting
An old stage trick % personal life.
In the theatre all actresses and
actors can walk tall or walk short
as the case may call for. thus
creating an Illusion OF height or
shortness that roves extremely
valuable.
The tall girl who wishes to appear
shorter will walk with much shorter
steps than she ordinarily uses and
she will keep her head bent slightly
forward as though she has Just
nodded TO an acquaintance.
The short girl who wishes 10 ap-
pear taller will keep her chin up as
though she has just snubbed her
bitterest enemy and she will assume
a much longer stride than her
natural gait.
Now to change ones characteristic
walk needs practice OF course and
so. before trying out your new gait
in public you'll need to practice at
home until the new carriage comes
naturally.
II you have a ~ruil-iengrh mirror

details OF posture that make II pos
sible for you TO slip easily and grace
fully into your new role.
Another thing that the tall girl
can do Is learn TO hold her hands so
that they cut across her figure in
stead OF hanging M her sides. Purses
that cit over the hand can be carried
so that they rest At the hipline in
stead OF lower or the body and this
angle cutting Gro the center OF
the figure appears TO cut II down
