'G1AS winged VlCIOIy,
Wings are significant of beau
tiful walking, for a woman who
walks we'll seems hardly to
touch the ground. She might
indeed be upheld in her grace
ful movements by unseen wings.
I have seen a famous actress
with a free, rhythmic, beautiful
walk-yes, and also a few ath-
letic young flappers. But the
average woman is inclined to
shuttle, slump, waddle, Triggle
her hips, throw her shoulders
forward, poke her head down
ward - indulge in countless
faults of poSture-because she
does not know how to swing
along with an untrammcled.
free, graceful walk. Young
women are almost as great Of
tenders in this respect as older
ones. I have seen young girls
walk like old women and
women well on in years who
walked with so much grace
and vigor that the bogey of
age could not touch them.
Bad posture and a clumsy
walk have always been ugly, but
they are inexcusable in these
days, when there is talk of
health and grace and beauty
in the very air and women
have rid themselves of tight,
restricting garments that
Shackle free movement Of the
body.
To walk correctly, hold your
spine and neck erect, your head
regally; draw in your abdomen
and let your arms swing along
comfortably but not in ex-
treme fashion. If you slump
your shoulders and let your
chest cave in ill-health Of body
and spirit will be suggested.
Moreover, you will cramp your
lungs and become a shallow
breather and also throw your
body out Of alignment.
Habitual incorrect posture
causes double chins. fiddle-string
necks and prominent collar
bones. Nearly every woman
walks with most of her weight
thrown on her heels instead of
the ball of her feet. When you
walk, try to feel as though
strong, invisible wings were
lifting you upward and for
ward.
An excellent way to learn to
walk well is to practice five
minutes each morning; walking
along q straight line or narrow
board on the floor of your
room, with a book balanced on
your head. Keep your feet
pointed straight forward and
your weight over the balls Of
your feet, not your heels.
Wear moderate or low-heeicd

designed for walking when you
take your daily constitutional.

to see you on some certain
evening you designate, because
you have a message for him.
When he comes tell him how
sorry you are you broke your
promise to him and you hope
the friendship can go on.
But If you had not made any
promise. you were not in the
wrong and he is merely vic

that case ignore any GOODNESS
on his part and be very sweet
and charming when you do

same way you won his interest

uATS-especially feminine
"A hats-are not merely some
thing to cover the head. Hats
in the final analysis are an
essential factor in the scene
which surrounds us on every
hand. It is the fact, there
fore, that whatever happens
to these hats, whether for
good or i'll is of vast Importance
to those who wear the hats as
well as to those who look ut
them.

And then it is up to women
themselves and some Of them,
glory be, deserve the whole
hearted gratitude of all with
whom they come in contact for
the caution and restraint and
fine sense of values with which
they fit out their heads year
after year.
Others, however-well, it's
too bad. You may say, in de-
Tense of them, that they are
not that conscious; that 1t Is
an impoSsibility for them to
sense the fine distinction be-
tween themselves-what they
look like-and the wax model;
that they just haven't the.
Savvy to understand that what
is a perfect Knockout on the
wax model is bound to be q
perfect flop on themselves.
Granted that this is true
why it is?
Women who buy hats season
after season, year after year
ought eventually to acquire an
inkling as to the color, lines,
fabric and size which become
their faces and figures.
A woman. for example, whose
face is large and red and who
is prejudiced against using pow

colored turban will make her

Why don't women study
their faces, before they go to
buy hats? Women, that Is,
who buy the wrong hats?
Perhaps it's because all
women believe they buy the
right hats, there being certain
unreachable points of feminine
logic.
There are two sides to the
story of the hats that use re-
versible -clt. A hat of bright
red felt has incrustations of the
dull side of the felt on the shiny
finish which makes the crown

THE BEAUTY

A jumping rope will afford

strenuous exercise, increasing
the heart action, and not safe
for women of middle age unless
they have been accustomed to
vigorous calisthenics,. The action
of the arms when jumping will
tone down thick shoulders.
1t is doubtful if superfluous
hair is ever caused by the appll-
cation of oily cosmetics. There
is a theory that it is produced
by over stimulation Of the
pituitary glands, tiny sacs that
are placed in the center Of the
skull, back of the eyes. Eric
ton with a pumice stone will
remove a growth of fuZzers for
the time being, but the effect
is the same as shaving, which
may produce a heavier fringe.

root rests; then Mister Fuzzer

he determined to write a pre-

cause Of constipation and correct
it quickly and safely.
How successful his efforts were
