How to Walk
Gracefully
By DONNA GRACE

We frequently hear 1t said that
a tired feeling is good for US. They
speak of "a good healthy tired"
Fatigue after a days activity is
certainly not harmful when one
is in normal good health. Activity
that taxes the muscles keeps them
supple and strong and is the best
means of retaining youth, grace
and feminine charm.
Active, wide-awake, alert indi-
viduals are usually good-looking,
but we may attain the easy grace
and attractive figure only through
regular practice Of selected move
mentS.
When one stops to think Of the
outstanding difference between
young and middle-aged persons,
we believe it is the lack Of poise as
well as the improper distribution
of weight.
The groteSQue waddle-walk Is
the result of inactivity, and is
really a lazy habit, but once these
habits are formed, we go rolling
along in this absurd manner that
is so sure to class us as awkwerd
and middle-aged.
Whether you are fat and short,
tall and angular, you can easily
train yourself to walk with a
smooth gliding step that is at once
distinctive and youthful. A grace
full carriage will always give one
that air of Importance we expect
to associate with smart, graceful
women, and here is the way to at
tain that kind of a stride:
First, stand erect with an up
ward stretch on all muscles. Drop
the shoulders. Do not sway back
ward, but keep the shoulders in
line with the hips, neck and head
high, chest round and abdomen in,
and knees straight, but not stiff.
Ignore the knees and step for.
ward on the right foot with a
smooth, long swing from the hips;
hold it and note that your toes
point forward and only very slight
ly outward. Next, step forward
on the left foot-not sideways, but
in a straight line forward and with
the same length of step as the
right foot.
Now here is your guide. You
are walking on two parallel lines,
and the distance apart is deter
mined by the position Of the points
of the toes when the heels are to-
gether and the knees are touching.
The knees must be close, but there
must be room for them to pass
freely without interfering in the
stride.
It will be hard to keep your
balance at first, if you have been
waddle-walker, but keep at it
even if you must hold on to the
wall or furniture.
You may have the complete set
and illustrations without charge,
if you will inclOSe q stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply

Here can be seen the newest
wall and floor coverings, unusual
window treatments, new furniture
groupings, and a perfect balance
Of modern and period styles. The
breakfast room, and dining room
are uncompromisingly modern.
The living room and library are
as frankly Eighteenth Century
English. The masters bedroom is
Louis XIV French, the guest room
early American, and the foyer
modern regency.
Interiors feature subtle rather
than striking colors. The living
room walls are terra Gotta in a
warm shade that is kindly in any
light. In the library, frankly dedi-
Gated to the man of the house,
the walls are of polished cork
stained deep, walnut brown. Ice
blue brocaded paper covers the
walls of the masters bedroom,
while those of the guest room are
the color of sunshine. The foyer
walls are a grayed chartreuse and
in the dining room they are pink
iSh gray, an admirable foil for the
light chairs, upholstered in empire
green. The bar CLEANS in silvered
rice paper.
New Blonde Woods
The Brides House features the
use Of the blonde woods, both for
woodwork and furniture. In the
living room, the woodwork is a
mellow antique pine and so is the
fine, authentic carved Georgian
mantel. The library launches a
brand new idea-Chinese bamboo
to outline the moldin.s and cor
nices. All the guest room furniture
is maple. In the dining room the
chairs, all armchairs, the consoles
and the spacious dining tables are
of holly wood which is the color
of honey. The house further &C.
cents 'lightnesS and brightness by
the discreet use of mirrors, and by
much white in leather, upholstery
and lamps and shades.
Curtains provide m any new
ideas. Those in the lib airy are of
beige colored antique satin, lined
with thick brown upholstery fab
ric such as is used on the chairs.
In the living room they are Of
white crinkled satin edged with
navy blue and whit braid. The
guest bedroom curtains, edged
with rufleS and old-f~Shioned ba-
tiste matching the ruf1ed batiSte
bedSpread will surely be copied in
many homes. Not so easy to du-
plicate, but magnificent indeed
are those in the masters bedroom
of silver gray satin hung on crys-
tai rods, with tiebackS Of crystal.
Plain Carpets Best
Plain carpets, in different
colors are used throughout the
house except in the foyer which
has a patterned linoleum in
gray, black and white.
The Brides House has a
brides dressing room which ad-
joins the gray and ivory bath
room, and a linen closet in
green and white that is the last
word in completeness. Also a
bar, a solarium and terrace,
gay with white wrought iron
furniture upholstered blue. A
kitchen in deep blue and shin
ing metal is the last word in
completeness and is completely
electrical.
Even the brides gardening
interests have not been over
looked since there is a greenhouse
equipped with boxes where plants

The Washington times., 1936-04-06

Lnem TO i've napplAy ever d1Gt
In that they're wrong. There's
no magic abacadabra in saying the
"I wills" before a clergyman-not
even if you have eight bridesmaids
and the handsomest set of usherS
in town helping to make a lovely
picture before the altar.
You've got to make up your
mind, once you've shaken the rice
out of your pockets and collars,
that marriage is a profession-a
job, if you like that term better
the same as any other contract
which involves human beings.
Old Habits
And though you see on every
side wrecks of other peoples loves,
fancies, plans and hopes, you start
out still believing that your own
marriage will be perfect. You shut
your eyes to that alarming divorce
ratio: one marriage in every six
goes on the rocks in this country.
You decide to make your own
marriage just as you wanted it.,
without the things that were so
annoying in your old home or in
your bachelor or spinSter apart
ment. And it may be So-for the
first rapturouS weeks.
After that blissful period, old
habits will reaSsert themselves.
The old untidiness will come back.
Habits of not being ready on time,
of giving way to Sulkiness, of
dumping the contents of a can
into a frying pan and calling it
dinner. It's so easy to drop back!
Making concessions" is still as
good a recipe as any for a happy
marriage. Don't begin by setting
a trap and watching your mate
fall into it. Traps, even if they
catch the victim, are poor matri-
monial triumphS in the long run.
Better try the Boy or Girl Scout
guiding principle of doing "a good
deed" daily. Even if you've had
a bad day, with everything going
wrong-and such days come to
every one of uS-don't tell your
husband about it when he comes
home after struggling for the ever
elusive dollar.
And if your wife is looking par.
ticularly pretty, don't neglect to
tell her so. Or if she looks tired,
suggest some amusement-a good
movie, for inStance-even if you've
been thinking on the way home
of relaxing in an easy chair with
your favorite newspaper and pipe.
Easy to Cook
Such little attentions mean
everything to women and make
them contented.
And, ladies, do learn to turn
out appetizing meals and put
them on an attractive looking
table! A meal is digested with
the eyes as well as the stomach.
And a table on which dishes have
been thrown haphazard will not
appeal very long to even the
best Of husbands.
It's my contention that every
woman can learn to cook well,
even if she has spent her time
between school and marriage in a
business office, shop or factory.
To me, it's just as easy to cook
well as badly, and lots more fun!
This doesn't mean elaborate
cooking it means appetizing
cooking. And if you will send
me stamped, self-addressed en-
velope (3-cent stamp, please) I'll
be glad to recommend certain
