- osrURE is the outward symbol of per-
l. sorality. 1t is the way you carry your
self that carries you. Throughout the
ages there has been many a famous
woman whose lovely carriage has made her
seem beautiful, even when she was not blessed
with fair face" Queen Elizabeth surely is
not among the beauties of history, yet her
calm, sure poise bespoke absolute queenliness.
Since posture depends on the structure of
the body, correct posture is always the same.
Deviations from it, influenced by modish
ideas of fashion-stylists, become caricatures
after time. The Crinoline BELLE the stif1y
oorseted Victorian lady, the Floradora girl,
and the victim of the unhallowed debutante-
slodch are now only quantity amusing memo
ries. Today, fortunately, correct posture is
decidedly in fashion.
When it comes to yourself, are you actually
aware of your posture? A good test is to stand
the way you do naturally - before full
length mirror - and see your silhouette. Now
if straight line can be drawn from the top of
your head to your hipbone, then to your
knee and down to the ankle bone, and if
your weight falls on the balls of your feet
and not on the heels, then your posture is
correct.
If you carry yourself correctly, you also
cannot help walking correctly; and walking
correctly makes your figure seem attractive
and we'll proportioned. A large woman, If she
carries herself properly seems much less all
over-the-p place" than smaller, thin person
who does not know the basic principles of
body balance.
The truth of this has been demonstrated
by the versatile English actress, Gertrude
Lawrence. Two seasons ago, in the series of
nine sketches with MIR. Noel Coward, it was
Miss Lawrence's posture in her various drama
tic interpretations that told the story far
better than the words she spoke. In one of
them Shadow Play" she had what critics
called devastating loveliness." But, in the
sketch "Fumed Oak" where she repre-
sented the slovenly wife, she came on the
stage scuf6ng her feet, with drooped shoulders
ank neck bent forward. In this scene Miss
Lawrence appeared to take on at least fifteen
pounds entirely without benefit of theat-
ricai stuffings.
Proper carriage is important not only to
you but also to the children about you. If
Father and Mother stand up straight" Jack
and Jill will come by it naturally.
Evening star., 1938-04-10

Here is test that is good for both the
children and yourself. And you can get the
children to make game of it, to see whether
Jack or Jill stands the straighter. Tell them
to stand with their little backs to the wall so
that every part touches - head, shoulders,
buttocks, calves and heels. The legs should be
straight, but not rigid, with the weight resting
on the balls of the feet; trunk erect from the
hips; spine Strengthened out so as to draw the
abdomen in; shoulders square, and falling
naturally to bring the chest out. Then have
them walk slowly away from the wall Here
the position of the feet is important. The toes
should be straight ahead - Indian fashion
and in fact bit pigeon-toed rather than
showing an inclination for toeing-out which
is awkward and unattractive.
How to get and keep perfect posture is
the question. First of all think straight and
tall! As you do this, you umconsciously breathe
deeply - and few deep heaths are worth
great deal in helping to relieve body tension.
Pull your stomach up out of your hips. One
well-known health authority tells you, when
you walk, to imagine that some one is about
to give you spank" In this way, you un-
consciously pull in the buttocks muscles.
Another good imaginative" exercise is to
stand on your toes and let the heels down
slowly until you imagine that there is room to
slip piece of tissue paper under them. This
prevents you from letting your weight be
thrown back on the heels. Try it and see for
yourself.
Regular exercise helps to timber the shoul-
ders and give them freedom. The following
exercise does the trick. Sit on the floor Cross
legged, hips well under you and your body
balanced directly over the bones on which
you are sitting. Put your hands, palms up
ward, we'll forward on your lap. Then bend
forward from your hip joints until your head
almost touches the floor. Take deep breath
and count six, while rising to an upright posi-
ton. Then repeat.
When it comes to actual rules for practicing
good posture, the familiar old one, tried and
true" of placing book on the head and try
ing to balance it as you walk, is one of the
best. After all, the Balinese women, the people
of Ceylon and the West Indian Negro girls for
centuries have balanced their baskets on their
head - and have always walked through life
with the easy swinging grace the most
fastidious matron today might well envy and
try to initiate.

Teuton offensive overwhelmed the de-
tense.
An investigation before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee showed
that the. Committee on Public Infor-
nation had announced that hundreds
of airplanes had been shipped over
seas to the AEF at time when actu-
ally only one plane had been sent.
American aviation manufacturers
had failed to provide American avia-
tors with new equipment, and AEF'
airmen were dependent upon French
and British planes.

ONCE UPON MARCH 26th
"William Caxton issued the first
printed book with numbered leaves
March 26, 1884"
Thus does one standard reference
book dismiss one of the most slgnltl
cant events in history. For the BOOK
was the first English version OF
Aesop's Fables, perhaps the most
popular children's book ever issued.
Moreover, as the first book printed N
English of popular appeal to all class
es, it did much to create a mass de-
nland for books. I'M
Caxton, then g. himself made the
initial adoption into English of the
2,OOO-year-old Greek folk legends, and
he was more the author of the Fables
than the legendary character known
as Aesop. For you're wrong if you
believe a slave named Aesop wrote
Aesop's Fables.
Only one copy of this original edi-
ton of the Fables is known to exist.
A second copy would bring the finder
at least 100000.
