Of a Lady

By IDA JEAN KAN

IT USED TO be that no lady
ever crossed her legs, so robody
bothered about the right and
wrong way of doing il. But
crossing the legs is comfor-
table way to sit, and there's a
way 10 do it gracefully.
Cross the legs above the knee.
not right at the knee, and have
the toes pointed in the same di-
rection, not east and west. When
you cross the ankles, cross them
low and keep the toes pointed
the same way.
II you do not cross the legs,
knees together is the rule when
seated. Never sit with knees
apart. or with knees together
and feet apart, or with legs en-
twined about the chair leg.
Tall Girls
If you are a tall, girl, in sit
ting on a low divan or chair,
let the legs trail to one side,
keeping the knees together. An
other trick IS to choose a chair
with a high back
Short girls should try to
choose a chair that does not
have too deep a seat.
The correct and most graceful
sitting posture is TO sit with the
back of the hips pressed against
the back of the chair. And SIT
up, not down! Keep the figure
pulled slim through the middle,
don't settle. Let the shoulders
be relaxed. The old rule Of
throwing the shoulders back and
the chest out leads 10 tension.
The shoulders should be easy.
