When you 60 upstairs do not lear
forward or throw your weight ahead
of you. Keep your back naturally
erect and let your legs do the work
Do not aid your ascent by pulling
on the banister. Always touch the
next step with your toe. Again
movement should be continuous.
Actresses are taught these things
because they must be graceful
They must also be sure of their
motions and balance. 1t spoils a
take" if they slip off a step.
When we stop to think how most
of us dash up and down stairs in
a harum- -scarum manner, and then
realize what q little practice would
do for us, these suggestions become
very interesting. Given enough
practice, you will find that you can
go safely up or down stairs without
looking down at the steps.

Why Grow Old?
Rr Josebhine LoWman

Have you ever noticed how few
women 60 up or come down steps
gracefully Robert Buddy Eson,
assistant dance director at Warner
Brothers recently gave me some
interesting suggestions. 1 will pass
them on to you today.
In the first place, if you wish to
make a graceful descent, always
pause at the top of the stairway
Then reach for the first step with
extended leg and pointed toe. The
toe should be turned out slightly
for better balance. This is why the
toe Is turned out in ballet. Feel the
next step with your toe before put
ting your foot down firmly. Once
you start down, your descent should
be q continuous smooth movement
Also, your toe should extend slightly
over the edge of the step. In this
way. you know where you are with
