"A busy week , " sighs the duenna , sliaklnp lior hondln gloomy foreboding nt the prospeci of a hnrd worked season. "A jolly week with Just ouough going on t ( make lifu worth living and not enough't 'make death scorn u welcome relief , " says thi ficcoud season girl with n blissful sigh of an , . tlclpatlou nnd remembrance. " ' ! A profitable week , " says the charltnbl woman , who has been working llko the pro vorbtal nnilora to make the Catholic ibaznu and hospital sale at Mrs. Lako's n success They succeeded unel no wonder. Grace is moraa boon than beauty of fea turo. The girl of the time has got an llikllni of this significant truth and is Industriousl ; nnd Intelligently making personal tests of U These of them who are really entitled to b called wise mnko thcso tests in thu open air In other words , they take Judicious outdoo exorcise. The precise form of It does no make so much difference , so long us It Is kep within rational limits and practiced system atlcally , and , above all , wlthundcvlutlng ivp ularlty. To ho willowy , sinuous , serpcn tin that is the Idea of superlative grace and t attain it Inwalk the bend must bo kept Urn the movement must come from the hips. I this way thcro will bo no tossing or sbauln of the skirts , nnd the swaying , undulatin motion at thowaistwillcniphnsl/othocovete acrpcuthio effect. For the most effective cu tlvation of this undoubted charm walking I fncllo prlnceps , as It brings the muscles i fairly uniform action. The undulations mad bv the head , chest aud torso la n vortici piano are not only productive of Hogarth' ' line of beauty , out loud to perfect physic ; health.

It is nc grace fuiio walk on the heels , to tnuo Ion strides , or to rulso the foot from the groun moro than two inches , : It is not graceful i stump or to lay ttio foot clown with u doilai or resounding nolso ; It is not prncoful i square thu shoulders , soldier fashlou , or' set thu elbows nicimbo , ns la driving ; it Is iv graceful to hurry , hustle or fins , lor speed not conducive to grace or motion , snvo nmoi : thoroughbreds. Another fee of grace Is sol consciousness.
