INDICATIONS OF FOOTSTEPS
Tip-too walking indicates surprise, curiosity, discretion or mystery. Tho misers’ walk is indicated in short, nervous steps, noiseless and anxious, and with stooped shoulders. Energy or agitation aro indicated in tho quick step. Preoccupied or absent-minded people will bo found with toes burned in.
Tho proud step is slow and measured, tho toes coasptcucrJsly turned out and legs straightened. Uncertainty, hesitation and indecision aro indicated by tho wavering stops which follow every changing impulse of tho mind.
Slow scops, whether long or short, suggest a gentle, or reflective state of mind. Obstinate people who in argument roly more on muscular power than on intellectual! power, rest tho feet flatly and firmly on the ground, walking heavily and slowly, and stand with legs firmly planted far apart.
