WALK OF GIRLS.
Why do not girls walk better thaft they do? They have, left off all tke old vices of sto.opingroyer embroidery, siaying in-ddors. when it is bad weather, and excessive sewing. They play outdoor games - and inhald at least 100 per cent more fresh /air than did their mothers and grandmothers when they were girls. So why do they not walk better? Is it for lack of drill? Or do you set it down to the old account— viz., generations of tight-laced, tight-shoed feminine progenitors? It is quite rare to see a girl &ith chest well forward, shoulders llat, head erect, but chitf well in, walking with a light, free step from the hip. Most of those we see-either tramp along or shuffle.— Madge, in Truth.
