THE SECRET OF STYLE.

"<lroo& carnage" says a loading authority in'addressing a London audience lately, "is the whole secret of style. Learn how to hold your body and how to walk, and you can snap your fingers at tho changes decreed by those who make tho fashions. Give tho woman with a bad carriage tho latest creation from the Rue do la Pais, and she will yet look a frump, while tho woman who moves with head orect, straight and 'easy, will look smart in a cheap cotton gown. There aro many even bettor reasons for a woman holding herself well. : A nerve specialist ■ maintains that the matter of carriage is essentially important. Tho irritable, nervous subject, who resolutely determines to walk well, very soon reaps the benefit; With the expanded chest comes proper breathing and a gradual bettering of many physical ills .incidental to walking 'anyhow.' ■ The oldfashioned plan of walking for fifteen minutes a day with a small-book set somewhat forward in the hand, puts the whole body into the best possible position, and if this position is maintained one will not only look and feel smart, but will develop' a carriage as health-giving as it. is becoming."
