THE PERFECT WALK.
Xlie perfect walk must be straight. Each stop must measure the length of llit I'uot apart. l)o not take short, choppy steps, ltemeiuber that a short, indolent gait is not exercise; in t"net, you are repeating little more than a minor action that takes place from the knee down. No exercise is more health-producing than a long walk, governed by certain rules that must necessarily be observed. With the step draw iu a deep breath, slowly exhaling. The value ot walking as an exercise and tor graceful carnage depends entirely upon assuming tne correct position and in taking deep, chest-expanding breaths. First of all sec to il that your shoulders drop straight back. Lift your feel neatly. Some women shuffle'along, and never seem to lift their feet at all. Walking which goes with household work, that done during the hours when in Hie shop or ollice, when the brain is occupied, is not true walking. About the same may lie said of the feel as heavy as lead and the mind is concerned with every care and woe of the passing moment. Kegulate the length of your step by your height
