Occasionally a protesting voice would bo raised to the eSeet that tho English maid developed into an English matron who was inclined toward a certain bcefi- ness of countenance which was not in ac- the day and took care of the children. The remainder of the time, some 6ix or eight hours, she devoted to reading. •She was fat, poor in complexion and round shouldered. She walked horribly, and she had indigestion. "The average home girl has to overcome a liking for sweets and a tendency to indi- gestion. She has a poor figure, is inclined to stoop and has a distaste for fresh air and walking. She also has a set of brittle teeth. very dull hair and heavy looking eyes. "In addition, the home girl has^to over- come a tendency to sleep too much. You see, she has many things to contend with, this home girl. •Well, her first duty must be to learn to walk well. To do this she must learn to wear the right kind of shoes. - "It is not flat shoes you want, nor high- heeled shoes, nor shoes with curved insteps, nor any other one kind of shoes. But you want shoes that fit your feet. Experiment until you "find a shoe that reaches every part of your feet without pressing upon any particular joint or sensitive place. Tnen, when you have found this kind of a shoe, wear it. "Wear different shoes on different days. A woman who walks a great deal and is alwavs comfortable has her Monday shoes and her Tuesday shoes and her shoes for other days. She never has tired feet and never a corn. She wears different shoes on different days, with the result that the pressure comes always upon a different part of the foot. "The home girl need not go out to walk. She can take her walking exercise right in the house. "To walk properly put on a loose suit. Let out all your bands before you begin to walk. Loosen your collar. Loosen the top.? of your shoes if they are tight. - - "Now the next thing is the right position. To walk properly and well, you must hold your head erect. To be sure you are hold- ing your head as you should hold it. lift a light chair and carry it on top of your head. This will insure a correct carriage of the head and will develop the muscles of the neck and arms. "Breathe deeply as you walk. Start off with a firm, erect carriage. Stride along. Move gracefully, if you can. And remem- ber that if you walk as you should walk, grace will suraly come to you. Walk about a room like this daily and you will soon see the good result. "The home girl is looking for economical exercises. I know one girl who developed j her chest by doing stunts with the piano stool. She played leap frog over it, she jumped over it, putting one foot on it, going over it as though she were jumping a h<*dee. "Then this girl practised a diving move- ment. Standing erece in the seat o f a chair, she would put the palms of her hands together and pretend to dive forward. She would lift her hands yr&ry high, touch the tips of the fiagers together, dive forward, and just save herself from falling. "Home girls and home .women who are too fat must ao these things. "Breathe deeply three times a day, fifty breaths each time.

    Well, her first duty must be to learn to walk well. To do this she must learn t o wear the right kind of shoes. - "It is not flat shoes you want, nor high-

    heeled shoes, nor shoes with curved insteps, nor any other one kind of shoes. But you want shoes that fit your feet. Experiment until you "find a shoe that reaches every part of your feet without pressing upon any particular joint or sensitive place. Tnen, when you have found this kind of a shoe, wear it.

    "Wear different shoes on different days. A woman who walks a great deal and i s alwavs comfortable has her Monday shoes and her Tuesday shoes and her shoes for other days. She never has tired feet and never a corn. She wears different shoes on different days, with the result that the pressure comes always upon a different part of the foot.

    "The home girl need not go out t o walk. She can take her walking exercise right in the house.

    "To walk properly put on a loose suit. Let out all your bands before you begin to walk. Loosen your collar. Loosen the top.? of your shoes if they are tight. - - "Now the next thing is the right position. To walk properly and well, you must hold your head erect. To be sure you are hold-ing your head a s you should hold i t . lift a light chair and carry it on top of your head. This will insure a correct carriage of the head and will develop the muscles of the neck and arms.

    "Breathe deeply as you walk. Start off with a firm, erect carriage. Stride along. Move gracefully, if you can. And remem-ber that if you walk a s you should walk, grace will suraly come t o you. Walk about a room like this daily and you will soon see the good result.

    "The home girl i s looking for economical exercises. I know one girl who developed j her chest by doing stunts with the piano stool.
