Hard to Do.

To stand perfectly motionless, and entirely at ease, is difficult of accomplishment. In society you will find gentlemen standing on one leg, or with legs crossed, or feet wide apart, or attempting to stand easily with feet close together and toes out. I say you will notice gentlemen doing this because an inexperienced person cannot tell when ladies stand that way. But they are just as bad ns the men, and if you study the effect of these 1 ostures you will be able to tell the women as well as the men. The correct attitude is with one foot slightly advanced and the other about a foot back of it, with the toes nearly at r ght angles. This gives one latitude to rest the weight of the body On either or both feet, and gives one’s suppleness some expression.
