THE CARRIAGE OF WOMEN

Good Advice Given the Fair Sex by an Exchange. I The women who carries herself well is more apt to command respect than the woman who trudges- along with , her head inclined forward and her j shoulders in a stooping position. The I possessor of a graceful, erect carriage j unconsciously impresses us as having } characteristic worth. J There are many noble hearted women who really do themselves injustice by the awkward way they carry themselves. It Is very hard for others to see beauty and grace of heart in an unlovely outward appearance. It is the exterior of the rose that gives fitting expression to its hidden sweetness. Although there are many beautiful women with worthless hearts, still that fact does not weaken the other fact that spiritual nobleness and a fair body are a consistent, harmonious association. Everything that appertains to the elevation of the soul affects for the better the aspect of the body, beautifying and refining it. Just as rare jewels need fitting caskets to rest in, so it is only meet that lovely souls should be inclosed in bodies that are beautiful and fair.—Pittsburg Observer.
