6 CHEMAWA AMERICAN. Personal Appearance and Success, Thousands of worthy young people have failed to obtain situations simply hecsuse they have not learned the art of carrying themselves properly, of appearing to ad vantage. A youth who drags his feet when he walks, who slouches, whose arms, lacking energy, dangle like Btrings from his BhouMers, does not make a favor able impression upon a proprietor or man ager, who looks a boy over from head to foot, notices his salt when approaching his desk, his carriage or manner, and by every little thing Is influenced in bis decision.
