To be thoroughly graceful long steps and quick short steps should be equal* ly avoided, remarks a French woman. A stiff walk is also very ungraceful, and that is the great fault of English girls. The walk too stiffly and take too long strides. Spanish women have a very pretty walk, naturally, as also have Italian country girls and ail accustomed to carrying weights on their heads.

Luck In planting is the result of good common sense and judgment. In budding, the scions should always be of the current season’s growth.
