We nest at every turn the girl woo run* oct her chin, who sway* her arms and who carries one shoulder higher than the other. The undulating movement which should be natural to women teems to have disappeared. Modj-.tka it one of the few women in New York who walk well. She hat the gait of a goddeti. To see her move is satisfying in one way and tantalizing in another you wonder so bow she does it. You have donoileat watched a panther pacing backward and forward in his cage.
