GRACEFUL RIDING. 61 



female beauty, ^chile at rest ! — but once in motion ^ 

 the illusion is dispelled from a bad carriar/e and 

 shuffling gait, the perfect form becomes quite 

 common-place. These two destructives to beauty 

 can be entirely eradicated by attention to the follow- 

 ing directions, and which apply equally to 



WALKING AND RIDING. 



Keep the bust and head erect ; the shoulders tcell 

 thrown hack. The motive power to proceed from the 

 hips alone. 



Perseverance in these few directions will soon 

 give all that is required for a graceful and healthy 

 carriage. 



Finally. — At all times trust to your reins for 

 security, in cases of danger. Never grasp the 

 pummel of the saddle. Never use a " Habit 

 Brooch.''
