admiration for moral beauty. The entire circle O expresses glorification. These gestures can be made with the whole arm, with the forearm only, or simply with the waving hand; the degree of expression varies accordingly. Lastly, I will speak about the law of opposition. The arm and the head should move in inverse directions [_illustrating_]; also the arm and the hand. The statue of the Gladiator is a beautiful example of this law of opposition. He is what we French call "well based;" you cannot overthrow him. In contrast to him, my father used to cite Punchinello, the children's toy, an object of ridicule. Punchinello, when the string is pulled, raises his right arm and his right leg at the same time. Notice the different ways in which people scold. The schoolmaster moves his head from above downward; the boy threatens back, tossing his head upward. And now, ladies, I hope that what I have said will move you to take a deeper interest in my father's work, and enable you to understand his methods better than heretofore. I shall then feel, when I return to my country, that I have not crossed the Atlantic in vain. The Course of Lessons Given in America By Mme. Geraldy Mme. Geraldy prefaced her course of lessons with the following remarks: God is Trinity. Man, created in the image of God, bears the seal of the Trinity. In these lessons we shall analyze our whole person. We shall dwell upon three terms: Concentric, normal, excentric. We find them everywhere. 1, excentric; 2, concentric; 3, normal.
