Syn : {
Elegance }, {
Grace }.
Elegance implies something of a select style of beauty ,
which is usually produced by art ,
skill ,
or training ;
as ,
elegance of manners ,
composition ,
handwriting ,
etc .;
elegant furniture ;
an elegant house ,
etc .
Grace ,
as the word is here used ,
refers to bodily movements ,
and is a lower order of beauty .
It may be a natural gift ;
thus ,
the manners of a peasant girl may be graceful ,
but can hardly be called elegant .
