His air was that of a busy man dis pleased by waste of valuable time Edith felt the ground give beneath her feet She knew absolutely and certainly, with a woman's conviction by intuition, which is a hundred times more strong and deep than a man’s conviction by logic, i that this doctor who stood before her, | looking at her suavely, if a little pity i ingly. and the young, smooth faced cleric who had united her In that blasphemous i mock marriage to the dead Levasseur, were one and the same She cast dis cretion to the wind, and in manner and iook now there was that which would have given credence to the supposition that her mind was unhinged Putting Her Off.

N'o girl ever feels that she is well dressed until she is "' ll shod. If your hat is left over from last year, or your gow n is not in style, you can make up for these shortcomings by your animated face and smile, but it takes an absolute genius to distract peoples attention from ilown-trodden siloes, or badly blacked pumps, and a hole in one'.- stocking would upset even jp I <r, I kSBk laHa f IMP \ • v j— J "■ 1 i r; F r—- il— MESS ELISE HAMILTON. H>r Zfcfffeld’s "Winsome Widow” (’o.) the president of the United Women's Clubs of th® world. Besides the looks of one's feet, there is the one more important question of the feeling of them. People who can be amiable when their feet are tired and uncomfortable deserve haloA Probably If we knew it, most of the bad temper that shows it self. especially in crowds at the ferries and stations and at theaters, is due to people having to hurry along on aching feet. If you want to pieserve your beauty, your looks and your disposition, keep your teet comfortable. White Stockings. Tile white stocking craze has done a lot to ease aching feet, and there's nothing so comfortable as a nice, clean pair of white stockings and a fresh pair of shoes and slippers. Stockings ought really to be changed twice a day. and the girl who hates to darn will find that this saves her a great deal of work. Changing stockings, like changing your shoes, brings the wear and the rub on another part of the foot, and conse quently saves lite stockings My hobby Is shoes and stockings, and as long as my feet look all tight 1 fee! that I can face the world with calm ness. If you want to know how sensitive people are about the way tbit ate shod, sit In a street car and gaze fixedly at the feet of tlte woman opposite you. She will get so uncomfortable that ten to one you can make het get up and leave the car. because she is quite sure she has a hole In her stocking or some thing is the matter with her shoes. The same applies to men. though, on the whole, men are more particular about their shoes than women ate. and you seldom see a man in very moderate cir cumstances whose shoes aren't nicely polished, w hile lots of w omen overlook this part of their toilette. If you are a dancer or have to stand on your feet for a long time evert day. you must realize how important it is to keep them In good condition. They ought to be bathed every day. and if you come home tiled and want to fresh en up quickly a foot bath in warm water with a handful of salt in it will do you more good than a nap. Many I people's feet hurt them because they are never properly dried. If the stock ing is put on while the foot is still damp, it is likely to make the feet very tender, and unless one takes the trouble to dry the toes separately, the best thing to do is to dust the foot with foot powder or talcum pow der. A Popular Complaint. Many of the girls In companies In I which I have played have complained so of fatigue from standing and walk ing. especially during rehearsals, and very often this was entirely due to flat tening of the arch of the foot. If you | have pains in the calf of the leg or get very tired from standing and feel as if your feet were made of lead, you are probably flattening the arch, and if you can not get shoes made so that they will hold the arch up. wear the sides which come on the inside of the shoes I ami which are made to correct this I trouble When your feet are very tired and the skin aches, as it often seems to. rub the soles of your feet with vinegar or w ith lemon juice after bathing.

This beauty doctor said that more wrinkles come from foot troubles than from financial worries, and I guess she must be right, for if you ever had seen the pained looking faces of the girls with the aching feet you could be sure they are making real wrinkles in their faces, lines that won't come out on salary day. Lots of girls get stockings that are too short or too narrow, on the pleas ing theory that they make their feet smaller, but they only curl the toes over, cramp the joints and push the toes together. If you get a foot in cased in a small stocking and then put it in a shoe one size too narrow or too short, you have a fine idea of what slow torture is. My shoemaker tells me that women's ankles are growing big ger because they are wearing pumps. Pumps throw the foot qut of gear somehow and the weight is badly bal anced ami the ankle bone enlarges. If you like a high heel (I'm one of the people who do), be sure and get your shoes wide* enough at the toes. Os course, no shoe should he more than an inch and a half in the heel, but a great many people don't find sensible flat shoes at all comfortable. A Great Trouble.

He was a grand looking fellow. George, the kind of a looking fellow that you used to be, I guess, before you got fat." "I don’t want any of that kind of a game.” said the Head Barber. "1 got troubles enough on earth tvithouf going up into the sky to look for troubles. It's hard enough to live on the earth and keep from going in the air.” "I guess you are right about that part of it." agreed the Manicure Lady .

I want to keep my little feet on terracotta." “On terra WHAT?" asked the Head Do You Know— Maiwatehin, on the borders of Rus sia in Asia, is the only city in the world peopled by men only. Chinese women are not only forbidden to live in this territory, but even to pass the great wall of Kalkan and enter into Mon golia. All the Chinese of this order are exclusively traders. In south Russia there is a coin in use worth one four-thousandth part of a penny, and the Malays circulate a wafer one ten-thousandth part of a penny.

George, that a well-educated girl can make such a mistake in the renunciation of a word? If you had come to me yes terday and told me that I could have did such a thing as to renounce a word wrong. I yvould have gave you the scornful sneer.” "I don't know what you mean when you say ‘renounced’ instead of 'pro nounce.' " corrected the Head Barber. “What are you trying to do—kid me?" “Never, never!” exclaimed the Mani cure Lady. "I may have a lot of faults. George, the same as a lot of people have, but I think I am too good a lover of fair play to kid a poor dunce. I'd rather try my fine work on some men that come in here to have their nails did—men that know more in a minute than you will ever know. George. "But as I was saying about this youn air man that was in here this morning. I always feel sorry when I think of one.
