Edmond Levasseur, to play a cruel trick or a girl? No; I realize that to you then it did not seem what It must appear now. Then, no doubt, it only ap peared In the light of a hugs joke. Only It wasn’t a Joke —not for me. I was that girl, and the consequences have nevsr ceased to work; they are working now.” A Flat Denial.

His air was that of a busy man dis pleased by waste of valuable time. Edith felt she 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, that this doctor who stood before her, looking at her suavely, if a little pity ingly. and the xoung. smooth faced cleric who had united her in that blasphemous mock marriage to the dead Levasseur, were on< and /he same. She cast dis cretion to the wind, and in manner and look r.»vx there was that which would have given credence to the supposition that her mind was unhinged. Putting Her Off. "Can you swear by everything sacred,” she cried, "that you are not the man who morning of June is. eight years Oh, morning of June IM. eight years ago* oh, it was a cruel and despicable thing for a man to concoct, but it is over and done and can not be helped.

AH I want from you is a private admission to my husband that you did this thing ’’ ”A most modest request,” said Merton, ironic ally. All al once, as she looked at him, realized that she might with as much hope have expected to touch a chord of sympathy in the. stone statue of the man in the central gardena of the square out side Yet she persisted. "If you can not deny it. it must be true Besides, I know- it is true.” ‘I have denied it. not once, but many times, Mrs. Barrington,” he said, sharp ly. "And now—l must really ask you to have the kindness to bring this inter view to a close.” He moved toward the bell, and Edith followed him swiftly. "Doctor, no one need ever know." she said, desperately. “It would be a matter between my husband and yourself All I want Is your word that what I believed to be a marriage did take place All I want you to do is to prove to my husband that I am not the wanton he thinks me.” Her voice rose a little in the scale of pain.

MOST women who start out to beautify themselves begin with their complexion Then they get busy with their, hair, and after that they are ready for the dressmaker and the milliner. I think one ought to begin with one's feet. No girl ever feels that she Is well dressed until she is well shod. If your hat is loft over from last year, or your gown 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 people's attention from flown-trodden shoes or badly blacked pumps, and a hole In one’s stocking would upset even i nWf i Twa. .... . . .sgdWWfffetaMlwwwiWß ' VIT wl , (J pE^---- — MISS ELISE HAMILTON. <t)f Ziegfeld’s "Winsome Widow" t'o.) the president of the United Women's Clubs of the world. Besides the looks of one's feet, there is the one more important question of tlie feeling of them. People who can be amiable when tlieir feet are tired and uncomfortable deserve halos. Probably, if we knew it. most of the bad temp r 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 preserve your beauty, your looks and your disposition, keep your feet comfortable. White Stockings. The 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, ''hanging stockings, like changing your shoes, brings the wear and the rub on another part of the foot, and conse ■ .icntly saves the stockings. My hobby is shoes and stockings, and as long as my feet look all t ight I feel that I can face the world with calm ness. If you want to know how sensitive Iteople are about the w ay they are shod, sit In a street car and gaze fixedly at the feet of the woman opposite you. She will get so uncomfortable that ton to one you can make her 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, mon are more particular about their shoes than women are. ami you seldom see a man in very moderate cir cumstances whose shoes aren't nicely polished, while lots of women overlook this part of their toilette. If you are a dancer or have to stand on your feet for a long time every 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 tired 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 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 lo dry tlie toes separately, the best thing to do is to dust the foot with foot powder or talcum powder. A Popular Complaint. Many of the girls In companies In which 1 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 .'es which come on the inside of the sitoes ami which are made to correct this trouble \\ hen your feet are very tired and the skin aches, as it often seems to. rub the soles of your feet with vinegar or with lemon juice after bathing. 1 know of one beauty shop where the cus- Up-to-Date Jokes 'Array (on his holiday)—Fancy livin' ere all yet life!

This beauty doctor said that more wrinkles come from foot troubles than from financial worries, and 1 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 thqt 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 sum? 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 out of gear somehow a.ntl the weight is badly bal anced and lhe 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 be more than an inch and a half in the heel, but a great many people don't find sensible Hat shoes at all comfortable. A Great Trouble.
