An ExAMPLE.-A strong-minded, sensi-
BILE woman of our village, 1--WE wish there
were more OF them,) ordered at one of our
shoe stores, few weeks ago, pair of calf
boots, 'just such as the men wear to use
through the spring weather When re-
minded by the lady friend with her that she
would make a noise and disturb the congre-
CATION in entering church with her thick
boots, she replied that she thought il better
to make little noise in entering church
than it was TO sit and cough throughout the
entire service, thereby disturbing the whole
assembly. Was there not common sense
in this reply? And does not the fact that
the feet and ankles of Americans are mot
properly protected from the weather account
for many of the pulmonary diseases for
which we as a nation are getting notorious
In the list Of contents of the wardrobe OF
the Princess Royal of England, on her re-
cent marriage, there was one enumeration
that should attract the attention Of our
Young women. 1t was of'' twelve dozen
pairs of boots" described as " useful and
solid !" and some of them designed for
| rough walking, had treble sotes And in
this connection, we would beg Of our lady
readers to use their boots more--to walk more.
An English lady,-and even many OF the
ladies in our cities, of whom some have the
idea that they are utterly incapable OF en-
/ during any physical exertion- think moth
ing of walking from fire to ten miles a day
They have been bred to rational habits Of
exercise, and they know that beauty is not
long consistent with i'll health.-.&. Johns
