A perfect foot is a great rarity. It
should be of a size graduated to the
height of the person, and white, well
Rrched, and firmly planted. Such
foot, neither too large nor too small put
Justly proportional to the stature 1t
supports, with a smooth surface, Tegu-
larly curved outline, and distinct dtyts-
ions, is now only to be seen in art.
The women of ancient Greece possessed
it, for the sandal she wore left the foot
unfettered and gave free develop
ment to its natural grace and proper
lions. The boot and shoe of our day,
with the prevalent notion that every
thing must be sacrificed to smanness,
have squeezed the foot into an Elisha
pen and indistinct mass, where 1t Is
impossible almost to recognize its
parts, and especially the toes, in the
individuality and completeness OF their
original forms. In all antique statues
the second toe is observed to be longer
and more salient than the others. This
was undoubtedly the original form of
nature, but it Is seldom il ever seen in
the modern foot, the shape of which has
been SO greatly perverted by tue shoe.
AS our coarse climate and fastidious
delicacy forbid the scandal, and render
the boot and shoe necessary care
should be taken to adapt them as per-
fectly as possible 10 the natural confor-
nation or the feet. They should be
long and wide enough to admit of a
free play of the toes. The space be-
tween the heel and beginning OF the
sole should be firm, and OF the same
curve as tho natural arch OF the loot.
A boot or high shoe should be prefer
red to low one or a slipper, for it pro-
tects the foot better, and prevents the
tendency to swelling, supports the low
er part of the leg, and is favorable to
the walk and attitude.

BEARING AND ADDRESS.


The beauty of women depends great
ly, after all, upon her bearing and adj
dress. The most perfect face and form,
il deficient in expression ana grace,
will fail to attract, while irregular fea-
lures and disproportioned body are
not seldom endowed with the most
winning power. Our American women,
with all their acknowledged attractions
do not reach the very highest standard
of beauty as often as they might
for want of due attention TO their
expression, attitude and walk
They are ordinarily too brisk i;
and this is no less true of the
muscular action of their faces than OF
their forms. Hence results jerkiness,
If we may use the word, which Is fatal
to that calm and almost languid flow OF
movement essential female grace. The
Greek women of antiquity, who were
very studious of their attitudes and ac-
tions, thought hurried and sudden
step a certain sign of rusticity. La
Bruyere says q fool never comes In or
goes ont of a room, sits down or rises
up, or stands upon his legs like a per-
son of sense. A habit of walking stifhy
frequently comes from wearing exces-
sively tight dresses, particularly in
youth; and very ugly way of step
ping heavily is generally produced in
children by their nurses and other
grown people not adapting their walk
to theirs. a certain relaxation as 1t
were, or abandon, as the French say,
in each attitude, and a graceful supple
ness in every movement, greatly In

tivnup1a I'll

THE SHOULDERS,

The neck should be carried straight,
fact, that the feshy part below the jaw
may form as it were double chin.
Various contrivances, in the shape of
brides, martingales and collars, have
been resorted to in order to keep chill
dren's necks straight; but they are OF
no use. People who are in the habit OF
carrying weights upon their heads,
observed to be remarkably upright. It
has, therefore, been advised to make
children do the same, with the view OF
giving straightness to their figure.
This, If done with moderation, will
probably prove advantageous.

SHOOTING BY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
September lin Old Cambridge yester-
day afternoon the Rev. John Owen shot
thief in his garden. Mr.. Owen formerly
kept q large bookstore in Cambridge, and
at one time was q Unitarian minister, but
of late years he has lived rather secluded
life. The place has not been properly cared
for, and the fences are dilapidated. Yes
terday Michael Sheen, about eighteen years
of age, entered the premises, and was pick
ing up some Of the windfall fruit, when
Owen discharged pistol, and the charge
entered Sheen's back at the base OF the
spine. 1t is said that three shots were
fired. The shooting drew large crowd to
the spot, and the excitement was increased
by the arrest of Owen. When the facts
became generally known the friends OF
Sheen collected in large numbers, and 1t
was at one time feared that violent mea-
sures might be INDUCED in. The prisoner
was lodged IN the police station, and was
visited by the Hon. Charles Sumner and
other gentlemen during the evening. Mr..
Sumner graduated at Harvard in 1889, the
same year in which the prisoner finished
his studies in the law school. This morn
ing arrangements were made to arra1gn the
prisoner, and it being found that Sheen was
still alive, the hearing was continued until
tomorrow, Owen furnishing bail in ST. 900
for his appearance. The ball still remains
in Sheen's body, and though he is expected
to recover, it will be many weeks before ne
will be able to work again, as the wound is
in dangerous spot. Mr.. Owen says that
he did not know the youth was there, but
that he saw boys near the trees and fired
high to brighten them.
