Showing the Feet.
Philadelphia Press.


Time was when ladies would have deemed
it an acute misfortune to expose their feet
by accident as they now do by design, or at
least without hesitation. In ascending
stairs, in getting into carriages, in tripping
across muddy streets their efforts to conceal
them were almost always evident and sue
ceSsful and occasionally calisthenic and
grotesque. 1t was to avoid chance exposure
of these charming extremitieS of the Ameri-
can woman that the great American cOntri-
button to social etiquette was originated
which provided for the gentleman's always
going upstairs in advance of the lady. This
was the epoch of the unlovely prunella
gaiter. which (as shoe store windows di-
vulged) laced on the side, stopped at the
ankle, was capped with patent leather and
provided with low, broad heel. Now
adays it betrays ones age to confess MEM
DRY of that atrocity, so completely extinct
has it become. And with its extinction
naturally disappeared also the notion that
exposure of the feminine foot is immOdest.

Here, though, is where the furniture is
most OutrageOusly abused. The affair does
not take place usually until toward mid
night, when the parlor lights are low and
and her latest beau get very close to each
other, and WILL probably, both be sitting on
the same identical button i'll the settee; or
perhaps they may choose to give all the fur
niture i'll the room a vacation except one
hair, which they occupy together until the
old lady comes crawling down stairs in the
morning to get breakfast This sort of
business not only wears out the furniture
but makes the young mans breeches baggy
at the knees. He has to sit on the chair, OF
course; and she? She sits on him. the
writer SuppOseS, but as he has never been
there himself, he cannot speak ex ca thedra
on the subject.

You never see anything like this in the
sitting room. This is a young lady who
may be styled a child of nature. She is out
in the field sketehing, where only the grass
hOppers, the sun moths, the birds and a
few other unimpOrtant creatures see her.
She doesn't look around for chair, be-
cause she knows that while the woods may
be full of furniture, in one sense, it con-
tains nothing that is delicately shaped and
elegantly upholstered in the interest of arti-
ficiality and luxurious nonsense. Therefore,
she throws herself on the first convenient
knoll, and with an abandon that amounts
TO simplicity itself, she sketches or paints,
unruffled by the concerts that annoy her
when she enters the parlor.

This is the festive siren of the salon. She
has chosen a settee as scenic background
for displaying herself. 1t is possible that
she is dressed in light toilet of brilliant
shades; if so, the settee is sufficiently dark
to make a charming contrast. Like Katisha,
the daughter-in-law-elect of the Mikado,
this lady has left shOulder-blade that is a
marvel of beauty, and her right elbow, too,
seems TO be blessed with fascination that
few can resist. She knows this and takes
advantage of the furniture in setting all her
good points off. Her attitude indicates that
she is fixed for conquest that means
trampled hearts and mangled hopes.

This is Miss Innocence on a lawn bench.
Her knees are twined and there is a sug-
geStiOn of free-and-eaSiness about the lower
half of the picture she presents that does
not coincide with the bashfulnesS and mod
esty that are expressed in the bowed posi-
ton of the head or the Misunderstanding
intentness of the eyes. 1t is evident that
there is little foundation for the air the fair
fraud is putting on at this moment, and the
illustration shows to Just what extent FEM
ininity can impose on lawn benches and
parlor chairs in making these articles ac-
tons.

next epoch, other systems were conceived
until at the present day millions of dollars
in round sums are annually expended in
conspicuously placing before the public the
wares or professional services of those who
seek public patronage.
1t is notable fact that the American pe0-
pie are the most extensive advertisers OF
any. In the United States all prosperous
business men are extensive advertisers. To
see neat and attractive advertisement
usually augurs a prosperous merchant.
But as to the various modes of advertis-
ing, the opinions Of even the most eXpe-
rienced are as diversified as are the colors
of the rainbow. One business man will ell

III the subject,

This is where lady crowds great deal
of effect into her posture. Put a woman
behind horse of any pretensions, and she
can surround the tea cart which she adorns
with more chic, nOnchalance and all that
sort of thing than the oldest and best turtle
who has ever toyed with the ribbons. She
knows that everybody is looking at her, and it
pleaSeS her more than all else to think that
to nine-tenths of the men and all the women
who do not know her she is a mystery that
they would give something to solve. Every
body asks, as she passes, who she is, and
if there is one human condition that a fe-
male prefers to all others, it is that which
attracts attention to her, and makes her,

Keep thu Head Clean.

Keeping the head perfectly clean,
says writer of the Salem, Mass,
Gazette, is great aid to health. A
distinguished physician, who has spent
much Of his time at quarantine, said
that person whose head was washed
every day rarely ever took contagious
diseases, but when the hair was
allowed to become dirty and matted it
was hardly possible to escape injection.
Many persons find speedy relief for
nervous headache by washing the head
thoroughly>in. weak soda water. We
have known cases almast wholly cured
in ten minutes by this simple remedy.
A friend finds it the greatest relief in
case of rose. cold,' the cold
symptoms entirely leaving the eyes
after one thorough washing oi the hair,
The head should be thoroughly dried

A beautiful girl, with large blue

despairingly and burst into tears.

The large man. who looked like q

the deck hand was-doing his duty, and
that the ferry company.had ordered all
nuisances suppressed. He acknewl-

arose around him, at which he seemed
somewhat disconnected, and approach.

Then she told her pltiful story of q

"Oh, don't send me to prison." she
cried, breaking completely down.
The large man was abashed, and the
crowd looked angry and scornful
again. He at once apologized, and to
show his regret tor his blunder imme.

Of late years is attracting the attention
Of the public and calling for the com.
menls of the medical men. Since
January last 450 children have died of
the disease in New York city. while in
1884 the number of deaths for the same
period was only IA. while the total
for the year WAS 762. The doctors say
that the same causes which have
carried of 50 many grown people with
pneumonia have made measles unusu-
ally fatal--sudden and violent changes
in temperature. They say, moreover,
that measles are treated too lightly by
mothers, nurses and caretakers Of
children in general, and in many cities
IN Europe and America kills rs many
children as does any other contagious
