Eye can meet,
Than pretty woman
With shapely feet.
Bobby Burns, who caught the spirit Of
poetry from the crafts and hedges and the
mirroring Iochs Of romantic Scotland, was
rot guilty of the authorship OF the above
ines, but his facile pen never wrote dis
ich breathing deeper sentiment of truth
,han does this If a woman, no matter
low queenly her bearing, or how charming
Ter face. is cursed with feet that are un-
shapely, her facial beauty and stateliness
Of form 20 for nothing and she becomes a
butt of ridicule, when she might be an OBJ
iect of worship if nature had endowed her

tons and gracefully arching insteps.' Moth
ing so pleases the eye of a man. whether he be
coarse or refined in his tastes. as a pretty
foot, especially when it plays the important
part Of carrying around the body or a fe-
male, whether she be beautiful or ugly. A
dainty foot, incased in neatly-fitting shoe
goes further toward making breach in the
heart Of a man of the world than any
Establishment or affectatiOn that may be
brought to bear upon him by woman. 1t
stirs his blood anew. and sends it on a
double-quick through his veins; it has
about the same effect on his hair that an
electric battery would applied to his scalp;
IL nils his spine with a sensation as if
ten thousand caterpillars were running over
it; it makes him open his eyes and wakes
up his ambition. If there is one thing that
will make prOSelyte Of misogamist it is a
pretty foot, dressed in closely-ittng kid
shoes with Spanish heels, the tops
of which are buried in a world Of
white lace and embroidery. it bows
down his heart every time and cOmpels him
to recant all his vows and prejudices against
the fair sex. The wOman's heart is con-
stantly yearning after variety, and the ice
carnival this winter has brought to the
front the charming curiosity Of female feet
encaSed in mOccaSns, some of them plain,
Others as beautifully ornate with colored
beads as were those worn by the brown
eyed Minnehaha whose love was wOoed by
lithe-limbed Hiawatha, where the music Of
Laughing Waters filled the trembling air
with its pathOs. All feet do not look alike
IN mUccasns. Some look like feet, others
Ook like loaves of bread taken from the
buried ovens Of POmpeii or Herculaneum;
others lock as though they had been bor-
owed from the freight department of some
abroad for the occasion.

THE CHICAGO FOOT.
The Chicago girls foot is different from
any other foot that grows in North Amer

1t is Incompatible. 1t is pretty when seen
encased in a SHOE but the climax is reached
when itappears Snugly enscOnced in dainty
moccasm, richly garnitured with yari-cOlored
beads. 1t is startling revelation of beauty
bound in bUckskin. 1t is thing the sight
Of which builds raging fires in the coolest
heart and raises the temperature Of the
blood up to point where it would boil
eggs. 1T is thing that man never tires
OF looking at and when his
mate modesty prompts him to
turn his back on it, he unconsciously twists
his back until the back Of his head and his
toes both point the same way. It's glin-
mering will-o'-the-wisp that silently beck
Ons you on, and you find it requires an
athletic Will to resist the becllOn, while You
know to grasp it would end in eternal de-
structiOn, for st. Paul girls carry vehe-
mence in their kick that leaves lasting I'M
preston. 1T is a sight that 10 the aged is
what the fountain Of perpetual youth was
to Ponce de Leon. 1t is u dandy, with all
the frills and tucks, dOube-boX plaits and
Hamburg trimming added. 1t is dream
in which a man can revel and forget to die.
1t is an eternity of bliss. But the ST. Paul
girls can't help it. and from the naive man
to peep out from beneath the southern
borders of their gaudy ulsters they don't
want to. They seem proud of their feet.
and they have reason TO be
for they can't be equaled in
any land that feels the kisses of the sun.
and if they choose TO wear their ulsters
little shorter no indignation meetings would
be held. They possess all the essentials of
perfect beauty; narrow toes dainty. heels
arching instepS and most charming of ali
tapering ankles that are lost all too soon in
a cloud of flannel. and they seem to scorn
the ground, which they hardly press with
ardor enough to leave an imprint as they
pass over it. Once seen, they are never TO
be forgotten.
THE SAN FRANCISCO FOOT.
During the carnival there have been rep
Tesentative ladies from all parts of the
United States and they have all worn the
mOccasin, that adds SO much to the beauty
of some feet and lends so much to the nat
ural ugliness of others. The girl from San
Francisco wears DOT that bushes every
time it becomes visible to the naked eye. 1t
is an extremely modest creation.

impression that it is going out to deliver
temperance lecture somewhere. 1t grows
freely in the sandy soil along the Atlantic
coast and is often found running wild in
that country. When attached to l6O-pou

weapon of defense, especially when the en-
envy is coming from the foot at the time il
makes the attack. In time like this it is

ern Bivouac'' and nephew of the late
Bishop McGill of the Catholic church. He
had letters purporting to be from Gems.
Joe Johnston, Longstreet and Kemper,
and said he was engaged in writing up the
battle of Fredericksburg. He deceived
the unsuspecting priest to such an extent
chat he got him to endorse draft for $50
on which he got the money. Learning
that Father Donahoe had lived in Staun-
ton, he asked many questions about Mrs.
Gen. J. E. b. Stuart's school and the Au-
gusta Female Seminary and about the
prominent citizens here, evidently medi-
tating raid on this city. He then left.
On Tuesday last he was recognized In a
street car 10 Washington city, by S. G.
Shortlidge, of Medina, Pa. Academy, who
he had swindled out of money on the 9Th
inst, by getting him to endorse draft.
