A perfect foot is a thing of beauty
and a joy forever. For symmetry of
proportion and perfectness of line no
other portion of the human anatomy
compares with it. The old masters rec
ogniZed this fact and often took the foot
as their model instead of the face, hand
or bust. But alas! how few there are
who have perfect feet or anything ap-
preaching perfection? Not one in q
thousand. Under the most favorable
circumstances there would be few who
would have what might be called pretty
feet, and these few are lessened by two
causes. First, by over-anXious mothers
and fathers who desire to see their chill
dren walking at an age when they
should be creeping, the result being the
unShaping of their tender little mem
bel which no amount of care in after
years can change. Second, by people
themselves, who in their fooishness
fancy that a foot in order to be pretty
must be small, and carrying out this
line of thought crowd their No feet
into No. shoes. From the latter re-
suit cOrns, bunions and misery, but the

SON: Very probably duringsthe winter
months mademoiseile had her maid or
the perambulating hairdresser, who,
Dye-the-bye, is feature in city life to-
day, curl her bang for her. When she
IS away she may not have anyone to do
1t. and naturally, being novice, she
resorts to the easiest method, which is
usually either curling it on an iron
or wearing it all night on
th kid rollers. The consequence is
the bang is unshapely, irregularly
curIed and too often so stubborn that
the greatest number of lace pins will
not keep it in position. Now, what
ought to be done is this: A decision
should be made as to how the hair is to
sbe curled during the summer. and at
least month before the going-away
time it should be arranged by the hair
dresser in that fashion. After nine
months of curling the bang in papers it
is not likely in two days to submit to
the establishments of an iron. But if
an expert manages it before mademoi-
selle leaves the city her bang will be In
perfect condition for her to manage her.
self.
What do 1 advise? The round curling
tongs, of medium size, and the small
alcohol lamp, which comes especially
for heating them. This may be put in
ones trunk, and if one is going into the
woods, where the burning fluid cannot
be gotten, a bottle of it may be carried
in the hand bag; or, if ones abiding
place is near drug shop, one may count
on getting it there. The objection
to tine kid rollers is that they seldom
curl the ends of the hair. Of course
they will do it if great care is taken,
but a girl who has danced until l o'clock
is not very apt to give this care as she
puts up her bang for the night. The
iron is always at hand, and one can
freshen ones self up by its use at a few
moments notice. A fluffy bang is the
approved framing for face; but even
beauty does not draw by this multitude
of hairs if they are untidy, badly curled
and unbecOniingly arranged. BAB.
