went Homo in Her stocl.lngs

A lady who visited Hooley's theatre the
other evening suffered through the first act
of the play with exceedingly tight shoes.
When the curtain fell she condded her suffer-
ings to her husband, and he suggested that
she slyly remove her shoes till the perform
ance was over. This she did, and the conse-
quent relief afforded her allowed her proper
enjoyment of the other acts. When tho cur
tain went down for tho last time she discov-
cred to her horror that her feet had SO swollen
In tho warm atmosphere Of the house TINT
she could not get the tight shoes oven on
her toes As they had only to walk to the
fremont house, and as the lady had on
black stockings, her husband told her to do
the shoes up in her programme and walk
along as though nothing had happened. This
shc did, and they started to move out slowly
with the crowd. Tho lady walked along
comfortably until near the door, when she
suddenly began to jump and cavort around
as though mad. Her stockinged feet had
struck an exceedingly warm register, and the
heat had curied her feet out Of shape during
her brief sojourn on It. When she struck the
stone sidewalk outside chill replaced the
fcverish feeling, and when she reached the
fremont she swore never to wear tight shoes
to the theatre again. Chicago Herald.
