FEMININE ANKLES.
OId Women and Young Ones Who
Cross y Muddy Street.


A quiet but very observing gentleman
inquired with genuine solicitude the
other day for some explanation of the
incontrovertible fact that while young
women display marvellous deftncss in
managing their voluminous skirts In
outdoor exercise, elderly ladies, for
whom experience should have achieved
perfection, are painfully awkward, rs q
rule, In guarding their dress borders.
Now the contrary condition of affairs
would be altogether natural. for ma.
jority Of girls have such smooth, well
turned ankles, with slender, archcl
feet, shod in silk and kid, that even IL
their pretty petticoats were elevated the
least morscl above the instcp line, no
mortal man could find II in his heart TO
grimble. a young, vigorous foot,
daintily clothed, that steps out with the
confidence and courage Of youth, is one
Of the most grateful sights in nature,
and nine persons in ten pause when the
opportunity Is offered Of catching u
glimpse of the pleasant pictures. In
spite of these attractive features, how
ever, u one stops to watch the maids on
q wet days outing, surprise will vie
with admiration in observing the won
derful way they contrive TO keep skirt
rims immaculate and screen their
ankles at the same time. Whether ne.
cessity causes them to climb into u
street.car or slip into carriage, to
traverse muddy crossing or over q
stile, everywhere and always the crisp
balyeuse are draped in close, mysterious
folds about the neat insteps until the
keenest scrutiny fails to discover more
than the toe of n polished boot.
With fifty years or more of constant
practice in this fine art how sad the re.
suits II is when heavy wool hose,
cloth CATERS with elastic sides, low heels
and broad soles and a general homcli-
ness of footgear has usurped the pretty
fripperings of girlhood that the dame
grows generous of alleged charms Few
women and certainly no man but re-
members with smile the very absurd
pictures q damp day under foot has re-
vealed for public entertainment.
Thought of the gaping crowd utterly
forsakes a goodly number of matrons
when they make ready to cross n sloppy
bit of road. She has the welfare of
her boots and gown in her mind,
the care of extra laundrying, and fe.
line hatred Of water, but little she recks
of other consequences. With firm, un-
flinching hands both sides Of her frock
are grasped, the distance from brink to
brink accurately measured with her eye,
then comes swift vision of black and
white, revelations of desolation some
times and the danger is past.
The unhappiest part of this strange,
unwomanly unconcern is that in many
cases the party entirely ignores the dry
ness of the balance of the pavement and
continues calmly down the street oh.
livious OF the ripple of amusement,
thinking ten to one how next month s
allowance can be made to get Fannie
the new toilet she covets, and at the
same time cover household expenses. =
