After the Stars report of the Parnell exam

during which he denied that the Irish World

Warm Words of Praise for the Militia
of the District.

The District militia evidently created very
favorable impression in New York. for nearly
all the papers make mention Of their fine ap-
pearance and soldierly bearing
The Star says: "A handsome lot of troops
came over from Washington under command
OF Col. VIM. G. Moore"
The Press asserts that ''the Belknap Rifles
from Texas. the Orlando Guards from Florida,
and the Washington Light Infantry wore the
handsomest uniforms in the parade
The MorhiRg Journal refers to the famous
Washington Light Infantry"
The Times saws: The purely military dis
play was wound up by tho troops of the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Washington Light In
fantry was loudly cheered They wore white
coats with blue and gold facing and huge bear
skin hats They marched beautifully. The
CorcOran Cadets made another hit A trick
band attlred IN cream-cOlored coats headed a
body attlred in the handsomest uniforms seen
during the day. This uniform was olive green
In color. The trousers carried white stripe.
In the green and gold helmets were worn white
plumes. The women said the uniforms were
too lovely to wear. The District more than
held her own in the parade. She sent more
men than most of the states. and the gentlemen

well. to tell you the truth, no. She always

But you said these were the very best"
For wear and quality-so they are
Then why should Mrs. Lightfoot pay dol
lar extra for hers?''
''Why. she won't have anv other shoe but
Fltem Cos, because she can wear a size
smaller OF theirs than she can of any others. d"
"Oh. but you really don't mean to say that I
could wear No. shoe of What's-his-name's
Certainly you could. You see they have
got designer of patterns who is a perfect
genius and who understands the human foot
the same as schoolmaster does his b C's.
He explained his system to me one day, and
find he Is thoroughly posted. His idea is, in
the first place, to abbreviate the longitudinal
pressure forward, and then. by propelling the
lateral distension sideways, he of course makes
the shoe a size shorter than it would have been
had he made it the full length"
Dear me. how simple that seems. And
you are sure could wear a No. of this make?'
Positive. Here's pair. Try them on and
see for yourself"
why, these are just too nice for anything.
They fit perfectly. They amt bit tight. Are
you sure they are only twos?"
You can see for yourself. Size mark
stamped in plain figures on sole and lining.
There it is: size No. 2. width A."
We'll. I'll take this pair. and after this you
won't catch me wearing any other make"
This sounds like fiction. but it is a literal
fact. The conversation took place just as it is
written with the exception of the names. Al
though the measurements Of the womans foot
called for a No. 3. she was fitted perfectly with
No. 2. The explanation is simply this:
There are manufacturers who, when ordering
sets of lasts, instruct the sellers to deliver them
unstamped. The stamping is done in the shoe
factory. each last being marked half size or q
size smaller than it measures. The uppers are
numbered to match the lasts and the deception
is complete.
