Whoever saw such Christmas

ever seen q lovelier December in any
cline The old-time Christmas with
its snowy carpet its CONCEALED water,
its blazing free, may exist further

lucky the weather is as joyous as
springtime. Christmas eve was as
pleasant day as blue sky, bright
sunshine and balmy breezss could
make 1t. Not cloud overhead, not
an adverse gale, not breath of frost !!
Nothing to remind us that mid winter
was at hand. Then came Christmas
dayl In its early hours gentle
shower, as mild and refreshing as
ever April sent, spread Its descending
moisture over the Garth and left the
pearly drops to sparkle on the green
and growing grass. When the face
of creation had been bathed in the
pu-ests of liquids, the MONDAY sun
came from behind the 1eecy clouds,

Behold the Iilstcliry pointing coSly

theeks Of beauty still toaier by
gentle zephyrs made. Il is hard to
realize in this enchanted land that the
Yuletide season has arrived, that
Christmas is at hand. Talk not Of
ethereal mildness in semi-tropic
homes, where cold weather Is I'M
heard-of and winter never comes
Tell us not of tho poetic mildness of
the glorious climate of the golden

No frigid blasts,no bowling winds, no
snow and ice to chill the srdor of

Who could fail 10 enjoy such
Christmas? Who is there that does
not feel thankful he is living? Surely
the world is grow ing better in its old
age. And Kentucky, God bless her,
she is Gods own footslool. Her
days Of booming prosperity are close
at hand, Her many advantages are
fast being heralded TO the outside
world. Her fertile soil, her hidden
wealth, her splendid resources, her
warm-hearted people, are becoming
known of all men. And row even

step. See, here is last of her foot. She takes a No. 21s shoe. the samc size as that of Mime. ModjeSka, who, by the way, has an instep a shade lower than Lillian's. These two have exceptionally fine feet" he added. ''They are as near an approach to the perfect thing as can be found; but the majority of our actresses are anything but fortL- nate in their feet. I treat many of them and tho agonies they endure in those tiny bottines must atone for many sins. Mrs. Langtry's foot is massive but shapely. That of Minnie Palmer. as you can see by this model, is almost classic in its outlines, and so is Ada Rehan's. Both are exceptionally we'll formed and are not tortured like some stage feet I know of
 "Variations in the feet" the chirop- odist added, indicate differences of nationality and vocation rather than of individual traits. The earliest associa- tion of the idea of beauty with the feet is the familiar declaration of St. Paul, Beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace," rather startling statement, if accepted liter ally. The only recorded instance of such an interpretation is that of a clergyman in the Baptist Convention of Kentucky in the days before the war. The brethren had been annoyed by the importunities of an eccent tric individua who believed himself called to preach the gospel. The saying of St. Paul was cited by the minister, who then pointed to the feet of the applicant with the question:
 Don't you know that you have the largest and homliest feet of any man in Kentucky?'
 The applicant was silent and satisfied that his notion of being called to the service of Christ was mistake. GEORGE J. CLARKE.
