THE SUMMER SHOE.
A Word Of Advice Concerning fashionable
Foot Wear.

Word of Advice Concerning fashionable
Foot Wear.
The low shoe that is laced, with a
high vamp of patent-leather and an
upper of kid, a medium high heel and
an arched instep, isgivcn the preference
in black; and, unless one is going to
have a great many shoes, that would be
the wisest to choose.
The tan undreSsed kid, also laced,
aseill again be worn, but with it. as with
the gray shoe, there must be stockings
to match, so that in selecting a color
like either of these the expense does not
just stop at. the Shoes. Scarlet
slippers are shown that have jet
beads in most elaborate fashion
all over the toes. and. this per-
with them, though it must be confessed
that the scarlet ones look better. Do
not believe for an instant that the very
gaudy stocking that are displayed in
the shop windows are bought by people
who give thought as to suitability in
dress. Plain black stockings, or those
matching the shoes with which they are
worn, are the ones favored, and those
showing elaborate stripes, plaids orvery
gorgeous patterns are bought by people
who are ignorant of what is proper, or
who have excessively vulgar taste. Ono
never errs in wearing black shoes and
/. stockings slo 85M9as tEaI -si1
Il j want to say little word about
heels. | am not a believer in the ex-
tremely high French heel: but if a heel
is chosen at all it should be one thatlifts
the foot a little from the ground, and
assists in the, walking. An extremely
high heel, throwing the foot forward
until it is in an abnormal position, is
as senseless as it. is out of fashion.
Fashion, my dear woman, seldom die
tates that which is not desira blei Good
fashions are introduced to you,g and
you, by exaggerating, make them silly
and unhealthful. Dame Fashion her
self thinks out what Is good for the
woman, what is suitable for her posi-
ton in life andwhat she can honestly
and truely afford to wear; and when
she is not seen in this it is because she
is foolish enough to elect to wear that
which Fashion has never set her seal
upon. but which the Dame would scorn

Microbe Panics.

Modern pathologists have made it
more than probable that the germs Of
some forty different diseases peryade
the atmosphere of our cities, as, the
.'meteoric dust" of Laplace pervades
every cubic foot of interstellar space,

those floating messengers Of death. has
good deal to do with swelling the
yearly exodus to Europe and Florida.

SHALL American affairs be dominated
by European influences without the

is question that becomes pertinent
Just at present by reason of the effort

movement had its inception in Ger

lon OF the American hierarchy. Should

ating homogeneous nation by the as

IT is said that the British govern

South Africa. The colony of Natal, on
which it is proposed to confer self-gov-

more than likely, if it obtains prac-

The Lawyer.

1t may seem out of place 10 say
anything in defence of that class OF
onr felloa-citiz ms who have chosen
the law for a profession. Unfortu-
nateiy and very uDjustly we think,
the lawyer has come to be regarded
a. kind OF 'Ishmaelite' his hand
against every man, ADD every mans
hand against him. With a grea.
many people ii has coma TO be re-
garded as more THAI q joke--a fact
that one essential ingredient of an
attorney, is rdscalty. Many people
really think that IN order 10 be a
lawyer, q man must necessarily be
dishonest. Never was there a greater
mistake. There are TWO classes of
men who are engaged in the legal
profession; one class is composed Of
lawyers, the other of 'petiifoggers.'
People fail to draw tho line between
the two, just as they fail to d!:tin-
2aish between coEsisten. church mem.
bers and members that are hypo.
critics; between reputable physicians
and quacks. No, it is not necessary,
nor does IL follow th&t a lawyer should
be less conscientious than men enga.
ged In other professions or trades.
Neither 10 1t true. No profession is
higher or nobler than the law, end no
class Of men is moro warmly and sin
cerely attached to the rinciples of
profession than tie lawyers. If men
could control their passions, and
c1ud bring themselves to the prsctice
OK ustice, Urbesrance, aud fair deal
ing. ore with smother, tic lawye-a.
and the practice OF the law, would
soon become matters of history only.
II is because men fail to act justly
toward each other, or because Though
mis-. lakes, or insttention, or temper,
they fail to understand each other,
that the services of the lawyer are
sought II is for another very cogent
reason that the lawyer is employed
when differences occur between men /:
and that is, because under the inhu-
| ence OF passion, which almost always
attends efforts TO settle disputed
matters, and the allpowerful facts Of
seli-lnterest, men are actually inca
| pable o! acting for themselves with
safety. They are forced to rely upon
some one who is free from passion
and whose judgment is cooler and
more reliable than their own. When
ever may be said or thought, no men
make greater or more disintaresied
sacrifices in, and fog their profession
than do tee lawyers. The lawy ors
do not make the cases for their clir
enIs, they take them Of necessity, as
the clients have made them for them
selves, ard are often compelled to-
struggle and fghI against hope, and
In he face of inevitable dcfea: A.
