And the tears scintillated on Macgie's
pale cheeks as the dew in the SUI. on the
petals of white roses.
Heals, it is said, owe their origin to Per
STA, where they were introduced uoon san
oals IN the shape of blocks of wood fixed
underneath, such being the root idea of
these detormities to which lovely woman
owes so many Of her woes. A high, W.
steady heel, 1t Is an open secret, Injuries the
leg tsndons and affects the spine, as well as
the internal organs, which are liable TO be
displaced by the thrown forward position
entailed.
In Persia. the home OF the high heel, how
ever, toese blocks of wood were used simply
70 raise the feet from the burning sands Of
the country, aud were about two inches
high" With the Persian women these
blocks were vastly higher than those erected
oy the men, their hight being from eighteen
Inches to two feet, thus becoming more of
the nature Of stills than anything else.
Strangely enough, many years after,
similar fashion came into vogue in Venice,
but the motive IN this case was comically
different, for by its means Jealous hus-
bands thought they would be able to keep
their wives at home" The supports Of such
shoes in Venice were called ''chapineys, :"
and to appease the vanity of the ladies, and
doubtless also to sugar the pill, we're made
highly ornate.
The hight Of these chspineys determined
the rank Of the wesrer, an extra coating
for the pill, 1.-THE MODEST DANES being per-

A Narragansett correspondent Of the
Providence Journal has this to say of the
southern and western girls there: Their
statures and figures are u discovery to the
New Highlander, who sees them in large
numbers for the first time. They are built
with large shoulders, are taller, have ampler
limbs. and nature has been less chary of
the charms Of Womanhood than to our New
England and northern ladies'. They are
healthier, too, if the matter of health can
be decided by their way Of moving about
aud carrying themselves. If they have
tiny waists they invariably look as if they
had not been obliged to win them by art
alone. They can be seen on evenings, when
there are hops at the Casino. subiecting
the piaZzas in fashion that New England
girls rarely care to. Frequently they come
out into the tower without shawls over
their bare shoulders and while all aglow
with the flush of continuous dancing
sit on the stone parapet, taking the breezes
from the sea without pnlDitabing anew even
when there is a mist in the atmosphere. Or
they walk home to the hotels, and sitting
upon the hotel piazza throw tack their
mantles and receive the fresh, keen cir up
on their uncovered necks and heads. Is
there some proud New York girl, not an
exception to the New England types, who
whispers yes but what figuresl and what
absence of styleW If you can see the big
Western belle on the beach the next day,
you will agree with the New Yorker. The
heavy arms, the thick and not always hand
some legs, the broad and full busts, the
solidiuy Of the trunk Of the body are re-
vealed or suggested il bothing suits. And
very often these women lose their grace of
appearance. What was magnificent when
dressed for promenade, becomes simply cor
poresl and realistic udder the scrutiny that
bedraggled flannel permits.
