The Clothes We Wear.

Is there any one thing more I'M
satisfactory TO the woman who finds her
self getting along In years than the
aggravation OF getting shoes that will
not either slop all over her feet or pinch
into excruciating misery the corn which
has at last appeared upon her once I'm
blemIshed FOOT II Is very difficult To
get shoes to suit you, unless you have
that narrow, long and rather low instep-
ed foot which all the shoemakers seem
to have in mind when making shoes.
But | want to tell you secret, II you
do not already know 1.-THE whole
difficulty in getting shoes 10 FIT les In
the width. No, | will not say the whole
difficulty, Tor the maker Of the shoe has
something to do with II as well But
remember the name OF the shoes that
fit and Of those which did not fit, and
then be sure and get the shoes WIDE OF
narrow enough to be quite comfortable
and you are all right. II you can wear
q No. ) shoe, II II is l.. L. width, that
does not argue that you can decrease
the width OF your shoe II you choose to
take longer shoes to suit your foot to the
prevailing fashion. The width OF a
snoe does not increase proportionately
witt the length, remember that. Aud u
narrow shoe, even IL Is much too long
for you, will just surely develope either
a hard or soft corn. Therefore, learn
your width Of shoe and then never Tor
the sake Of convenience or style allow
yourself to be coaxed into getting one
letter narrower. As to the stocking, IL
IS far more comfortable 10 most people
TO wear cotton hose all winter than II Is
to put on cashmere or even heavier
nose. II the wooden hose are decided
upon, hope you went at once and got
pair of shoes at least one size longer
and quite as wide as your old ones. II
you did not, you have my sympathy.
UNDERWEAR FOR CHILDREN.
a little child, and II wasn't n girl,
strange to say, was brought TO doctor
the other day with n hacking cough and
a pale, listless face, and the mother
was greatly distressed lest incipicnt
consumption was manfesting itself In
the once romping form Of her darling.
1t didn't take the shrewd physician long
to unravcl the mystery, and to find OUT
where the seat OF all the difficulty lay.
In very few minutes he had undressed
the child, and found upon its body a
pair Of stif. starched corsets, which are
called in the shops underwaists. but
wnich have bones and heavy double
seams, with cords and starch 10 make
the whole snug God save the markl)
and which had shrunk. but which the
mother had kept ON the child because
she did not wish just then to buy others
TheseIwaists by frequent washings and
the natural growth Of the child had
become at least two inches too small for
the child, and incipient consumption
had set In: but with the removal u the
deadly pressure and cafe as to diet aud
exercise In the open air. the child was on
the high road TO recovery. ] was SO
Mortified by this incident that thought
! would ask my friendly mother readefs
II they have put those health destroying
corsets upon The precious forms OF Their
children, and II they have, how much
too small they have grown with the
washings Of this winter II does no,
take an hour to make n stout plain
waist to fasten drawer and petticoats
70. rnd when. you make, give at least
FRAT, inches more than the loose waist
measurement OF the child.
