Ill Effects y rom Modern ZOO wear.
A study of feet and toes in the
casts of the museum is uncommonly
interesting and instructive. The
Greek statualy, much OF it dated
centuries before Christ, seems to
prove that the Greeks had feet much
like the modern New Workers.. The
most beautiful of the Greek feet are
followed out we'll, both inside and
out They have short heels, high
ly spatulated at the ends. This is
the type OF the most beautiful modern
foot 1t is, on the whole, a foot not
frequently seen in its perfe ction, for
often one or the other element of
beauty is wanting, says the New
York sun. The rarest point of beau
~ is the following of the outside OF
the foot, ltused to he that the shoe
makers lasts We're made upon Greek
principles, but for several years
lastmaliers have been making a hump
on the outside of the last just above
the point where the slight hollow
should be. If anyone would convince
himself that the hollow on the out
side OF the foot is rare, let him watch
the prints that seaside bathers leave
when they step on dry plank walk.
Most of such footprints show II great
fr or smaller hollow on the inside OF
the foot. but nearly every one shows
q straight wet mark on the outside.
The sandaled feet of the Greek
goddesses in marble are much like
the feet OF the modern women at
any rate, of the modern infant before
the feet have been modified by leather

AN ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT.
 The tableau, "Vivants," at the Town hall, on August l, drew out the largest and most fashionable audience it's walls have held for long time. It was packed. The entertainment we'll deserves the patronage, for it was fine. Mrs Harrall and Mrs Clucas, who man aged it, deserve great credit for the sue cess attained and to Mrs J. o. Wright, who arranged the ''pietures' most ar tistically and perfectly, too much praise cannot be given. The successful posing showed the result of patient practicing and each participant took their part well, especially the little tots. The in- termission was most agreeably occupied by Mrs Wallace Merwin Buckley, who sweetly rendered My Lady's Bower" and was obliged to respond to an encore. A surprise not down on the bills, was the calling out from the audience of Eric Bushnell, who obligingly sang a drinking song, and in response to an en- encore "Rock me in the cradle of the Deep" After the close of the program the audience was 10th to leave. As a result of the two entertainments the charitable fund has received a good start.

THE LIBRARY FAIR.
Brilliant Success. Pretty Booths and Charm. ing Attenaants.-Note of the Event.

The managers of the library fair scored success on Tuesday night, in their fair, quite beyond their expecta- tions. The rain storm in the early after noon cleared away, and the sun shone forth once again before it sank behind the western hills, bringing joy to the managers of the fair. The gross re- ceipts of the fair were $l2l.32, leaving a net profit of Sll0. The old Town hall fairly blushed in it's gay attire, It looked handsome. The booths were ar- ranged on either side. One booth was decked with bunting and tiny flags, another iu pink with sweet peas as floral trimmings. Still another was decorated with ferns, which were quite general in the decorations. Chinese lanterns and bunting helped to complete the decora- tions about the hall. The fair was opened at o'clock with the farce, That Rascal Pat" which was given lively presentation. The cast was as follows :: Pat MoNoggerty, u handy servant,
 Harris M. Clark, Major punJacket, on halt pay,
 Wul N. Northrop. Charles Livingston, poor but ambitious,
 Arthur J. smith. Laura, niece to PuirjaclSet and in love
 with Charles, Miss Mamie Blackman Nancy her maid, in love with Pat,
 Miss Hattie NorthI op. The managers of the fair feel deeply indebted to Mrs Wesley Hayes, who con- tributed literally and assisted in the ar- engagement of the fair and in the work of the evening. Mrs platt, who was the prime mover in the fair, deserves great credit. Baker VanRiper contributed a bridal of cake, which was drawn by Miss Annie Sanford. A fine quilt was drawn by Mrs knowlton and an elaborate sofa pillow by Will Nichols.
