Henlth I'm Bnre Feet.

As to the healthiness of going with
out shoes or stockings there can be no
question. Some OF the healthiest chill
dren in the world are found in the Scot
fish highlands, where shoes are seldom
worn at an earlier age than twelve and
thirteen. The negro and cody laborers,
who work barefooted, are usually in ro-
bust health. Brown, in the History of
Man." tells Of an African monarch who
suffered from what appeared to have
been a cold in the head, beside other all
ments, while his people were always as
Well as possible. Can il be that the rea-
son was that. by the laws of his king
dom, he alone was permitted to clothe
his feet, and that he gratified his vanity
by always wearing gorgeous sandals?
1t is probably generalizing too much
to state as medical fact that the bare
footed races are the healthiest. But il
is certain that bare feet are healthier
than badly shod feet. In our English
village children are constantly sent to
school in wet weather with holes in thier
shoes. They sit for hours with damp
feet, and illnesses are the result. If their
parents would send them off barefooted
as is done in Scotland and Ireland, their
feet would dry by evaporation in a short
time, and it would be found that no harm
followed.-London Hospital.

The Woman Who Hn. Tnct.

There is nothing that carries a woman
so far toward the goal Of social success
as tact. She may not possess those quail
tiles necessary for leadership. but she
will have no difficulty in securing so firm
a foothold that she need have no dread
of a greater power dawning upon the
social horizon. The reason for this is
that in reality tact is but another word
for goodness of heart, and innate kind
ness to all must be the keystone that the
woman of the world builds the castles
Of her ambition upon.
The tactful woman always says and
does the right thing at the right time
She never wounds by these gaucheries
which all unintentiOnally. yet neverthe-
less painfully, remind us of things we
had rather have forgotten or tells US
unpleasant truths that are no less bitter
because We know that there is no deny
ing them.
Tact passes over every faux pas and
somehow manages to convert them into
something pleasant before the embar-
raised perpetrator has a chance to raise
a blush at his own awkwardness. All
graces Of mind and body seem embodied
in that one word. for a woman may be
painfully plain, yet with this virtue she
becomes radiantly lovely in the eyes of
InOSe WnOIn her cOnSummate art has
rescued from some dire strait.
She may be poor. but TO those about
her the richness Of her nature atones for
the lack of worldly wealth. Her gowns
may be dowdy but as she dwells among
us she appears TO be clothed in gar
ments of radiant light. and it would be
a brave spirit indeed that dared to caviI
at the makeup of woman whose gra-
cious presence and tactful spirit had
spared them many a period of embar-
raSSment. Above all virtues cultivate
tact, for in it lies the secret of all 9TH

1t has often been observed that in the
eastern cities women sent out on night
details are compelled to go unattended
while here in San Francisco, If a woman
is sent out at all on a detail that involves
the least exposure to the rough element,
she is provided with an escort. Indeed
in San Francisco and other western cities
women are often assigned to other night
work than that of dramatic and society
reporting or lecture and association re-
porting
Few women are employed on the daily
press in San Francisco. The Call has one
woman on it's staff: The Chronicle en-
ploys one woman. but it is an innova-
ton: the Examiner employees two and
sometimes three women: the Post, the
Bulletin and the Report have no women
on the regular staff; the News Letter
employs one, the Wasp three. the Ar
gus one and the West End one. The
press of the West is uniformly courteous
TO women workers and their efforts in
the right direction.
With its support, the newspaper women
of the Pacific slope have broader posi-
bilities and opportunities than any other
similar association in the country, for
the reason that the West is young and
its condition formative, and the progress
they are making is indicative that they
are taking every advantage of their stu
atiOn.-Californian.

The FiresIde Impressions.

The ireside Is a seminary of infinite
Importance. II is important because II
is universal and because the education IL
bestows, being woven in with the wool
of childhood. gives form and color TO the
whole texture of life. There are few who
can receive the honors of a college, but
all are graduates of the hearth. The
learning of the university may fade from
the recollection, its classic lore may
molder in the halls Of memory, but the
simple lessons of home enameled upon
the heart Of childhood defy the rust Of
years and outlive the more mature but
less vivid picture of after years. So
deep, so lasting indeed are the impress
sions OF early life that you often see a
man in the imbecility of age holding
fresh in his recollection the events OF
childhood. while ali the wide space be-
tween that and the present hour Is a
blasted and forgotten waste.
You have perchance seen an old and
half obliterted portrait and in the at
tempt TO have IL cleaned and restored
you may have seen IL fade away while
a brighter and more perfect picture

There Is nothing that men of society
dislike so much or criticise so freely as
untidiness in a woman. Slovenly details
in the way OF shoes. gloves. ties. etc.
are always noticed and commented
upon, and TO say a woman is smart"
and well turned out" is to give the
highest need of praise in their vocab-
ulary. Very expensive clothes are not
at all necessary to insure masculine
appreciation. on the contrary, the sim
plest toilets are the most admired if
the fit and style are good and If the ac-
cessories are carefully considered, and.
above all. If the gown is fresh and I'M
soiled.
There is something quite fascinating
about daintily shod foot peeping in
and out among the 'frills Of her petit
coat" and nowadays expense need be
no obstacle, as the pretty suede shoes,
black and white and tan and gray, are
very reasonable in price. Even girl
who is far from wealthy can easily af-
ford several pairs TO wear upon special
occasions. while her feathers, tan and
black. can so easily be kept brilliantly
clean by the right sort of polish.
a man also is more apt to admire
style than beauty. A girl who is chic"
and dresses effectively is generally
much more Of a belle than her more
beautiful sister. who perhaps relies too
much on her prettiness for her attrac-
tions. After all is said and done. clothes
are and will remain one of the chief
factors of our existence, the tailor max
ing the man and the dressmaker the
woman as far as externals go. Humil-
ating as il may seem, a becoming or an
unbecoming gown often influences des-
tiny more than women. much as they
love clothes, dream Of.
What is the matter with women's
skirts for the last year or two that they

asked a hypercritical youth the ether

gether at the waist Now. your waist

tinued. addressing his companion.

really like to tell my sisters, who are
always coming apart
They will not thank you for quoting
me to them" laughed his companion,
but unless things are sewed together
there is only one way, and that is TO
wear the band OF the skirt very tight;
otherwise II is sure TO sag below the
belt And besides this. there should be
two sets of hooks and eyes, so that
there is a good lap. Tell your sisters

English Mourning Etiquette.

The period of mourning for father
in-law is twelve mOnths-ten months
black. two months half mourning-crape
is seldom worn, although the Grape
period was formerly. six months. For a
parent the period is the same as above.
The longest period for a brother is six
months-five months black, one month
half mourning. The Grape period was
formerly three months; it is now almost
discarded The shortest period is four
months black, no half mourning. We
may remark that the period of mourn
ing for a father-in-law is often shortened
to six months when relatives reside at
a considerable distance from each other.

Every Girl should work.

Mrs. Lillian Plunkett of the San Fran
icsco women's press association writes:
A girl should be trained to be self
supporting just as carefully as a boy
and taught to look upon marriage as a
happy possibility, but not the end and
aim of her existence. Many women are
physically unsuited to be mothers of a
race. Must they therefore lead idle
purpOseless lives, dependent on fathers
or brothers for support?
Women should be treated with courtesy
and consideration, but they need not be
treated like dollhouse plants and denied
the experience that business contact with
the world would bring. Could any Wom-
an with particle of ambition or energy
be content to depend upon relations for
support If she We're left a widow without
means? And what If there were little
ones to provide for?
There is nothing which can so broaden
A woman's mind and bring her to a real
izing sense Of the struggles of humanity
as personal association In business with
the breadwinners of the community i'm
which she lives. 1 respect and admire
the girl or woman who earns her daily
bread in preference to a life of lazy de-
pendence.

To Mend Tortoise She'll.

Two broken pieces of tortoise shell can
be fixed together by filing the edges
down with a rasp till each piece has an
edge like a chisel. These two edges are
then made to overlap one another and
after softening in boiling water are held
together in a clamp or wise and heated.
The heating must be very carefully
done so as to avoid warping or other
wise damaging the rest of the article.
BE sure that 1t is tortoise shell. A vast
amount of tortoise shell is in reality
only celluloid or Xylonite. and the ap-
plication of heat to this will distort II
ALL also it is infiammable, not to say ex-
plosive. Imitation tortoise shell can be
cemented with acetone.-London Queen.
