A PLEA FoR THE llrIPLrss.-Of course,
1t is the pre- per thing 70 scofI at tho Chinese
lady who brushes hor feet out OF all human
semblanee by swathing thom in tight-ilttlng
bandages. but American women should re-
member that old adage about glass houses
and throwing stones. Are we bameless In
that dlrcctionl | think not, recalling to
mind several instances that have como under
my notice OF children whose feet have been
tortured and detormed by badly fitting shoes.
The natural results Of such treatment are
crooked toes, corns, bunions and Assesses.
Foolish mothers and careless mothers allow
their children TO wear crumping foot gear,
the former on account OF desire to have the
little peoples feet appear small, and tho
, latter from thoughtless lnattontion. A pair
OF shoes is bought which 1T the feot snugly.
Tho feet grow rapidly and tho shoes soon
become too small. The proper plan is to get
the shoes large enough for the growing feet.
and then they will not have to be cast aside
until they are worn out, and the feet will ro-
tain their normal shape.
Grown girls and womon often suffer from
the same cause, but 1t is through their own
fault, and they get little sympathy.
