A New Fad.


English women have been reproaehed for
their ugly feet and awkward use of them until
in sheer desperation they have come to con-
slider the subject in all its disagreeable reality
and are turning in every direction for rem
edy which may, at least. result in happy i'm
provement to their daughters. Keeping chill
dren without shoes and stockings in the house
is the present craze. and the theory is that
using the feet in infancy, without anything to
impede their natural motion. will produce
greater elasticity when they are grown, as
vel, as fresh foundations for heath. Whether
this practice will have the effect can hardly
be determined until the little ones reach ma
turity
