The Scored Of Pretty Zee.

1t is one of the thorns in the flesh of the
fair young American that she whom the
wise ones pronounce as perfect in her
style as the French woman should be
obliged to acknowledge that her feet are
not 50 dainty, her instep so arched or her
ankle so slender as that persons. Ths
reason is largely, of course, that the
American girl is given to foot enlarging
athletics, which the French woman shuns.
But another factor is the care French
women take in selecting their shoes and
hosiery.
A French woman who aspires to be well
dressed would think of wearing ready
made gowns as of wearing ready made
shoes She recognizes the fact that a
shoe turned out after a general model will
probably not fit a foot made on a par
pointed toes she avoids, saving those an,
gular pieces of footgeaT for wear when
she will not have TO walk. She is careful,
too, to have sensible heels on her walking
boots. for high ones, by throwing the
weight forward on the ball of the feet,
broaden that part. She INDUCES in high
heels and points for indoor wear to her
hearts content, however.
If her feet are by nature broad and
| "pudgy" she wears shoes a size longer
! than is necessary. and thus decreases the
apparent width. Flat, narrow seams she
prefers, because they help to make the
foot incanspicuous. Soft kid she wears
| because of its comfort. All her shoes fit
as snugly over the instep as possible. And
there is never a limpy, hanging button a
down heel or a scratched toe.-New York

ANGLo-sAxoN ENGLISH.
Queer Words Some Language
Cranks Would Have Us Use.

OF all the cranks Says a Canadian
contemporary, the Anglo-saxon crank
is the most entertaining, because he
has an idea that he can revolutionize
the English language by throwing out
a. number of words that everybody
uses, and introducing in their stead
a number of words that nobody knows
anything about.
The Angle-Saxon maniac has a
strong antipathy to all words that are
of Latin or Greek derivation, or indeed,
of any derivation at all except Saxon,
and proposes to throw them. neck and
crop, out of the English language and
substitute English words in their
stead.
One of the tribe has recently pub
lished a little handbook of the proposed
changes, which is the most amusing
tissue of absurdity ever seen.
According to the refermer electric
ity should be fire ghost, superanuated
should be overweary; Democracy
ought to be folkdom; criticism, deem
sterhood, and horizon sky edge. For
telegram he would have us say wire
spell, and for omnibus, folk train. A
row of houses ought to be house twins,
a quadrangle should be fourWinkle
and an appenal& nankndller.
For the word magnificent he would
substitute high deeds, and a perambu-
later should be a. pushwainling. En-
thusiasm should be faith heat, an ep-
idemic man qualm, and any ambassa=
dor Of state spellman.
Carnivorous, according to the new
style, would be fesh-eat-seme; herb
ivorous, grass eat-some; Illuminating
animal, a ehew-cud-sane beast.
Such arrant nonsense as this may
be all right in the schools and col
leges, but q young man who comes
out of college and attempts to work
off his new tangled Anglo-Saxon on his
acquaintance will display more faith
heat than Acknowledgements or, in Eng
lish, more zeal than discretion and will
likely soon hear a good deal of English
that has not been taught in the col
legeS
