FOOTWEAR FOR OUTINGS.

There is very much in the selection
of footwear that people who indulge
in outings do not realize. Thin, fine
shoes are very hard to walk in, and
when one is going about for the most
part on plank walks and then on
ground that may possibly be damp, a
heavy sole is much easier for the feet
and safer as to health, The fashion of
carrying fancy parasols aud wearing
delicate and perishable garments on
such occasions is not at all to be COM
mended. Ia the first place. such
things are inappropriate; IN the sec
ond, they are extravagant, and that,
in the light Of common sense, is not
many removes from sinful. People
who have money to spare can put it to
much better use than to waste it in
the purchase and wearing of things
that are destroyed as soon as they are
exposed to the elements.

PENSION DECISIONS,

Assistant Secretary Reynolds has rendered
three decisions In pension appeal cases. In
the first he holds that while the Comm issioner
OF Pensions is forbidden by law to suspend
payment OF u pension pending proceedings
TO aunul or reduce II, nevertheless, In case
such pension Is annullea, all unpaid pension
apparently accrued Mt the date OF annulment
becomes illegal and must not be paid.
In the second case, the Secretary holds
that the law forbidding the Commissioner to
reduce pensions without 80 days notice does
not apply to cases acted upon before Its pas-
sage.
In the third case II is held that as the act
pensioniug the children OF soldier who are
under 10 years OF ge,expressly provides that
the pension shall begin from the date OF filing
the application for the pension, a claimant
who was over l6 years old when the act was
passed has no claim for pension at all.
