BEAUTIFYING THEIR FEET.

Young Women to Battle Next Season

Every manicurist nowadays is also a

tnelr toe nails as their finger nails. A
manlcurlst told me all about it the other

The woman who has pretty foot is not

scrutiny when she can do SO without in

that from time to time prescribe what
constitutes propriety according to the
shifting usage of society.
The beach offers superb opportunities
Tor the display OF pedal charms. 1t is not
alone fondness tor salt water that makes
pretty girls go bathing. You may have
notlced that many of them seem more
partial to the sand than to the water when
in bathing costume.

There is nothing immodest in the idea
OF woman showing her feet sans shoes
and stockings. and since it involves the
abandonment OF tight shoes, and conse-
quent freedom from corns and other
evils that tight shoes entail, [ think it IS
something that ought to be encouraged.

A Medical Grievance.

We are used to hear the indignant
moan OF doctors who protest that men OF
wealth disguise themselves to obtain
treatment at the hospitals for nothing.
Not In England only, but in France and
elsewhere, bitterly amusing tales are cur
rent on this theme. II a practical rem
edy could be found, it would have been
adopted long since at any cost; but in
London or Paris hospital doctors can
only keep sharp lookout for signs of
alnuence among their pauper patients
circumstances are more favorable In
Cork, and a very pretty quarrel is raging
there. Ihe medical men attached to the
various benefit clubs assert that many of
the members are we'll able to consult
them privately. There are cases. so it is
alleged, OF men worth 81 200 year who
take advantage of the club to obtain med
lcal attendance for six shiIlings annually,
They demand that the members shall be
cIassed; those with an income under GIOO
TO pay IS I'd; under 9200 los, and above
tnat, apparently, to lose their privilege
altogether. The whole profession at
Cork upholds these very reasonable
terms The clubs resist, and all the med
zeal men have given notice to terminate
their engagement on Decem Der 3lst But
the supporters of the present system are
not daunted. They propose to invite
doctors from outside to fill the vacant
posts-in fact, ''blacklegs." They are
not likely to md any in the medical pro-
iesslon under such attempting circum-
stances. Standard.

TOO MUCH OF A JOKE
SMILES Hands the Parson n Cigar and
Then There Was Trouble


The clerks in the Office were always
on the alert TO play some jokes on Snlf-
lies, the Junior Dook-keeper, and the
straugest part of it was that they always
managed TO catch him unawares.
Ihe other day The clerks loaded a very
temptlng-looklng cigar with an appar-
emily harmless explosive, says the New
ork HerGLd. 1t was gracIously offered
to SnItt1es, who accepted it with profuse
thanks, saying he would smoke it after
supper that evening.
1t so happened That that very evening
Smiles wife, who was very religious
woman, had invited the minister to dim
ner. The minister loved good cigars,
and Snltt1es knowing this, proudly asked
hlm to have cigar, and uuseltishly and
lnnocently handed him the Que which he
had received that afternoon from the
clerks in the office.
SMILES wife was pleased al her hus-
band's generosity to the minister, and
looked on with pleasure as the minister
contentedly lighted the cigar.
Suddenly there was a report the min
lister fairly hOwIed with terror. and the
air was filled with smoke. Sniffies and
his Wlle were surprised and shocked be-
yond expression.
"Heavensw muttered Sniffies, that's
the work OF those d-n clerks again"
Inc minister's face was red with rage
Hall OF his beautiful side whiskers had
been slnged and he looked a fright. lie
gave one terrific glance at Sni1lles. then
took his hat and departed.
Never shall l enter this house again. -
he said with great emotion as he stint the
door.
That night there was war in Suiffles,
house. His wife accused him OF having
Loaded the cigar on purpose in order to
drive the minister away. All his expla-
nations We're in vain: and now SMILES
and his vile have ceased to speak.
The clerks are still wondering whether
Snl1tes smoked that cigar, but he is so
silent about the matter that they cam t
get anything out OF him.

ADJUSTMENTS.

"Vendetta" drew very large audi
night. 1t is Mr.. Higgins best sensational
work in our opinion, and presents him
in an emotional dialect part that is full of
human interest, pathos and tragic action.
We do not think Mr.. Higgins does any,
thing better than the part of Ricardo. 1t
Is work Of very high order. The play
Is a credit to him as the author; the action
by him is still higher credit. Mr. Nc
Curdy doubles in this play, and in each
Fundamentally opposed-he is we'll
nigh faultleSS. His aged convict and his
young and impulsive boy give him splen-
did opportunity to prove his versatility,
and he improves it to the full. Miss
Jackson's Rullia is new for her; she does
1t well, gives it character, strength and
notable individuality. Miss Waldron has
less opportunity than in most other plays
in which she appears, but she left moth
ing wanting. Miss Weidman and Mr..
Bacon had the comedy roles and filled
them well. The play is rich in startling
situations and good scenery and mechan-
ical effects. 1t is well worth seeing. 1t
will be repeated tonight.
At the Congregational Church this
evening Miss Gertie Carley-Auld gives
her second concert since her return from
Paris and her last before her return 10

Ders, the famous Prayer by Campana.
