objects of art, says the New York
Times, are supposed to tempt thieves
rather than repel them, but a certain
wealthy connoisseur and collector attrib-
utes the repulse of a recent burglar raid
upon his property entirely to the faith
fulness of favorite statue. This was a
life-size figure Of a Japanese woman
which he had brought home on his last
trip to the island empire. 1t is carved
with wonderful skill out of white wood,
then colored with pigments of the requi-
site and varied life tints, provided with
hair teeth, eyebrows, and finally dressed
in the proper robes of a high-born Japa-
nese belle. Thus created and "accoutered,

bay directly opposite Miss Japan mad

to admit the passage of man. Tracks
on the floor inside Nothing had been
touched, however, anywhere, and there
was no evidence to show that the burg
lars had penetrated further than just
within the window, while the tracks re-
ceding across the lawn were those OF a
running man. So far as the most conclu-
sive circumstantial evidence could estab-
fish, the midnight marauder had secured
an entrance, struck a match to get his
bearings, and found himself face to race
with a young woman, apparently ad-
vancing toward him. InnthA uncertain
light her wooden ORIGIN that almost 'de4
fies the test of searching sunlight, could
not have been betrayed, and, thinking
the household was warned he had fed
incontinently.
The seats of the six, as they sat in a
parlor on Madison avenue, says the New
York Sun, formed an uneven crescent.
Five were Fifth-avenue girls; one wasn't.
AS the trim French maid moved from one
to another, slipping off their stylish boots
and silk stockings the gowns OF all SIX
gave that subtle swish, swish, indicative
of silk Innings against silkep underwear,
a sound peculiarly delicious to ears Of the
up-to-date woman. One by one the dam
ty foot coverings were removed from the
six pairs of feet and placed beneath The
chairs of their owners. Then the little
French maid arose from her knees, and,
with a curtesy and a smile that included
the six, said:
Madame win enter shortly" as she
disappears behind the silken portieres.
After a moment the portieres stirred
again, and instantly the eyes of each girl
fastened upon them. Madame, fat, fair
and forty, entered and was greeted by a
silenced palpitating with awe. Six smiles
returned madames smile Of greeting, and
a fsla
rim of the six gowns, from which peeped
the six pairs of uncovered toes
II will take your foot, If you please,
mademoiselle," said madame to the tall,
slender girl at the end of the line. "Ahl
quite a nice foot, 'moiselle," she contin-
ued, as though personally gratifed. 1.-The
instep is high and denotes capriciousness,
but that is well-nigh overbalanced by this
deep line underneath, which means that
you can love very deeply. The heel is
small, almost too small for a shoemak-
ers idea of symmetry, and denotes devo-
ton to any cause undertaken. These fine
lines underneath signify keen sense of
honor and delicacy of perception. These
long toes, which permit the wearing of
pointed shoes, bespeak artistic talent"
"Ahemp' said the next girl as madame
reached for her foot, hope my foot will
prove as interesting"
moiselle," madame replied, turning the
small, slender white foot almost around
Were / a man l should like to marry a
woman with JUST such a foot You are
a sincere friend, a loving sweetheart
and will make a comfortable wife. How
can / tell, you ask? BY the shape and
the lines, my dear You are religious for
you have so little instep. Your great toe
is longer than the others and tells Of
talent. This curve at the ankle denotes
a love of fun, while this little arch Just
beneath shows a taste for luxury. The
downward curve OF the toes denote ami
ability, their length, trustworthiness, and
the cushions underneath bespeak order"
THAT is true madame" chimed the
other girls from Fifth avenue. The owner
OF the pretty foot was favorite, ana
her friends smiled with pleasure at the
good account madame had given Of her
character.
Here is a foot" continued madame.

golden hair and dimples, that / would

be dspleased however, for you cannot
help II any more than I. Go TO your par
ents and your selfish, comfort looking an
cestors. Your foot is unusually pretty to
look at, but people with short toes like
these never do anything to help others
You would not care whether your hus-
band was dead or alive so long as your
little aims and ambitions were gratified.
Never mind what the needs OF others are
around you, the lines of these toes will
always fall on easy places. These arch

and these smooth, round heels, so free OF

The little girl admitted weakly that she
had been called selfish. But but, couldn't

fully like tears near the surface-"couldn't
madame tell her something good?" Surely,
every indication In her feet wasn't bad,
