The ties necessary for the completion
OF the whole road have been cut below

for enough steel rails to lay a narrow

alresdy been secured by the builders.

SMALL FEET AND INTELLECT

7 I is true that small feet are considered
by many mark of aristocracy, but
they certainly do not indicate superiori-
1 ty OF intellect, for many brainy women
OF supreme Intelligence have very large
feet.
George Eliot, for example, and Mmc de
Siaei, the most brilliant woman inteilectu
ally of her day, had such large an ID ungainly
feet that she was made miserable by the
consciousness OF their undue proportions.
Nine. de Stael once ventured to assume the
role OF Greek statue In some tablcau
vivants. and was grievously offended by the
witty Talleyrand's bon mot, that he recog-
nized the impersonator at once by the ..Eied
de stael."
The high French heel is accountable not
only for the distortion of the first Joint of
The great toe, but for the innunerable fem
!nine internal complaints beside which it is
utterly impossible for any woman alive to
walk or dance gracefully in high French
heels
1t Is said that fashionable Frenchwoman
once asked famous artist how to acquire a
graceful carriage, and was told to take off
her high hecled shoes. place them on top of
her head and practice walking until she
could do so without the little shoes showing
the slightest CULVER OF motion.
when you walk he said, with those
shoes perfectly balanced, you will have the
gait of goddess, and for the first time
since French heeled shoes We're invented
they will really have served to help and
not to disfisure a woman."

WOMEN FLY KITES.

n ARREL kites" are the novel iqve9.
10 ton Of Miss Nellie Ross Of Fruit
~ Vale, CAL, says the New York
- World. Three months ago she
first demonstrated their practica-
bility, and since then has proved, as she
claims, that they fly higher than any other
kites ever made on the Pacific coast. A
recent visitor to what Miss Ross calls her
''kitery" saw simply very clean nd neatly
whitewashcd backyard. Against some de-
serted henroosts leaned some queer cloth
and bamboo objects that locked like flat-
tened balloons with the ends knocked out
The largest were five feet high by four
broad and they were OF all colors. The
string used in flying them is about two
miles long.
The young kite flyer, who holds that ev-
cry woman should have hobby md who
thoroughly enjoys hers, makes all her own
kites. Then she flies nine or ten at once,
TO the great edification of-the surrounding
neighborhood and to the delight of the
small boys, who are always willing to help
haul them in. Each kite Is named, and Nc
Kinley and Grover compete with those bear
ing less famous names, to see which can
climb the highest. Barrel kite flying is
said TO he as pretty as it is successful,
and CalifOrnia's champion kitc-flyer wears
her distinction very gracefully.

At first the ruth-tellers were wary, and

they appreciated the privileges OF the situa-

Gets lot uf fresh air ard exercise and
sleep in room which is continually venti-
lated. SUNSHINE is an excellent cosmetic,
and If possible the sleeping room should be
one in which the sun has s.ione all day.
Take n hard scrub every day, preferably
warm Il night and cold in ilhe morning. Do
not be afraid to rub hard. as large pores
and hinckheads are caused by some i'm

bing promotes the action of the skin and in

Front Door End

doorway, an entrance that differs in some
way from that of ones neishbor, is now

City houses and by'those who wish in some
way TO make their brownstone fronts al
ready built less ugly and more Individual
Sometimes these entrances are Persian
in type and copy those OF old or new
cha,eaux, or they may. IL one has wealth
enough, have for q model the doorway Of
some Venetian palace.
