I lected from the lessons or gospel of the

all, politics, must be entirely excluded.

1t is curious, says the Washington Ga
zette, to see how the bicycling craze has
1 already altered the size of ladies' boots
Year after year doctors have been preach

pressed toes of the French shoe. They
| nave preached, but they ave not been
| listened to; and all sorts of little Hnns
and shufles have got to have n kind Of
vogue, and girls have treated their toes
| as unexpectedly as If they We're their
| waists. And now comes the bicycle and
sets things right. The myth of the very
small boot Is being exploded. Indeed It
was almost inevitable it should. When you
see almost level with your eye a thing you
were accustomed to look at far beneath II

You cannot pedal with foot like the cas-

your life, or, what is more thought of
your appearance And so fashion rules in
where shy icians may not tread. But the
doctors bear no malice. Indeed thew or

the street. He was coming home to his
boarding house early to change his rig
because he was due for a 5-o'clock tea,
and as he turned into the street a delic-

OF one of the private houses opposite and
started toward the park. He hurried a.

spiral stripes. He took a look at the
house out of which she had come. and
wondered if she had just moved in, He
wondered, too, IL she had seen him; IL not
why that special tilt to the skirt and the
precision with which the little heels tapped
Presently she turned around and smiled

little. And this one hurried She GER
tainly slackened her pace and another
smile and a nod rewarded him. He was
wise, though, and did not claim her at
tention yet. 1t is always best, thought he
to go slow with that sort of GIRL they
know the value OF discretion, and a man
spoils everything by rushing. She seemed
TO recognize him as the right sort, how
ever, for now she turned right about, and
leaning lightly on her parasol, which was
closely folded, she said in an adorable CHR
rup and with a dazzling smile, "If you are
going to the park with me, you had bet

The toddler clasped her extended finger
with a fat little hand, and with him Ia tow
she swept on toward the park. The victim
didn't go to the tea. He sent his card and
went TO bed with a mustard plaster on his
chest, and is taking drinks yet when he
thinks OF the duck pond.
