The Adost Benut,ful Foot.


The most beautiful foot is the slender
one. The stylish girl recognizes this
fact. Her shoes are always large
enough to avoid cramping the foot, and
yet they are snug and wonderfully neat
and delicate. That is the reason why
some girls can dance all night without
rest, while others have to retire early
from a brilliant ball, leaving their
hearts behind-in case they do not
dance and suffer so much with their
feet as to preclude the possibility of
real enjoyment. If girl wears a
proper shoe, when the foot is bare, and
she stands upon 1t in the privacy OF
her bedroom, it will be as pretty and
delicate as baby's. The instep would
be high, the heel delicately formed, Che
skin as white as alabaster. with pos
sibly blue veins showing through. The
general form Of the foot will be slen-
der, the toes tapering parallel, and
separated by about the thickness of a
sheet of paper, and adorned with pink
tinted nails. A girl who has such feet
as these-and there are many who
have them-well may take pride and
pleasure in contemplating them.

Marjorie started in CONSERVATION.
Her fears, then. were right, and IL was
useless to conceal anything from Miss
Hetherington, who was like a witch,
and had eyes and ears everywhere.

claimed, did you see us together"

Marjorie now perceived that all con-

her hostess of the meeting with her
French teacher. She did not think II
expedient, however, to describe with
exactness the Frenchman's conversa-
ton; but even as it was, Miss Hether-

the significance of her own words.

ing. "They would take me for your

Marjorie did not reply, but turned
her face away and began to walk on
rapidly. But the Frenchman kept by
her side.

She was touched by the tone in

him full in the face.

low me any further. See. that is the

erington herself is watching us from

She pointed across the fields toward
a dark belt of woodland, over which
two old-fashioned towers were indeed
visible, about a mile and a half away.

He took her hand, lifted it to his lips.
and kissed it; then, with an air of re-
spectful gallantry, he swept off his hat
and bowed. She could not help sril-

pie sight, and yet so handsome!
She walked on thoughtfully. AT the
next stile she turned and looked back
He was still stationary in the pathway
gazing after her; but the moment she
looked back he kissed his hand.
Marjorie turned again and walked
on. with no little fluttering of the
heart.
When she reached the Castle, an
elderly man-servant led her int the
lobby, a dark and dreary passage hung
with oil paintings and antique maps
and prints; thence into a large apart
ment, divided by an open folding-door
into two portions.
Here he left her to announce her ar
rival 20 his mistress.
Presently the room door opened, and
the mistress of the house appeared.
She was dressed in an old-fashioned
robe of stiff black silk, and wore a cap
like that of widow, over her snow
white hair. She came in leaning on
her crutch, and nodded grimly to her
guest.
"Sit we DOOM" she said, pointing to a
seat, and herself dropping into an arm
chair before the fire. Then, drawing
out a mans gold hunting-watch and
opening it, she continued Twenty
