He began his speech by expressing

another sympathetic chord in tn. hearts

Care Of Them.

Buyers should never so in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. II
il is remembered that activity aud
standing enlarge the feet. and at the
latter part of the day they are at their
maximum size, there would not be so
many complaints OF shoes being tight,
which ut the time of fitting seemed
perfectly comfortable. shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better II kept
for some time before using; and it is
wise TO keep several pairs for II week
before wearing them, and Several pairs
to alternate with. Never wear a shoe
too small or that does not fit when you
first putt on, for misery more complete
than a shoe that pinehes does not eN-
list. A shoe should be washed every now
and then with n wet rag and oiled over
night. In this ease n fresh application
of backing restores the ~brilliancy of
The leather. A wet shoe must never
be placed too nea the fire, for 1t will
become hard and stiff. The way to save
a shoe that is wet from an early grave
is to wipe it off and then apply an oil
or cream by means of a soft piece OF
flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes in
bad weather. Ruhbers always spoil n
| new shoe. Patent feathers should never

| be made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by a cN,th or by the palm of
the hand, which is better. IT shoes are

washed once IL month they will be soft
and impervious to water. Those who
suffer from aching feet should occa-
~sionally sponge the insides of their
shoes with n moderately strong soiu-
ton of ammonia. The shoes must be
perfectly dry before they are put on.
The way to clean kid boots which will
not bear backing is TO roll a strip OF
flannel four inches wide and a good
yard long into n wad and sew it tight
ly, Dip it into a saucer filled with n
few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Daub the shoe all over, and, taking
n fresh flannel, rub the shoe until 1t
is dry. BY this means the painful APP
proach of purple and the dreaded white
cracks will be delayed. 4 fine polish
and one that win make the leather last
longer than the ordinary backing does
will be obtained if the following mix
ture is used: Two ounces of ivory
black, three ounces OF molnsses ana one
mint of vinegar. Mix them together.

The average FreEchwoman has long
been held up to Americans as a model
OF household economy. These women
seem gifted with the power of utiliz-
ing small things which other women
throw away. ANY person who can make
over last years gowns and wraps as
long as any wear is left in them can
save d great deal, but the value Of ones
time, if one must take time from re-
muneratiye work, must be counted
against the saving. 1t does not always
nav to make over half-worn goods. 1t
is economical always to buy a durable
cloth for a dress, so it car be made
over. Select a goods that can be turned,
also one of pure wool, that can be
cleaned and dyed, when purchasing a
dress. 1t is poor economy to buy wool
dresses of very delicate color. Mixtures
of silk and wool do not dye or clean
well, because the two materials shrink
un~evenly. If must select a gown
of mixed cotton and wool on account
of the small sum of money laid aside
for the purchase, do not buy a plain
color. but a mixture of color. a salt

and white, will wear three or four times
MS long as a plain black or gray cloth,
which soon looks "seedy" if it is not
pure wool. Delicate pale grays usually
fade. Pink is a color that is seldom
