MY LADTS FOOT BOX.
This Latest Toilet Accessory Is Now Con
sidered Indispensable.

The latest addition to the smart
woman's belongings is her foot box.
This, like the perfect manicure case, is
of American contrivance, and is one of
the gifts brides of this season usually
receive from their mothers. To all ap-
pearances the foot box is much like a
large English dispatch box, only made
of leather, and a most elegant affair,
where the brides mother is rich and H.
dulgent. Its stout trunk-shaped frame
on the outside is mounted in polished
yellow pig skin, bearing a silver initial
disk on the lid, silver hinges, locks and
requirements about the corners.
Within the lining is done in a fine
quality of brown French kid, and a
woman not initiated in the revived art
of caring for her feet, would be puzzled
at first to know just what to do with the
amazing array of dainty articles dis
closed to view. Looking to the fine
well being of the foot is a custom re-
Fived from the time of Sandaled Greeks
and Romans.
They rightly required that these eX-
tremities should be not only correct in
shape and without corns or big joints,
but plump, white, with rosy soles,
cleaning nails, and altogether as invit
ing members to touch and show as are
the best-kept hands. Since the rational
round-toed shoes and fiat heels have
come into fashion again the foot is to
get its ancient due of attention, and she
who owns foot box puts its contents to
use once or twice every day.
Inside the lid she finds slipped under
straps an ivory horn, a couple of big
hooks and a little one, to button fragile
evening slippers with, and then the in
terror body of the box is divided up
into series of trays. Everything her

fort. Every morning the feet ought to
be slipped in a basin of warm suds,
dried with crash towel and then, after
the soles have a bit of cold cream or
historine rubbed into them and the
nails manicured, lightly use puff fun
of violet talcum powder. At night very
nearly the same process ought to be re-
peated, and then, If the feet have been
really driven out of shape by too small,
short or pointed shoes, take hint from
the contents of the bottom tray Of the
foot box and put them in corrective
bandages for the hours in bed.
Women who from long use of slippers
and Oxford ties have developed alb
normal ankles use the elastic silk sup
port for reduction. \ brace is provided
to soothe insteps, strained from high
heels, while a doeskin sandal is strapped
on to bring pinched-up toes apart and
throw the crooked joint of the great
toe back into place. This is the most
difficult bandage of all to wear, for a
soft leather strap is passed between the
first and second toes, while the incest
is a pair of lambs wool socks, meant
to be used at night by women who suf-
fer from moist feet. All these treasures
are discovered in the perfected new
foot box, that promises to do as much
for the identifying of the present gen.
eration's pedal extremities as ever the
manicure case does for their hands and

The Sweetest of Charities.

There is no sweeter charity than that
which cares for helpless children, says
the Troy Times. Most gracious of all
is it when the ministration is defense

for a child that is dead, there is a
pathetic tenderness that crowns the

Only One Man Specially Conspicuous
in Politics.
Atlanta Journal
The president el. ct has completed
one of the most diff .ult and delicate
tasks that be will have to perform in
connection with the high office he is
soon to occupy; he has made his ca
met.
There will be in it only one man
who has been especially conspicuous
in politics and legislation-Juhn
Sherman. Next to him Ex-Governor
Long has had most experience in
public affairs. General Alger has
some notoriety as a politician, but
certainly has never been accused OF
being statesman.
Mr.. Gage enjoys a high reputation
as finanCier, but is total stranger
to practical politics. OF Wilson,
NJ, kenna, Gary and McCook, the
country at large knows little. They
are all strong, popular tavorites,
however, in their own states The
coming cabinet, as a whole, has I'M
pressed the country favorably,
though it is not probable that it will
take rank as one of the great cali-
f, nets.
The west has been given a promi-
nence which it never had before in
! the executive council, receiving no
, less than five OF the eight portfolio $;
!, the east gets two and the south ole
Maryland, however, is more properly
middle than a southern state, and
it is not incorrect to say that the
south, as the term is generally under
stood, will be unrepresented in the
: cabinet.
