FOotxear and Gloves.

Woman is largely judged by her ex-
tremities, by the way she dresses her
feet and hands, and so she should have
care in selecting footgear and gloves,
says New York fashion writer. At no
time are her feet so conspicuous as when
in evening attire, unless she happens to
be member Of the Rainy Day club.
Evening slippers are very smart at pres
ent. Two general styles prevail for house
and full dress wear-the single strap
or the double strap crossed and the
laced low shoes. Black satin slippers
deliberately embroidered in cut Jet are
very swell and make even the clum-
siest foot look slim and dainty. Pos
SCISSORS of feet broader than or Ion
ger than four should. when possible.
stick to black evening slipper, for the
light colors make large feet look larger.
Silver and gold buckles jeweled butter
flies and bugs, gold and silver embroi-
deries, fluffy bows and rosettes all look
too beautiful for anything in the shoe
mans window, but they are intended
for little feet. Women with big feet
can apply philosophy to evening slippers
as well as to everything else in life.
For everything you miss you gain some
thing else, and the gain in this case is
immediate, for it is in dollars and cents.
All of these gimcracks ON slippers make
them just that much more expensive.
The proper thing to wear with ball
gowns and other elaborate frocks is
slipper made from the piece of the gown
worn unless it happens to be striped
or lowered brocade. Then a slipper
made of the prevailing tint should be
worn. Bronze slippers are much used
for house wear again, and they are pref
ty and inexpensive too. What woman
does not remember her childish joy over
her first pair of bronze slippers?

FERRYBoATs IN THE WAR.

A Veterans Recollections Of One He Saw
at Fortress Monroe In 1851.
''1t is curious, said veteran SOL
der, show some incident or ciroum-
stance may impart to a long familiar
object to which we have never given
any special thought significance that
makes it always thereafter an object of
particular interest. The East river fer
ryboats impress me in that way now
whenever I see one, and this was
brought about simply by seeing one of
them out of its accustomed waters amid
strange scenes and put to strange uses.
This was in the fall of 1861, in
Hampton Roads. The regiment that
served in was aboard transport there,
waiting with other troops ahoat there
to go farther south under convoy of a
feet of war vessels. There was a great
number Of vessels there Of all kinds,
steamers and sailing vessels and war
ships and they made an impressive
show, but certainly the most striking Of
any one of them on its first appearance
was an East river ferryboat, the Com
modore Perry. l can see her at this min
ute as she looked then, moving across
the waters of the Roads; she looked SO
utterly strange and curious there and
amid such surroundings. But she went
here and there with the most perfect
confidence, constantly employed in
transporting stores and troops and
making herself quite as much at home
there as she ever had been among the
currents and eddies of the narrow East
river.
"Other ferryboats were taken down
there A soldier friend of mine tells
me that later, in the peninsular cam
paign, there was New York ferryboat
in those waters that was used as a gun
boat, carrying two parrott guns, one at
each end, mounted in the gangways,
where the teams drive in and out. My
own impression is that one or two of
these boats went around Hatteras, into
waters farther south; but, however that
may be, shall never forget the first

AS the bonds of friendship are
strengthened by heavy af1iotion so
does a prolonged sojourn in foreign
places, amid strange scenes, turn the
most common Of everyday sights at
home into luxuries. A magazine tells a

his return from Africa, was busily en-
gagged in writing his his story OF the Ozark
Continent. 7"
He used to spread his reference maps
upon the floor Of his room, and on this

much needed, he spoke to his assistant,
who presently deserted it near the fire.

He started to turn the intruder off,
when the great man interrupted him,
saying:
Never mind; don't disturb the cat.
I'll get along without the chart until
the cat wakes up. If You only knew
how good the sight of that domestic cat
curled up in front of that bright Eng

her away"
The cat slumbered on, and not until
she arose with lazy yawn, scratching
her front nails on the rug as she
stretched, did the famous explorer reach
for his map.

Every one who has sheep knows the

without suspicion of the cause to the
shepherd. This reddish brown creature
is wingless fly and a very greedy blood

when these insects go for shelter to the
lambs. 1t is found mostly where the
animal cannot reach ton its head,
buried in the skin, sucking the blood.
Its skin is tough, and it is not easily
crushed with less than blow of ham
mer. In small focks it is not much of a
job to go through, with a pair of
small scissors to cut the ticks in two,
but where the flock is over a score it
will be necessary to dip the lambs

JOHN KEATS.
A Poets Gentle Life That Was Terminal
ed All Too Soon.

A Poets Gentle Life That Was Terminal
ed All Too Soon.
In the days of Keats. Hampstead and
Highgate were still capable of having
an individuality of their own and Of
teeming with interesting associations.
Part of their celebrity arises from those
associations thus formed. Leigh Hunt,
visiting those scenes before his death,
would point to the wooden seat where
he and Keats or he and Shelley sat
when such poem was recited or to the
path through the fields where Coleridge
took leave Of him and Charles Lamb,
who would stutter some witticism at
parting.
John Keats was born in Moorsfeld,
London, 1895, and at the age of 10 was
left an orphan, when he entered upon a
five years apprenticeship in surgeon
apothecary shop at Edmonton From
his youth he showed passion for music
and poetry and spent all his leisure mo-
ments in porting over books. After read
ing "The Faerie Queene" he would talk
Of nothing but Spenser. He learned
whole passages by heart, which he
would repeat and dwell upon with &C.
stasies of delight. His first poetical com
position, written at the age of II, was
entitled "In Imitation of Spenser. "
From that time it seemed that Keats
lived only to read poetry and to write
it. He luxuriated in the thoughts of
poets, talked about them and read them
to his friends.
Before Keats apprenticeship was
over it was evident that he would not
persevere in becoming surgeon. At 20
he entered hospital as student, but
soon gave it up and found more con-
genial society with Leigh Hunt, Shell
ley, Goodwin, Hayden and others.
Keats signalized his accession to this
literary group by publishing in 1917
small volume of poems Hunt describes
him at this time as being under medium
height, with shoulders very broad for
his size. His face, strongly cut, yet deli
cately mobile, denoted determination
and sensitiveness. His entire expression
was Of eager power, and he plainly
showed his emotions. Wordsworth
alone he seemed to look upon as sub
Unity among contemporary poets.
In 1877 he left London to lead a
quiet, thoughtful and busy life on the
isle of Wight, returning a year later
with four books of his 'Endymion' COM
pleted. In 1890 he was seized with the
fatal malady, the knowledge of which
had been his fearful secret for some
years After few months, during which
he seemed partly to fight with death as
one to whom life was precious and part
ly to long to die as one who had nothing
to live for, he was taken to Italy and
there breathed his last at Rome, Febru-
airy, 1921, at the age of %.
He had wished for 'ten years of po-
etic life, but not half that term had
been allowed him. Crowded into his
short life was much of interest with his
ambitions, his high ideals and his tai
ents, and had he lived the ordinary age
of man many think that he would have
been one of the greatest poets.
