Amongst the many peculiar customs
prevalent among the people OF Central
America is that OF parting for one year
after the marriage ceremony has been
solemnized. This custom has prevailed
among the Jarnos from time immemo-
rial. There Is no courtship allowed to
be carried on between the parties prior
to the wedding. When a man selects
q woman he obtains the consent Of the
parents on both sides. and il this is
given they are at once married. The
reason, however. for their not living
together as man and wife for one year
after marriage Is in order to permit OF
the parties visiting and staying with
their respective friends in different
parts OF the country. which is cus-
tomary thing, and occupies the time
specified. In ninety-nine cases out Of
q hundred these marriages turn out
well.

HIGH-HEELED SHOES.
Women Should Enjoy Their Broad
Toed Shoes While
They May.

Since women have been wearing
sensible, broad-toed, flat-heeled boots
most of the chiropodists have found
business slack. But If Dame Rumor
foretells correctly they'll soon be
brushing up their signs and working
overtime to meet demands.
Our British cousins say that women's
feet should look small. American girls
always had their own ideas about this
matter, and crammed their toes into
narrow shoes until they hobbled like
the dainty little almond-eyed ladies' of
China, but, since the golf girl came
and the bicycle girl, too, there has
been a change. Louis ~. shoes are all
right 10 dance in, but they don't
amount to a row of pins when one is
boating or wheeling or fishing or climb
ing hills, and that's what the summer
girl of to-day is doing most of the
time. She doesn't want to be pinched
up or helpless, and enjoys the fresh air
of heaven and the sunshine and nature.
The broad, comfortable shoe was
godsend after years of misery with the
sharp-pointed footgear that kept her
toes twisted together and her instep
raised like fagpole. And now, Just
after salvation has come, must she
oncemore don the painful horrors from
which she has been. but recently un-
chained?
Every woman win declare that she
viii never again be victim of short,
narrow shoes, whatever the fashion
may be. That's all right to say. but
how many will have the courage to
wear one sort of shoe when ell the
rest of beskirted humanity is wearing
some other style? Not many, it is TO
be feared. The physical culture advo-
Gates will be among the minority and
possibly the girls who go in for out
door sports to an unusual extent. But
no matter bow advanced women may
become, or how strong 1t takes
the nerve and energy and courage Of a
julius Caesar or an Alexander to war
against the DEGREES OF fashion-and
Julius Caesarsand Alexanders are rath-
er rare in femininity's ranks these
days. Chicago Times-Herald.

that the real reason for the holding Of
