The Feet of the Girla

New York Tribune.
Since the world was young a foot has al
ways been considered as a sign of dominion.
ITO put ones foot upon it," ITO subdue
all things under his feet ITO walk over
ITO stamp it out ITO trample it under
foot" ETC., are expressions in daily use and
denote supremacy. Is it to be taken as a
sign, therefore, that the twentieth century
is to be under the rule Of gynocracy that
the feminine foot has increased so much
in size of late years? 1t is not so long ago
that she who could boast of a small foot
wore No. as the maximum, while No. l.
and even No. 1872, were not at all uncom-
and No. and No. are nothing unusual
I'm ordering "A number of shoes this winter
for gymnasium class composed of young
girls from fifteen to eighteen" said a So

Embellishments at "Teas."

Philadelphia Times.
For embellishing the table odd effects are
sought. At one of the most imposing of the
debutantes' teas, partridge berries and
moss were used effectively; the moss being
of a delicate grayish-green variety from
which the scarlet berries seemed growing.
The use of a single color or of graduated
shades of one color for china, candle shades
and flowers is a good deal of a hobby and
since a considerable part of the feminine
wardrobe this winter is blood red, it follows
that the same tint rules at the tea table To
this eager pursuit of color fad there are
drawbacks.
''Why, you look like a college of cardi-
nals!' said woman dropping in at a red
tea attended by red-dressed women And
what is the natter" she continued. ad-
dressing a couple Of bosom friends. "Have
you quarreled or have you been out in a
sharp wind, or-oh, see; it's the red lamp
shades. Plain good humor isn't hectic but
if you get too close to a ruby shade-youre
sure you're not feverish?"
Both women possessed good health and
good humor
But the massing of colors can be made to
produce most excellent effects. AT a tea
given few days ago in the room of a col
lege student, the table was Deep toned and
fragrant with carnations In the middle
ruby glass vase held dark red flowers re-
heVed by delicate ferns and maiden hair.
At the corners were punches of pale red
carnations arranged in dishes upon mats
of ferns. Directly over the table hung a one
globe chandelier covered by a red silk shade,
whose full umbrella folds We're calculated to
throw warm glow Of color upon the table
only and not into the faces of guests suffi-
GENTLY young and blooming to dispense with
artificial bushes.
The only table arrangement approximate
ing novelty that / have lately seen was at
luncheon. not at a tea. Deep orange-red
mandarins, pale yellow oranges and bright
yellow lemons were heaped upon yellow silk
with an intermingling of orange leaves
buds and opening flowers. A novel dish
served which has been a feature also at
recent teas, was a salad made from a fruit
resembling in appearance a small yellow to-
matO but in flavor claiming kinship with
the oranges. The ''kumquart'' is a Florida
variety of a Chinese fruit called in that
land of yellow the king-kang.
The tea gown par eXcellence-not the
gown of the reception of the afternoon"
but the neglige tea gowns said this win
ter to be Greek; but, in truth the classic
suggestion is confined for the most part to
the arrangement of plaits on the shoulders
which may or may not be fastened with
buckles in the antique style. For the rest it
is. as always, long fiowing, semi-loose and
more graceful than any other article of a
wOman's wardrobe. The Vatican back is All
but universal and the prettiest robes are
made of soft easily draping stuffs that re-
fuse, under any provocation, to take harsh
or stiff folds

Dyspeptic Fear of Food.

Home Companion.
Of all the emotions fear is the most dead
ly, and whether in the supreme degree
where it turns the hair white, or in the
minor degree, where it invests every apple
with stomach-ache, the disease of food
fear is not to be treated lightly. for it is
both widespread and deep-seated. 1t has
spoiled life's comfort for many, and IN
checked, will spoil it for many more, Intel
hgence surely points to iaccertlng all nat
them in our minds of any adverse reputa-
ton they may have, and then test them,
confidently on their own merits-not once,
but many times. If. possibly, some personal
idiosyncrasy interferes with federation of an
article we should yield it grudgngly only
after determined resistance; for does it not
seem a logical necessity that the stomach.
like all other organs of the body, is weak
ened by inaction and strengthened by prop
er exercise? A personal idiosyncrasy counts
for more than all the dietary arguments in
the world, and we all of us prove the truth
of this every day we live.

To the advice of health board official that
in these days of the prevalence of grip one
should keep warm, dry and clean might be
added further caution against reckless eat
ing. A good attack of indigestion is an ex-
cellent invitation to grip microbes The use
of seasonabIe fruit is recommended too, as
of value in preserving the equilibrium of the
system While on this subject Ii may be
worth while to record that one physician
finds for once commendable the custom
women have of wearing face wells Not -
he explains, that the wells are fine enough
to act as a screen against the microbes but
they have an influence in keeping a woman s
mouth closed. She finds that the moisture of
her lips when her mouth is open is annoying
and acquires a habit of holding her lips
closed. This insuTes nasal breathing and
that in itself is a valuable safeguard" At
last then women have a reason to give the
oculists who have been preaching for sea-
sons against these same wells.

Occupation for Little Fingers.

Harper'S Bazaar
The time for teaching a little girl sewing
by giving her dish towels and sheet seams
to overland is past. A better way has been
found, and she learns happily, not grudg-
ingly and with tears. The needle is no
longer pushed with painful effort through
rough crash and stiff sheeting, but slips
easily through the bits of old linen and mus
lin that are destined to make something
pretty to stock the little needlewoman's doll
wardrobe or bed, or her own small tea table
She is using her imagination as well as her
fingers, and happy indeed she may be. Is
there any comparison, in point of interest
between big dish towel and dainty little
one for play disheS-a small oblong cut from
the whole portion of a big glass towel and
hemmed neatly?
A little girl will like to learn to darn linen
if the worn dinner napkin she is set to work
is afterwards to be nicely washed and
ironed and become one of her own little
table cloths. And could hemming fail to be
alluring when the whole parts ana another
old napkin are cut into squares for small
fingers to make into doll napkins? From
pieces of old handkerchiefs may be cut
squares to be fringed for doylies, useful on
doll tables and toy bureaus. In fitting up
these bureaus with dainty knickknacks, a
little girl will employ many a scrap of lace
and ribbon, and will learn to be skillful with
her needle.

Along with the Tight sleeves.

New York Evening Sun.
In addition to other discomforts engen-
dered by the small sleeves they are likely to
be productive of tight lacing. That. at least,
is what the dressmakers assure US. and they
even so so far as to say that the lacing has
begun There's no getting away from the
fact that all absence of trimming from the
shoulders tends to make them look narrow,
ard that that tends TO make the waist look
broader. Among silly and Inscriptions
women it is but natural that they should at
tempt to rectify this by drawing in their
stays, however abhorrent such a remedy
may appear to all women of good taste and
good sense. 1t is not to be denied. either.
that the dreSSmakerS encourage ught lac
ing. When the patron this fall tried on her
new gowns and found that her increased
width of waist was in exact ratio to her in
creased narrowness of shoulders, she nat
urally complained about it, only to get the
reply: "Oh, you can't expect to look as sim
as you did when big sleeves were in fashion.
The only way to make your waist smaller
now is to wear your clothes tighter, ana
that's what all the ladies are doing this
year. Every woman has gone through the
experience whenever she appears IN ner pew

thin she has suddenly grown, and II takes
more than ordinary elOquence to convince
them that it is all on account of the

heading to the sleeve, thereby making the
shoulder appear broader and the waist more
slender. Very big sleeves were grotesque,
but. like charity they covered a multitude
of sins and saw to it that many a defect of
bodice fit was not advertised. They couldnt
help but be comfortable with such enormous
armholes as they required. and once estab-
lished as generally fashionable they could
not be denounced as individually unbecom-
ing. That small sleeves are unbecoming is
proved by every comment upon their wearer
having become so thin. Their discomfort
needs no comment. And if they are respon-
sble for a revival of tight lacing-why, the
sooner we revive our disregard for Ezekiel

new 1Olk sun.
"One hears good deal about the new
woman" said a Washington woman who has
had long and varied social experience in Eng
land and America, but it seems to me that
the women l meet to-day are very much like
the women 1 knew fifty years ago. There
may be more who are highly educated or
sef-suppOrting, but the well-bred woman
doesn't talk entomology or Greek roots or
shop in society, and 1 can't tell a pretty girl
who knows about bugs from one who doesn't.
If a girls frock is stunning I don't care
whether she earned 1T or her father paid for
IT. the brilliant woman and the attractive
girl IN society are very much what they al
ways were, l fancy. One must get behind
the scenes to recognize the modern woman s
peculiarities. Entomology and salary NAV
affect her private life.

brate conversation. Some were openly, frank

hailed with undisguised joy and relief Now
Things are altogether different in this day
and generation. To be sure, the men often
leave the table with the women, but even
when they don't there is no dull hour for the
women. Women are more interested in each
other than they used to be, or else they are
more interested in themselves. Whichever
1t is, the result is the same-ncreased ami
nation and fluent conversation. When

they seem to have most hilarious time,
and conversation never flags for a moment.
