depends entirely upon the force exerted
by the strap pulling the triangular
plates over either ankle in a downward
direction. The plates are of leather
and carry semi-circlllar steel braces,
which are connected by strap passing
underneath the holl0A' Of the foot.
When the ankle starts to turn, the
plate on the side. toward which it bends
draws the bones back into place, and
there Is no upward play to the brace.
The sole of the shoe is also prevented
from fitting in either direction, and as
this movement always takes place
when the ankle turns Il further aid is
thus provided. AS the brace depends
upon no exterior support and is light

LAST WINTERS oVERc0AT.

When the stormy breezes buster
Through the shade trees, lank and bar,
And the tiny frost flakes sparkle
In the chilly morning air,
Then we take an inventory
And DER useful things we gloat;
Naught can wake our tender interest
Like last winters overcoat.
Tenderly we pick the mothballs
From the pockets where they've lain,
And with sponge and brush we labor
10 remove each spot and stain;
Mourning Ger the frequent tokens
OF our hungry friend the moth,
Where he foraged at his leisure
On the sleek imported cloth:
But at length, with some misgiyings,
We pronounce it fit to wear:
Yet we shun our dude companions
And resent their naughty stare.
And we're apt to lose some slumber
And some envy we devote rye
TO the man who need not worry
Ger last winters overcoat.
