'tThe young forget their fancies, the
old forget their cares,
When pretty Mistress Marget m
smiling down the stairs"
Nobody who once looked upon Mis-
tress M~arget-pretty Mistress Marget
almost everybody called her-could
help loving her. I, Thomas Dawtry,
a plain and simple squire of the realm,
loved her better than all the world.
But pretty Mistress Marget was not

informed me. AS for me, | had long

only so long as circumstances COM
PEELED me. Whenever fate offered me
the shadow of an opportunity I meant
to steal Mistress Marget and run away
with her. Mistress Marget, as I had
every reason-save spoken words-to
believe, would be by no means unwil-
ling.
The opportunity came when my
sweet lady's father was called away
to fight for his king and country, King
Charles and Bonnie England. l, who
longed to fight for king and country
also, dared the laughter and the jeers
of my comrades to stay behind a little

BEAUTIFUL FEET RARE.
Present-Day Footwear Distorts the Ex-
tremitIes AbomInably.

tremities A~bomInably.
A man who denies that he is pre-
JUDGED, but claims that he is a good
judge Of feminine beauty, declares
that there is scarcely a beautiful foot
to be found among the women Of to-
day. The high heels, the exaggerated
curve at the ball of the foot. the stiff
heel stays and the pointed toes, he de-
clares, have distorted the foot in a
painful and ugly manner. The ankles
are misshapen. In some cases the
bones are enlarged until they bulge
out so that every bone is ~perceptible.
The weight of the body thrown upon
the toes has caused them to spread
out. Crowded into pointed toes, they
stick up in clusters of knotty corns
The foot should be as shapely as the
hand. Footwear should fit as a glove
fits the hand. The perfect foot is
slender, with an arched instep and toes
that lie smoothly and easily. The first
step toward acquiring a pretty foot is
to wear shoes that fit 1t comfortably.
The next is to take exercises that will
render the toes strong and supple. Be-
gin by spreading out the toes to the
utmost extent; then hold four toes still
and attempt to move the remaining
one Every toe should be straighter
and shorter than the next one and the
arch should be shapely and plant. The
feminine foot of today renders a grace
full carriage an impossibility. And all
because Dame Fashion has decreed
that a short, high-heeled, pointed-toe
shoe is the correct thing in dressy
footgear, forgetting that there never
was a human foot built that way.

To Stains.

To remove grass stains soak and rub
the spots in water and cream of tar
tar.
Sprinkle salt on a wine stain and
pour hot water through it until it is
gone.
Fruit stains may usually be re-
moved by pouring boiling water
through the stain.
For mildew, wet the spot with lemon
juice and expose to the sunlight. Or
soak in water with chloride of lime, one
tablespoonful to a gallon.
