THE NEW ENGLISH SANDAL.

there is little use of drawing distin-
gushing lines.
About the only difference between
the old sandal and the new is that in
the modern productions buckles are
used instead of knots and the great
toe is incased in leather shield in
place of being separated from the
second toe by a narrow strap. The
sandals now on sale in Chicago for
the first time are made of heavy sole
leather and are formed after the
shape outline of the foot. They are
held in place by three straps. One
passes across the top of the foot at
the base of the toes, the other crosses
the ankle just above the instep,
while the third runs from this last
binding cord to the end of the great
toe, forming a pocket in which the
toe is concealed. The heel support is
made of heavy leather, and when the
straps across the top are buckled the
foot is held firmly in place.
The bottom of the sandal is per-
fectly fiat, and when worn allows all
of the foot to touch the ground. The
sandals are intended principally for
house wear. They are in reality a
'loafing' shoe, but they could be
worn on the street if a woman could
be found with nerve enough to intro
duce the innovation. They are also
expected to be popular with children,
who eschew shoes and stockings in
summer, yet whose feet are so ten
der that they blister when brought
into contact with hot pavements. The
sandal, however, can as well be worn
with stockings, and that is why they
are likely to become popular among
women, who try to be as cool as pos
sible during the summer months.
The modern sandal craze caught
London society last year, and during
the summer the skeleton shoes were
worn by scores of prominent women.
They also were popular in this coun-
try along the sea shore, where pro-
lection for the feet and comfort form
a combination that is rather hard to
meet. They are likely to be quite
generally worn at lake resorts
around Chicago during the coming
season, although the people who
maintain summer homes have not as
yet shown any more interest in them
than to smile when they saw them on
shoe dealers counters.
The old Greek sandalium, after
which the up-to-date manufacturers
novelty is patterned, consisted of
thick sole of wood, cork, or leather,
with a strap carried over the foot in
front of the socket of the great toe,
passed between this and the second
toe, and tied to the other bands
fastening the edge of the sole before
and behind. The back was supported
by strap work which was often neat
" intertwined above the ankles.
Soles of a more simple kind were
bound underneath the foot and tied
together in Il knot or by a clasp.
Soles also were worn which were pro-
vided with a close-itting piece of
leather. at the heal and with a piece
of leather sometimes broad. at the
sides These last were so laced to-
gether by straps round the ankles
that the soIes and fat of the foot re-

dental to the ironworker calling. At
first the regular worllmen numbered
two, but the business developed so
quickly that now there are some half
dozen FORCES at work, with several
skilled mechanics and apprentices,
while the staff also now includes an
artist and a photographer.
The work of this curious factory
soon attracted attention on account
of its excellence and artistic charac-
ter. The king was the first to patron
ize it, by commissioning lamp for the
hall at Sandringham and bracket for
Shembourne church, while recently a
large gate has been manufactured at
ThOrnham for the entrance to the
grounds surrounding his majesty's
Norfolk home.

Mrs. Ames-Lynde does not confne
her energies to the manufacture of
gates and similar work entirely, but

Training a
Husband
By HAROLD Gibson.

ON the gray stone steps that led
~ from one smooth lawn to another
stood Cynthia. The expression on the
face under the large hat, bent down
ward by ribbon tied daintily beneath
the chin, showed rapt attention to the
notes of violin, proceeding from be-
hind the closely cropped hedge.

length, thinking she was not aware of
my presence, and seeking to attract
her notice.

these sweet strains, cousin" she re-
piled, not favoring me with even so
much as a look.
She held out her hand to me, and
touched it lightly with my lips. Then
she ran down the steps and began to
cross the lawn below.
I have heard it said, and by those
who should know, that none moved

the steps, gazing after her, was sud
denly filled with very passion of love
and longing. I would go after her,
throw myself at her feet and beg her
to give me back her love, which but
a day since had thought was mine.
But then she vanished behind the
hedge; and Immediately the music
ceased. I turned away full of anger
and despair, though as yet I failed to
realize how much that which had hap
pened were possible, and how my
dreams of happiness had been shat
tered in an hour.
For on the previous evening there
had been dancing in the great houses
that stood in the midst of the gar
den, and I, as a favored sutton, had
many times claimed the hand of the
Lady Cynthia. 1t is true it had been
granted me, and my friends still had
no reason to believe but that I was
in possession of her heart.
But I knew differently, for, though
her hand was mine, her eyes sought
continually the face of a young strip

At first 1 mistrusted my eyes, refus-
ing to believe such a thing. But a
lovers eyes are quick, and the truth,
hideous though it were, forced itself
upon me.
Then, foolishly, 1 spoke bitter words
to her, and she returned them. I re-
preached her, perhaps assuming more
than my position warranted, for there
was as yet no formal bond between US.
We parted in anger, and all the night
had tossed sleepless. There was q
mystery in it could not fathom. No
words had passed between them, and
love, if it were love, had come swift
ly, with but look to kindle it.
For few minutes 1 paced the lawn,
with head bent and hands clasped be-
hind my back. Then the impulse
seized me to follow Cynthia and play

Kansas as n Coke Center.

Southern Kansas should soon be
a great coke manufacturing dis
trict." said T. Burnett Phillips, of
Philadelphia, a coal mine operator
and coke manufacturer of Pennsyl-
vania, who had just returned from a
trip in the Kansas coal fields. ''The
coal of southern Kansas contains
more sulphur than the coal of Penn
sylvania and West Virginia." con
tinued Mr.. Phillips. However, it
does not contain too much sulphur
to make good coke. The coal is
ground fine and treated by a special
process to make coke. The CONSOLE
dalton of some of the big railroads
has made higher freight rates from
Pennsylvania to Missouri river, and
for that reason the Kansas coke ov-
ems should do a fourishing business.

VINO stoIe the Fundse

When Warden Jewett took charge
of the penitentiary, he found that
some of the old subordinate en-
ployes had been pilfering from the
prisoners fund. The stealings ag-
gregated about $1,000. This fund is
made up of money taken from pris-
oners when they are brought to pris-
ON to serve their terms. Thus, while
the prisoners were serving time for
committing crime, they were being
robbed by some subordinates in the
prison. Ex-Warden Joseph Tomlin-
son, under whose administration the
funds were stolen, paid the shortage
out of his own pocket, but whether
he has been reimbursed by those who
stole it Is not known.
