CHOOSE SHOES THAT FIT.

Shoes should be the exact size of tho
foot; they should be selected accord
ing to the degree of exercise to be
taken, also the nature of the soil in
which they are to be worn. Too
large a shoe is just as much to be
avoided as too small a one. A large
shoe prevents tho wearer stepping
firmly, while one that is too small
causes pain and corns. Choose a
shoe that just fits the foot.

QUESTION or SLEEVES

Some women settle the rivalry be-
tween the bell and bishop sleeve By
wearing them both at once, thus on
many dresses the wide bell is seen
flowing over the full bishop at the
wrist. The tall slender woman may
indulge in all sorts of liberties in the
sleeve line, but her less fortunate sis

very circumspect and take no liberties

We hear much in these days about
 Macedonia and the Macedonians, but
 investigation through the medium ot the average cyclopedia tells us little
 about either the country or people that is at all up to date. The fact is that, strictly speaking, there is now no Macedonia. The maps show us Bulgaria, Roumelia, Servia, Monte negro and Turkey, but no Macedonia. Turkey is divided into provinces Cor ,"eyalets," as they are called), but there is no Macedonia among them. Speaking, however, in the popular sense, there is Macedonia, and the section of the world so referred to is rather vaguely defined region di- rectly north of Greece and of the Aegean sea. On the north it touches Servia, Bulgaria and Roumelia. This corner of the world is Macedonia to- day because in those remote, TO- mantle times of which we once stu died in our school books under the head of ancient history" it was Macedonia. The country that gave to the world Philip of Macefon and Alexander the Great, and of which Paul had vision in which he heard the call, "Come over into Macedonia
