Size of the Foot.

A we'll proportional foot should be
as long as the ulna, OF chief bone OF the
forcaru-that is, from the small head
OF the bone to be seen at the wrist to
the point OF the elbow should be the
length OF the foot. Where the forearm
is too short the foot will be found
to be also too short; where this is toe
long the loot will be too long Most
people are surprised that the foot
should be as long as the forearm, and
are inclined to dispute the fact till they
prove it by experiment.; but an OK
pertinent will easily show that a straight
line drawn from one point to another
will appear a great deal longer than
the same space filled by line divided
into curves.

one of the best liked of any lady

# Bit of Society Gossip Before Ue
Settle DOWn to Lenten Penitence.

The week began gaily enough
Monday night the big reception at
the Hotel Spokane for Senator and
Mrs. Ankeny, which was a pronounce
ed success. Nearly everybody went
there and those who didn't have to
stay at home with the grippe went
to see Ward and James in Francesca
da Rimini." which was a very beau
tiful performance.
1t is a different version Of Fran
cesca da Rimini' from the one that
the celebrated italian actress, Klea-
nora Duse, has been making such
success of this winter. Buses was
especially written for her by DAN
nuzio. This production is by George
II. Boxer.
The Elks turned out to hear Warde
and James and made an enthusiastic
audience for them. 1 noticed Mr.. and
Mrs. Grimmer in box, and some
woman next to me insisted that he
was Senator Ankeny-because the box
was draped with a flag I suppose.
The Nuzums and Won Klein and wife
Essig seemed to enjoy the play. The
B. l.. Gordons were there. DR.. Dut-
ton and his wife also. Mr.. and Mrs.
Brownlee, who are great theater-
goers. They always see everything
that Is good, but they don't go any
oftener than the Walker Beans who
were there as usual. Milan Bump
