ROMANCE IN VARIED GUlSE.
Definition OF the Word Is Susceptible
of Wide DfTersi6cntion.

Definition OF the Word Is Susceptible
OF Wide liberalization.
What is romance? Even the collo-
quial use Of the term is varied. When
we say you are romancing' or call
anything romantic as distinguished
from what is real or what is true We
mean one thing, but quite another
when we apply the term romantic to
natural scenery. And IN this applica-
tioa we must distinguish between the
effect upon US Of that which we call
romantic because Of human associa-
tions With certain sights or sounds and
that wiidness of nature which we call
romantic because Of its absolute dis
sociation from anything human.
Keeping out Of mind the use Of the
word in artistic and literary criticism
let US try to find what element Of
reconcilement there is in the diversities
Of colloquial usage.
In all that is generally called ro-
mantle in the cases above mentioned
there is the common element Of
strangeness. We easily revert to what
must have been the original sense Of
the word in its connection with those
medieval notifications Of the Latin
tongue known as the romance Ian
guages. The Saxon or 'Celt would
have found his native tongue sufficient
for all ordinary needs, but If ne
caught the Roman air in any way, by
travel or refinement of taste and habit,
he would, to meet the newly developed
need. borrow the graces Of the Roman
speech-that is, he would romance

THE LARGER FOOT.
See if This Shoe -Salesmnn's Theory
Fits YoCr Case.


Fits YoUr Case.
"The question Of which foot to fit
first is an important one to US" said the
shce salesman. 1T may seem strange to
YOU, but it is rarely that we do not ex-
perience some trouble in fitting one
foot while the other is easily covered.
4 popular belief obtains that the left
foot Of every person is the hardest to
fit, and consequently many shoe clerks
always try a shoe on that foot first. It
is not true, however, according to my
observation, that there is any infexlbie
rule as to which foot to try first. 1t is
true, nevertheless, that in a majority
oe cases if you succeed in fitting the left
foot you will have no trouble with the
right. My practice IS to try both feet
before I pronounce a pair Of shoes a
perfect fit. Then I am sure Of avoiding
any mistake growing out Of peculiar
tiles of foot formation. No two per
sons have feet formed exactly alike,
and the shoe salesman who thinks so
and is governed accordingly will meet
with many complaints.
"For some time pondered over the
problem Of fitting shoes to feet, and es-
pecially as to why the left foot should
be considered the standard by which
to be governed. The only rational the
ory T have ever been able TO evolve IS
a very simple one when you come to
consider it. Nine out Of Ten persons
you meet are right handed, as we say.
About one person in ten, or perhaps the
per cent is even less than that uses his
left hand If you will observe persons
who use the right hand when they are
standing and talking they invariably
rest their weight on the left foot. And,
vice versa, left handed person will
rest his or her weight on the right foot.
The result is that with right handed
persons the left foot is probably frac-
ton larger than the right foot, and the
shoe clerk must inevitably find this to
be a fact sooner or later."-New Or
leans Times-Democrat.
