THE CARE OF THE FEET
Is AN IMPORTANT DUTY
One Should Have Shoes That Fit and Are Large
Enough, But Not Too Large-Put the
Feet in Salt Water Once Day.

Speaking of pretty feet, this is what a
young woman who possesses a model
foot has to offer upon the subject, says
the Brooklyn Eagle:
'1 always buy my shoes at one place.
where they have my last and know my
foot
81 get shoes that fit my foot / never
try to break In my foot TO hit a shoe.
IF my feet have pecuiiarities. / hu-
NOR them. let them have their own
way.
81 wear high heels because I believe
in them and because / know l must pre-
serve the arch of my foot.
Flat heels make fat feet. Mine are
arched because have taken care of the
arch i would not wear n fat sole for
money, and a great deal OF IT,
II wear shoes big enough. not too big
The big shoe breaks you foot and in
jures its curves. The shoes should
slightly confine the foot; not pinch it,
by any means, but hold IT snugly.
The shoe should be a trine narrower
than the foot and great deal longer.
There is no room for the short shoe In
the wardrobe of today
And the shoe should be good looking
There is something in having an at
tractive shoe You walk better The
walk shows the feeling of the person.
1t should be digni1ed and even proud.
You cannot walk In Il proud manner
II your shoes are not handsome.
II have always been very careful Of
nv feet. / never let them blister, and
/ make 1t a habit 10 wear good shoes

more and Il Is much more comfortable
NV stockings are never bad ones
wear the best at all times AS Tor my
feet. / keep them in good shape, and l
am as careful of them as l am OF my
hands-and more So.
A certain society beauty doctor, whose
speciality is making the feet pretty. has
a set of foot rules which she gives TO
society women, especially those desiring
TO wear short skirts with the feet on
view. The rules are ali of them impera-
tive. as follows:
Walk all you want to. but never
take step after the feet begin 10 hurt
when your feet are tired don't put
old shoes. Put on another pair OF
good shoes. Have your shoes III and

Taking care of a pair or tired feet

LEAVES or FALL STYLES

Brown, which has been so fashion
able all the season. is gaining In favor
for autumn and winter, despite predic-
tfons to the contrary.
No color is more harmonious with
furs and lace. and few. if any, are
more becoming to most compilations.
Furs will be dyed to match costumes

The long tight-f1tted jacket for the
semi-taflored street suit will be the
most general fashion for immediate
use; while three-Quarter length loose
coats OF darker pongees. and wooden
materials, also Of silk, will be used
over dressy gowns.

The days have come when the whole
country blossoms with the goldenrod.
Aside from its beauty. the golden rod
is the nations floral emblem. and
hostesses may combine a love for the
beautiful with a bit of patriotism in
choosing to do special honor to the
fower In entertainment
For an early fall luncheon the golden
rod will form the prettiest kind of
decoration. The whole color scheme, of
course. must be In the deep rich yellow
which characteristics its own coloring
The decoration of the house depends
entirely upon its arrangement, but great
masses of the flower should be used
with the flag of the United States here
and there TO bring out the honor be-
slowed upon IT by the nation. The
hostess should be gowned in yellow,
and her table should be laid in yellow
and white. yellow lining for sheer
table covering would make a pretty
foundation decoration.
The flower, in itself, is too stiff to ar
range in any but bouquet form for a
centerpiece. but wide yellow satin rib
bon can be used at the table with good
effect For the place cards, have the
ordinary white card run through at one
corner with small gilded rod on which
the name is written or printed On the
card have sentiments concerning the
golden rod like the following:

POWER OF THE LEGISLATURE

G. PEAKING of the important part
the Legislature plays in the
government of this State Fl Balti-
more contemporary truthfuly says:
"The Legislature Of Maryland. to I'LL
imtcnts and purposes. is the Stut,. Of
Maryland today. The Governor has no
rights at all corresponding to those of
the President of the United States or
the Mayor of Baltimore Saving only
the privilege OF veto he has NO weapon
for chaStising an unruly Legislature or
paralyzing Il bad one
1t is undoubtedly true. that the gov
eminent of the State rests almost ;hSo-
lutely upon the Scnnte ana House OF
Delegates. In times TuSt. both those
brlies have been influenced and controll-
cd by what is known lis the State
Crowd" Without their sanction or en-
d"rscmcnt no Legislation WAS possible
and by who's. connivance. Il powerful
lobby, known at Annapolis as the third
house, became the dominating power ut
the State Capital.
The fact j.. that delegates to the
regime. were elected largely. if NOT sole
ly. with reference to their Stlb~c1.viency
to the dominating Estate Crowd whose
will became law TO them. and shaped
and controlled all legislation.
The history of these Democratic Leg
islatures absolutely controlled by and
subject to Mr.. German and his State
cotclic. is well known.
With this knowledge, the voters Of
Cecil county. should look carefully to
the merits and qualification of the legis-
lative candidates seeking their suffrage.
The Republicans of Cecil present them
four gentlemen. each of whom can be
relied upon as free from and beyond
any sinister influence at Annapolis DR..
France. Cornelius AbrahamS, Alfred
Cameron and Atwood Montgomery
would constitute a representative dele
CATION which may be implicitly relied
upon as independent and untmmmelled.
They are the political creatures of no
man. or set of men, each in his walk
of life has made a creditable record.
and it may safely be assumed that if
elected to the important positions for
which they have been nominated they
will sincerely and in good faith study
pnt lohor for the hest interests Of thu
people.
