that there never has been an important
revolutionary movement without a red
haired person intimately concerned, if
not the leader Especially this is so
with regard to religion Helen Forbes

or founders of religions had red hair.
History mentions that Mohammed was
a red haired man. There is no tradition
about the coloring of Moses before he

THE MUCH ABUSED
FOOT OF WOMAN

IF the fashionable girl Of our time
lives to middle age the distorted,
monstrous locking feet of 50 many
old women of today are nothing to what
that girls foot viii be when she has
rounded up fifty years. Chinese women
are now suffering pain and undergoing
surgical operations TO have their stumps
of feet grow enough to let them walk
but just at this time free born Ameri-
can girls are mutilating their pedal ex
tremities and laying up a lifetime Of
torture for themselves merely to fol-
low the high heeled, sharp toed fashion
in shoes
Do you see this picture? It IS from a
photograph DR.. Grace Peckham Murray
had taken to illustrate her book of
beauty for V-omen, the Fountain Of
Youth" She had her subject stand up
on glass with a high heeled shoe upon
one foot and the other naked, but hav-
ing under the back part a peg of wood
the exact height and shape of the heel
upon the other shoe. The photograph
was taken through the glass.
The result is what you sea distor-

The Evening Wraps.

A great many women pay too little
attention to their evening wraps.
A gown may be ever so beautiful, but
if lit is concealed by a raglan or a coat
evidently Intended for day wear the
effect is ruined.
An evening coat need not be expen-
sive. 1t may be made of five yards of
white broadcloth at dollar and d half
a yard and simply trimmed with white
silk braid A box coat model is the
best one to select, as it is always in
style.
White is the best color for an even
ing coat, as it looks well with every
thing and cleans easily.
For summer wear a very coarse pom
gee weave is effective, made full and
trimmed with a collar of lace.
1 am mentioning this because now is
a good time to begin to make one of
these wraps. You will save a good deal
and obtain much prettier material if
you evolve one of these little coats in
your own sewing room.
This is also the time of the year to
begin to make up muslins. The shop
windows are already displaying them,
and it saves much worry during warm
weather if d woman starts now with
her summer wardrobe.

HIGH HEEL PICTURES.

The spike heels of the times of these
rulers were introduced and worn by
women of the court. No lady ever
walked in those da--s. The only mem
bers of the feminine sex that walked
were the peasant women, and peasant
women never wore high heeled shoes.
Since then social distinctions have in
great measure disappeared. Now we
are all ladies-at least we hope we are.
But now ladies work for their living.
They go to shop. store and office every
day. They must stand upon their feet
many hours, they must walk frequently
several miles a day. And why these
modern ladies persist in wearing about
their work shoe such as women who
never walked wore long ago is one of
those mysteries of the feminine sex that
nobody can find out.
In all things there are s. Sc and rea-
son. The high heeIed shoe is pretty for

one of them grabbed it. She was drag

The other woman caught the first ones

his efforts. Again the balloon plunged

PLEASANT FACE, BUT NO FIGURE.
A pretty little story is told in Berlin
of the crown princess.
Her royal highness in reading tbs
morning paper happened to notice the
advertisement of u certain shop for a
nice looking young lady of good figure
to act as a model in the dressnaking
department. II was. she thought. ex-
actly the post for certain protegee OF
hers. and accordingly she soon after
ward applied for the post in person
She entered the shop unattended and
requested to see the proprietor.

because I saw your advertisement, and
I thought
The proprietor laid his hand on her
shoulder and said kindly: MY dear girl,
I'm sorry. but it's no good You haven't
the figure for the place. But you have
a pleasant face, so I'll tell you what I'll
do. Come again in a months time. and
then I'll see if I can find you place as
junior saleswoman.''
The CONSERVATION of the good man in
discovering his visitors identity was
only equaled by the tact and kindness
of the princess. who, before she took
her departure, made him forget his dis
confiture in admiration of her charm
ing manner and evident amiability.
