Russian Prima Donna Would
Have Women Go Barefoot.
Woman Is Greatly Hampered In Her
Physical development by Many
Unnecessary Articles Of
Clothing She Wears.

Boston.-Lydia Lipkowska, the Rus
sian songbird of the Boston opera
house has amplified her declaration
that stockings as an article of con-
stant wear should be relegated to the
scrap heap. The fair prima donna de-
clares woman is greatly hampered in
her physical development by the many
unnecessary articles of clothing she
is caned upon to use in her toilette.
Relaxation is known to be the
great cure-all for many human ills"
she says, but woman has still to learn
that her body and her muscles need
relaxation If she herself is to be physi-
cally fit.
81 do not know how you look upon
1t in America, but We in Russia are
rather more outspoken in such mat
ters. and the discussion of woman's
apparel is not considered an exclusive
matter for star chamber sessions.
Now stockings are necessity when
one is out walking, or visiting. or on
the stuge, but worn constantly through
the day they are to my mind a source
of evil. Give the legs a. chance!
Don't hem them in as If they were
prisoners that are to be punished. Let
the blooC circulate freely through the
veins! Put the stocking in the same
class with the corset-a necessity that
the sooner rid of the better for the
wearer.
When at home | confess that most
of the time am stockingless. | have
high boots for the winter. trimmed
with fur. that offer real comfort and
which do not exact the penalty the
stockings do.

WAR ON STOCKINGS

Talk ABOUT ease and pleasure!
Women whose legs are encased in
stockings the whole day long know
not what real ease is. In the summer

"Oh, | do not mean when visitors
are around. That would be somewhat
shocking. But, as much as one posi-
bly, can without breaking any of the
conventions. a woman should go about
stockingless.
Just imagine a woman wearing her
gloves constantly! If mankind insists
that bare feet do not occupy the same
plane as bare hands, good and well,
but in the quietude and solitude of
one's own boudoir a woman wearing
stockings simply infiicts a punishment
upon herself. and the pity of 1t is that
the punishment may be wholly unde-
served.
Il do not pose as a physical culture
expert, but common sense would teach
every woman that stockings may be
looked upon as an article of wear that,
constantly used. may become source
of harm
Wouen, generally, wear TOO many
clothes. Some Russian writer once
said that the average woman may be
liEened to huge volume with skirts
instead of leaves. Is not that SO in
many cases? Why do women wear

BUILT UP GREAT BUSINESS
Pany a Monument to German
Thrift and Industry.

That the key to real business success is
often based on n sound principle rather
than money, is best illustrated by the re-
production of the following biographical
sketch OF Frederick Mayer, founder of the
+. Mayer Boot & Shoe Company, repro
dnced from an issue of the German
American National Alliance:
Frederick Mayer, founder of the fac
tories at Milwaukee and Seattle now bear
ing his name, came to this country from
1851, and immediatel. proceeded to hIilwau-
kee, Wisconsin, where he entered the EN-
ploy of X. Suhm as a journeyman shoe
maker.
The spirit that prompted him to seek
his fortune in the new world was soon
responsible for another change, and in 1852,
a year later, he embarked in business on
his own accord, making boots and shoes to
order as only a German apprenticed arti-
san knows how. Subsequently stock of
goods ,was carried and retail business con-
Quoted until 1880, when the manufacture of
shoes was engaged in at wholesale to the
trade
In 1890 the business was well established.
the foundation firmly laid and the policy
well determined. From that time ON the
growth was more rapid The capacity of
the present Mayer factories at Milwaukee
and Seattle is 1900 pair per day, giving en-
ployment to an army of people, paying an
nually over. six hundred thousand dollars in
wages. and employing sixty-iive salesmen
who travel "a states in the interest of
Mayer shoes.
Frederick Mayer died on March l6. 1893,
after building up large and successful
business. He is succeeded by his sons,
George p. Mayer, Fred J. Mayer and Adam
j. Mayer, who. by rigidly maintaining the
policy of the founder, have succeeded in
bringing the business up to its present
magnitude, where it stands as n monument
of German thrift and industry.
