English Women's Feet.

The short skirts now in vogue in Lon.
don are making one fact quite evident:
that Englishwomen s feet are larger
than thew were the last time short skirts
were in fashion. A reporter watched a
number of his countrywomen at smart
tea shops and in fashionable thorough
fares and was convinced that this was
the case, so he went to various shoe
stores for confirmation, and there ne
learned the truth, that Englishwomen
are taking far larger sizes in shoes than
in former days. Substantial fives and
skies are required in place OF the twos
and threes which used to be worn. IN
deed, one shoe dealer informed the re-
porter that in the last ten years the
lowest size in women s shoes had risen
from a two and half to fve-that
is. from a 9la-inch shoe to a ten-lnch
shoe. In proportion as sizes nave IN
creased heels have grown higher, TN
now it is not an uncommon slgnt 70 ;. see
a tall Englishwoman adding to her stat
ure by 81 inch heels on which sne tot-
tiers along. The feet Of American women
are not getting larger, say English snoe
dealers. In fact, it is for American
sales that the small sizes are kept az
some of the larger shops.-New YORK

ENGLAND AND HER CEN

Taken at a Set Hour on a

In England a census is taken
every seven years. In the I'm
TIED States the work costs some
SIS, 100000; in England, with a
population of 100000, the
work is done by regular public
Off .als without extra cost.
there the census is taken on a
certain day at a certain hour,
usually Saturday at II p. M,
because most people are then
at home. Printed circulars
have been sent by the police to
every family and to the owners
Of all lodging and ho:els.
These circulars contain blanks
which must be filled. The pol
ice round up passengers on the
streets. Sometimes q cranky
Englishman who, forreasons Of
his own, does not want to figure
in the census, tries to evade the
government by riding around
all night in a cab. Ten chances
to one he will not succeed in
his purpose. Cabs are stopped
as unhesitatingly as are street
cars or pedestrians. The COVER
nment wants to know. The
government will not be denied.
The work is done Simultaneous
