WEAK K-ANkLED WoMAN'S SHOE
Dressy and High Footwear Now Be.
Ing Made In a Variety
Of Styles.

1t is an actual hardship to the wom-
an whose ankles are SO weak that
she cannot wear low shoes or pumps
In hot weather. Besides the dfscom-
fort from heat in our climate one is
conscious of looking heavily shod.
Many are tempted for dress occas-
ions to slip Into dainty pumps, but for
those women who have a wholesome
dread of broken bones what is to be
done?
Fortunately 1t is now possible to
get "dressy" shoes high. To wear with
lingerie frocks there are good looking
shoes in white buckskin or suede,
some of them embroidered or beaded
on the vamp.
High bronze shoes or colored boots
to- match special frocks can also be
had.
For morning or outing use there are
well cut high tan shoes or sporting
looking white canvas and buckskin
with heavy soles. Tennis soles are
also to be found on boots that support
the ankle.

EIopIng In a Basket.

In every direction to arrest the fugi-
tives. but the plans of the lovers had
been carefully laid and before their
whereabouts were discovered Eliza
beth Spencer had became Lady Comp
ton. The rage of the father knew no
bounds and he roundly swore that Sir
William had seen the only sixpence
Of his money he would ever touch.
This determination would very likely
have been adhered to were 1t not for
the appearance on the scene of an
other actor
Queen Elizabeth years before had
met Elizabeth Spencer and had taken
some interest afterward in her af-
fairs Driving through the city one
day the queen saw Elizabeth and
beckoning her to the royal carriage
paid her the compliment of pro
nouncing her the owner of "the sweet.
est face l have seen in my city OF
London" Naturally, she learned OF
the beautiful girls elopement and
later concocted a plan of effecting a
reconciliation between daughter and
father.
A year after the elopement Sir John
was summoned to the presence of the
queen. After expressing her sym
pathy with him over the ingratitude
Of his daughter she asked him to be
come sponsor with her at the baptism
of baby. who was just born to a
couple who had married against the
wishes of the mothers father Hon
ored by the request. which of course
was tantamount to a demand, Sii
John readily consented and also will
ingly acceded to the queens desire
that he permit his own surname to be
used as the Christian name of the
child. Flattered beyond measure by
the queens graciousness. Sir John de
clared that as he had discarded his
own undutiful daughter he would
adopt the infant as heir to his for
tune. He was then told that the child
was his own grandson, the offspring
of his daughter Elizabeth. A recon
ciliation was then effected and years
afterward, when Sir John was gath
cred to his fathers, the son-in-law. Sill
John, or Lord Northampton as he had
then become. erected a magnificent
tomb on which the disobedient daugh

GET PLENTY OF FRESH AIR
importance of ventIIatlng Rooms, Es-
pecIaily Sleeping Chambers, is
Too Often Overlooked.

Nothing is more common than fresh
tair. Nature has provided 1t In abund-
lance for all who will take 1t. There
is no one thing 30 potent to prevent
disease, 80 effective In maintaining
q healthy action OF the whole body.
Bad air spreads disease. Consumption,
pneumonia, bronchitis and catarrh are
bad-air diseases. Bad air. too. Is a
cause of colds.
Sewage flowing into pure water pol
lutes 1t. So the air we exhale from
our lungs pollutes the air in the room.
The impure air from the lungs of any
number Of people in room mixes
with the pure air and makes 1t dan
gerous and unfit for breathing. There
must be a supply of fresh air con-
stantly coming in to take the place
of the foul air, which in ali cases
should be permitted to escape near
the top of the room.
1t is a law of nature that air is
always IN motion, and because this is
true one has only to lower the win
dows little from the top and to
raise them little from the bottom
and the process of ventilation will
go on without our thought or care
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount Of misery and suffering caused
by impure air. If you would escape.
see to It that you get at all time a
plentiful supply of fresh air.

'EL0PED IN 4 BASKET
Romantic Story Of An Old Time
London Beauty.
cIrcumvented Her irate Father In An
Ingenious Manner-Lover, Dis
ouIsed as Baker, Carried Her
Of In q Hamper.

London.-The old saying that love
VIII find way was never better iilus-
trated than in the romance of Eliza
beth Spencer. the most beautiful WON
an In all England In the reign of
Queen Elizabeth. and her devoted
cavalier, Sir William, second Baron
Compton. who afterward became the
nrst Earl of Northampton.
Elizabeth had the double advantage
OF beauty and Of wealth. She was the
only daughter OF Sir John Spencer,
who reached London a penniless boy
from the country during the reign of
King Henry VIII and who became its
wealthiest citizen and in turn sheriff
and lord mayor of the old city of Lon
don Like many another self-made
man Sir John was somewhat of an
idolater-a worshiper OF self. He re-
garded himself. and very likely with
perfect justice, as the equal of many
OF the mobiles OF England and the su-
perior OF some. and when one of these
Sir William. Baron Compton. pre-
sumed to make love to the beautiful
Elizabeth he was shown the door and
told not to return.
And so the lovers planned how to
circumvent the wealthy and pompous
Sir John.
One day handsome young baker
called at Crosby Hall, trundling
barrow upon which rested a capacious
and iat-topped basket. He lugged the
basket into the house easily enough
and soon emerged with It and labcri-
ously carried it to the barrow.
CHANGING to meet Sir John he tipped
his hat to the great man, who,
pleased with this mark OF courtesy,
cheerfully gave him a sixpence. "A
civil young man." said Sir John to
himself. "and his face somehow looks
familiar"
A little later Sir John discovered
that the civil young man" was the
'scapegrace." Sir William, and that
his daughter had eloped in .he basket!

smart-Lookina Bonnet.

Elderly women who prefer bonnets
to hats sometimes find 1t difficult to
find pleasing models. At store l saw
recently some very pretty and smart
looking bonnets. One was of braided
net, black, draped softly over the
crown. and coronet trimmed with a
bunch of dainty white flowers from
which rose black aigrette. The
strings were of good ribbon. Another
was of white Yedda braid. covered
with cobwebby black net. The left
side was trimmed with black silk
roses and lilies of the valley. Black
roses also held the strings at the back.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
ecctsmsn Objected TO Mixture Of Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
versation.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at a dinner Of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by q discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling Of q
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane: otherwise ST.
lence reigned.
This was broken by one Of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exacitude- Said
the Scotsman:
