WOMEN SHOULD TAKE
CARE OF THEIR FEET
Many Sit With Pedal Extremi-
ties in Most Awkward
Positions.

The downtown lunChroOms afford a
field Of observation to the guest
blessed with the seeing eye" 1t is a
pity that women do not Oftener realize,
for one thing, how plainly their feet
show under the small tables to all who
sit at some distance. The average wO-
man sits. all unCOnsciously, with her
feet twisted about the rounds of the
chair, or with one foot resting Clumsily
upon the other. The majority of te-
male feet have an awkward and unat-
tTaCtive appearance from the rear.
There are a few women, Of course,
who, whether from careful forethOught,
or instinctively, cross their feet pref
tily on the floor, and allow them to
remain so quietly during the entire
meal. It doesn't matter how smart
the shoes were at the time Of their
purchase, if they have rundown heels
now or lack polishing, one gets no
credit for What they nee were. Badly
soiled white footwear looms up con
to the eye of the acute OBJ
watching that table a little way
off. 1t al not be pretended that to
sit with ones feet in an awkward posi-
ton is a grave misdemeanor, but the
woman who desires to be as beautiful
and graceful as possible should give a
little thought as to what she is doing
with her pedal eXtTemities in the din
ing room. A little care, and even some
rehearsing before the glass, is well
while.

Hurrah for the Day Out!
From the Atlantic


It is irresistible, this charm of doing

To a Hopping load.

Now softly doth the hopping toad
Skedaddle on his way
Down yonder hot and dusty road
Throughout the summer day.
Anon he sidesteps to the right,
Anon he skips apace:
And now and hen he stops his flight
And swallows with his face.
Prehensile organs he hath not
To any marked degree:
Nor caudal affix hath he got
At his extremity,
A sturdy, stocky little chap,
With gullet four by nine:
The hops he hops at everp lap
Amaze more wits than mine.
His little bowlegs squat awhile,
Then hurtle through the air;
But though you ook for him a mile,
That hop-toad isn't there!

BAGS TO BE SMALLER,

There is every indication that the
handbag will be smaller for the fall
than for several seasons. Women are
tired Of carrying bags as cumbersome
as suitcases wherever they go. Even
the bags made like the dresses show
the same tendency to shrink in size.
All that is needed to fill a bag that goes
with a gown is a handkerchief, a fan
and possibly q bit of needlewOrk, and
there is no use in the valises some
women have been carrying.

SATIN COATS,

Satin coats of every conceivable style

fact that there are many coats of this

satin suit or coat is distinctly popular

The long coats are on the same or
der as those seen during the winter,
being straight and narrow in outline
and drawn across the front to fasten
very low and far to the left.

The Tyranny of Things"

SO much has been said and written
about the the extraordinary pros perity
of every branch OF industry, as we'll as
the farm, that little is left to say. But
with ali these things in mind, and con-
templating the wonderful "modorn
| Improvements" we cannot but wonder
that our people do not realize that they
are becoming slaves to the tyranny Of
"things." A family no soone, fluids
themselves possessed OF n few dollars
more than their needs call for than
+ they at once rush out after those use
less things. They build bigger houses
than they can occupy, simply for show
they 60 in debt for this, and pinch and
scrspe, year after year,to meet the pay
merts, aud Ia addition there must be
further scraping and pinchlng 10 meet
the interest on the borro~ ed money,
the taxes, repairs, insurance ana otLer
maintenance charges, to say nothing
OF other avenues that demand extra
money for useless show, until life be-
comes grind Of the most joy less sort.
The fine house must have fine furnish
ing; fine clothes must go with the
other Emery, and fine entertainment
follows fast. The mans nose lie kept
to the grindstone, and the wife is worn
out caring for useless things. Both
are breaking down under the STRAIN,
simply living to work, instead Of work
ing to live. They are always "going
to- have a good ii ne; but they never
get it; they grow older in body and
poorer in spirit every day. IL only
they would be content with comfort,
and keep out of debt, taking time for
refreshing the spirit by the reading Of
good literature, and cultivatiug the
social side of their nature with simpler
pleasures, mingling with congenial
people for pleasure, rather than for
show, how much happier they might
be. If people would live within their
means thousands of women and girls
could give up working for wages and
devote themselves to better things.
But the spirit OF nulation urges them
on, and new necessities arise every
hour. 1t is claimed that the women of
today are more restless and nerve
rscked than ever before, while men are
breaking down under the strain which
is entirely unnecessary.
