Highly Important Part Of Equipment
When a Girl ContempIates
"Roughing It,"

Girls who have had little experience
in outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form of enjoyment. One way in which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind Of shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
found the soft, rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy a tramp; but
they are the last thing to wear for a
long walk, as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves Of the
legs tired out from the lack of the
spring that is given by heels. Walk
ing with a fiat, heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one a feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are
low shoes with thin soles n high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for rough
ing it" are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest ankles need
support in rough walking, and 1t Is
often wet in the woods. The girl who
has once tried the two ways of tramp
ing will again be persuaded to
wear low or thin shoes.

A scheme which a girl Will find a

these bags, and in a camp they are al

The bag is hung up by this string and

enough to slide the dress in easily.
When camping it is best to put ones
travelling dress and hat into these
bags and leave them there, for they
are seldom wanted until one is ready

DR.. Burchard Mas Substituted for
DR.. Thomas ArmitaGe at Clergy
mems Reception and Uttered
the Famous Fatal Words.

Rev. DR.. Thomas Armitage was, in
his lifetime. recognized as the ablest
and most influential Baptist clergy
man in the United States. Although
he was an Englishman by birth, not
coming to the United States until he
was near his majority, nevertheless
there was no native-born American
who ever exceeded him in patriotic
ardor, nor was there any clergyman
who gave service Of greater value to
the Union at the time OF the Civil
war. He was for years the pastor or
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in
New York, commonly known as John
d. Rockefeller's church, although u
ing his pastorate Mr.. Rockefeller a
not a member of the congregation.
DR.. Armitage was an intimate per-
sonal friend of the first American car
dinal, Archbishop McCloskey, and he
was at the time of the Civil war in
very intimate relations with Arch
bishop John Hughes, whom President
Lincoln sent to Europe as a special

vented Henry Clay-from becoming
president was responsible for the &C
cident which brought about my non
appearance as spokesman for the
clergymen at the reception for Mr..
Blaine.
This reception, as you may remem
Der, was a suddenly arranged affair.
1t was the understanding Of those
who planned it that | was to be in
vited to speak before the candidate.
1t SO happened that l was in Phlladel-
phia at the time. attending a great
meeting of Baptists called especially
to commemorate the services of Rev.
DR.. Peddie. Therefore when Stephen
B. Elkins, who had arranged for the
reception, sent the invitation to me to
act as spokesman it did not reach me.
Haste was necessary, so it was deter
mined to call upon Rev. DR.. Burchard,
who was a good man and an earnest
man, but curiously lacking in tact,
when l read the dispatch from
New York to the effect that the
clergymen were to attend the Blaine
reception and that DR.. Burchard was
to speak to them, I was instantly
dominated by the conviction that |

should have made an effort to clear
the atmosphere Immediately, and it
would have been possible for me to
do so because the great leaders of the
Roman Catholic church in the United
States knew of the warm personal re-
lations which existed between Car
dinal McCloskey, Archbishop Hughes
and myself.
Unfortunately, l did not learn
what DR.. Burchard had said until it
was too late to repair the damage.
