Sandals for Small Children.

II children wear sandals until they
are three or four years old, they will
have a natural-shaped foot, strong,
ankle muscles and will stand and walk
properly. We are all taught TO point
the toes out when walking. This, how.
ever, is an unnatural position, and
only adds a greater strain on the in
side muscles of ankle and foot, caus-
ing, in many cases, weak ankles and
other foot troubles. Let the toes
point straight in front when standing
or walking, allow the feet to have
plenty of room to grow, select broad,
flat-heeled shoes for your children,
and start them toward manhood on
womanhood with normal feet, strong
ankles, thus lessening the danger of
corns, bunions and all other foot trou-
bles.

NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA
Progression" Does Away With Minor
Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who is looking for a way out
of the common TO entertain some Of
her young friends will find n PRO
gressive dinner party" a jolly affair.
There is nothing better for helping
along new acquaintances, and it also
works wonders in another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too eXclu-
sively with each other. Often the fun
of q small entertainment is spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
each other, neglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always eX.
perience enough to prevent this mis-.
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told TO take certain girl in to dim
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places,
but as the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place of the
next one to the right Cor lefD. This
is repeated after each course, the
change being always in the same di.
rection. The girls do not move, SO
young men have an opportunity. to
talk to each girl.

TRACED BACK TO ARoIIANS

There is a theory which hrds the

Into the fat lands between the

out of the mountains Of Arabia. There
they had worshiped the storm-god,
who dwelt upon the heights among
the clouds; with whom they COM
muned, like Moses, by climbing up and
making their offerings and saying
their prayers upon the summit.
And because there were no noun
