The year 1911 put our kafr corn In

Abolish Freak Shoes.
rom the Philadelphia Press


Retail shoe dealers of New York state
nave done sensible thing in adopting a
resolution asking manufacturers to stand
ardize styles and to stop making freak
shoes By all odds the freakiest shoe
for men which has been put on sale in
recent years was the extreme pattern
offered to the public this year. Why any
designer should heap upon the toe of a
shoe the extremely ugly hump, knob,
top-knot or whatever outlandish name
may best describe 1t, is difficult to COM
prehend. But there 1t is, and not even
a stump speaker would point with pride
to his pedal extremities when so incased
POSSIBLY the designer was afflicted with
bunions and he thought to lessen the
hideOusness of his own feet by distorting
the appearance Of the feet of his fellow
men.
Argument Is advanced by the shoe mer-
chants that the frequent change in styles
OF footwear Is one of the causes of the
advancing prices of shoes. Stock soon
becomes Anticipated and is sacrificed at
loss which requires abnormal profits
upon newer goods to compensate dealers
for sales below cost A few standard
styles would satisfy the demands of the
most exacting Beau Brummel.

Flesh of the Swine.
From lie Cri de Paris.

The visit of the Bey of Tunis to Yer
sailles left with him an unforgotten re-
membrance. He and his party dined at
the Reservoirs. Upon the menu figured a
certain ris de veau (sweetbread of calf,
la Toulousaine, over which the hey
smacked his lips. He asked for a second
portion. Suddenly his prime minister. a
morose old fellow. having put into his
mouth piece of the meat. recognized a
flavor that was scarcely orthodox.
What is in this?" he asked. 1t was
then revealed to him that the sweetbread
was interlarded with bacon.
Interlarded. he exclaimed. raising his
arms In horror and crying to the hey:
my lord. eat no more of it. 1t is the
flesh of the swine"
Thereupon the Mussulman sovereign
disgorged upon his plate what he had In
his mouth. but signified by a look of re-
proach TO his minister that the warning
had come too soon and that he should
have been better pleased to have finished
the dish.
