The Question

This. briefly, is the burning question
of the hour: Shall we take seriously
to the eighteenth century revival with
its paniers. fchus and pointed bodies,
or shall we continue to admire flow
ing draperies displaying an obviously
corsetless condition and rather
dowdy and exceedingly expensive sim
plcity?
Simplicity is hardly the word for the
statuesque complexities of drapery
which some of the best people insist
on hanging on their bones to grace
every occasion indoors or out of them.
They talk of nothing but proportion,
line ard harmony, and to practice
what they preach. turn themselves
into living pictures for the benefit OF
the spectator.
All this is thanks to the designs Of
artists who have chosen silks and sat
ins instead of paint and canvas as a
method of expression. Their clientele
shudders at the rigid unpaintability
of the tailormade, and falls into liv-
ing picture scheme on every provoca-
ton.

PROPER CARE OF THE FEET
Time Spent In Bathing, the Use Of
Lotions and Kind Attention
Well Repaid.

Women who spend hours caring for
feet. They are such hard worked
members of the body that they de-
serve better treatment.
Feet are best kept in condition by
shoes that fit. Never economic shoe
leather and do not yield to vanity and
get footgear that is too small.
Frequent bathing keeps the feet
from being tired and swollen. and it
prevents roughness of the skin that
leads to callous spots.

The turtle eggs are also valued as

able food. Gopher calipash is the
most popular dish made from this
small turtle.
Among the visitors to the famous tur-
Ting grounds along the coast of Flor
ida, inquiry Is often made as to why
the name tortoise is SO seldom applied
to the many varieties Of marine chelo-
mans found on the borders OF the
Gulf of Mexico. 1t Is true that tor
toise is the correct name for all these
various species-both the land and the
marine species-as the name is de-
rived from various French and Latin
words meaning twisted. crooked or
contorted, describing the crookedness
of the curious feet and head protrud-
ing from the tortoise shell. How the
tortoise of early days became known
by the name of turtle. is explained by
the fact that certain species Of sea
turtles show such great anection for
their mates. that the name of turtle
(from turtle-dove celebrated for the
constancy of its affection) came to
be applied to them. Later the name
turtle was applied to many species OF
the. marine tortoises. with turkey
frequently used for the species found
in the West Indies.
Green Turtle the Favorite.
Among the private turtle ponds own
ed and operated by progressive Flor
ida farmers who possess many acres
of submerged land bordering famous
turtle streams. many interesting fea-
lures await the study of the northern
! tourist. The green turtle is the IA
vorite, not only because Of its fame
in regard to green turtle SOUP" but
also for the delicacy OF its flesh for
various articles of diet. The tortoise
shell of commercial value is also most
highly priced when secured from the
green turtle, with its delicate color
ings. Both the upper shell-the cara
pace, or carapax: and the lower shell
the platron, are utilized for articles
and ornaments of commercial value.
The most common method of prepar-
ing the shells for use Is to soften
them by means of boiling They are
then formed into various shapes. or
are flattened by being passed through
a press.
The Florida native entertains the
visitor with many Interesting legends
and traditions concerning the numer
GUS turtles commonly known In the
early days as Chelonias. This name.
applied to various river and sea tor
toises, was derived. it's said, from
the beautiful nymph Chelonia of
NEUROLOGICAL fame. According to the
legend, she alone of all the nymphs.
was not invited to the bridal of Zeus
and Hera, because she had amused
herself at the cost of the immortal

with this vengeance. She made Mer

metamorphosing her into a tortoise,
condemned her to carry IL ON her back

the ancients called the tortoise Chel-
