OR LIVING PICTURES.

One of the schemes to fill in part of
an evening is to have charades or tab
leaux acted without word being
spoken. An unusually attractive Sc
ries is called "Reveries of Bachelor"
The first picture shows man in his
den, before crate fire (if that is pos
sible to arrange), pipe in hand, medi-
tating on the past. Then curtain is
lifted before large frame and young
girl appears. basket of roses on her
arm and a hat tossed back from her
forehead. His First Love" is the
title on the frame. The curtain falls
to rise on the College Girl" then the
"Debutante;" next Young Widow"
claims his attention, and finally the
little First Love" appears in full
bridal gown and the title appears His
Wedding Day"
Living pictures may be adopted
from book titles, song titles, etc. They
offer great possibilities and an entire
evenings entertainment may be evol-
we'd from these hints and prizes award
ed to the one guessing the most sub
jects correctly.

WOMEN ARE WARNED NOT
TO WEAR TIGHT SHOES.

A case full of the latest fashions in
shoes have just been shown me. How
pretty, dainty and cute they are, but
oh! what aching feet many of them
are going to hold We have learned
to admire the natural beauty of the
waist line, but fashions in shoes evil
IDENTIFY have not advanced since the
days of King Louis the Fifteenth, of
France. The average woman still
crowds her foot into as small shoe
as will hold it and insists on shape
quite unlike the lines of the natural
foot.
Strange to say, few women are
aware of how uncomfortable their
shoes are Probably when corsets
pushed up the bust and pinched the
waist to hour-glass form women were
not conscious that they were suffering
they smiled serenely with necks i'm
prisoned In stiff, high collars. Both
these forms of torture are considered
obsolete today, yet we approve of a
form of footgear that pushes any foot
put into it quite out of the natural
lines.
Many women will say and evidently
believe that they are quite comfortable
in high heeled, pointed shoe, the
shape of which is absolutely unlike
that of the bare foot Place the bare
foot on piece of paper and draw its
outline; compare it to the outline of
the fashionable shoe, the one you
think fits you perfectly, and note the
difference. Could you imagine squeez-
ing and so COMPRISING any other part
of your body and not suffering?
Effects of Improper Shoes.
The human foot is most delicate
organism; it is made up of many bones
and muscles, loosely and delicately
attached, that can be easily thrown
out of position. The effect of any NAL
formation of the feet may be felt over
the entire body and may result in a
pain in the hip, the back, or even in
the head. Nervous disorders NAV Of
ten be traced to aching feet, and in
fact so close is the connection be-
tween the feet and the rest of the
body that certain functional disturb
ances are first discovered by some I'M
natural condition in the flesh and
skin of the feet.

Now, who but Polly" would have

way of knowing others troubles and
she also knows just how to handle
them.
There was one young girl. whose

there were three or four others with

with rose colored glass in them; the
place cards had a pink caranation
thrust through them, with funny
anecdote written in pink ink.
Polly" chatted away like a mag
pie; she was fairly bursting with brill
liant sayings. While at the table she
read this little verselet, which she
confessed was only an ad, but so apro-
pos it is given here:
Why do you laugh, young man, when
troubles come,
Instead of sitting round so sour and
glum?
You cannot have all play
And sunshine everyday.
When troubles come, | say, why don't
you laugh?
Why don't you laugh? 1t will ever
help to soothe
The aches and pains. No road in life
is smooth.
There is many an unseen bump
And many hidden stump
Ger which you'll have to jump. Why
don't you laugh?
Why don't you laugh? Don't let your
spirit wilt;
Don't sit and cry because the milk
you've split.
If you would mend it now
Pray let me tell you how
Just milk another COW. Why don't
you laugh?
Why don't you laugh, and make us all
laugh, too,
And keep us mortals all from getting
blue?
A laugh will always win,
If you can't laugh, just grin.
Come on, let's all join in. Why don't
you laugh?

That the farmers are anxious to

q success Is proven by the fact that
many have offered to haul their city
brothers and their families to and
from the picnic on that day. They will
come with %hayracks, and all they ask
as compensation is that those who
wish to go be ready at the city hall at
at 900 O'Clock q. m.
People who have no way to go ex-
sept by the ''hayrack route, should
call Al Nelson over the phone and
arrange for transportation. Those
who first make application will be the
first to ecure room-provided they
are onstime.
That the picnic will be. q success is

Something About Hopes
Water Supply.

The city reservoir at the cor
ner of Hubbard and9Fifth street
has been uncovered and will be
arched over with either brick or
concrete. This is the only one
in the city not already thus sub
stantially enclosed. There are
nine of these reservoirs in vari.
GUS parts of the city, located,
supposedly, where there is most
likely to be a demand for their
contents. Six of them have a
capacity of $50 barrels each; two
of 600 barrels and one of 1000
barrels, a total of 1900 barrels.
This Is some water, and would
go far toward stopping gcont1a-
grafton. But it isn't sufficient,
and the time is very near when
Hope must plan and construct
some more reliable System Of
protection against fire, and no
doubt those Of our city's guardi-
ans, whose particular business it
is to look after such matters are
cognizant of the fact. The .enor-
nous insurance rate for which
we are held up.ought to inspire
early action along this line.
