Only channed One Shoe

While an East side matron was bus
lily preparing to go to the theater the
other afternoon, gossipy neighbor
came to the front door. The woman
stopped in the middle of the process
of putting on her best shoes and
talked to the neighbor for some time.
When the neighbor left she looked at
the clock and saw she would have to
hurry. So she hastily finished dress
ing and made dash for the car.
She noticed young man watched
her all the way downtown. She
searched her coat thoroughly for a
stray raveling, but found none.
After attending the theater she
boarded a car and still noticed that
she attracted attention. She followed
one girls eye and saw that it centered
on the bottom of her dress. Looking
to discover the cause she found that
in her haste she had only changed one
of her shoes and on her left she wore
a patent kid shoe, while on the other
there was a gunmetal calf shoe!-In-

DIET FOR THE BRAIN WORKER
Should Be That Nourlshlne &c the
Whole Body, With Special Refer
ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about
the value OF certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories of
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large
ly of phosphorus are the most appro-
pirate diet for brain-workers. But
modern science is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain is that
which nourishes the whole body, with
special reference to the nervous sys-
tenn.
Brain power is largely an expires.

tally. In discussing this point In a
recent treatise. DR.. George M. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served. abundantly nutritious, of which
fresh meat should be prominent con
stituent.
In vacations, or wherever II Is de-
sired to rest the brain. fish may, to a
certain extent, take the place of meat.
He says we should select those arti-
cles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid
pleasant social surroundings.
In great crises that call for unusual
exertion we should rest the stomach,
that for the time the brain may work
the harder, but the deficiency of nu-
triton ought always to be supplied in
the first interval of repose.

own counsel. / recollected the story
Olinto had told me about his wife; of
her illness and her longing to return
to Italy. Yet the dead woman's coun-
tenance must have been healthy
enough in life, although her hands
were rough and hard, showing that
she had been doing manual labor.
Armida had been particularly good
housemaid, a black-haired, black-eyed
Tuscan, quick, clearly and full of a
keen sense of humor. 1t was a great
shock to me to find her lying dead.

was trackless. Yet they had nearly
