WARNS AGAINST HIGH HEELS
Authority Points Out Danger Of Fash
lon Which Just Now Has Strong
Hold In Femininity.

An eminent authority Of the medical
profession has again urged upon his
brother physicians the Importance of
impressing upon the public the need
of properly caring for the feet, not
only SO far as having shoes construct
ed correctly, but also in urging every
one to take a proper amount of foot
gymnastics. High heels" says the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION in quoting Ritschl, ARE par
ticularly dangerous and lead to in
Vulnerable bodily ills"
The strength and well being OF the
entire body depend in large meas
ure on the condition of the feet, ant
their development in children shoult
be watched with special care to aver
injurious influences.
High heels, Doctor Ritschl declares
affect injuriously not only the foo
itself, but throw the whole weight
bearing mechanism more or less out
gear. BY extending a moderately higl
heel backward many muscular trot
bles are automatically cured.

surnrise Dish for Diners.

In one of Balzac's novels there Is an
incident in which a Partisan hostess
gives delight in an elderly dinner guest
nv always having an extra dish, by
vay of su.lri Q. for him Something
of the same sort was provided by the
hostess of a luncheon party at a
broadway III el the other day through
the agency OF the head waiter and the
chef
"Canape la Russo" the dish was
called. and in spite of gastronomic
traditions it was the piece de resist
ance of the meal. The canape was
shaped like a pyramid and was com
posed of such variety of things that
it is not easy to remember them all
The base of the pyramid rested on
plaoue covered with the grated yolks
of hard-boiled eggs, bordered with the
hearts of endive. The first layer round
the base was composed of FLEETS o.
Russian herring, set in dainty strips O
red pepper rinds. The next row above
| consisted of medallions of caviar'
| framed in strips OF green peppers
| Next was a row of slices Of hard boile'
eggs surrounded by capers, this finish
ing the base. The shaft of the pyra
mid was composed of first fine rip
tomato stuffed with celery mayor
naise; next an alligator pear, then
whole hard-boiled egg placed uprigh
surmounted by a heart of lettuce
These were all held in place by Ion
