kAMPEskA ANo RlcHLAND.

W.T.
While in town the first of the week
we saw a lot of white stockings.
PshaW! Now smile, mister. Why
smile? You too saw them. Why,
how can you help seeing them? We
met one pretty little lady of the
white stockings, niftily dressed, with
just a glimpse Of plump white breast.
Do you know we like to see just a
little peep of that sort of thing if it
be a pretty neck. We say a peep. We
think more than that is improper,
immodest and out of place in New
York, Boston, st. Louis or any other
place, day time or evening, or on any
occasion. We very much dislike to
see more than just the modest, pretty
little peep at any time. Oh! no, we
never especially moved in high So
ciety, but we have been a spectator.
About the neck, lady, you will have
to use your WI Judgment and the
advice of your glass about the little
peep"-if your neck is getting old
or nature has not given you a pretty
neck and throat, better keep rather
covered up-looks better, criti-
cism and nobody the wiser--and you
can dress very becomingly without
the peep" And bear in mind that
some grand girls, some lovely women
dearly loved by all who know them
by lack of natures bestowing or na-
lures taking away do not have the
pretty neck and throat.
And there is another class of girls
and women, sorry to say, who ought
never give one the peep" (shame
to say they do give the peep) that is,
the girl or woman whose soul and
life is not pure and white. And you,
mister man, who enjoys the peep of
such a one, you are no better than
she.
We like to feel that the girl with
lovely neck and throat in view is
white inside too, pure as a lily, a true
lady anywhere, at home, on the street
or elsewhere. Such a one Yields,
constantly, too, an influence, a strong
influence, for good and purity Of the,
which she may never think or know.
: And do you, mister, meet her on
the street with a modest glance, a
clean look, a feeling OF a sort of holy
re~vererce--or n such as a brute
might pessess--it's a test of your
manhood, mister. of your nature and
character, this meeting. Women, you
are perfectly safe in the meeting, the
presence, the association of the first
glass of men-but never the last
class.
But this is not at all what we start
ed out to say. Here it is: We saw
30 many girls and older ome too,
who ought to know better, value their
health and comfort far above any
style (styles are SO often harmful to
comfort, common n and health,
who were wearing shoes with the
hlemedest little, long necked or leg
ged heel. as absurd, and as foolish
and as out of place on any woman
as a silk plug hat and a $4,000 even
ing dress suit would be on a fellow
on a farm hauling manure
For the life of us we can't see why
any woman with brains In these days
OF health propaganda will allow her
self or daughters, If she IS a mother,
to wear a shoe with a heel that
throws the ankle in such an unnatural
position. No wonder a lot of men
think women not fit to vote as long as
they wear such things.
We met several OF these elevated
rear end shoes on Kemp avenue as
we stauntered along, and then met 81
little sweet faced: mother, q lovely
middle aged lady dressed in 9 most
becoming costume mo peep lead
ing & beautiful little girl and In q go
cart pulling a second child. we
glanced at her haels-and behold!
not the crime against nature and sos
sciety we had been meeting. but A nice
broad, neatly shaped heel Of a medium.
low pattern which permitted her tc
walk with ease and comfort.
OH women De America, don't wear
