IN contrast to the marvellous struc-

or course, the very nature of the ma

baked she baked. and when she boiled

There are many baked dinners in

BY way of further definition, Mr.

Long Shoes With Broad

The continued wearing OF high-hc

actually shorter. and may also cause

in persons who must stand great ueaI;
who are very heavy; who. for any rea

In cases of fallen arch the shape OF

There Is one weak place in the
structure OF the foot where two bones

Straw Hats

women bristled and looked pugnacious
or slumped- dejectedly, registering de-
spair, according to their natures.
The bolt was certainly very purple
deep, pansy purple-and there was no
way of escaping its effect on the dingy
interior of the car. II was shiny, too,
and It very sheen caught the attention.

The owner must have known she
was creating a sensation-what woman
would not after such a triumph 2-for
she sat with conscious pride, leaning
on the windowsill in a negligent atti-
tude worthy OF an imported limousine,
to say the least. It takes composure,
surely, to carry or such victory.
The atmosphere popped with inspira-
