SHOES IMPORTANT TO
WOULD-BE VENUSES
BY EMILY ILLLNGWORTH

The fourth of six articles, writ
ten especially for The Times by
the famous dancer hailed by pub
lie and critics as the modern-day
Venus and the "Pavlowa of Amer
ica."
DO You Fit Yourself To Your
Shoe or Your Shoe To You?
Take an evening slipper, stand
1t on a piece of paper and trace
around the two parts of the slip
per that touch the paper.
Then place your bare foot on
piece of paper, standing on II
with all your weight or only half,
Have some one trace around it.
Then cut the two patterns out
and place that of the slipper on
the other. You will see that the
great toe, which is the main bal
ance for the whole body, is
pushed out of fits natural posi-
tion when put into slipper OF
the ordinary fashionable shoe.
This distortion of the big toe
causes fallen arches and enlarged
joints, which frequently lead to
serious foot trouble.
But high heels affect the whole
body as we'll as the feet. They
raise the body up and forward
thereby causing the delicate or
gans of the body to droop at an
unnatural angle. All the cords in
the legs are pulled out of place,
and the muscles of the back and
neck are indirectly affected.
Since correct standing is the
fundamental basis of proper ply
steal development, 1t is absurd to
wear illvfitting shoes, which pre-
vent your assuming the right
standing position.
The correct lines of shoe are
a low, broad heel, a straight line
on the inside of the. foot and a
broad. round toe. When the foot
is fortunate enough to be in this
kind of a shoe the body is well
balanced and walking is made
easier.
I have seen girls made i'll by
wearing fashionable" shoes.
1t is not unusual for me to see
among gatherings of women
fashionable shoe faces"--faces
that show temporary or chronic
suffering.
Girls whose work compels
them to stand should never wear
anything except orthopedic shoes.
and they should give good care to
their feet every night before re-
firing.
Placing the feet alternately in
hot and cold water, then giving
them a brisk rub, will stimulate
circulation of blood. Sweet oil
rubbed into the feet at night is a
valuable aid to tired feet.
l recommend these exercises
for the feet for the morning or
evening, or both.

Mr.. Starr had been greatly In
terested In the meetings in Bur-
lington. He attended the services
both afternoon and evening, and
then went to bed at the hotel. He
slept late the next morning. When
he finally appeared the clerk
came at once from behind the
desk to speak to him.
We've just been reading about

specially. Its a pretty neryy

Starr.

Five minutes later Mr.. Starr
and his suit case were speeding
toward Union station, and within
eight minutes he was en- route for
Mount Mark-white in the face
shaky in the knees. but tremen-
dously proud in spirit.
Arriving at the parsonage, he
found two-thirds of the Ladies'
Aid society, the trustees and the
Sunday school superintendent
along with miscellaneous assort-
ment of ordinary members, mixed
up with Presbyterians, Baptists
and a few unclassified outsiders
And Prudence was the center OF

She was telling the "whole

time that morning, but she broke
off when her father hurried in
and flung her arms about him.

Neither the younger girls MOI

Whatever may be the intentions of
the War Department, the enlisted
men at Fort Myer have become thor
oughly convinced that they are soon
to see service on the Mexican border.
A canvass Of a hundred men, taken
by Times reporter. showed that In
every case they are certain OF receiv-
ing ORDERS from the Department of
the East for entrainment to the Mexi-
can line next week.
Although q few are slightly dis
gruntled over the long stay at Camp
Ordway. nearly all the men are hope
full of better times soon, and there
10 a marked atmosphere Of hopeful
ness in camp today. ...

of two months on the border. eighty
eight men answered that they would

cerning the departure of the Third
Regiment for the Southwest.

As a rule, the men have nothing upon

satisfaction over conditions In his regi-

To-day there are only eighteen men
absent. which beats the record
for this summer. This fact shows con-
ditions are improving and we have been
successful In wedding out the mon who
have heretofore given us trouble"
The conditions spoken Of by Colonel
Stephan are due to the number of men
who visit Washington after pay day to
spend their months pay.
The thought Of those we left behind

many mi1itiamen. however, and yester-
day the supply OF money order blanks

to the fact that a large number Of

for the entrainment of the troops for
the Mexican border. There is noticeable
In the mobilization camp near Fort
Myer a feeling of suppressed and nerv-
Gus excitement.
Men and officers alike OF the local citi-
zen soldiery feel that the next forty
eight hours either will see them prepar-
ing to take the long-expected trip to
the border or mustered out Of the
United States service and returning to
their homes.
One fact is worrying some Of the
higher officers of the District militia.
Because the Mexican peace conference

One of the many funny scenes in the Famous Players adoption of Edgar Selwin's celebrated stage success Rolling Stones" shows Dave Fulton and Buck Ryder wrestling with a wine bottle. These two rolling stones" have surreptitiously entered the kit chen of Mrs. Branigan's boarding house and haze discovered the wine bottle on the table. They proceed to have a little war dance of joy over the discovery and of course they shake up the bottle so violently that 1t ex- plodes when they attempt to open it.
 The role of Dave Is played by owen Moore. who is co-starring in the pro duction with pretty Margurite Courtot. IL so happened that this episode was staged at the Famous Players studio on the hottest day of the summer and when Mir Moore was deluged by the contents of the bottle. 1t felt SO cool that Director Del Henderson almost had to resort to blows in order to force him to take off the wet clothes and don dry regalia 90 that the pie ture could be continued.
