Hosiery Hints.

Frequently when the feet seem
cfamped, the blame is placed on the
defective shoe size; but it will be
found that in many instances the trou-
Bile lies in the wearing of too small a
stocking.
The marking of sizes varies quite a
little on both stockings and shoes. "A
safe rule to follow Is to patronize one
shop when the latter has been found
reliable and the size called for is Meth
er too large nor too small, but is COM.
Portable in every particular.
It is mistake to wear footwear
that is too large, although the criti-
cism is usually against the adoption
of small sizes. So much of the good
appearance and the comfort and happi-
mes of women depends on the nice care
of the feet, that too much attention
cannot be bestowed ON the pedal ex-
tremities.

Smiling Away Appendicitis.

Specialists at Johns Hopkins uni
versity have joined the Keep on Smil-
ing" cult. Worry, and you will get
a pain in the side,' they say. Appen-
dicitis is the medical term for one kind
of pain in the side. These thoughtful
and inquiring doctors, indeed, have
reached the conclusion that mental de-
preston is one of the most frequent
causes of appendicitis, since worry and
faulty mastication usually blend, and
boiling ones food leads directly to dis
order in the appendix. So they rec
ommend smiling and similar light
minded diversions.
The public in general welcomes such
admoDitions. For the public does not
particularly enjoy going to a hospital
to permit surgeon to explore and re-
adjust its interior appurtenances or
fixtures. Almost everyone would prefer
smiling away appendicitis to being
tinkered with and Whitfield by busy
surgeon.
One suspects that there is great
deal of good sense in the Johns Hop
kins doctors free and wholesome ad-
vice, which ought to be well digested
by everyone

Some MYSTERIES OF Turkish
Censorship Are Explained

In all letters from America the
Turkish censor seemed to take the
most personal interest, writes Arthur
Ruhl in Golfers. At the end OF one
letter of mine from New York he
wrote In pencil: please not so long.
Censor
One day had the pleasure of meet
ing him, or at least that part of him
which handled English correspond
ence- an Oxford Turk who could
speak English as well as anybody.
Fancy" said he, "a woman takes a
donkey ride over in Anatolia some
where, and writes her husband sixteen
pages about 1t. Well, now, no one
could read that.' So his young men
read the first page and the last, and
the rest they simply lifted out and
into the waste basket!
This explained it--those curious let
tiers people had been getting with q
start and finish and the rest all gone.
Imagine yourself, for instance, separat-
ed by FIVE thousand miles and con-
tinent covered with war from those
You care about most and then getting
a letter: II feel 1t my duty to
tell you the real truth. -. !"
then a gap and the conclusion: IF
you act at once, there may still be
time. Yours sincerely. - 1t
wasn't that the censor objected to
the middle of the letter, but there
wasn't time to wade through all, and
he merely sent what he could read.

He is an enigma, riddle she would
give much to solve. Sitting by the
hour in utter silence, holding hands,
will in time get upon the nerves of
the most phlegnatic of women.
Such lovers are the kind who do
not think 1t amiss to carry on this
manner of so-called courtship year
in and year out until the girls rela-
tives or friends consider 1t high time

what he intends to do.
Spirited women are more apt than
not to weary of such a companion.
