side of everything, to run against
all the sharp corners and find
out all the disagreeable things.
Half the ttrne spent in growing

We are to take oar share of the

RAISE OUTER HEEL
 TO HELP FLAT FEET
Physical Culture)

It will be seen that we try to bring the outer border of the foot into more use in weight bearing than the inner border Therefore it will be of advan- tage in endeavoring to overcome the condition of flat foot to have the shoes so constructed as to help in the shift ing of the superintendent weight. The heels may be raised by adding a quar- ter of an inch wedge of sole leather so placed that the base of the wedge will b at the inner side and the edge of the wedge at the outer side. This will make the heel a quarter of an inch higher on the inner side than on the outer side. A wedge is also placed un- der the sole so as to raise that along the inner border but this wedge should be trifle less than the one on the heel. Usually it is sufficient to raise the inner border of the shoe one-quar- ter of an inch, but in pronounced cases one-half an inch may be needed.
 It is advisable in cases of weak feet that the foot never be called upon even for an instant to bear weight except on the outer border Opportunity is thus given for the shortening of the liga- ments which have become stretched. To accomplish this, the foot should at no time be placed upon the ground without having the tilting heel and sole beneath it. Not even half dozen steps, as from the bed to the bathroom. should be taken without slipper: or shoes which have been wedged Wher. these precautions are nGt taken, the heels should not be allowed to bear any weight even for a second; standing and walking must be done on the toes.

ITALY'S NEW WOMEN
 NOW IN UNIVERSITY
(World Outlook)

She has not yet adopted the eX- treme methods by Anglo Saxons. Her war is not so much waged against the trammels that have bound her sex in Italy for centuries and that are still ground her now as it is against the evils of society. This war she has entered upon with an energy that is surprising.
 A quarter of a century ago there were no schools of higher education for women in Italy. Today she studies side by side with men in the gymna- sium, the lyceum and the university A woman doctor or lawyer was un- heard of. There are many in the making now.
 A few years ago I attended the in- ternational congress of women in Rome. The Italian woman" thought I, will be quite behind those delegates who come from America and England from Francey Germany and Russia
 In this l made a mistake. The Ital- ian women took their part, presiding with dignity, discussing all moral questions, all matters dealing with public reforms and with the education of their children, with the liquor habit and vice, in a broad-spirited manner They are working in the prisons among the fallen and disgraced. They are stepping out of the almost mon astic seclusion from former genera tions and are taking their front rank The men acknowledged their right tC think and act for themselves.
 The lyceum club for women in Rome allied with the London lyceum clul and those of other European cities has hundreds of members. Literature philanthropy, reforms, patriotism, art ] and music are among it's sections.

OLD EMBROIDERIES
 COPIED FOR GOWNS
(Harpers BaZaar.)

News from Paris is always full of glamor, but at this time of year is of especi~l interest to the vorld of fash ion. It would seem that exquisite workmanship is the note of the winter, rather than the newness of outline. For as long as France remains in the throes of war there will be no radical change in the silhouette. It has grown narrower and straighter, that is all
 However, Paris has exerted her boundless energy by producing very marvellous embroidery The Renais- sance tapestries have been turned to for inspiration and their motifs copied almost exactly; even the wool and dull silk embroidery yarns are the same faded shades that Marguerite de Val ois threaded back and forth four cen turies ago in her castle at Chenonce- aux. Even the famous silk looms of France are reproducing these old en- broidery designs in their wonderful brocades. Few people want to look pre- tentious in wartime, so doubtless the American woman will follow the ex- ample set by the Parisienne and wear semi-evening frocks when dining at the restaurant or attending the play keeping her elaborate gowns for for maj OlnnerS ana the opera. simplicity may be the keynote of the times, but no one need expect mediocrity at this winters opera, for formal gowns will be very beautiful and quite as sumptu- ous as ever. And there will even be more to them, for sleeves flimsy and otherwise are fashionable again.
 There are two distinct types of the attractive yet simple evening dress one, the plain dress of velvet which is cut high in the back and low in the front, while the other-an exact op- posite-is a soft dress of lace and chiffon with the upper part of the high | bodice made of transparent tulle. One
 of my loveliest frocks of this latter l type is of black tulle and lace over clinging chiffon yellow under rel, to blend with the swide, crushed girdle o1
 red and gold metallic brocade. h.
 variably one wears a hat with these 1 frocks. so it is interesting to welcome | the return of the picture hat of tulle
 for it is here again artistically com
 bined with lace that may be of black silver or gold.

COUNTRY CLUB CHR|STMASDAY
 FUR SOLDIERS
Service Flag with F New Stars upon It Presented to Club; Some Soldier Mem bers Are Present

In honor of the II members of the Country club now in service, the Christmas dansant at the club yester- day took on a military tone that was not only reflected in the appointments but in the nature of the affair as well.
 The club in its holiday attire of Christmas greens and berries made charming setting for the huge tree on which gifts were hung for the men who have joined the colors. Two of Uncle Sam's men were there in person to receive the remembrances--Captain John Rinker Kibbey of Fort McArthur and Sergeant Roy A. Murray.
 Captain Howard $. Reed. secretary of the club and member of the board of directors since it's organization yes- terday received orders to report at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va by January ,, so that he, too, was made a guest of honor. Captain Reed received his commission in the engineer reserve corps some months ago and his de- parture for Virginia will be a matter of few days.
 Among the men in uniform present was Sergeant Robert Baker, who was another sought after guest.
 During the tea hour, Carelton Wood presented the club with a service flag of r stars, Louis H. Chalmers re- spending with brief patriotic talk.
 The men remembered with gifts by the club included Captain kibbey, Cap- tain Power Conway, now in France; Lieutenant Lester Byron, Lieutenant w. A. Horrell Melville Fickas, army field clerk; Sergeant Roy A. Murray, Corporal Alexander Baker, Corporal Joseph T. Melczer, Charles A. Pope, A. H. Matthews, Arthur c. Hahn, R. s. Doris, Avery Corpstein, Stanwood Murphy, H. H. Sylvester, M. P. Brooks and H. l. Borden.
 The entertainment committee planned yesterdays dansant, which was largely attended by smart folk. The hostesses were Mrs. Rupert E. Moore Mrs. C. F. Ainsworth. Mrs. Richard F. Sloan Mrs. Donald Dunbar, Mrs. Syd- ney J. Ross, Mrs. Donald Dunbar, Mrs Phil Lewis and Mrs. Paul Bennett

Aladdin's Lamp at Empress

Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp" is in Phoenix, and opens a four days engagement at the Empress today. It is truly the picture beautiful and proves a worthy companion piece to Jack and the Bean Stalk" which created such a sensation when it was projected in the city recently. The same two youngsters-and there are no more clever child actors in the world today than Virginia Lee Corbin and Francis Carpenter-have the hand ling of the principal roles. A great treat is in store for every child in the city and for every grown up who has not forgotten the golden hours of childhood, when he was enraptured during the recital of the adventures of Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp Seeing the picture is like living over again kid days, and the production is one of those kind that makes the aud fence remark, T wonder how they do it." It combines mystery, romance and thrills. and above all, it is an admirable vehicle for the wonderful talent of these two remarkable children who have grown into national favorites ir a remarkably short time.

Sold Grapejuiee
 For lBoozep Jack
 O'NeiI Is Ma

It's bad enough to pay exorbi. tant prices for liquid Christmas cheer, thinks Jack O'Neill, but when someone charges you boot leg prices and slips you grape juice in it's stead, it is time that he is dealt with severely.
 O'Neil resolved to carry out the chastisement of the person who "gyped" him, and in doing so came under the eye of the law, with the result that he was taken to police headquarters last night to explain.
 He declared that he had met and bargained with man for the purchase of a flask" and that after smacking his lips for some little time in contemplation of the cheering potion he draEk some of it, only to find that it was grape juice. He then went out in quest of the practical joker and de- lvered to him sound thrashing. O'NeiII was released to appear later in court for fighting.

WOMEN OF ENGLAND
 EFFICIENT IN WAR
(New Republic)


 The women intuition mahers are in our English factories by the million, enormously efficient, exquisitely and heartrendingly conscientious. They are also beautiful as one had no conception working class women could be beauti- ful, because they are wei nourished; because they are released from the ef fort at elegance and present their beau ties in the plain frame of uniform; and because it is the ironic truth that ex cept in the T. N. T. worKs and the air plane shops where dope varnish is used the conditions of war work are better for women than the conditions of peace work, since there is a predis- position to efficiency in the engineer ing trades which makes even the most careless employer keep his works cleaner and tidier than laundry or q tailor's wnrkroom.

REDMOND SHOW |S
 BEST YET OFFERED

Something very close to record for ' Christmas matinee was set at the Elks theater yesterday when the house was almost sold out for the Redmond show It was not only banner crowd but the appreciation shown prolonged the show until a rather late hour for a matinee.
 The new bill is nothing if not varied. Anyone who likes light music will be satisfied and this is also true of those who relish clever drama and vaude- vile for Back to Nature" has some thing of all three with the best sus- tained plot of any production yet given. In fact. the plot and action travel so steadily that there are no interpola- tions in the second or third acts, the vaudeville numbers coming in the 0lios between the acts themselves.
 There is no doubt but that the work of Miss Dingwall, Mir Temper and Mir. Redmond in the last two acts is tS best they have done in the dramatic line. Mir. Redmond has his best char acter in that of Napoleon. the lunatic, and it would be hard to improve upon his work, while Miss Dingwall and MT. kemper do some real and effective act ing in their trying roles.

OF PHOENIX HOLDS
 TTS EXERCISES

More members of that branch of at this annual ceremony, attended the annual Christmas Day services of Phoenix Commandery, No. 3, Knights Templar, held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in the Masonic Temple. Not only was there an unusually large at tendance of Sir Knights, but the wives and other members of their families were also present
 It was a most fitting ceremony, based upon participating in a toast to the Most Eminent Grand Master Lee Stuart Smith and response by a past commander. This latter was entirely the product of Past Commander B. T. Gillett and was generally accepted as the most beautiful as well as interest ing ever heard in the Asylum of the Phoenix Commandery.
 The exercise were presided over by Arthur G. Hulett, deputy grand com mander and a past commander of the Phoenix commandery. The toast to the grand master was read by him and was participated in by all those pres ent. The response by Past Commander Gilfett followed.
 Interesting features of the exercises, outside the ritualistic work were short talks by Sir Knight Carlisle, a newer member of the commandery. and by another member who was born within twenty miles of Jerusalem. This lat ter talk was particularly instructive. There were several pleasing musical numbers.
 Just before closing a committee was named by the eminent commander to carry to Sir Knight Charles B. Christy, the condolences of Phoenix Comman dery over the death of little Portia Christy, the five year old daughter of their fellow lodgeman. These condo fences were conveyed in person shortly after adjournment
