 l gazed at her curiously for a few minutes and wondered about her. Soon we came to the end of the line 'and she walked down the length of the car to shift the position of the coin box. Then I understood.
 For this tall Amazon of a woman was perched on pair of high-heeled pumps and the heels were worn down on each side. Consequently she didn't walk-she .embled like lame steed instead of walking erect like a human being.
 Shoes Spoiled Her Carriage
 Here wasfa a woman who absolutely spoiled het,~ carriage, her figure and the general lovely ensemble which she would otherwise have presented, sim ply by hobbling herself with wrong, ugly shoes. She is by no means typ icaf of women conductors or of work ing women, for women with such ab- surd ideas about footgear are numer- ous in other walks of life.
 How few women realize the tre- mendous importance shoes play, not only in governing their health, but in affecting the impression of beauty which they try to convey!
 Once I heard an old-fashfoned wo. man say that a lady is known by he1 gloves and her shoes. It is only the seeker after cheap attractiveness who -devotes all her thoughts to selecting

THE CARE OF SHOES

Now that leather goods are so cost ly it will repay those who will give a little extra care in the following man. ner to their shoes:
 In the first place always purchase good shoes. The material, even of the soles, should be pliable, to insure long wear; and rubber heels. are indispen- sible to the longevity of the shoe. Never use dressings for brown, tan and russet shoes. The idea that I am about to pass along is original with me, and for three years I have said nothing else. Use any white soap; dampen a flannel cloth in soft water and rub it on the soap till is it pasty with lather; have the shoes well dust ed (alWays use clean, soft brushes br cloths); with the Iathered flannel go over the whole shoe, rubbing the soiled places with a gentle circular motion; now put on a thick, clean father and let them stand for about three-fourths of an hour; then rub over with a clean cloth and polish with a chamois polisher.
 The action of soap upon leather is superior to any dressing I have ever used. For white suedes, buckskins, kids and canvas shoes, us the follow ing dressing: One cupful white soap, one teasuoonful of boraX; add enough boiling water to make a soft, runny !jeIl; then add 1 teaspoonful of am- monia and enough powdered sand soap to make a thin paste, and shake it well, or till it is of a creamy mass.
 Suede shoes should be brushed with a stiff brush before applying the
 paste; with all materials, or feathers,
 use a flannel cloth or a sponge. Ap- ply with the circular motion, and leave the leather well coated till it is
 Ery; then dust off and polish; the suedes should be rubbed free of the paste before they are quite dry, using
 a stiff brush and circular strokesa Black shoes should be lathered with harness soap, using the same process as with the brown letther, after which
 a French dressing may be applied, oI
 an ordinary dressing with a little glycerine added is excellent. Watch
 your shoes live long and look like new.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

To. save laundry work use neat white patterned oil or enamelled cloth for children's cable and paper nap kins. on extra occasions white lace paper doilies.S
 I use fancy! wide-mouthed corrugat- ed olive bottles for hatpins--- always put a little cotton batting or crushed tissue paper in bottoms, to prevent bunting the ends of pins.
 Always put paper covers on bor- rowed books and cut small pictures from magazines for bookmarks. Use the rubber from discarded syr- inges or hot water bottles to stand flower pots and flower vases on, sav- 1 ing window sills and furniture from being marred.
 You will find the government stamped envelopes sold at all post offices cheaper and handler than buy ing envelopes and stamps separately Can be bought in different sizes and shapes. s-.' l When your sheets get thin and worn in center tear open, before they go into holes and sew the two sel- I wage edges together and hem the l sides.
 If you have a handy man" or boy around the house have him put a pol'
 in your clothes closet and use garmen hangers The clothes are kept in bet ter condition. One can get more int a <closet and see at a glance what i wanted without mussing everything.

CONSERVE BOXES,
 BARRELS AND BAGS
Connecticut Defense Council Sends Out Letter Authorizing Movement-Gives Figures on Waste-CalIs Upon Dealers, Producers and Consumers to Help.

A movement to save barrels, boxes, bags and other containers used in the marketing of farm produce has been authorized by the Connecticut State Council of Defense as a conservative measure to help in the winning of the war. Letters have been sent to all O. cal agencies of the State Council in- forming them Qf the vote and request ing appropriate action.
 The councils communication fol- lows:
 "One of the forms of waste in con- nection with marketing of farm prod uce is the destruction of barrels, boxes, bags and other containers used by the producers in marketing sud crops. Under present conditions the prices of containers have increased until this waste is costing the State hundreds of thousands of dollars One center alone estimates that the producers in the i'm mediate neighborhood spent for pack ages last year not less than S1O0,0OO. It is becoming difficult to buy at any price certain containers. Last year many of the market gardeners were greatly inconvenienced in marketing their produce. Conditions are worse 1 this year than last.
 This situation has been brought to the attention of the council by several of the Market Garden Associations 1 throughout the state It has been thor oughly investigated by our Division ot i Commercial Economy, and in accord ance with it's report and after discus sion the council has passed the fol lowing vote:
 VOTED, That the council cal upon all dealers, producers and con sumers of farm produce as a patriotic duty to cooperate in the preservation for reuse of containers, and to thar end recommend that wherever prac tical a specific rebate be allowed fol the return of such containers by pur chasers, and that in particular com munities organized effort be. made tC prevent the destruction and insure tht reuse of containers not so returned
 and that the council direct the war bu
 reaus of the state to take appropriate
 action to carry out the purposes here

an attractive hat or a stunning frock. The woman who is interested in the refinements of dress has as her chief concern the cleanliness of her linen, the neatness of her attire and last but not least, the good taste and com fort of her shoes.
 Shoes and Your Figure.
 You cannot have a good complexion if your shoes pinch. Such shoes will cause redness of the face and the irri- liability that they inflict on the ner- vous system shows in the wrinkled forehead and the worried lines about the mouth.
 You cannot have a good figure if your shoes are wrong. Even if you're a perfect 36', you cannot balance yourself on mis-shapen heels. I can not speak too strongly of the necessity for selecting shoes with the greatest possible care. I believe that every .woman's. wardrobe should contain at least two pairs of shoes, even if it contains only one hat
 =. There should be sensible, low-heel- ed broad-soled shoes for walking or for working if you stand on your 1eSl all udy. Iuere SQOulQ De neel- less slippers or shoes for indoor wear at night, when you want to rest your feet,
 Of course, high-heeled slippers and pumps have their places in the world of fashion and it does no harm to wear them for a few hours in theatres or ballroom But it is ab- solutely folly to attempt to wear such shoes if you expect to remain on your feet all day orse yet is the habit of some women to wear their half worn, cast-off evening slippers to work.
 Aside from the indignity which is thus cast on ones daily labors when one goes to work in a s1ovenly attire, there is a physical injury which may | become serious. You cannot work comfortably in shoes that throw your whole figure out of balance. You injure your figure. your complexion and spoil the attractiveness of your l personality.
