WHAT SIZE IS WOMAN'S
FOOT TO-DAY?

Another entry nthe race for popu-
lar discussion-this time the shoe
dealers have thrust into the public
forum the subject of the size of
women's feet throughout the country.
Inquiring among shoe dealers of rep
resentative cities shows that the east
is out of the running for first place.
Honors for the smallest average foot
size are divided evenly between Chi
cago. Atlanta and San Francisco, in
which three cities the average size is
4 1-2, the smallest in the country.
Largest in ST. Paul.
New York follows with 1-2 B.
Los Angeles and Washington are a
half size further away from the goal;
and Cleveland, Pittsburg, Philadelphia,
Milwaukee and Portland, Ore, come
in next with an average of IL. The
consolation falls to st. Paul, where
the fact cannot be hidden that the
average size is a full 6.
What may be the result of this foot
census is moot. Chicago. whose citi-
with large feet, may argue that fig
ures of the average foot size of Chi
cago women have been grossly ex-
aggerated in the past.
Others may turn flippant with allu-
sions to the fact that foot size mat
tiers not if the woman in the ques-
ton is the right" one; or that what
counts is the manner in which wom-
an stamps her foot when angry.
Bad Effect on Future.
But sure effect promises to be
that the shoe dealers announcement
of the average size of women's shoes
worn in various cities spells misery for
many women and excess profits of
For now women may
try to squeeze their long suffering
feet into shoes below the average size
in their respective cities.

It's easy to see you haven't been shopping lately" she said. You'll have to spend all, or almost all, of it for modish hat and suit."
 "Oh!" I protested rebelliously. Why, that's a ridiculous price. Sure- ly there must be cheaper things"
 'I Will Obey"
 There are," Lillian replied lacon~ ically. But you aren't going to buy them. Dicky gave you that money for this specific purpose, and I'm going to be at your elbow like grim death until you buy yourself the

 ent with conservative taste-that the

I knew her too well not to heed her. however, and my re- sponse was prompt.

THAT NEW EASTER BONNET.

Easter Sunday is approaching with the passing of every hour, and be- side the new Easter bonnet with which to dazzle the eyes of the Eas
 ter promenaders, the iron decision to go to church at least that one day during the year, and the plans for the holiday, there is still something else to remcmber-the children, who associate Easter with rabbits, gaily painted Easter eggs, Easter candies and all sorts of delightful things.
 The great amount of enjoyment de-
 rived by a child by gifts of this sort, more than compensate the time spent ill buying, or in the home nanufac- ture of Easter presents. The store keepers have remem bered the chill dren too, and special counters have added the Easter wares. One store is selling doWy, fluffy, chickens which have come from Japan, and are said to be real, having been in the hands of the taxidermist. There are adorable imitation chicks, of the soft, loyable, quality which children love, and there are Easter dolls, Easter rabbits, and many new Easter cards for this years display Some of the cards arc quaint.-pick out some with Q, touch of humor, for a child's sense of humor is sometimes more acute than that of a groWn-up. In the florists shops are Easter plants, and teaching the child the care of these, teaches him the love of grow ing things. The painted Easter eggs may be made at home, or home painted cards be sent to the young ster. And what could be more won dcrfuI than the gift of a real rabbit!
