And wooden heels are commonly made
TO order, for they are required of many
sizes and of many shapes. with the
fashions always changing.
The coverings are cut out by hand,
though they are knife cut, many at

or glued to each heel by hand. Then
there IA glued into the groove Of the

a piece of split leather OF precisely the

there is nailed to the bottom Of the
heel q thickness OF leather like layer

Including summer jewellers having

by two great highway bridges, one at

Italian Prospects Were Roseate.
Everything was looking rosy for
Italy. The work of reconstruction was
proceeding apace. and the King, who
bad shown himself an unselish hero
throughout the great war, with all
that true modesty that one always
looks for and finds in real heroes, had
just given a new illustration of his
self-sacrifcipg patriotism and devo-
ton to the welfare of his people by
making a gift of no less than eighteen
of his palaces and estates TO the ma
ton for the benefit of those orphaned,
widowed and crippled by the conflict
and through the REIMBURSEMENT of half
of his civil list to the treasury in order
to relieve the burdens on the tax
payers.
All OF a sudden, like bolt from the
clear sky, the entire situation is once
more compromised through the we'll
nigh insane coup of Annunzio In forci-
bly, selling Fiume, driving out the
allied troops and representatives from
the city, and, worst of all, by provoke
ing a mutiny in the Italian army. Had
AnnunEio entertained any real expec-
tation OF securing lasting possess sion
OF Fiume through his mad venture he
might have had some sort of an ex-
cuse on the ground Of misguided pa
triotism. But there IL nothing in his
past career to indicate that he was
prompted by any such motive of serv-

are of nature to show that his In
