LITTLE FEET.

LITTLE rEEEs
Perhaps we don't think quite so
much about the necessity OF feet
being small in order to be beauti-
full as We used to. We are more
willing to concede, as Du Maurier
did of Trilby's perfect feet, that
they are neither large nor small
Artists have never seemed to re-
quire minute feet OF their models,
but fashion has almost always Sc
lected them and there seems to be
a unanimity of opinion that they
are distinctly more coquettish m
a woman and appeal more to the
opposite sex than those that arc
of normal size, much less those
above it.
More than once a woman who
was otherwise ill-favored by ma
ture has saved herself from being
considered quite ugly because of
beautiful feet. Camargo, the cele-
brated dancer who created such a
furore in Paris in her day as it is
hard for US to believe any profess
sional dancer ever could, was beau
tiful only because of her we'll
formed, small feet. In fact. she
was spoken of as "a real monster"
One contemporary said of her: "She
Is neither tall, nor pretty. nor we'll
formed, but she has a foot that Is
one Of the wonders OF the eigh-
teenth century," And be 1t added,
this same foot made the everlast-
ing fame and fortune of the Paris
ian shoe maker who made Camar-
go's shoes.
1t is always interesting to get at
the root of any such admiration of
the abnormal as this fancy for ex-
cessively small feet really is and
undoubtedly 1t is partly due to the
fact that throughout the ages the
women of the leisured classes have
had smaller feet than have the
peasant or other hard working
classes, whose feet became en-
larged through much toll. Then,
too, it is natural for women to
have smaller feet than men and it
follows that the woman with ex-
tremely small feet appears-ano
perhaps is-more feminine than the
woman with large feet.
The inordinate admiration for
small feet that has prevailed
among the Chinese and has result
ed in the practice of binding feet
of girls from habyhood. is un-
doubtedly based on the fact that Il
is an unfailing mark of aristocracy,
since obviously only a girl,who was
sure of a life of aristocratic leis-
ure could thus be mutilated.
However, these distorted Chinese
feet have nothing in common with
the small feet admired by: Occi-
dentals, save their diminutiveness
The Duchess De Berri. member of
the royal Bourbon family in the last
days of the old regime in France,
combined extremely small feet with
feet perfectly shaped-and II is
this type that still meets with our
admiration.

OUR LOVED AND LOST.

1t is the custom to speak OF our
dead as those whom we have lost.
People will tell you with broken
voices of friends whom they have
lost through death. A stricken
faced woman will go suddenly
white as she speaks of the husband
she lost on the battlefield in France
or through some dreadful disease.
A mother will mourn the babe she
lost On whose grave the Grass has
been green for thirty years.
But We make no greater mistake
than when We think of the dead as
the lost. 1t is life. not death, that
robs us Of our beloved. Death seals
them to us forever and forever, be-
yond all possibility of loss.
There are no friends closer to US
than our dead friends. We may
see their faces. no more. but our
souls are in constant communion
with them, and they are the friends
whose love and loyalty We never
question.
Does some piece of good fortune
Jul ouI
is il only John and Mary were alive
how they would rejoice in our sue
cess. We see how their eyes would
shine with joy in our joy. We hear
their hearty congratulations that
have in them no spice of malice or
envy, as those OF our living friends
so often have.
Does misfortune lay our heads in
the dust? "Ah," we cry, "if only
John and Mary were here to sorrow
with Us in our grief, to bird up our
wounds in the healing ointment of
their sympathy! We should not
weep alone if only death had spared
the friends on whom we could count
without fail"
Do We need help? We call. the
roll of our living friends with doubt.
It is to the memory of the dead that
we turn with certainty. We should
not have asked of John in vain.
Mary would not have withheld the
helping hand. We should not even
have had to ask, them for assist
ance. for their love would have di-
vined our want.
Nothing can come between us and
our dead friends. Their hearts are
Knit to ours with a bond that
stretches from time to eternity, and
that nothing can break.
The friends whom we have lost
are these from whom We are sep
arated by indifference, by treachery,
py self-seeking, or greed, or some
unworthy act that has killed our
love for them and made them far
more dead to us than If they were
buried in the grave.
The friend, whom we have lost is
the one who poisoned our little mo-
ment Of triumph by some petty
jealousy. The friend whom we have
lost is the one who callously passed
US by when our hearts were wrung
with grief. or who turned his back
upon US when we cried to him for
help in our need.
The friend whom we have lost is
the one who forgot old times, and
old ties, and old favors when he
made money or achieved some place
OF power, for the man or woman
who moves from Poverty Flat to
Easy Street Is often farther away
from us than the distance between
the two worlds. .,
The friends whom we lose are
those who show the yellow streak
under the stress of life: who turn
traitor; who prove dishonest, and
who shatter our ideals of them.
Those whom We have once loved
and honored and can no longer love
and honor. we have. indeed. lost.
though they still be living, but the
noble dead we never lose. They are
