The foot Of the average adult
presents a painful contrast to this.
The toes are crammed together,
their power OF spreading apart Is
wholly lost. The foot is reduced
to the condition of a shoemaker's

The foot contains twenty-six
small bones Joined by ligaments

tive to one another by the oppos-

The breaking down of the foot Is
due to the interference with these
muscles chiefly through the use Of
Improper shoes. The bones of the

smaller one just back of the toes.
Under the arches are nerves, blood

What S in a Name?
PAULINE.
BY Mildred Marshall.

PAULINE.
Pauline is a musically pleasing
feminine name which is really OF
itself a diminutive and an endear-
ment. 1t means little and has a
quaint origin. in that it is said to
be derived from Paullus or Paulus
the name given to one of the Aemi-
lian gems of Rome, who was small
in stature. In Europe, this straight
way became Paul, a name made i'm
mortal by the splendid saint of that
name.
Paula was honored as the femi-
nine of his name and also as the
name of the friend and correspon-
dent of Saint Jerome, the mother
of Eustochium. Paola is consc-
quently found in Italy and named
the hero of one of the most ex-
quisite romances of history, that of
Paola and Francesca.
Paoline Is the diminutive of Pa
cla, and Paulina and Faolina arc
favorite forms everywhere. Spain
has always retained Paula and Gu
riously enough, the Teutonic ver-
sion is identical with the soft vowel
formation of the Spanish. Pauline
became more popular than any 9TH
er form in France for the sake of
that favorite grandchild whose
Christian name is almost the only
one mentioned in Madame de Sc
vigne's letters. In fact, it Is the
only form commonly recognized in
France, though the sister of Napo-
leon was called Paulette by her
own family. Italy has evolved an
other form from Paola, which IL
calls Paolino and the Slavs change
