ANSWERS TO BEAUTY QUERIES

Mrs. p: Well, why not be indi-
vidual in shoes as in other dress
items? You probably wouldn't wear a
poke bonnet and a bouffant waistline
because it is not your style. The short
vamp shoes are not enough on any
way TO be chosen for that reason. The

Black. brown and gray are better for
her than white. as a rule. There's no
doubt about it at all. The skirts are
longer-much. Better leave a wide
hem for the day when you will fall into
the parade. We all fall sooner or later.

POPULAR ATTORNEY NOW ON
CRJJTCHES

Attorney j. N. Harman is hob
bling about on crutches since his re-
turn last week from Chicago, where
he underwent an operation at the
hands of DR.. Kellogg Speed, noted
surgeon. The metatarsal bone con-
Meeting with the big toe on his left
foot was removed. A horse stepped
on this foot when Mr.. Harman was
boy. On account of this injury and
the favor shown the injured member
thereafter, the bone did not develop
properly. At the joint it became too
large and impinged the nerves. Treat
ment by various specialists gave no
promise of permanent relief. Mr.. Har-
man now believes that surgical skill
has removed the cause of an anoy-
ing affiiction, and his friends are hop
ing that he will soon be able to kick
his crutches into kindling wood.
Mr.. Harman was cared for at the
Presbyterian hospital and the mo-
notony of hospital life was relieved
by frequent calls and courtesies on
the part of Mr.. and Mrs. James Rut-
ledge, former residents of this city,
who now live at 81 w. Huron street,
