movements are impossible and
there is sure to be strained ex-
preston on the face that is fatal
to beauty.
In fact it is by no means an
exaggeration to say that a wo.
man cannot achieve her full de-
gree of beauty and cannot retain
her Ioveliness long unless she
wears sensible shoes and takes
care Of her feet.
1t is really crime against
beauty to hobble about in shoes
that do not fit. For such shoes

also correctly made to fit the foot.
The manufacturers are making
these sensible, beautiful shoes In
greater numbers than ever before.
Fashion has given them her sane
ton. Most of these shoes are
reasonable in price. Indeed, they
are a real economy, considering
that well-made perfectly -fitting
shoes wear we'll.
Therefore, it is hard ITO find an
excuse for the woman who fails
to- live up to the beauty slogan.
Wear sensible shoes that fit your
feet and are suited to the purpose
for which they are to be worn.
When you buy shoes have your
feet measured and then you can
not make a mistake in the length
and breadth of your shoes.
OF course, for evening wear and
for dress, more latitude may be
allowed as to heels and general
shape because these shoes are not
worn during strenuous hours Of
walking and exercise. When the
foot is at rest less of the body's
well being depends upon footgear.
But even during evening hours, il
you wish to look carefree and
vivacious and rested, be sure to
wear slippers not too. extreme and
be sure they are carefully fitted
to your feet.

and slippers, the next step is to

Lucy and her friends were trying
to get him away from her. Besides
she was sick, and he did not want
her to be distressed.
During the night, Mrs. Groten-
berg had another sharp seizure,
and Philip was alarmed. But in the
morning she seemed considerably
better, and when he came home IN
the evening, she was waiting Tor
him at her seat under the dropping
pepper tree, and had delicious
dinner ready fo- him.
When he had leisurely finished
it, and had stretched out his big
proportions comfortably, his vest
unbuttoned, a cigar between his
teeth, a tall glass Of cold beer Ct
his elbow, he decided that such
comfort was preferable In every
way to pursuing Leila Vale about
the corridors and parlors Of the
Hotel del Monte, pretending an in
terest in her he did not feel.
Yet when he encountered Miss
Vale with his sister q week or so

He had avoided seeing or comnu-
nicating with Lucy. though she
had telephoned, had asked him to

She submitted TO his demonstra
lions OF affection. yet she did
not put her arms about his neck
and kiss him as she had kissed
DoNald. She wondered why she
did not feel like doing that. She
supposed it was because she had
not known Richard as long as
she had known Donald.
Then she tried to Danish all
thought Of Muir from her mind.
He had been haSd and unjust
and she could never, never love
him.
It was not difficult to keep her
thoughts on the man who was
telling her OF his alteration Of
her. To the inexperienced girl
1t was wonderful to be assured
that Richard had fallen in love
with her on the very first day
he, had met her,

only one woman in the world for

scurving IN a smile of pleasure.

admiration Of two men. Then.
when one man piqued her by
what she considered his too an.

eagerly the love protestations of
the man who never admitted that
she had "a fault.
She listened happily, as do all
young girls, to the detailed re-
cital of his first Impressions. of
her-of how beautiful he thought
her, Of what he had felt upon this
and that occasion. And when
the story. was told she would
have been glad to hear i all
over again.
But even q romantic like Rich
ard Rankin finished his tale-for

some Of the practical points OF

FIRE LOSSES A BUSINESS BAR.
OMETER

During times of commercial pros.
perity fire losses are small; on the
other hand, in times of Industrial
depression and failures, they are
proportionately heavy. Fire losses
are caused in many ways; some un-
avoidable and some preventable,
and some intentional. There is,
however, a prima facia case estab-
lished called "the moral hazard"
entering to varying extent in fire
losses. Insurance companies are
aware of this and take this factor
into serious consideration in fixing
their rates. 1t is we'll known
fact that claims for fire losses are
also taken into account in fixing
the credit standing of a business or
individual.
The average insurance rate from
1914 to 1921 dropped from 81 .o8 to
9S cents in spite of the fact that
during the same period prices of all
commodities or business service
rose from 50 to 100 per cent.
Insurance rates could be still fur
ther reduced were it not for this
"moral hazard" and the enormous
fire waste that takes place annually
in the United States through pre-
ventable fires caused by negligence
and thoughtlessness.

He That Planteth a Tree is a
Servant of God.

Servant OF God.
He that Plsnteth tree is servant
of God,
He provideth kindness for many
generations,
And faces that he hath not seen
shall bless him.-Van Dyke.
The quotation is proverb. but not
of Solomon. Josephus relates. how
ever, that during the reign of King
Solomon the valley of Jehosaphat was
planted with cedars of Lebanon, which
never before grew in that valley, and
that the following generation found
these cedars more plentiful than the
native sycamores.
How the planting in Solomon's reign
was effected is not recorded; possibly
an Arbor day was decreed by royal
proclamation. 1t suffices to know that
Solomon, renowned for wisdom, per-
ceived the need for arboriculture and
took effective measures. The ancient
Greeks and Romans were acquainted
with the art of tree culture. Although
they planted no extensive forests. they
knew the use of trees and shrubbery
in landscape decorations; in the
fourteen and the fifteenth centuries
western Europe planted forests, as the
local supply of timber was being ex-
hausted and transportation facilities
were then poor. Within the past
century France especially has excelled
in tree planting, reclaimed barren
swamp land and denuded mountain
slopes. Germany. Austria, Switzer-
land, Sweden, and other countries in
Europe practice forestry to an extent
and to degree of intensiveness not
generally realized in the United States.
Even Japan is further advanced in
forestry than the United States.
The achievements of this country in
forestry since 1905, while remarkable.
have not measured up to our require
ments; we are dragging behind, not
within the National Forests, but within
the private timber lands.
nAooA LAY, ho"cNeI, Is oDSeIFeu
chiefly as a day for arboriculture.
While forestry relates to forests grown
for timber. arboriculture has to do
with the individual tree planting.
mainly for ornamentation. Lawn trees
and street trees are given chief
prominence on Arbor Day.
What does he who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and buds of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants
a tree.-Brunner.
