If your feet are uncomfortable In
warm weather it may be because of
the shoes you are wearing. Many
people who wouldn't think of wearing
their Winter coats in Summer are
careless enough to wear their heavy
shoes in warm weather They thus
not only cause themselves discomfort,
but subject their heavy shoes TO un-
seaSonabie wear that often ruins them.
Many women are addicted to patent
leather under any and all conditions.
If your feet perspire very freely pat
ent leather shoes are a poor buy at
any time of the year. In Summer
very few people can wear patent
leather AT all Patent leather is
leather that has been heavily var
nished. and II is without pores for
ventilation. The heat and perspira-
ton of your foot cause the leather to
expand in Summer and the varnish,
being inelastic, naturally cracks. Then
blisters begin To raise where the
leather has been ridged. French calf
is another heavy leather that was
never meant for warm weather.
A kidskin pump is one of the cool
est leather shoes you can wear for
warm day 1t is a soft, pliable shoe
and easy on the tenderest foot. Calf
skin is a better leather for the woman
who does any real amount of walking.
1t is more durable and wont scum as
easily as kidskin.
Canvas shoes have always been
popular Summer shoes. Canvas is
cool and it can be kept clean and at
tractive at very little expense. Can
vas will not hold its shape. however,
and canvas won't stand for very rough
usage. 1t has another virtue, though
it dries quickly. 4 cheap canvas
shoe will shrink while it's drying, and
often become too small for further
wear Lately the 'Deauville sandal
has come into favor. 1t is a sandal
shaped shoe made with a strap. The
Deauville is made of straw or wicker,
and because of it's loose weave. is very
cool. 1t is better adapted for beach
wear, or for use indoors. because 1t
leaves the foot unprotected from the
dust and dirt of the city street.
Cloth shoes are usually cool for
Summer. However. a heavy satin
pump or brocaded slipper is as warm
a any leather. Cloth. to be cool. must
be light, and a light cloth won't hold
it's shape.
A tight shoe could be made OF the
thinnest material and yet be warm
II you cramp Your feet they will be
hot in Summer and cold In Winter
On the other hand, a loose shoe will
often spread your foot permanently
That's the reason why YOU should be
careful about stopping around all Sum.

Story Of the u. S. A.

proceed to such lengths as to COM
mence hostilities. New-raised troops
tsuch as those of the United Colonies)
cannot Immediately be brought to sub
NIT to exact discipline and subordina-
ton, owing to their love of liberty and
that aversion to military restraint
which is natural to freemen.'
AS to the attitude of the Canadians.
President Hancock says: Il cannot
help suspecting that the detection of
the Canadians is more the result of
policy than inclination; not that l be-
lieve they have any more inclination
for one side than the other; but finding
the force of the United Colonies in
Canada fell much short OF expecta-
ton, they naturally throw themselves
into the scale which they believe
begins to predominant"
Well aware that the strengthening
of the Canadian army is weakening
the headquarters establishment at
New York, Congress Is relying upon
Gen. Washington to secure aid from
New Jersey and Connecticut for the
immediate emergency at that point
Gen. Washington is in turn appeal
ing to Gov Trumbull of Connecticut
for preventing the fatal and alarming
consequences which might result from
what the general has called 1.-The COM

sending to Canada ten battal1ons OF
Continental troops, 1000 barrels Of
pork, and 10000 pairs of shoes, and
instructing Gen. Schuyler to assemble
at Albany any ther supplies that
may be needed by the Canadian forces.
The same information is going for

Montreal.
Congress has been greatly disturbed
OF late by reports from the Canada alan
front telling of an increasingly un-
friendly attitude among the Canadians
and of disSensions within the Amer
lean ranks. President Hancock's let
ters to Gen. Schuyler and the commits
sioners disclose that Congress is de-
termined to do all in it's power to
remedy these difficulties. The sending
of fresh levieS OF troops, he informs
the commissioners, is in pursuance OF
the most serious attention of Congress
to the insurrection of the inhabita mt 8

the fears and apprehensiOns of those
