French Heels and tuberculosis.

c 4iGAlA 4ACClo aAA @0bSASNAeS@S'
Every normal girl wants TO look well
and be graceful. This is the motive of
vanity. A woman owes ii to herself
and the world to look her best and to
be as graceful as possible.
Just as the folks from the provinces
cherish their little fancies about the
wicked night life" Of the great White
Way and quite crowd out any natives
Of the metropolis who might care to
visit the cabarets, night clubs and the
like, SO We find that schoolgirls are the
Cllisf buyers of cosmetics. That school
GiFl complexion is something ike the
that line Of hooev.
The reason why schoolgirls. young
women in their teens. are the life Of
the cosmetic noStrum trade is, Of course,
the eternal credulity Of the sex. for
which thank Heaven. At this age girl
as q rule has received no proper IN
s-ruction and hence eagerly believes

by the girl or woman II she can really
improve her looks that way. X the
disguise is apparent. the poor woman
merely becomes ridiculous; II IL Is diffi-
cult to detect, IL is admirable. Here
is where the schoolgirl makes an awful
mess Of it. Her adornment is crude.
There is no valid objection, so far as
] know, TO young woman wearing the
frailest of French heels. on occasions,
provided she comes down to earth for
Q reasonable time every day, walking
or playing about in low-heeled shoes or
without heels at all. When a girl In
her teens, growing and developing into
womanhood. gets up on stilts and stays
there most or all OF the time she courts
grief and unhappiness. because she can
not be as active physically on French
heels as girl Of this age must be II
she expects to enjoy fair health and the
only real beauty fate has In store for
her. 49,
High heels tend to throw the whole
body out OF normal poise or posture
and this brings strain upon the back.
If the girl is hahitual wearer Of high
heels she probably lacks the physical
fitness that comes from daily walking
and other active exercise, and 50 her
soft, nabby. weak muscles do not en-
dure strain well and she suffers many
pains and weaknesses that are unknown
TO the physically educated woman. Too
often she resorts 10 dangerous popular
nostrums TO benumb consciousness of
these troubles and the harmful drugs
add TO her plight. Such q girl Is far
more likely to develop tuberculosis than
Is her more sensible sister in regular
shoes, sports. sneaks and the like.
Every indoor worker should take a
vigorous walk In the open air at least
once q day. II this rule were generally
followed the French heel get-up would
be reserved for its proper place and We
should see less tuberculosis among
young women.

Spring seemed most backward In
Nancy's town. She was so hungry for
flowers and blossoms and shrubbery that
she decided to play the part Of Mother
Nature. She had Peter bring in some
forsythia twigs which looked lifeless and
unpromising. Then she put them in a

pathy and interest. The full text Of

Mackenzie Kings idea of Canada as
liaison state between Japan, the
United States, Great Britain and
France may prove rich in consequences.
1t is certain that the Canadian view
point frequently is halfway between
