Fallen Arches.

Flat feet. broken arches, fallen arches,
should be clearly distinguished from
wcakfoot, pronated feet. weak ankles.
In actual fiatfoot the arch has fallen, all
right. as everybody can see. In mere
weakfoot or potential fatfoot, the arch
has not fallen, though it may seem so.
I repeat that there is no breaking OF the
arch of the foot in mere weakfoot or
pronated foot: the bones that form the
arch remain in their normal relations
% each other. though the foot rolls in at
the ankle and gives too much under the
weight of the body II you wish to con-
vert a simple weakfoot or pfonated foot
into a real fatfoot the surest way to
bring about the misfortune is 70 per-
Elade the young person with the weak
foot to adopt some kind Of support for
the arches.
In actual hatfoot the arch says. the
ligaments binding the small bones Of
the foot together give and stretch, and
the bones that form the arch acquire
new bearings and new points Of con-
tact or pressure This causes soreness.
pain and muscle spasm, and eventually
adhesions and rightly of the foot in the
new position All this takes many
months or perhaps years. In the earlier
stages when there Is much soreness and
pain there isn't much deformity; in the
late stage. when there is a permanent
deformity, there is little soreness OF
pain.
Some feet are very painful and use
less, yet the arches are not nattened

Some feet are quite fat yet useful and
painless. Where there is pain and dis
ability without much falling OF the

freely apprised of the error Of treating
fiatfoot for rheumatism" That Is an
error likely enough to happen when the
patient does not see At to seek medical
care at all Probably a more common
mistake is the treatment of various dis
eases as falling arches"
OF course, there Is no home treatment
for actual hatfoot. 1t is strictly sur
gical or medical problem. If the in
dividual condition can be improved by
manipulation or by operation, arch sup
ports may help in the restoration of
normal relations of the bones Of the

In a Maryland side road I expected
to pay at least $40 for a horse tow. A
farmer and his son were sitting under
Sheltering porch roof and witnessed
my trouble. Downing rubber coats and
boots, they harnessed brace Of horses,

and ready to start. I was astonished
when they told me that there would be
no charge for their services. OF course,
paid them something. but not $40.
-Four cars said the farmer, were
marooned in the same spot through no

kindness apparently still flows.
Judge Joseph Mattingly of the Mary

bad and leads to neurosis; they de-

be applied to anger.
Anger in children seems far more
natural than sympathy, and most
children. even tantrum children, take
their anger attacks lightly. They re-

to enjoy the experience. 1t takes long
years Of training before they derive
satisfaction from the control Of anger

So on the whole, there seems no
general agreement on the feeling tone
of the anger experiences. Do you or
don't you enjoy anger?

Very Short Skirt Is Now Passee
BY MARY MARSHALL.

This significant, outstanding diner
ence is one of skirt lengths. women
at the crowded, popular resorts seem 70
think that 1t is smart and fashionaple
to show their knees-at least, wnen
they sit down--and the women at the
more exclusive resorts know tnat ~
isn't Women Of the first sort still
think the longer skirt is dowdy ana
"old-looking," and women of the latter
sort-most of them-feel that the very
short skirt is passee.
It is out of the question to give
rule in inches from the ground for the
fashionable skirt length, because this
measurement must depend on the
height OF the individual. Tall women
should, of course. have their skirts
further from the ground than short
women to produce the same effect. Be-
sides, certain types OF frock. certain
fabrics require greater length than
others. The important thing to re-
member, think, is that knees are no
longer in fashion. They are indicated,
not displayed. and this means when
YOU are seated as well as when you
stand.
Evening frocks as q rule are conSid-
erably longer than day dresses, and
sports clothes may be shorter than
street frocks. although a prominent
maker of sports apparel in Paris has
insisted for several seasons that the
skirt worn for golf should always be
long enough to hide the ugly bending

The Shameful Past.

Ottile was a newcomer and the girls
were all most curious about her, She'o
made a hit from the word go ana
though every one liked her, the girls
had an inquisitive interest in her
affairs.
It vas Mabel who discovered the
awful truth. MY dear, Ottile Jansen
is the girl whose father used to own
delicatessen shop back in SPRING
vile. Why, remember her when she
was just fat kid with blue Bingham
apron On all day"
The news was greeted with varying
amounts of interest Some OF the girls
thought that the low-down provided
was enough to send Ottile of the
social calendar Others felt that 1t
didn't matter a hoot. Others were just
curious, girl-like, to hear what she'd
say when faced with their discovery.
And Mabel spilled the beans. II re.
member YOU" she told Ottile brightly
one afternoon You used to work In
your fathers store down on Main
street. In Springville, didn't you?"
Mabel's attack was fairly catty, but
even so. it shouldn't have upset Ottile
as it did.
While the girls watched, Ottile's
color went from rose-pink TO deep
purple, she shot q venomous glance at
Mabel, then said In an icily polite little
voice: Il haven't the faintest idea
what you're talking about. lived In
Springville for very short time, but

changed glances passed whispers to
each other Even those fair-minded
citizens who had not thought the rev.
elation OF Ottiie's past life of any i'm
portance sat up straight and stared at
the newcomer.
Ottile had pulled just the wrong
bone. BY showing herself ashamed OF
her past she had made her past
shameful.
Instead of meeting Mabel's attack
with cool assurance or open laughter,
she demonstrated quite clearly that
| pas delicatessen store was not q subject

Girls all over the world will forgive

her early poverty. Therefore, Ottils
