DIAGNOSING LADIES’ FEET, |
in Important Part of nn Shoemakers
Work.
Shoes or foot coverings of some sort
dave been and will continué to be worn
1s long as there is any one left to wear
hem, but fashion is making such a
thange in the styles that the shoe of
the past, and the not very long past,
dither, and that of the present are
widely dissimilar, indeed. In thedays
of old all shoes were made for service,
Care was taken in selecting the stock,
he work was all performed by hand, |
wd the result was a shoe that had
ome wear in it. In these days of
heap, ready made shoes, a great
change is noticed, especially in ladies’
iLoes. Instead of being made exclu-
sively for service, they are made for
thow, and that is about all there is to '
some of them.
A Times-Star reporter called yester. |
day at the shop of a veteran shoe
maker, and gleaned some information |
ou the subject of shoemaking in its
many forms.
“‘Isn’t there even a great difference
in the style of shoe of to-day and that
of say fifteen or twenty years ago?”
was one of the questions put by the!
reporter.
“There's where you make a mis
ake,” was the response. There are
only five kinds of ladies’ shoes, the
button, front lace, side lace, tie and’
slipper. The siyles, as you call them,
are only different trimmings. There is
2 growing tendency for trimmed shoes,
and some very fancy designs are got |
ten up. One of the tolerably late shoes
is the undressed kid, and it will prob-
ably be very much worn. The mate-
rial is soft and pliable, cool, and is of
about the same cost as dressed kid, of
which most of the ladies’ shoes aro
uow made.”
* “What is the difference in effect be |
tween a ready-made shoe and one that |
is made to order, on the foot, with!
reference to corns and banions?” was
asked.
, “All the difference iu the world. In
making a ready-made shoe thousands
of pair; are turned from one style of
last, and it is safe to say that on an
average not one foot in a hundred will |
exactly conform to the dimensions of
that last. Now, imagine the other
ninety-nine pairs of feet thrust into |
thoes that are not their exact shape. |
They are wider here, smaller there,
the instep is too high or too low and |
many other kindred faults. This |
squeezing and compressing of feet is
going to injure them in some way and |
the most common form it appears in is
in the stape of corns and bunions,
Hence corn doctors are multiplying.
“It is diferent with a shoe made by |
mensure. The customer comes in, sits
i~ a chair and removes ber shoe. The
first thing she is ordered to do is to
place her foot on the leaf of the order
book. Then we trace the outline of the
foot as it appears in its natural state
pith ths weight of the body on it.
Then the usual measurements of tle
foot are taken and we are ready to
prepare the last. A man to measure
properly should be able to diagnose a
customer. For ins'ance, a person with |
a fle hy foot can stand a tight shoe,
whereas the thiv, nervous foot can
not stand one with comfort. All these
little things ceunt in making ease and
comfort. When the last is prepared it
will be the exact shape and size of the
cu tomer’s foot. To fit this we cat our
mulerial and the result is that when
the shoe is completed it is exactly al’
‘hat » shoe is intended to be.
The reporter was sown a numbe:
of lasts, each of which was marked
with some lady's name. After one
measurement shoes can be made in any
style on the same last and a perfect fit
will be secured. One last was shown
the reporter which the shoemaker had
used in making a lady's shoes for
twealy years. The only alteration
mude on it in all that time was the
tacking on of a piece of leather on the |
aa make it higher. From this it
would seem that the females instep im-
proves with age. The cost of a custom
shoe, of course, is a great deal more
than the ready made shoe, inasmuch as
the material for one pair costs the small
desler almost as much as a finished
ready made pair.—Cincionati Times-
Star.

Mr. McSwat’s Economy.
“I could never see,” briskly observes,
Mr. McSwat, as he leaned a new pane
of glass 28x36 carefully against the
wall, jaid the sash containing the
brok un pane on the dining-room table,
removed his- coat, and otherwise
oleared the decks for action, “why any

Mrs, McSwat complied with his re
guest and he began to dig out the bard
putty and bits of broken glass still re-
maiviog in the sash.
“These glaziers,” he continued
“ain't satisfied with a moderate profit.

“Who's doing thi job?” roared Bil
liger, as he wrapped hls thumb in the
handkerchief his wife had given him,
“Stand out of my way!”
For the next half-honr he pranced
about the table, digging out hardened
putty, prying out splinters of glass,
ind varying the monotony of the ex-
ercise by occasional remarks of a par-
sxysmal and incendiary nature,
At last, however, he laid the sash
ready for the reception of the glass.

“Of course it is,” she replied. 1

1 walled ir Lout, |
| Inthe early Chitatian Church wine
was as much forbidden nas meat to
those who were fasting, Very terrible
must have been the ancient days cf
| Holy Week that were classed under the
{ euphonious title of Xerophagy, when
the only food allowed was bread and
salt, to which, in certain localities only,
vegetables were added. The rules con-
j cerning Lent varied greatly in differ-
ent localities for several centuries. A
writer in the fifth century mentions
that in certain places it lasted only
three weeks, in others six, and in
{ some as much as seven. Then there
were countries in which the Lenten
fast was kept on every day of the
week. Sunday was omitted in others, |
and elsewhere there was no fasting on’
either that day or Saturday. The Cis-
tercians, who did so much in the Mid+
dle Ages for agriculture in this coun.
try, used to last from the 14th of Beps |
tember until Easter, eating neither’
meat, fish, nor eggs. |
To this day in the Roman Catholi.
Church the fast days vary greatly ix
different countries and even dioceses
and although its Lent now begins or
ends on the same days throughout the
world, there is considerable difference
in the rules for keeping it in certain
localities. Then with regard to Ad-
vent there is some diversity, In the'
fifth century it was kept as a general

lowing a certain water-fow! that feeds
the year on which other flesh meat is
forbidden, We think, however, that
many people who have once tasted this
particula- delicacy will not be likely to
avail themscives of the privilege a
second time. The most interesting ex-
ceptional ru'e connected with absti-
nence is one that exists in Spain. It
seeins that at the tune of the Crusades
all who contributed a fixed annual
sum were dispensed from certain days’
of abstinence by a Papal Ball, and
this dispensation has never been with-
drawn. As the tee required has now
become a mere trifle through the de-
t srioration in the value of the money
(about a couple of shillings), the dis
pensition has fallen within the reach
of ni st people, nnd the funds thus ae
cumuiated devoted to charitable
purposes
It is interesting
unre
to remember that
when the rules about fasting were far
stricter among Roman Catholics in
Eogland than they are now, such a
thing as eating fish during Lent was
unheard of, and the fast days at other
times being then much more numerous
than at present, it was very difficult
for those living inland to get any fresh
fish caught in the sea, and that the po-
tatoe, tu say nothing of certain other
vegetables, had not vet been introduced
into this conutry. Tea and coffee were
unknown, as also wer: tobacco and
many o her little Juxuries which tend
to make a day of fa.ting or abstinence
far from intolerable in modern times.
Nor should it be forgotten that eggs
were not allowed on fast days in the
middle ages. Cheese, milk, and butter
were lon; forbi.den. The permission
to est meat at the ‘one weal” on every
day in Lent except Wednesdays and
Fridays and the last four days of
Holy Week is very modern indeed:
nor is it universal. Another modern
innovation is the toleration of the cus-
tom of taking a little tea or coffees with
a few mouthfuls, which are not to
count at all, at breakfast time, as well
as the “half meal,” which with certain
restrictions, is allowed under the title
of collation later on in the day.

The Conrt Was With Him.
A lawyer was making his
maiden effort before a jury in defense
of a criminal. The evidence was all
in, “td he arose to utter the brilliant
thoughts that had been surging through
his brain. He was primed for a fine
display of oratorical pyrotechnics, but
somehow or other he could not get a
start. His mind became a blank and
he stood trembling for a mom nt.
Then waving his arms he began:
*May it please the Court and gentle-
men of the jury—My—ahem! My-—
Officer, kindly get me a drink of
water.”
He waited for the attendant to return
and tried to gather his faculties.
After taking a sip of water he began
again: “May it please the Court and

Alter a pause he again extended

The next day he was surprised by »
sudden swooping down of the mother-
iu-law upon him, bathed in tears and
full of anxiety, even as the proud
father had been full of a sweeter spirit
ever since the advent of his heirs.
The mother-in-law had been shocked
at the receipt of the telegram, for a
wicked and soul-hardened telegraph
operator had construed the message so
that the horrified grandmother df the

Faneuil Hall Visitors.
Among the first attractive things
that come to the eyes of the visitor to
Faneuil Hall, Boston, is a tin sign, on
which the following verse appears in
