FOOTWEAR AND FEMININITY
Diamond-Slttdtal Shoes Alluring "It Is Preferable to

IKAtV recently attended a most Inter

fcrecafe, bright stilts, colored

"It m Wetter to havo a plain pleasant

the saying. This Is sad

But to return to tho subject of the ex-
MMtten. I saw an adorable little pair of
white aatln shoes bordered round with
aUstmoftfe. with heels also studded In dla
WWii". Tho anklet was of black velvet
afCliikted over with diamonds, and edged
with a wldo frill ot black chiffon.
A dainty little dancing slipper of black
alret had pearl lacings which extended,
ft-MM wise, to the knee, and finished at
the top with a black velvet band In true

Only the other day a lady of decided
opinions discoursed on the subject of fem
inine footwear. "People used to wonder
at the excellent match a very plain girl

' ttrey attributed It to was her feet And

EVENING
FOR ENSNARING OF MANKIND
tentlon to her feetT from the giddy
chorus damsel out to 'kill' potential
millionaires to the girl whose greatest
dissipation up to the moment has been a
five minutes' call from the married and
family Incumbered curate, ono and all
clotho their ankles In hose (even If only
ankle high and tho,rest lisle) of the most
transparent silk, and shoes ot the most
daxtllni; purity otherwise whlto the mo
ment they land at any of those classical
watering places where you can buy every
thing except amusement."
Too ensnaring of mankind must be tho
ralson d'etre ot the net And certainly
some ot the models I saw today are cat
culated to ensnare anything, particularly
tho money out of one'a pocket.
The Russian boot high, seamless and
exceedingly difficult to get Into was
much In evidence. Ono delightful little
pair was of suedo and putent lcatlior, with
tassels to match the color of tho suede.
There was a choice ot such colors ns
blue, violet, gray and green, and black
was In high favor, although many women
prefer to chooso a color which matches
tho suit worn.
Ono gay little pair of boots wero zebrn
striped, made of gray and colored suede,
with stripes of biacK
patent leather. Tho ef
fect was somewhat
startling, but the llttlo
model who sported tho
boots had such pretty
feet that ono could for
give her anything.
In the present time,
when the, foot emerges
perfectly bold and una
bashed Tom the kilt
like .garments nbove.
It Is really essential to
havo something particularly smart In
footwear. Mlla'dy's toilet demands a
unity ot plan down to the smallest detail,
and In the Kngllshwoman'a case tho
"smallest" detail certainly Is not her
feet, though with caro and proper selec
tion ot footwear It may ultimately be tho
smartest.

In a race over tho housetops In North

their friends had planned to glvo them
an enthusiastic send-off. In which a Ger

Being decidedly neutral, they resolved to
omit this part of the act, nnd while the
Kucsts were merrymaking at the bride's
home, 217 North COth street, sho and her
husband made their wuy to tho roof ot
a nearby house, reached tho top floor
by means of a ludder and climbed to tho
street nearly a block nwny from tho
sccno of the celebration. They were pur
sued when word of their escape reached
the guests, but completely disappeared.
Mrs. Regan was Miss Kathryn Macktn.
The ceremony was performed nt tho
Church of tho Lady of tho Rosary, G3d
nnd Callowhlll Btreets, by tho ltev. Dr.
Joseph M. Corrlgan. Miss Marie Carver
was bridesmaid, while Frank Mcllugh
acted as best man. The couplo aro ex

From all directions men and boys, night
workers going homo and others just
Btartlng, came running. Tho nlley wns
narrow and to see Into It the men had
to crowd together. Slowly tho slender
line of men was added to until It reached
clear across the street.
None but thoe up front could see what

Judging from the tenso excitement that
ran through the line of men, it must havo

sometimes directly traceable to Ill-fitting
shoes. These permit the ligaments to
become so utterly relaxed through too
much artificial support as to bo unable
to support tho bones of tho nrcn. Plat
foot results, which In some Instances la
so extremely painful as to produce a
complete upset of the wholo sympathetic)
nervous system.
COMFOHT FOR AFFLICTED.
It will be comforting to the hypochon
driac to know thnt tho pain In her back
under tho shoulder blade doesn't necen.
sorlly represent a lung Invaded by tuber
cular bacilli or that the ache In the small
of tho back doesn't Indicate a pair ot de
caaeni Kiancys.
Rather In tho opinion of physicians let
it be appreciated as ono of nature's high
signs that even a foot will revenge Itself
for neglect and mistreatment.
"Flat foot, or pes planus," said Dr. W.
F. McAnally. resident physician of the
Orthopoedlc Hospital, "may or may not
cause local suffering. Whero It does tho
pain Is usually Intense, amounting almost
to torture. This is due to a pinched
nerve, the friction of two of the twisted
bones or possibly a torn ligament. Tho
constant shock of the pain has been
known to upset ccmpletely tho whole
sympathetic nervous system, resulting In
loss of appetite, disturbed digestion, mal
nutrition and an anemic condition. In
which latter stato the patient is suscep
tible, of course, to almost any of the
moro serious diseases.
"Then there nro casea of, broken-down
arches whero there is no pain felt In tho
foot itself, but referred pains In various
parts of tho body. Their presence cannot
bo explained, but we do know that they
disappear when thero is a correction of
the condition existent In tho foot"
POOR SHOES AND GuOD ONES.
An ill-flttlngv shoe, according to Doctor
McAnally, Is many times tho causative
factor. Too much artificial support of
tho arch Is seized upon by tho ligament
as a line chance to "lay down on the
Job." All elasticity Is lost and tho bones
of the arch fall In consequence, leaving
tho foot absolutely flat' - ,
"Thd Ideal shoe Is one with a common
sense heel, broad toe and a certain
amount of spring In tho part support
ing thenrch," continued this physician.
'Flat fcot is never found among races
who go barefooted, the ligaments receiv
ing sufficient normal exercise to keep
them In perfect condition. ,
"Other contributory causes of pes
pla'-us aro overstrain of these muscles
nn ligaments. An example of this Is
ths society woman who Is on her feet
so little during the day asto permit of
perfect relaxation of these ligaments.
Then for hours in tho evening she dances,
placing an unnatural strain on the legs
and feet, followed by the hours of nat
ural relaxation which occurs during:
sleep."
Doctor Allen advises dally exercises of
these muscles and ligaments by raising
up nnd down on the toes.
A Woman .
Her eyes hold thoughts of a thousand
tendernesses.
All the majesty and strength and serene
calmness of a mountain range Is In
their depths,
And alluring, mystical, passionate shades
Born In the sweet night of vlolet-fllled
glades.
Her cheeks and brow are roses and lilies
fairer than poet's dreams.
Her hair is dark, yet nestling In tho silken
softness
Is the gold of the sun's warming beams.
Her bosom Is deep-an unquestioning
refuge where loved ones rest
Without whys and wherefores for their
weariness.
Her hand Is Btrong-a comrade's hand
With healing kindness in Its every touch,
for every man,
And a guide for little children.
But what makes her more priceless than
the treasures of earth '
And dearer than all the world
Is not her wonderful eyes or (even her
face so fair,
But a magnet that holds with these'
things forget
Her soul is as pure as a prayer,
Exchange.
