FASHIONABLE FOOTWEAR.
More Attention Paid to Comfort and Con-
venience Than Formerly.
“Of course, for carriage wear, house
wear, evening wear, the Louis Quinze
heel is all the go—although I do not
advocate women moving about all day
in the house, for instance, with their
feet at the angle those heels enforce.
Whether a woman is walking on the
street or walking in the house her foot
should be properly poised. The low
heel and pointed toe, even an extremely
pointed toe, are to be preferred to the
broad toe and high heel which prevailed
a. dozen or so years ago.”
“And about the picadilly toes—are
they vanishing?” _
“A rounded toe, neither pointed nor
square, is what we are making now for
walking boots, but slippers still ter-
minate in a sharp point, perhaps not as
exaggerated as last season.
“Buckles have little to do with the
anatomy of the foot,” he added, “but I
want to show you these cut-steel
buckles on the patent-leather slippers,”
and he took from the show window a
variety of Cinderella-like footgear
strapped and buckled in novel and
dainty designs. They were pretty
enough for the roseleaf feet of fairies.
“In regard to leggings, a subject so
\ important to the tuniced and gaited
Rosalinds who flit through our parks
and along our boulevards, it is revealed
that shapely and satisfactory acces»
sories of the kind are being made of
black leather and pigskin. The ma-
jority are buttoned for convenience in
getting into them, but the more ex-
pensive are laced with delicate preci-
sion and fit like wax.“ ' _
“Undoubtedly people pay much more
attention to their feet, take better care
of them and think more of their com-
fort now than they ever did. And well
they need to do so,” quoth the shoe-
maker, emphatically. “Many people
are one-sided and ‘their bodies thrown
clear out of plumb simply from always
having balanced themselves on absurd
heels and having worn the wrong shape
of shoe. I know personally an appar-
ently sensible woman who weighed
two hundred and twenty-five pounds
and who wore habitually a one and one-
half shoe with a heel three inches high.
She fell once or twice and hurt herself,
but the fall was never attributed to the
shoes. I have another customer, a fine-
looking girl of noble proportions, who
invariably orders an ‘A’ last. It is en-
Among the
people who come to us to be fitted are
a great many whose feet are totally un-
like. They have a corn, perhaps, on one
foot, and habitually walk in sucha way
as to ease that foot; that is, 'throw the
pressure off the corn. A different set
of muscles is used and the foot enlarges
in a different way from its companion
foot. People invariably ‘favor’ one
member of the body more than the
'other; in measuring for leggings one
leg is often found much larger than the
other, and the same is true in regard to
feet. The shoes are made similar, but
the feet are distinctly difierent.”——N, Y.

WOMEN
The Great Incl-cam the United King'-
dom—Some Statistics.
The advance made by women in the
professions is strikingly brought out by
this new census paper. In the civil
service the number of women officers
and clerks had risen from less than 3,-
000 in 1871 to 8,546 in the last census
year. In the local government of the
country, too, women are much more
freely employed. There was evidently
a return of women doctors in 1871; they
were awaiting their degrees, or had de-
grees which the census did not recog-
nize; in 1881 they were returned as 25
in number, but in 1891 they were 101 in
England and Wales. Women veteri-
nary surgeons appeared for the first
There were
then two of them. Besides over 53,000
sick nurses, there are 887 women en-
gaged in “subordinate medical service.”
Under the somewhat comprehensive
heading of “author, editor, journalist,”
we find 660 women in 1891, as compared
~.wit11 452 ten years before and 255 in
1871. Women reporters were rare in
1881. Fifteen was the total number for
England and Wales, but in 1891 there
were 127. In the arts the invasion of
the ladies is most conspicuous. ‘ In
1881.there were 1,960 of their sex who I.
returned themselves as painters, .en- '
gravers or sculptors; in 1891 the num-
IN THE PROFESSIONS..
ber had risen to 3,032. For the first
time in 1891 there were lady architects
on the census. They numbered 19.
' Lady musicians and musiclmistresses
numbered over 19,000 in 1891. They
were 11,060 ten years before. Instead
0“ 2.363 actresses, as in 1881, there Were
in 1891 3,096. ‘ In the commercial class
the increase of women workers is not
so striking, the apparently great aug-
mentation of commercial clerks being
explained by the transfer to this class
of hundreds previously described as ac-
countants—London News.
A Man with Hopes.
Near midnight the other evening I‘
sat down on one of the seats of the
Thames embankment when a ragamuf-
fin began pestering me for a penny.
After I had given him Sixpence I said:
“You must go hun gr y for a long time?”
“Yes, sir.”
“And you seldom sleep in a bed?”
“Very seldom.”
“And your clothes are badly out at
the elbows?”
“I need a new suit, sir.”
’ “On the whole, you haven’t much to
live for, I take it?”
v “No 1' very much, sir, and if it wasn’t
for my hopes I’d take a header into the
river.”
:3 “What. hopes have you?”
“Well, sir, I’ll put your tenner with
nine bob more on the races to-morrow,
and if I win I’ll sit down to a cham-
pagne supper and buy myself a box of
Havana cigars. That’s what I hope for,
sir, and I thank you and good night.”
I shouted at him to come back with
my coin, but he vanished. in the gld‘om
in the direction of Blackfriars bridge.—

" Red Cotton In Georgia-
Red cotton has been raised at Alpha-
retta, Ga., where a. planter has quite a
quantity of that curious stuff, every
stalk of which is a deep red, even the
leaf, boll and bloom. This novel crop
comes from planting seeds obtained
six or seven years ago from a freak
stalk of red cotton found growing in
Florida. ‘
A COMMERCIAL mission to China has
been organized by the Lyons chamber
of commerce, acting in concert with.
the French government. Young men
will be sent out at its expense for two
years, first to Shanghai and then into
the interior provinces back of Tonkin,
to study the means for developing
French trade.-

fast together at the Arlington, dine to-
gether in the evening, and. invariably
drive together until bedtime.

suit is pretty to see, but if he is a bicy-

jean is a more appropriate, though,
perhaps, not so picturesque a costume.
