In the form of the foot the sexes differ
ns much or even more than In that of
the huntl. A woman's foot in usually
narrower In proportion than u man's ,
while lila will bo connldorubly Htroiipet1 in
the ankle nnd moro powerful in the
formation of the toes , especially in the
ball of the great toe.
\Vlienawomanowii8 a strong , flrm ,
\Yido. foot , ninny of us , ways Jcnness Mil
ler , experience perhaps no sensation of
HUrpriso at finding her "strong minded ; "
when a man trips along on a delicate
little foot people instinctively holiovo
him to ho lacking in power , and often
put him down as elTcminato.
To the attentive eye , none of the
ordinary gestures or movements betrays
peouliaritlea of individual character
moro plainly than the gnittho Bailor's
rolling , the eoldlor't. stiff , the country
men's jolting gait are immediately
recognized.
Slow stops , whether longer short ,
niiggcst a gentle or rolleotivo state of
mind , as the case may bo , while , on the
contrary , quick stops ecem to speak
of agitation and energy.
Kollcctlon is revealed in frequent
pauses and walking to and fro backward
and forward ; the direction of the stops ,
wavering and following every changing
impulse of the mind , inevitably betrays
uncertnnity , hesitation and indecision.
The proud stop is slow and measured ,
the toes are conspicuously turned out ,
the leg is straightened. Tn vanity the
tees itro rjither-moro gracefully turned ,
the strides a Httlo shorter-and , there is
very often an affectation of modesty.
I'lptoo walking symbolizes surprihc ,
curiosity , discretion or mystery. Obsti
nate people who in an argument rely
moro on muscularity than on intellectual
power rest the feet Hat and ilriu on the
ground , the legs il roily plantcd'and far
apart. Turned-in toes are often found
with preoccupied , abocnt-iniuded per
sons.
sons.Tho toes pointed and dragged on , the
ground with slow , measured Btop give a
pompous appearance. Perplexity occa
sions irregular steps and abrupt move
ments. The prudent walk is measured
and regular , entirely frco from hurry ,
agitation or precipitation.
The miser's walk is represented as
stooping , nolfcelcbs , with short , nervous ,
anxious stops. In joy the walk is lively ,
for lightness , grace , supplcncfcH , chimic-
torlzoa happy mind , although the walk
hero Is often modified in harmony with
the cause of joy ; the joy of gratified am
bition , for example , betraying itself by a
different outward bcmblnnco from the
joy of happy love.
Disappointment walks heavily nnd
with irregular stop. Whore a revenge
ful purpose bo hidden under a feigned
fiinilo the stop will bo slinking and noifao
less.

The woman with a loving.hcart is sure
to look upon the bright side of life , and
by her example Induces others to do so.
She sees a good reason for all the un-
volcomo events which others call bad
luck. She believes in silver linings , and
liken to point them out to others. A
week of rain or fog. on avalanche of un
expected guests , a dishonest servant , 'nn
unbecoming bonnet , or any other of the
thousand minor inflictions of overy-duy
life , have no power to disturb the deep
calm of her soul. The love light is still
in her eyes , whether the days bo dark or
bright. It is she who conquers the grim
old uncle and the dyspeptic aunt , nays
Harper's Bazar. The crossest baby
reaches out its arms to her , and is
comforted. Old people and strangers
always ask the way of her In the
crowded street , she has a good word to
buy for the man or woman who is under
. the world's ban of reproach. Gossip
I pains her and she never voluntarily listens -
tons to it. Her gentle heart helps her
[ to see the reason for every poor sinner's
misstep and condones every fault. She
might not servo with acceptance on the
: Judge's bench , but she is a very ngroo-
1 able person to know. If you seek to find
> the happy and fortunate women in your
> circle they will generally bo those who
wore born with loving heartn or , if not
' BO endowed by nature , they have culti
vated , by the help of grace , this choice
possession and so have a double claim to
Its rewards.
Perhaps .tho dominant charm of
Dickons' novels lies in the secret of his
ability to portray with slclll the work
ings of an affectionate heart. The
Cheery bio brothers send out warm sunny
rays of loving kindness on every reader
of Nicholas Nickleby. Little Don-it ,
God bless her memory , with her ewcot
unselfish devotion to her complacent
father nnd thoughtless brothers and
Bister and witless Magglo , wins the sym-
| pnthy of everyone. Dear old Pogotty ,
red-amiod , a genuine lover ; honest Ilam
and his father per Httlo Etn'ly , Agnes
and Dora ( the juxtaposition does not
harm them ) the pinched face nnd the
willing .hands of the marchioness ; Ruth
Pinch and her brother , and hosts of
other faces shine out with genial warmth'
from the novelist's pages and become
tender household memories.
"Wherever such hearts are found in
poetry or fiction , in the pages of the
novelist or in the busy streets , their
power is recognized us unique , bone-
Uccnt and enduring.

Thojjondon Lancet called attention
not long ago to the habit of dual sleep
ing. Baying that there ia nothing that
will so dorangu the nervous system of a
person who is ollmlimtivo in nervous
lorcQ us to Ho all night in bed with an-
nthor who is absorbent of nervous forco.
The latter will sloop soundly and rlso re
freshed , whllo the former will toss rest
lessly , and will awake in the morning
wewry , peevish , and discouraged. No
two persons , no matter who they are ,
ought habitually to sleep together. The
one will thrive , the other lo&o. An aged
person and n child should not bo bed-
mutes ; great us is the pleasure to
grandma to have her "little comfort"
with her nt night , it is one which the
wise us well as fond relative will forego
for thq child's snko.
A cube recently came to the writer's
knowledge , wiys the Jsow York Times ,
of two sisters 15 and 17 years old. The
younger was a splendid specimen of
younj ; womunhooa ; robust , notivo nnd
merry , while the older , though not ill In
any definite way , was thin , tired out
quickly nnd fretted over trifles Itlcu a
nervous old woman. Thooo conditions
finally came to bo accepted and probably
would have continued Indefinitely if nn
English relative , a jihyhloinn , hurt not
made the family a visit. IIIn sharp eyes
noted the morning lassltudo of the older
pirl anil the corresponding froahness of
her sister i\t breakfast , and drew conclu-
Blons. An inquiry of the mother no-
ourort the kcowledpo that they not only
lent in the same bed , but , unld the ,
" '
i "Elite's ( the older ) devotion to her els-
f.or IU uucli that for years she has only
gone to 1ccp when she could hold Mabel
clo < o in her arms. "
The doctor fairly snorted nt this BCIV
thnc'iit. and in the end persuaded thor
r Istors to uluop apart , Two pretty brass
Imdwloads sldo by nldo offered propin
quity and company , but prevented con
tact , with the roault that in six months
tinio Klsio showed a marked improve
ment In her general health , and hac become -
como In eighteen months a happy , good-
temjMjrcd young woman , with coiiHldora-
blo increase of avoirdupois. In this cmo
at least the improvement dates from the
moment of separate beds.
A woman writer In the current num.-
) or of a well known magazine , whoso
ivords indicate she is in touch with bo.th
ends of her subject , tolls why it Is that
0 many wealthy American girls cheese
itled foreigners for husbands. From
icr point of view , the reason is as slm-
) lo as it is plausible. The great major-
ty of men in this country whoso wealth
or family connections entitle them to
move in the "llrst circles of society" feel
it their duly to ape the customs and
mannerisms of titled and oven untitlcd
brolgnors. They ape the latter In
every conceivable particular , and
are never so happy as when
they have achieved some especially
nauseating bit of toadyism. To them
rovldonco is never kinder than when it
ms brought into their midst some
broken" down scion of nobility upon
whom they can lavish their adulations
and from whom they can learn some now
wrinkle in foreign snobbism. To got as
far from everything American in their
: node of living , and to l > eeouio us near
; iko the people upon whom the accident
of birth has placed a title , is their chief
nnd , in many cases , only ambition. This
holng so , the writer in question main
tains that it is only natural that Ameri
can girls with money and position should
pass by the imitation and seek the genu
ine ; that Instead of bestowing horso'I '
and her fortune upon the American ape
she should marry the foreigner who Is
aged.
Between the two classes it is hardly
possible for the American heiress to go
far wrong in choosing the foreigner.
While there is nothing so wholly manly
as a manly American , there is nothing
so utterly useless and disgusting from
every point of view as the male carica
ture who is only happy when toadying
to sickly scions of foreign "nobility. "
Unfortunate ! } ' , what are mistakenly
termed the "best" circles of American
society m-o so thickly thronged with
this pitiful class that the fcolf-respeeting
young women who belong to these circles
must either look abroad for their hus
bands or remain in single blessedness.
A lady friend recently received n
printed invitation to jjin n class for the
htudy of Greek tragedy. Having a largo
amount of that most uncommon article
called "common sense , " and being withal
of a very practical turn of mind , she ex
pressed her opinion on the subject in
words something like these :
"No , I shall not join a class for the
study of Greek tragedy. For those who
like that sort of thing it is probably just
the sort of thing such people will like.
As for mo , if 1 had the inclination I
have not the time , nor can I understand
how ladies with the cares of hoiibo and
family on their hands can find leisure
for such outside occupations. I heard
one whoso hysband brought homo a
friend for dinner , and when she went
down to consult the cook found that
this important domestic functionary
had departed borne hours before and
the mistress of the mansion did. not know
itl I have no doubt she will join the
Greek tragedy class and learn all about
Eutyches , Euripides , Sophocles nnd the
rest. Everybody is complaining now
adays about the poor quality of servants.
1 am satisfied that if there were bettor
housekeepers there would bo better ser *
vants. It Is the bad housekeepers who
miiko the bad servants , and if ladies
paid as much attention to domestic econ
omy as they do to Greek tragedy and
other literary diversions , the domestic
situation would bo less embarrassing
than it is. The average young wife and
mother of today is far superior , perhaps ,
in culture to her predecessor of twenty
( .or thirty years ago , but in those things
which go to make up the good wife and
mother and the comforts of homo she is
decidedly inferior. Literary clubs , pro
gressive ouchcr , etc. , must be attended
to , whatever else goes to the Avail. "

No household is complete without
slater.
She gives the finish to the family.
A sister's love , a sister's influence
what can bo moro hallowed ?
A sister's watchful care -can anything1
bo moro tender ?
A sister's kindness does the world
show anything moro pure ?
Who is happy without a sister ?
A sister is a sort of guardian angel in
the homo circle.
Her presence condemns vico.
She is tho. qiiickouor of good resolu
tions , the sunshine in the pathway o
homo.
To every brother she is light and life ,
Her heart Is the treasuro-houso of con
fidence.
In her ho finds a , safe advisor , a charit
able , forgiving , tender , though often un
deserved , friend.
In her ho finds a ready companion.
Her sympathy is as open as day nnd
sweet as the fragrance of flowers.
Wo pity the brother who has no sister
no sister's lovo.
Wo fool sorry for the homo that is no
enlivened by a sister's presence.
A bister's olllco is n noble and gentle
ono.
ono.Her duty is to persuade to virtue , to
win to wisdom's ways ; gently to load
where duty calls ; to guard the citadel o
homo with the sleepless vigilance o :
vlrtuo ; to gather graces and strov
llowqrs around the homo altar.
To bo a sister is to hold a sweet place
in the heart of homo.
It is to minister in a holy office.

fashion issues Its flats , como such con
lllctlng declarations that it IB easy to
perceive that iwo powerful factions are

the potent interests of trade are at the
root of those vital questions. Ono noted
designer declares emphatically that vorj
full dresses , and most Hkoly hoopsktrtsv
will appear simultaneously with the
coming of the robin nnd the organ

authority sniffs derisively at this dread

never again bo tolerated by tt nation o
women whoso tastes have become so cul

A novel and felicitous plan for
choosing partners was recently practiced
at a whist party. Family albums had
been ransacked and photographs of al"
the gentlemen , at ages ranging from .
months to 20 years , in dresses , in kilts
nnd in the "first pair , " were guthorc
together in a hat from which the ladiei.
drew. Some mon had , retained their
baby looks long enough to be easily
recognized , some wore complete enlg-

plain in spite of additional hair on
lips and chocks awl "subtraction

A mnrrlcd woman hns boon complain-
ng that because eho lives in town she
sees less of her husband In ten years
than her country sister docs In throo.
From a carefully kept record , it appears
that her husband spends only forty-three
iours a week with her against hovonty
which her country sister secures. Of
join-so , town life does leave little time
for mutual companionship , but on the
other hand it gives Httlo opportunity for
mutual boredom , which is an advantage
when the man discovers after the
wedding that ho has sworn to love and
cherish the wrong woman.
Canopied beds are being regarded with
nuch disfavor from a sanitary point of
view ; In particular those high post ones
whoso close curtains make an almost
air-tight chamber for the sleeper. Even

the grace and freshness of mademoiselle's
pretty brass or maple couch can bo dis
pensed with with wholesome rcsnilt ! .
Our small apartments , overheated
houses mid tendency to stay indoors if
the weather is not bright , all these need
the counteraction of plenty of pure air
at night , u condition to which every ad

A typewriter employed in the office of
a prominent real estate firm in St. Paul
has such accurate knowledge of the
realty of the city that she is often con
sulted in preference to her employers.
Ono of the firm said that if she were n

so great is her ability ; yet she receives
only the regular typewriter's salary.
Another woman In the west has for fif
teen years conducted a largo insurance
business foil the regular agent , lie re
ceives the agent's profits , she a meager
salary. Men clerks and stenographers
claim that their chief reluctance to
women entering these different lines of
business is that the women reduce the
salaries paid , not because of their num
ber , but because they are too easily sat
isfied with small pay and are not ambi
tious enough for promotion.

means an expenditure undreamed of by
the woman who considered black satin
slippers and silk stockings the height of
elegance to bo worn with any costume.

place to satin in delicate tints , orna

Lace is much used on winter hats and

A now petticoat is of colored silk with
trimming of black lace and black velvet
ribbon cut into tiny points and sewed on

the newest trimmings.
Bracelets are worn above the elbow
this season , a rather unusual custom , but
pronounced decidedly effective , particu
larly with empire gowns. Many of the
bracelets are plain bands of gold ; others
are in the form of a snake , and consist of
two or three coils of gold or precious
stones.
One of the now dross skirts is called
the abat-jour , or lump-shade skirt. It is
not at all pretty ; on thccontrary , it has u

trimmed with four valances mounted al

inches apart. Underneath the lowest

lapped on tlio left side and buttoned
about half a yard down.
Drossy house gowns are made of plain
French camel's hair , with simple romid
