“ These Shoes Are
Comfortable!f 9
One of our customers tried on a
pair of Cantilever Shoes at our sug
gestion. She took a few steps. Then,
as if a weight had been lifted from
her mind, she smiled and said:
“These shoes arc really comfort
able'.’
She had found ope of the secrets
of happiness. For there is no great
enjoyment anywhere—out of doors
or indoors—if one's feet are un
comfortable.
The great majority of shoes are
made of lasts which scarcely re
semble the shape of tfie human
foot. So the foot is packed into a
shoe which is more rigid than the
foot, and the foot does its best to
assume the shape of the shoe. No
wonder there is so much foot trou
ble in the world.
The ideal upon which the Canti
lever Shoe has been built is that
the shape and action of the foot
must be given first consideration.
Style is an added feature. The re
sult is a harmonious combination
which pleases both the eye and the
foot.
You will enjoy Cantilever Shoes
for their looks, for their natural
anrl romfortabie lines, their sen
sible heels. The flexible arcln*er
mits a freedom to the muscles
which results in easier walking, less
tiresome standing, and a healthful
condition of the feet.
.Some people go about with “a
weight on the mind;” others with
« weight on their feet -but this is
easily removed by changing to
antilever Shoes.
All guesswork eliminated- Every
shoe is fitted by X-Ray without
extra charge to you.

Sponge Cake.
Boil together 3 I pound sugar, 1 3
cup of water; use seven eggs, leaving
out two whites for icing; heat the
yolks until light, then add the well
beaten whites, pour the boiling sugar
on the eggs, slowly, beating nil the
while until cool, then add the Juice of
one lemon. Grate the rind'of one
lemon into 1-2 pound of sifted flour,
stir, or fold, rather, the flour Into
the eggs and sugar and get the cake
Into the oven as rapidly ns possible
a^ter the flour Is added. Hake In a
moderate oven. The success of the
cake lies In the mixing. Every thing
should be prepared before one begins
to beat the yolks. It Is even better
to have another beat the while* so
that the yolks need not stand one
moment after being beaten.

Replacing
China
lty I.ORKTTO C . 1-1 NC II
Mpny a woman who would not
think of wearing one black shoe and
one brown when she steps out docs
not seem to realize that it Is a de
cided reflection upon her if she will
tolerafe in the sacred precincts of
her home the sugar bowl with one
handle missing, the handleless cup,
the nicked nr cracked plate, the pres
ence of a conglomeration of drinking
glasses all the same table, one
perhaps with n stem, another of utter
ly different shape and the next one
may be one of those nbominable
souvenir eolorcd glasses with '‘Mar
tha’’ or “Joe" or "Merry Xmas" on it.
Now, if your china of glassware
is anything like the above, plan to
take advantage of the price conces
sions the better shops are offering
In the way of these necessities. It Is
most desirable to buy from what Is
termed "open stock." if you wish to
add to or replace yout*stock at any
time, by liuying at n reliable shop
keeping "open stock." it is a very
easy matter to replace that particular
glass or cup which has been accident
ally broken.
With summer but a stone's throw
away, perhaps you will want to look
at those charming iced-tea sets which
the advent of prohibition lias de
veloped to a nicety heretofore un
known. Tlte shops are making huge
price concessions in tlie way of glass
punch bowls, and the' woman who en
tertains will do well to consider pur
chasing one of these and as many
little punch cups as she desires.
Hut, generally speaking, every goorl
housekeeper should take inventory of
her household glass and china at least
once a y»ar and aim to replace or
add to these necessities- of civiliza
tion during these important sales.

Why Build a Home
Without a
Foundation?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
People* living In cyclone countries (
don't build bouses on stilts. Those i
who dwell at the shore, don’t dig !
houses on the sand. Everyone knows
that a house which is built to weather
the elements must stand on a strong
foundation. Digging that foundation
may take a long time and a deal of
money. Rut the wise builder puts a
great deal of his skill into the part
of the house which does not show— j
but which supports all the visible'
structure.
Our lives are like that, too.
No life is a stable, durable thing ,
unless (t is built on a strong founda- |
tien.
No strong foundation was ever dug ;
over night.
There are parts of the country i
Where builders have to blast through
rock. There are places where it is
necessary to dig through layers of
sandy soil. I know a spot in a New
England city where the earth's strata
are so tilted and spongy that unless
the foundations for building go very
deep, the building is sure to tilt and
list when once It Is up.
Now, we humans have varying sub
strata to our nature*. And so when
wo want to build securely, we have to
dig down deep enougli to get a good
solid foundation. Not only do we
have to go deep into our own natures

to get to firm foundations, but we
have to get well under trivial surface*
with the folks we encounter.
All of which makes It fairly evi
dent that important things can't be
done In a hurry. Youth, however, has
a hard time remembering such home
ly but honest aphorisms as the on*
which announces that Rome wasn't
built in a day.
Nothing worth while is build quick
ly, love, success, achievement, money,
character or position, don’t fancy for
a moment that you can rub a magic
howl and have an obliging slave bring
you your wish—full blown and per
fect.
Whatever you want, you'll have
to learn to want hard enough to work
for and toward. You'll have to learn
to want it Intelligently. You'll have
to overcome laziness, discouragement,
and the spoiled child attitude of think
ing life ought to give you free prizes.
I,ong time must elapse before the
bright dreams of youth can be trans
luted from the cloudy realm of fairy
to the sturdy world of reality-.
Don't grow dsperate, Eighteen, tie

ionship or love. You'll have to pre

them—to build foundations for them.
Don’t be unhappy. Twenty one, be

way there and to spend time in an
effort in making yourself right, so
when you reach the environment for
tvhlch you yearn, you'll be able to
