considerable amusement from watchIng -

English women in the penny chairs
placed their feet
"Maladroit , " "gauche , " were a few
of the criticisms overheard expressed
tn tones of.varying intensity.
irwas 'noticed that the ladies sitting
In the row the objects of these com
ments were apparently all unaware
of the criticism their feet were
causing. * '
Though not , perhaps , the usual
habitues of the park , they were most
ly well dressed women , wearing the
customary "hobble" skirts and the
rather conspicuous shoes of today ,
which are made In various shades of
\eather \ to match the stockings.
One of London's leading teachers
of dancing and deportment later in
the day said that most English women
aeed a course of "feet discipline. "
"It is another example of the danger
af adopting a fashion set by a foreign
country , " she said. "The 'hobble'
skirt the present mode was evolved
oy French costumers to suit French
women , and Frenchwomen are re
nowned the world round for their
graceful feet.
"English women hastily adopt the
fashion without thinking that , prac
tically for the first time in the history
of fashion , the feet form a conspicu
ous part of the tout ensemble. There
are no crinolines or loose plaited bell
skirts to hide them.
"Beyond a little drilling in the man
agement of her feet which she gets in
the hobbledehoy , short skirted period
of her life , the English woman is
never taught the necessity of graceful
control of her feet.
"Now comes suddenly this tight
skirted vogue and her feet are re
vealed in all their pigeon toed or
sprawling awkwardness. Not all of
them , of course , for some English
women are naturally graceful from
the top of the head to the tip of the
toe.
"English women are fully aware
that the new skirt makes smart shoes
and stockings absolutely de rigueur
but they forget that smart shoes and
stockings draw special attention to
the feet and make it equally compul
sory that they should place them
gracefully. "

In the last ten years , " he continued.
"In the cases of spinal trouble the dis

three to eight years old usually.
"No one knew anything of the dis
ease in many cases until the child was
old enough to go to the dressmaker.
Then it is too late for any effective
treatment. The girl's mother girla

a house in Washington and another
In Paris and who recently has been
a guest of the Hotel Plaza , was
booked to sail on the Kronprinz Wil-
helm.
For several days past she had
overseen the packing of her 15 trunks
by her French maid , Celeste , who un
derstands little English. She had
placed some of her lingerie in a suit
case to have by her in her cabin.
When It came to packing her fish
ing Implements for Miss Spang , is a
great fisherwoman she told Celeste
to "leave out the longest reel. "
Celeste thought she meant the
'lingerie. "
When Miss Spang arrived at the
ship , accompanied by Max Thompson ,
assistant manager of the Plaza , she
found on looking over her baggage
that the suit case containing the
lingerie was missing. She became
panic-stricken. No , it was absolutely
impossible for a lady to sail under
such conditions. She must have
those things.
What should she do ? Sailing time
was only 20 minutes away. .
Thompson dashed to a 'phone ,
sailed up a porter at the Plaza , gave
instructions where to find the suit
case , and ordered him to rush to the
Twenty-third street subway line in a
taxi. Thompson dispatched another
taxi to meet the porter on the Jersey
side. Then Thompson begged the
captain to hold the ship. The captain
agreed to wait five minutes no more.
At four minutes past the hour for
sailing no taxi was In sight It
looked as though Miss Spang would
not sail. But exactly at 10:05 the cab

and heaved the suit case over the
rail , and Miss Spang sailed.

eight consecutive weeks is the record
of twelve hens kept in the center of
the Coeur d'Alene mining district Only
in the last few days , when one of the
number began to sit , was the record
spoiled.
The twelve hens are Rhode Island
Reds and are the property of Peter
Caw , who lives seven miles northwest
of Wallace. Mr. Caw's home is well

more than 3,600 feet Throughout
nearly nine months the ground is.snow
covered. It is only now that the last
of the snow Is leaving. At more than
one time during the winter the snow
has been banked around the building ,
nearly ten feet deep.
Mr. Caw has no steam-heated houses
for his chickens and he neither cares
for them nor feeds by any book sys
tem. The home of the fowls is an old
barn , their feed selected scraps from
the table. With these they have pros
pered and with clock-like regularity
have furnished a neat income. Eggs
in Wallace during the months past
have ranged from 25 to 50 cents. Fig
