Will You Do It
Friends of the REFLECTOR in both
town and country, are requested to send
us for publication any news items of a
local nature that would be of interest to
the general public. It is our earnest
desire to make it a journal of real value.
and to contain all the news of a local
nature that may occur. Frequently
are deaths or marriages in the
country that we do hear of until
is too late to make note of them, and
many persona items around town es-
cape us. Give us the news.

Mas of Foot Treatment Committed
Vanity and
There Li a joke afloat
about tho woman who -wears a No.
on a No. feat
is impossible in exact ratio to the
antiquity of tho story.
There is a distinct limit to tho
squeezing capability of any shoo, no
matter what may the endurance
of tho wearer. But, on the authority
of tho most experienced shoe deal-
find it that tho
of feet are distorted and turned
from their natural growth by the
obstinate and vanity of
the buyer. Very few
persons get their shoes Ions enough.
The great foot folly lies right here.
The masses buy short, broad shoos,
so that widths such as double and
D, that ought never to be
manufactured, are in much demand.
When n woman tells the size of her
foot, to a short
is said about the
breadth.
The host authorities assure us that
any one could have what sculptors
call the perfect foot, a long, narrow
one, if mothers would only begin,
with the first shoes, to put their
children in those that are a little
longer than the foot, adding nil the
extra space necessary before the toes
instead of at tho sides, as
for some unaccountable reason so
to do. Thus, without injury,
but rather to the advantage of tho
foot, a pleasing shape may early be
secured at the expense of tho pres-
squat extremities.
Tho other day a woman, who bad
worn her shoes so short feet
had bumped themselves up at the
instep in the most unsightly
told a salesman who tried
to persuade her to lessen tho width
and to increase the length of a now
purchase that she was considered by
her friends to a

bar longer size, indeed

Tho Chinese not tho only race
who disfigure their useful
ties. They go systematically to
work to accomplish
ties, while our women do it by blind-
ignoring tho pedal space that
has allotted them. Tho
feet are by a long
turning up of tho toes, ours by
cramping tho members till tho in-
step is slowly raised in
A naturally high instep is a thing
of beauty, but that is elevated
by is nothing but grotesque.
And of course, this is a
we find, if shoo dealers to be
trusted, that women not alone
in this vanity. They declare that
men commit the same folly of broad
and short, and, what is oddest of
all, that country people much
to it than city bred men
and women.
Another word of warning may
prove useful, as it seems not
ally to understood, that when
goes into a shop to try on shoes

of walking and in tho

English maidens. A model for a per-

Grecian ladies, while a lady of the
Turkish would be regarded
as tho possessor of a daintily com-

good in figure, and some of tho most
beautiful models, perfectly
