IN Grandmother's day sentimentality ran riot! Haven’t you
ever gone through the old trunk In the attic and found letters
tied with faded ribbons, and bunches of crumbly flowers and
yellowed bits of lace and hankies? Of course you have, that is
if you’re fortunate enough to have an attic. And don’t you re
member Grandfather showing you a tiny bit of lace and linen
and telling you how shyly Grandmother dropped it on her way
from church, and how he has treasured it all these years!
Ah me! Not like that today! Granddaughter’s bag coroes
unfastened, the young man hands her the hankie, and she's
startled, but none the less thrilled. Only, she takes the hankie
back, and young roan bows—and sometimes walks off. Some
times. though he doesn’t A smile, a bow, a “thank you” and
then—well, then the chet “Walking my way? May I go along?”
And th»re starts another romance. Times may have changed,
but Romance never, as long as Love reigns supreme.

Is Happiness a Matter of Geography?
Ify WIINIfKED BLACK
Goodness what a relief:
Out a * ay from the city, away from
the smoke ami away from the crowds,
the noise and the hurry—there they live In
the funny little house on the edge of the
stream in the deep woods—thick with mow.
There was a bright fire on the hearth
when we came in. Such a gay, friendly,
roaring fire it was, too. Outside the trees
whispered and rustled and bent their heads
together—I’m sure they were talking about
the little house and the people who lived in it
Just three people In the little hou.-e, a
young man and a young woman and a little
girl. Such a pretty little girl, to be sure.
Eyes as blue as the deepest blue of the June
sky and hair as yellow as the ripe wheat
Such a dancing, laughing little thing she WINIFRED BLACK
was, too. She looked like some little wood
fairy in her green smock and funny little green slippers, and she
had a dog, a great bouncing, bounding, barking, woolly, English
sheepdog, running the world and proud of it—the sheepdog.
He loved the wind and the snow—and round and round the
► nouse ne ran, camng to tne niue
girl "Come out, come out and
' play in the snow" Just as plain
as could he, and the little girl
laughed and pressed her nose
against the window pane, and
made a face at the great bounc
ing dog and shivered a little and
picked up the silver kitten and
sat down by the fire and read
her book.
And there was tea and little
cakes and the young man came
home from the city—and he was
laughing, too.
"It will snow again tomor
row,” he said, "I’ve planned to
stav home and ro for a ride.
Will you go with me, sweet
heart.
The young woman laughed
and made a little face of affec
tion and mischief.
“Don’t ask me,” she said,
“unless you want me to go.”
Then she went and brought
out a huge pair of knit bedroom
slippers and pulled them on over
her pretty little feet
“I’m going to wear these over
my riding boots,” she said, “I
know one pair of feet that’s go
ing to be warm, no matter how
hard it snows.”
The other dajr, they say, they
found five little rabbits huddled
in a row close to the kitchen
porch, and what a time they had
over it They shut the dog un
in the cellar so that he could
not get out and frighten the
rabbits — and the little girl
played all day that she was the
snow queen and waa living in
her pajace in the snowy woods.
The five little rabbits were her
courtiers, she said, she was go
ing to send them far away to
take friendly messages to the
frost queen, who lived farther
up in the woods.
And I thought of the crowded
apartments and the steam-heated
hotel rooms and the poor little
young counles I had seen trying
to be real, natural and happy
when they were nothing but pris
oners—and I wondered how the
young man and the young woman
had found the good sense to
realise that spare and comfort
and imagination are really a
great part of happiness.
Now, Imogenc is a college girl
and her husband is a college
man. They could live in town
in a nice apartment if they want
ed to—but they don’t want to.
Aren’t they queer?
And yet, somehow—

ILL-FITTING SHOES
MAY CAUSE FATIGUE
• “““““——-——
l sc Good Sense in Clothing Your Feet, Advises Dr.
Copeland, for You Can’t Be Efficient or Content
Getting About on Cramped, Painful Feet.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND. M. D.
Untted State* Senator from New York.
Tomer Commtstioner of Health, New York City.
DO you ever think about your shoe* and the Importance of buying
the proper kind? As I observe the footwear of some of my
friends I am inclined to doubt it. If I may be permitted to say '
so, I must say the fair women of the race are the great offenders in
this matter.
The younger and more attractive the person,
the more the clerk In the shoe store is permitted
to dictate the choice of shoes. He fits the feet
to the shoes. He crowds the poor, harmless,
voiceless feet Into shoes made for another race
and another period of history.
Is this sensible? How much wiser it would
be to select shoes that really fit—shoes which
are comfortable. The shoes make all the differ
ence between happiness and usefulness on the
one side ar.d misery on the other.
In pointing out the common defects in shoes,
we find, first, that usually they are too short.
The toes are crowded and bent out of shape. In
consequence, the ends of the toes are turned
down and the “knuckles” of the toes are thrown
up, to be rubbed by the shoe. This means that DR. COPELAND
corns will be produced.
1 think it must bs conceded that the shoes we wear are responsible
for the corns and callouses. That is, wrongly fitted and improperly
shaped shoes are at fault for these defects.
Too many shoes are painfully narrow. The joints and sides of
mo oro pnosou upon, no uiaio
deformities of the feet result.
The heels may be too high. There
is a reasonable degree of height in
heels. We need not condemn all
high heels, but certainly those that
are two or three Inches high may
be very damaging.
Tou are not sensible If you permit
the dictates of fashion to eclipse
your good sense. Choose your shoes
for comfortable wear. Then your
feet won't got tired, necessitating a
pair of carpet slippers ths minute
you get Into ths house. When your
shoes art properly fitted there won't
be need of shedding them at the
first opportunity.
If the feet are cared for and
properly shod, there will be remark
ably little fatigue at tha end of the
day. I am sure It is not standing or
walking, so much as it Is wrong
footwear, that Is responsible for
aching, painful feet.
There are certain rules which fit
most cases. Of course, they are not
universal—some feet are so dis
tinctive that special shoes must be
provided.
In general, ths Inside litis of the
foot is a straight line. From heel
to bi* toe the line should be straight.
The toes must not be pushed and
crowded. If you never saw an
X-ray of the feet, you have no Idea
how distorted and twisted ths tees
niii be If the shoos are not right
Use good sense in clothing your
feet. Ity doing so you may expect
to tnrrense your efficiency. It Is a
real menace to your health to at
tempt to go ahead with Ill-fitting
shoes.

I DID not hav# much Urn* to^

attitude toward my Joint ehaper
or.ago with Philip Varltzen of the
"party'* which Prince Georges had
•aid he meant to "throw" In celebra
tion of hla betrothal to Mary. Tor
no sooner wsa the young prince
safely out of the house than Mary
seized mo and waltxed me around
the library at top speed until we
both were breathless.
"The queen waa In tha parlor, eat
ing bread and horsey,** she chanted
aa she spun me toward the couch,
where I managed to seat myself
shakily but safely.
"Oh’ boy! Isn’t this tha moat
scrumptious thing ever? I figured
that our deah George was some
baron or ether to be ao old a friend
of Eleanor's—but the eecond In line
to the throne—won't ahe be red
headed though when she hears this
news? It's all very well for her to
grab Noel off tha Christmas tree,
but don’t you ever forgot that back
In her subconscious somtwhera

side George In tha photographs And
when ahe finds out I’ve had the bid
for the Job—well, you Juat watch the
fireworks. Auntie Madge! I'll bet
] they'll be worth looking at.”
She was In tha wildest spirit*, and
I saw that tha awe of her fiance’#
! status In tha world of royalty which
had been hers for a few momenta
had been completely dispelled. I
shrewdly conjectured also that the
humility with which she had hidden
him good-by a had hoen a cleverly
assumed posa. Rut T waa afraid that
beneath her wild chatter there waa
another emotion beside* her deans i
I to he revenged upon the Prinecae I
j OHna for annexing Noel. I feared i
j that before her youthful inexpert-1
enced eye* was dangling that age-1
old fairy tale lure, that of a throne
j and crown.
"I wonder where George has,
gone." sha aald after a pause. *T)o
you suppose he's toddled down to
The Earches to tell Eleanor hi* new*.
If he has I'll boil him in oil. I want j
to he among tho*e present when he j

There was distinct anxiety In her

would not be the only person r*oa
seaaing a subconscious resentment
toward the betrothal of »» old play

reseat Olina’s engagement to Noel. I
was much mistaken, but there was
no use troubling Mary with my
belief. Neither waa it the time to
point out to her the Ineuperahle
obaUtdes which would li# in the path

'The two royal young visitors wnre
like children In a fantastic dream,
a vision which I Judged Mary temp
porarily was sharing. This was her
hour. I meant to 1st her have It,
but my heart ached for Noel
Verltsen, ignorant of the true etatus
of ths visitors, caring nothing for H
if he had known, but caught in the
web of a headstrong girl's fancy and
his own chivalry.
"I don't believe Georges has gons
to Ths Larches now,” 1 said sooth
ingly.
"I can tell In a eecond," shs In
terrupted eacitedly. “It'a so dusty
ths marks of his tires will show
plainly. I'll run out to the gats and
see which way thsy point.”
She dashed out of the room and
rushed back with equal impetuosity.
"It’s all right ” she said, "lie
may go to The Larches later, but he
didn't head that way this time.”
"Then you surely have Influence
with him to prevent his toiling Oiina
anyth'ng yet. Why don't you call
him up and ask him t« say nothing
to anybody about the matter you
were diaruaaing thla morning with
me, until after ha sees you again?
No possible listener-in could glean
anything from that colloquy.”
Keeping the Secret.
"That'e right.” she commented,
"and I’ll just do that little thing.
And when I aoe George I’ll make
him promise to keep his trap oh s©d
until the night of the party. I'll bet
the minute ha spring* It. E’esjior'U
prod poor Noel to get up and counter
fjeorge’s spiel with another in which
ehe figures a* the trading lady.
Well'. I should gTlod the hash! It
won't make any difference in the
price I have to pay for corned beef
and cabbage."
She sprung up. pulled me to my
fee? and gave me a bear hug.
"Thanks for providing the real
thing in backgrounds this morning.”
she said. "I think George was quite
impressed with our tone \Vb»n I
get to be queen. I'll make it right
with you soma way. Now I'm going
to beat it to my room and think a
few deep thoughts while I'm waiting
for George to get to his hotel no I
ran telephone him and atop him
from talking to Eleanor."
She kissed me and danced out of
the room while I eat quietly where
she bad left me for aevera! minute*,
trying to adjust my mind to the aur
prising development* in Mary’a af
fairs. Then with a feeling that I
needed advice I went upstair* to
Lillian's room. Her husband opened
the door, and I sensed that th*y had
been diw ueeing something of Inter

"Come In and park your simpers ''
Mr. Laderwood said. "We were Just
going to hunt yet up. Lit thinks
you ought to heap a bit of gossip
concerning the ruling house of Trees
which has Just been dished up to

when you call for help." Thereupon
they started to walk towo-rde the

a high mountain, they reached a
house. An odd thing shout this
house was that the roof and the

door but there was no answer. Then
they sew, in the field behind the
house, a man raking the ground.
They hastened to him. "Please sir."
