"1 KINGDOM 1 FOR f 1*1 d: i;] SUCH IS LIFE AMONG THE DE- 0 VOTEES OF THE GODDESS ir OF FASHION s] I (Proper-Gander.) All men have been endowed by ^ their Creator with certain inalien- tl able feet. * , j' Whether primitive man was proud 1 or ashamed of his pedal extremities h has not been found out, nor is it t known whether shoes were intended a to decorate them or to cover them t! uu. but certain it is that some com- n peer of Irene Castle in tlie year one a invented shoes to the exceeding tor- n ment of the rest of mankind. a Such were my thoughts one after- u noon as I squeezed my feet into *(f pair of white pumps in preparation v for an afternoon party?beautiful 1; buckled pumps but small, very small o though the exact size of them I with-J h hold, for fear of what would become of my reputation for veracity. j ?. It took all the fortitude I possess- c ed, but at last I got my feet into them and set out for the canine. By f the time I had walked half a block h I knew what I felt like. I felt like a c dead man who is in a position where t a suit of asbestos could be used to advantage; and the approaching car 1< looked like a heavenly vision. g T.ie car was crowded, and the a '.bought of hanging to a strap for a ? thirty-miniates' ride filled me with a v desire to gro peacefully un<?er the I churchyard sod. where pai'ties and a :;rht slippers are not. However, near h the front of the ear I founii a young t "ir Galahad who offered me half his n seat, oblingingly letting me have the a -,!nce by the window. I hope my meeK I "hank you" conveyed to him a por- n ,;on of my inexpressible relief as I r sank beside him. ti But the end was not vet. My feet o burned and ached and throbbed un- b peakably inside their smootn white e canvas prisons. I looked out of the s window; I took out my vanity case t and powdered my nose till it looked t like sugar-candy; I tried io rorget c that there was anything beyond my e ankles. In vain.

At nc st I knew that I'd pass to the fam- v.] y vault on the spot if I kept those Lrocities on a minute longer. So rawing my feet as far under my et -cirt as I could, I slowly eased them j,. at of the pumps, and as I wiggled y, ;y toe in blessed freedom under my icirt no prisoner released from Sing f; inir ever felt as I did. The car went on, and for a few a' lissful moments I was free. But all liings have an end. At last I was " orced to decide that it was time to li at my slippers, and trying to forget lr ow much it hurt, I turned my attrition to the other. I put my toe in, it nd lo! they miraculously filled up he entire space, leaving no room for p ly heel, I tried again, pressing with tl y my might against the floor, but to v o avail. I had not. much time left, n nd I worked feverishly. It was no v se. That slipper would not hold my h oot, and I couldn't get off the car tl /ith one shoe off. I tried desperate- n jr; I could feel the perspiration start p ut on my carefully powdered foreead. si "You seem to be in trouble, ma'm," I heard my Sir Gallahad say " I helt) V0U?"

"I happen to be on my y ray there myself," he told me, "and have a shoehorn, I usually carry w round with me." He put his hand in c; is pocket, and I smiled too.
