My Lady's Satchel.

By T.K.

Would it be possible for a benevo. lent person or band of persona to in augurate a reform in boots and shoes ? A * Beautifying Association ' haa been formed here in your progreaaiva little town. The title is not very definite Does it intend to tarn its attention to persons as well as places, or could it be induced to do so, if that i* no! included in ita original purpose ? Is it cot to be regretted that fcitn*, money, and talent should b3 expended upon cold, impassive, unresponsive localities. While within the beating heart* of the inhabitants of the name inextinguish able gratitude might be awakened \i only a like »mount of effort were ex pended upon them—if only their boots and shoes might bo ameliorated and •beautified?' Some thoughtful citi jsen might represent this to Dr Trevor and Mr Timmins, it is worthy of their gravest consideration. I have heard people playfully *llude to the neab No nines as •my little boats,' but; really the shoe fashionable among ladies ju«t now, might moat appropriately be called oanoes» Presumably the Lady Bectlve, after whom these modish in struments of torture 9,m called, pos- Beisea feefc of such deformity that they maybe described as'length without breadth ;' but why any other woman's normally formed feet and unimpaired reason should thrust hers into such a receptacle puzzles me. If any one of these deluded individuals wiil take off her shoe and Blocking,, place her foot upon * sheets of white paper, outline it with black lead pencil, and then place over this sketch one of her newest * Beolive' ihoea, she will be amaaed »fc the difference, aad at no loos to know why ife wai she found it so very tiring to walk yesterday, and-— I might whisper—her companion might also discover why her temper bad not been of Its naaal sweetness. Even an old fashioned boot is uofe shaped like thenatnrftl foot—why not I wonder ?— In«foot, before it hm been boot~ deformed, &• &U civilized feet are, the groat toe tarns out, away from tbe ©then, but we have diligently altered thst, tbe uofortttnate great toe is turned in now toward the others, while they are all huddled up together with out the remot©Bti possibility of having any ' play' whatever when their owner wttlks, which he could do almost as easily and gracefully, if they were mad© of wood, Can you tell me why Is this thus 1 Why are not boots and •hoed made to fit our feet, instead of oir feet being made to fife our boots $ Many parents and medical men are so laitich concerned about the coese queices of having the feefc deformed, that they are allowing their children to run bare foot, happy children if they need never wear, but what do they do when the time cornea that they must wear them? Gould not these observant parents and medical men do something to improve the shape of boots and shoes, and introduce a foot covering ehaped rationally. Strange, to say, the rational drees people began at the wrong end, they should have commenced at the fee*. Now, I will transcribe the words of our old doctor for the benffit of all whom ft may con* cern, that is everybody.

*It is amazing the misery paople of civilization endure in and from their shoes. Hobody Is ever, ac they should bp, comfortable at first in them ; they hope In the long run, and after tpuoh agony, and when they aro nearly down to be so *, especially, if they can got them onoo thoroughly wet, so thnt the mighty knob of the unfor tunate big toe may adjust himself and g©t»little ease. 111 were rich, I would advertise for a clean, wholesome Eiftß, with a foot of my siz*, and I would m*ko him wear my shoes till they were easy, (Frederick the Great kept an aide-de-camp for this purpose, ■nd poor fellow S he sometimes wore them too long, and got a kicking for Mb pains.) Why is all this? Why are every nun's and every woman's feet so out of shape ? Why are there corns with their misery stud maledictions. Why do nails grow in and sometimes h*ve to be torn violently off? All be cause the makers and wearers of shoes have not common sense, and common reference for God and His works 8 enough tostnriy the ehapo and motions of this wonderful—and beautiful, if you would permit it—pivot on which we turn and poogress. Because fashion — that demon that I wish I might see dressed in b»d shoes in her trailing, pavement skirts, a man's bell4opper h»l on her held with her (for she must be a her) waist well nipt in by a circlet of nails with the point inmost, and in her arms ill ike other mischievous absurdities that she invents and forces tapon her devotees. I say I wish I saw her drummed and hissed,, blazing and ehrieking out of the world ; because this contemptible slave domineers her htimtn. beings, says shoes must be elegant, and the beautiful natural foot tnnsl bo crushed into it, civilised mortals mast iimp through life natty and wretched.' And this sensible old fellow never saw a 'Bective !'

He did aofc disclose hia real rank and position until the modest eqaip age, which carried them to their home, stopped before a most stately mansion. The erstwhile country girl was bewildared, and despite the affection lavished on her by her lord, she gradually sank, and died a gracioua lady, a true adornment to her elevated station, having mastered every detail of card-leaving precedence, Lord Butleigh never recovered the shock, but then, that great healing balm, PLANTKKOA, was unknown in those days. Science was unaware of the elements that compose the m"6t valuable recuperative agent of modern times. PLANTEKOA gives new life, heals affliction of the body, and removes mind troubles. Mr C A Jolly, the successful auctioneer and land agent of Wellington, writes :— * With pleasure I recommend PLANTEKOA as a sovereign cure for headache.
