Why th® popularity pf thU yery

Conservative folks cry out asralnst

9 tits motive is to Attract th® attention

Doubtless that is so, In aom# <e
But, generally speaking, th® sh
skirts find favor because they give
effect of youthfulnessl
Ite Is the fashion just jaow to b®, or
to appear, very youthful. If you will
analyse th® street costumes of the
women of today, you will Und that
thej* are dressed in imitation of chil-
dren. v
If you would be further com'tnced

the argument, " - « +
|m# effect of the new sfasblon has'
been the bestowal of an unprecedent-
ed amount of ""attention upon the
dressing of the feet and lower limb*.
Among women today there is much,
rivalry tn respect to shapeliness of
legs and ankles. They must Have a
special pair of shoes to go* with every
frock, paying extravagant prices for
them, and their silk? stockings must
be of fancy weaves with tacework or
embroidery. Come -of th® mor® ex-
pensive stockings are so thin and fine
that their texture is almost Invisible,

- Judging Tlie "fee ill** ^
The University of Oregon has re-
cently undertaken to put its "co-eds"
through a course of sprouts In refer-
ence to their feit, which are aubj^cted
to critical examination when they en-
ter. flo far, the tootsies of only one
jjjmjin every nine,, have obtained the
raticig of "jfoodT." white Tn ndt a slhgl«7 tbe^oes o
instance have they show* a perfect
"toe line," "'■>
The idea Of the University authori-
ties is to correct '>|Ui perfect <eet^ so
far as ma&be possible, by prescribing
propfr shoes. But the girls aeefn to
feel ho enthusiasm about it. * "Proper"
-ehoes -yith broad toes are netther be-
coming ner fashionable, arid they
think th^l tiie shape of their feet Is
of smnfl importance so long a* they

should be a plantigrade animal—that,
in other words, he should, walk flat-
footed. A bear walks In that fashion,
and how clumsy Js his locomotion!
The horse, the deer and the ante-
lope walk on„ their, toenails. How
l&hJLJ|M>d graceful are their move-
ments!
The ballet girl, to achieve graceful-
ness, dances on the tips of her toes.
She is enabled to do this by long prac-
tice and exercise which strengthens
certain muscles.
Why High Heels Help
Did it ever oceur to you to think
how wretchedly inferior as a runner
man is td nearly every other living
creature?' A dog runs or walks on his
toes; so does a cat. The flatfooted-
ness of man Is ugly and awkward.
It is to remedy this fiatfooted effect
that women wear high French heels.
Shoes thus mad* lift their heels well
off the ground, eo that they walk on
their toes. Incidentally they make the
feet took smaller.
It Is, however, an artificial posture;
and.lt tends to Jam the feet down into
be narrow, cramp the woman's tO«s
most painfully.
Within the last few years many
bootmakers have undertaken to turp
out stio#s to fit men's feet—shoes that
allow, the toe* to spread naturally.
The war gave a strong Impulse to this
n®w departure, because no Amerlcsn
ioldier was atlowed to wear any other
kind Of foot gear.
But the women will have none of it.
Beauty—or, at all events, fashion and
becomingness—flrst. wh*re they are
concerned. Prettily-shod feet are to-
day considered of such absolute im-
portance that women's shoes ar® made
with less regard for the comfort and
weii'are of their feet than ever before.
Chiropodists aay that their bustftess-
within the last few years had doubled.
Feminine vanity Is making them rich.
Moet women wear shoes at least half
a size sriialler. than they ought. "* The
fashionable foot ,1s long and narrow;
therefore women with broad feet must
wear long and narrow shoes. Shoe-
toes must be pointed even though they
cramp and deform the to*6 of the
wearer.'
Sufferings That Follow ;Sff|3y
Hence corns; also bunions, which
are right serious afflictions (usually
caused by shoes that are too short),
arid ingrowing toe-nails, which some-
times engender distressing inflamma-
tions or even blood-pOlsoning. A com-
mon kind of so-called "rhe.umatlsm,"
with severe pains in the ankle*, feet
and .calves, lr attributable to unsuit-
able shoes.
L,lttle girls are kept in flat dhoes
until almost grown-up. Then they are
put into shoes with high French heels,
for which their feet hafe not been
educated. " Muscles are thereby
brought into play which have not pre-
viously been called on for hard and
continuous ifork. The result ~hr
fatigue, with possibly permanent ln-
Jury. ' ' . ;Vt',
We look upon the Chinese practice
of foot-binding as a criminal absurd-
ity, yet a cu*tmjvery similar is far
more general in,this country than in
China, . in thAt Asiatic republic only
people of the upper social crust bind
the feet of thdlr tlrl*; 1* the United
states foot-deformipg with improper

A woman's* feet grow old sooner and
faster than any other parts of her body,
except' herHhands. -^Idke- tha latter,
with the passing of years they lose

bones. Seven form the heel and back
of the foot, and are so arranged as to
make an arch of:ths lnetep. Further
forward lie five parallel bones; tirthe
front erfds of which the toss are at-
tached. There are two bones in the

otfjers. A complex arrangement of
muscles and tendons keeps this frame-
work together and operates It.
In walking, the big toe acts as n
