Individuality ALK-OVER individual- ity is due to all-round merit, not to the emphasizing of any special feature. The makers of Walk-Overs work toward a shoe ideal. They strive to combine foot comfort with character of line, quality of material and refinement of style. Walk into your local Walk- Over shop and see the individuality of this “‘Restoe"’ Model. From $3.50 to $7.00. Standard prices $4.50 and $5.00. GEO. E.

HIS is one of those sayings which has been accepted as a matter of course; the great difficulty of ob- taining evidence standing in the way of any more accurate belief. In the main the idea is that a homely woman, if you learn to know her well enough, may in reality be beautiful in spite of her face. This is one of those beautiful theories probably orig- inally started by some man who had married a homely woman and wanted to invent a plausible excuse. And it has been kept going by all the other men who have married homely women ever since. It is about time, therefore, that it is duly shown up. To do this all one need do is to remove (with due care, of course) the com- plexion from a beautiful woman, and try to fit it onto another woman re- gardless of shape. This will convince any unprejudiced and honest experi- menter that beauty really begins at the beginning. The idea that beauty is only skin deep may be all right from the drug store point of view, but it has no bearing on real life. Stores, fiction; that is all the public care about. Not essays, however clever —nor vagaries, nor travels—but stories about something common to all life un- der the sun. And this is just the very hardest of all earthly things to do. I might write an essay on some topic of which I am now quite ignorant, by study- ing the subject for the necessary time. But a story cannot be written by the help of study at all; it must come from outside. It must be a “sensation” in “WHAT A WONDERFUL DEMONSTKA TION!
