The Shoe that Different ‘HE business of FOOT-JOY shoes is to keep the nerves and muscles which play an important part in the human walking mechanism happy. The entire weight of a man’s body is on the bottom of his feet. FOOT-JOY shoes are constructed with the proper foundation to carry this weight in comfort and keep the muscles and nerves in a natural condition. This, in spite of the unyielding surfaces of cement, concrete or tile on which practically all walking today is done. It is not necessary to wear ugly looking shoes in order to get comfort and the proper sup port.

Also makers of The famous iff, Shoes for Men Life Summer Sun Tue sun is up at half-past four, All orange-red among the trees ; He lights my room at half-past four With ruby lamps set on the floor, And, crouching low upon his knees, Peers curiously between the trees. The sun walks swiftly on the lawn, And wakes the red rose and the white; He drives tall shades across the lawn With eager spears of flaming dawn; Then, climbing pine-trees dark as night, Unbars his gates of golden light. The sun is high at six o'clock, His yellow face like molten brass; His burning breath at six o'clock Has drooped the rose and hollyhock, And in my bedroom looking-glass Reflected glows his face of brass. ‘The sun is blazing on my bed, And morn is yet no more than seven; His streams of gold o'erflow my bed, His shafts of gold torment my head, But pitying Sleep wings swift from Heav'n And softly shuts my eyes at seven. —H.C.C., in The Bulletin (Sydney). Ophiology How can a tall city compensate small boys for its dearth of little green ponds in the spring, where garter snakes are to be surprised under last year's wet oak leaves? This question annoyed us till we found that any child who applies valorously to the guard in the reptile house in the Bronx Zoo is permitted to hold the king snake, yes, sir, right in his hands! This is glamour. Until the child is permitted to take the king snake home, however, and incarcerate it clan- estinely in a cardboard box — from which it miraculously escapes the first night, to turn up later under his sis- ter’s dressing-table—the country will still have the edge on the city in this one milestone of adolescence.—New Yorker. The Little Blue Books Tne George H. Doran Company may as well know now, before its hopes do too much soaring, that we do not intend to pay $20,000 for a copy of Colonel T. E. Lawrence's “The Seven Pillars of Wi: dom.” However, we note in the story concerning this somewhat expensive vol- ume that the original manuscript was lost several years ago at Reading, Eng- land. We just hope Mr. Haldeman- Julius finds it—New York Evening Post. The Face on the Phone Comte, with the television era: “I'll never speak to that woman again,” said she. “What do you think she did?

It is chosen for the same reason that the finest of all things are selected. Many who mix Martini & Rossi are regardex experts in the art of the aperitif—yet this is the simple secret.
