head gear for the sake of having his feet well shod and he will go about in public places wearing a battered and soiled slouch hat but scrupulously neat as to his foot wear The peculiarity perhaps arises from family pride a besetting South ern sin coupled with the belief that aristoc racy is evinced by the shape and size of the feet It is worthy of not however that the Southern slouch hat is

seen occasionally in New York even upon the feet of men who have long lived in the city and have in most other respects conformed to urban methods of life But the long boot has really given wav to the high shoe even in rural regions though a considerable per centage of country folk even in villages and large towns resist the innovation here are otherwise sensible men who still cling to the an instrument of torture voluntarily assumed with many struggles on Sundays and visiting nights after a man has worn all the week a loose and comfortable coarse boot in which he at ease The Hotel

an unbroken line On both sides new homes young orchards and an evidence of thrift and plenty is visible everywhere The holdings are mostly small confined to three five and ten acre tracts Out of these
