A very amusing case was heard in .the Toronto llivn-iion (‘ourt yesterday. The action was one brought by Mr. M. \l. King‘ builiffmul detective, against Mrs. Peter Bur- ton to recover 370. which he claimed to be due him for his services in arranging a nmrriaue between Mm. Burton and her husband. It appeared that the defendant fell in love with Mr. Burton. and was deair- ous of becoming his wife. To bring about it nmrriuge she secured the services of the pluintil’f. The latter xuvceeded in arranging the desired nnu-riage, but did not succeed in securing the removal of Mr. Burton‘s pre- pustlefising housekeeper, who was felt to be in the way. The nmrriage came off as arranged. but the new) wedded couple did not agree. and the handsome housekeeper was put down ms the cause. it being alleged that she was estrnnginu Mr. Burton‘s affec- timm from his spouse with the. aid of an elixir of love. Mrs. Burton determined to test the potency of thisemnpounil. which she did by applying it to her husband‘s coat tails. which did not have the desired effect. “ A crusade ought to the waged against wearing: tight shoes.

The French, outside of Paris, are not de- voted to the semi-barbarous habit either. and some of our finest models come from the Provinces of France. The nobility aré supposed to have small feet and hands, but that is an erroneous impression, us many noble fmnilies I could mention in England are nbml for their large feet. All nineti- cun girls feel their nobility, and hence they wish to have snmll feet.

Women are ambitions to lmvd small feet and hmulu, and at an eurlyngc they ‘gin to wear tight shoes. The result is t not their feet are cramped and do not grow with the other members of the body. Of course, there are some professional models who began early in life and never ormnped their foot with tight shoes. Theylmve correct proportions. I speak generally of tho muss of women who become models after they are 18 years old. Women inmgino if they lnwc small footund hands they have all that isncocssnry to gm; them u shapely appearance.
