Show Wmi'lng Overshoes In Dry Weather. I have noticed during the dry walking many persons using "rubbers," as if the streets retained the mud and slush. I look upon the aberration of these wearers of rubbers n a result of yielding yield-ing to th influences of a bad practice. For myself, whenever I have worn rubbers rub-bers undef stress ol weather, I have been only too glad to ca-st them oil at tho first favorable opportunity; but many ; persons persist in keeping them on even ; at places of amusement, where they foci ' particularly oppressive from the high : temperature. This tamely yielding to , the arbitrary infl'y-nce of an uneomfort- ' able article of dress should be a warning against letting lmbit get the advantage of principle in such matters. 1 have heard that in some places in New England, where tho winter's cold is ordinarily severe, "arctics" are a feature of iudoor gayefies, find that the "Port- 1 land Fancy," "All the Way to Boston," j and similar dances are executed tinder the disadvantage,-) of these incumber- nnees. Such experiences should lie heeded by wearers of "rubbers" in dry weather, lest th.a' fall under tho control ! of these oppressive foot coverings, and j perhaps be obliged to wear them to bed.
