Beautiful Feet and Costly Stockings

By Editor

WHEN women can wear stockings so woven with gold, and embroidered with diamonds and emeralds, as to cost five hundred dollars, as is reported of Mrs. Sharon, wife of the California millionaire, it is no wonder that the poor complain. How much good this five hundred dollars might have done to the poor! Just think, more for a single pair of an American woman's flimsy stockings than many large families who serve the rich, get for a whole year's labor! But they adorn the feet. Despite all this, however, we still believe—
"Beautiful feet are those that go On kindly ministries to and fro, Down lowliest ways if God wills so."
