LIGHTS FOR THE FEET.
Genius has given fashionable folks a new plaything with which to amuse themselves. It is in literal obedience to the Biblical injunction regarding a lamp unto the feet, for that is exactly where the new light is to be worn. The Baltimore Herald says:
"It consists of a tiny lantern with sides of very stout glass, mounted upon a stirrup which straddles the foot of the user, a tongue resting on the toe of the foot, and acting as part of the support.
"There are several means of furnishing light for this curious lamp. Electricity and oil are the most common. The former is likely to be the more popular method, as there is no danger of grease leaking out upon the shoe.
"A tiny storage battery has been constructed to furnish light. It is carried in the pocket, and a flexible wire passes from the battery and through the pocket down to the lamp."
"Do you know the lesson?"
"I guess so."
"Well, what's Utopia? Is it a nation?"
"Possibly; a sort of imaginary nation."
"Oh, I see; it's a notion—eh?"
