So if you hanker for a of the new navy blue shoes and an find them by all means buy them. I helieve, started in result of the revived interest in navy blue frocks, wraps, suits and hats. The revival of the oxford is about as interesting as anything that has happened in the reaim of shoes for several months. It takes some wom- en a little while to get used to it.

One thing that will help us to he- come used to the lines of this shoe is the fact that the pump or slipper with ankle strap has likewise been revived.

Never were shoes and slippers more ornate. If, as usually happens, the fashion tendencies revealed at South ern Winter r rts prove to be pro- phetic of general Spring and Sum- mer fashions later on, then indeed we are to wear shoes of many and varled colors. Linen has come forward as | & material out of which to fashion the highly colored shoe. “Pink, blue mauve, vellow, green, maize, beige |and salmon” are the colors enumer ated for linen shoes in one store. Quite often they are made with lin ings to match—though sometimes | they are like Sambo’s shoes, with lin- ings that show strong color contrast.

Billy, Margaret and Dorothy had been playing all afternoon in the at- tic. Margaret's mother had gone to town, and Billy and Dorothy had come over from their home across the street. " They had grown tired of playing and in some way they starteqd talking about ghosts and robbers. “Wouldn't it be awful.” sald Dor- othy, “if a robber came in your room some night when you were sleeping and you woke up and found him there?” It was quiet and lonely in the at- tie, but Billy wasn't going to be frightened like a girl. “It wouldn't be awful at all” he on playing, too. He will jump into the alr and catch the ball, and run away with it and drop it. But when Tone goes to get the ball, he picks it up and runs again. “You never catch him asleep,” writes Tone. ‘“‘Sometimes he acts as If he doesn’t see us, but he beats us to the ball every time.” Margaret Ann Collins of Tacoma, Wash., has two pets—a collle named Pal, and a gray kitten. She sent us a clever little sketch of Pal ring- ing a bell for her kitten, and a verse about it, too. We are sorry we haven't space enough for it. But we'll bet she has a wonderful time with two such fine pets. WAL MATTIE FOUND- -NOWTHE FUN BEGINS, | POR GUNNER GUNN " HEARING HATTIES CRES -, COMES TO.

Down the steep steps they went, and turning, dashed down the back stairs to the kitchen. Billy was lead- ing, and even though he was a boy, his one thought was to get outside to safety. As he opened the stairway door into the kitchen, the girls right be- hind him, the door from the cellar opened. Billy stopped, motionless in terror. And then. out of the dark- ness of the cellarway stepped a shabbily dressed man carrying a flashlight, a cap pulled low over his eves. Rilly gave one cry of fright and turned to run. “Hey, kid, wait a minute,” said the man. “All I want is to read your gas meter.” EXHAUSTED, THE MONKEY THROWS THE Pigskin in the various light shades is | pose that they were appropriate only for daytime wear.

At first the spike heel seemed “too extreme"—now it is the cholce of the great majority of women who want to look smartly dressed. Of course, it is hard to walk on a spike heel. ban heels or even the old-time hi French heels are much better. But somehow—to most women—the spike heel is the only one that gives the right last touch to the silhouette. And that belng the case—since you prob- ably dress for the approval of your friends and nelghbors—it is ‘well enough to wear the spike heel.

Tou Mvnnbmbably read® gome of the Uncle Remus egtories of Joel Chandler Harris, but have you ever heard how he came to write these storfes? - It was entirely an accident. Har- ris was a paragrapher on the staff of the Atlanta Constitution. One day the editor of a department that included storfes for children fafled to get his material ready. The paper had to go to press arid some one had to write something to fill the space left vacant. The editor of the paper asked Harrds to do it and Harris, ready, as a newspaperman must be, to write anything, sat down and dashed off the first =tory &f Tncle Remus. So satigfactory was the story® that when the department editor yetarned he found that Harris was rugning his column. Kor a long time ghe Uncle Remus sketches continued to appear. Harris did not think they were particularly good—to him the: ‘were just part of the day's work, But soon other newspapers began to €opy them, and he suddenly found himself famous. In spite of his literary sucoess, Harris continued to be a newspaper man all the rest of his life, and always took his honors very modestly, Let's All Go.
