Hopes for Simpler Women’s Shoes Are BY MARY MARSHAL UYING shoes today I8 s inter- esting and complicated a busi- ness as buying hats. At the smart shope where shoes are made to order there is a be- wildering array of colored kids, lux- nrious brocadex and new and curious trimming devices. There are women who would welcome back an era of simpler shoes. They cling to the old teeling that, however striking one's frock or hat may be, good taste calls for inconspicuous shoes. But this surély i= a minority opinion. How- ever, you may be ax simply shod as vou like and still be in the picture. Some women are choosing simple slippers—sans straps - or buckle—in colored kid for evening, with black patent leather for afternoon. What we Americans called “high shoes™” and our English cousins spoke of as their “hoots” have entirély passed from the stage. To be sure, vou find them in some of the shoe Shops kept there for the hefiefit of alder women. who feel some prejudice or other against the lower typé of shoe. They tear they will catch eold on chilly davs if they wear low &hoes, or that they will sprain thelr ahkles, Still others fear that they will saeri- fice slenderness of ankles if they (vear low shoes or slippers all day 1 nz. Anyway, they Want to weAt' high shoes despite the present fashiohs, and so high shoes persist in xome of the shops From the point of view of fashion, the only sort of high footwear i the Russlan or Wellington boot.

Rlack satin oxfords wers worn by a number of smart Parisians at the races during the Summer. bhut fashion has not spread. You would have had difficulty in finding a shoe of this type ready made at any of the shoe shops in Paris. Women who fol- lowed this fashion apparently had them made to order. There are sev eral oxfords among the new shoes for Autumn. Rut it is as a serviceahle gort of shoe that the oxford seems to find favor.

There was one hoy who heartily dis liked the young foot ball star. “Dude* Rimley, a junior at Lake view, had, while a xophomore the year hefore. come very close to winning the honor of putting his class flag on the Quadrangle staff. Guarded by a little group of his classmates, he was just preparing to climb up the pole when Bob. in some unaccountable manner, squeezed through the guard. and us- ing “Dude’s” shoulder as a ladder, nimbly mounted the staff. “Dude” had never forgotten. While he himself had ambitions to he a foot ball star, he had failed to make the | team, and to have been the factor in getting his class insignia on the fiag- pole would have done a lot to estah- lish his popularity.

Yet there was one other event to come. even hefore the Blenton game. On Saturday night preceding Thanks- giving immediately after dinner the annual_class rush was to take place. | Coach Dale’s first impulse was to for-{ bid members of his team to participate, | for he wished to take no chances that | any of them would strain muscles, or injure himself in any way, before the big foot ball game of the season. On| € second thought, however, he decided [ mo to let them join. The boys had had nothing but foot ball all season. Every afternoon they had practiced, every | MmO evening they had talked nothing but = foot ball during dinner at the training table. The coach feared that they|he might go stale, so he announced on Friday evening that there would be no practice Saturday, but that the team could join in the class rush, Had he known what the outcome of that rush was to he, however, and had he heen able to listen to plans being made in “‘Dude” Rimley's room, had then made the team where he had failed, was a mortal enemy, and his jealousy burned unceasingly. “Dude” had won his name through the fact that he had more clothes any other hoy in the school. Being the of wealthy parents, his every want was satisfied, and he took joy in ‘preening himeelf as a peacock might. Further, in his small way, he felt that Bob, the son of parents whose income was really strained to send their hoy through school, was not his equal. On the surface, however, “Dude"” pretended To like Bob and never failed to have a pleasant word-for him, no matter how much effort it cost. Tt was only behind his back, among the few other hoys of his own caliber who played up to him ~because of his wealth, that “Dude” spoke what was for Meanwhile, however, life on the campus was in a state of constant en- thusiasm.
