WOMAN’S PAGE. BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘We speak about the new black shoes as if the idea of wearing black shoes was quite a new idea. Perhaps this is because the new black shoes are different. Of course, they have the advantage of making the feet look smalier. and we have never really got away from the feeling that small feet S AN A NOC v G SANDAL OF BLACK SAT! MOIRE.

A black kid shoe shows sabot straps of gray snakeskin, and one of the smartest shoes of the sea- k lizard, with high heel eel buckle. In France they speak of “ebony” shoes and really mean black, espe- efally the black kid shoes that seem BEDTIME STORIE Happy Jack’s Thrift. The heedle They ne s are content to drift know the joy_of thrift —Havpy Jack. r Rabbit had told Happy Jack iray Squirrel to follew him. Of course Iappy Jack didn’t need to be told not to let the others know what he was doing, so he was very sly and clever about it. He waited until Rustv the I juirrel and Chatterer the Red Squl were so busy quar- reling that they had no_ thought of anything else, and when Striped Chip- munk was so busy watching them in the hope that they would knock down another fat hickory nut for him, that he had eyes for nothing else. It was SAID PETER, STOPPING AT LAST, “WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?" then that Happy Jack stole away. He found Peter waiting for him not far Away went Peter, at once, lip- B s iy C L white tail bobbing up and down. Happy Jack kept his eyes on that white tail.

There was . hickory tree quite loaded with nuts & 1 on the ground were many that lLai already fallen. There were more than Happy Jack had seen anywhere that Fall. “Peter!” he cried. “You're the best friend a fellow ever had. T'll never, never forget this. But don't tell any- b Jse about it.” Peter grinned. mind to go get your Cousin Chatterer,” said he “Don't Peter, please don't,” pleaded Happy Jack, and Peter was sure he saw tears in Happy Jack's eves. “I was only fooling,” sald Peter. “I wish that I could help you store these reat IT has ¢ T to be even better liked than those of | patent leather or suede.

Sometimes there is a suggestjon of champagne or beige about the biack shoe, even If it is nothing more than the facing of the neat little leather bow. But this note of beige or of gray should give the keynote for the stocking color- If there is anything gray about the shoe, then don’t make the mistake of wear- ing flesh or beige or brown stockings. Black pin seal i{s another leather that is favored by some of the smart shoe men. Black lizard scrolls and straps adorn a mair of black patent leather afternoon shoes, and black suede has sabot straps of black lzard calf. ‘Lizard calf” is, of course, onlv the term used by honest shoe dealers to et you know that the leather is not real lizard, but calf that has been so stamped as to imitate it. The sabot | strap, you may or mav not know. is the strap that starts from the sole of the shoe below the arch and forms a sort of girdle to the entire foot, like the leather straps found on many of the wooden shoes worn by working folk in France. It has a tendency to make the foot look shorter. A black satin evening slipper has a sabot strap of this sort of black moire, fastened together at the toe with a little silk cord. So, you see, there is nothing essen- tially serviceable about these new black shoes. The fact is that for the rougher sort of wear women still pre- fer shoes of some shade of brown, since they are less inclined to show the dust and marks left by spattering of mud than the finer sort of black shoes.

BURGESS away, but T can't; so I guess you'll have to do it yourself.” The first thing Happy Jack did was to go look for a place to hide the nuts. “Agen't you going to take them down to your regular storehouse?” asked Peter." “No,” replied Happy Jack, “that is too far away. I'll move them over there later, but just now the thing is to get them while I can. If I have them picked up and hidden before any one else finds this tree, no one will ever know anything about them. So the filst thing to do is to find a place in which to hide them.” Happy Jack ran this way and ran that way, while Peter watched. At last he came back with a satisfied look on his face. Then he went to work. My goodness, how he did work! Just as fast as he could run, back and forth, back and forth, Happy Jack scampered. It was surprising how fast he picked up those nuts. But it was some time before Peter found out what he was doing with them. He would disappear in an old hollow tree trunk on the ground. Peter watched him go in it and he thought right away that of course that wa 1: Jack was storing away hickory nuts. But when Peter ven- tured ‘Into it himself while Happy Jack was away, he got the surprise of his life not a single nut was there. No, sir, Happy Jack hadn't stored away a single nut there. Peter was sorely puzzled. He kept out of sight behind a tree, where he could watch the entrance to that hollow tree trunk. Pretty soon back came Happy Jack with a great big hickory nut in his teeth. He dis- appeared in that hollow tree_trunk. Presently he reappeared. He no longer had the hickory nut. As soon as he was out of sight, Peter went to look for that nut. He didn’t find it. It was a great mystery. Peter didn't know what to make of it. (Copyright, 1926.) Pickled Grapes. Pick some sound grapes from the stems, wash and dry the grapes on a cloth, and pack them in jars. Boil sufficient white vinegar to cover the grapes entirely with one and one-half pounds of sugar, one teaspoonful of cloves, and one stick of cinnamon to each pint of vinegar. Boll for 15 minutes and then pour while hot over the grapes. The fruit must be cov- ered entirely with the vinegar, and the jars must be quite full. Cover with parchment paper, or use jars with screw tops, and keep in a cool dry place. These are good with game or meat dishes. i Women in Japan work as taxi drivers, street car conductors and insurance solicitors. the largest tea sale in the world—because it is the finest produced.

EAR MISS DIX: I have been married two years and have two babies. My husband has a terrible temper. I do everything I can to please him, but he finds fault with everything.I do. It seems to me that he only comes home to see what else he can quarrel about. I don’t want my home broken up. I love my babies and my husband. I have no money and no place to go, but I can't stand this any longer. What shall I do? ALWAYS CRYING. Answer: Poor, sick, wornout, overworked mother with too many bables and a fault-find'ng husband, I could cry with you to think how sad and how hopeless 1s your lot, for what can you do but endure it? If you had money you could take your children and go away from your fault-finding and abusive husband. If you had parents to whose home you cou'd flee as to a city of refuge, you might be free from him, but you have neither. Bitter as your fate is now, it would be bitterer still if you were wander ng the streets with your babes in your arms, with no roof to shelter you, listening to their crying for food that you could not give them. A poor woman with little children is as absolutely in her husband's power as any slave ever was in the power of its owner. He can treat her as he will and she has to endure it for her children’s sake. And I know of nothing that reflects so harshly on human nature as the fact that so many men use the knowledge that their wives cannot defend themselves to treat them worse than they would a dog. They curse them, they insult and revile them, they beat them, and the poor creatures cannot leave because they cannot desert the.r children. There is no way to make a fault-finding husband quit fault-finding, nor is there any way to make him treat you more kindly, because if he were not cruel by nature and did not enjoy tormenting a helpless thing he would understand that you were worn out with taking care of two babies that have come too close together and that you are sick and nerve-wracked, and he would be tender and patient and kind to you. But stop crying. It does no good. Wipe your eves and brace up and make the best of things. Qu.t worrving over your husband’s fault-finding. Don't listen to it. If you try you can become as indifferent to it as to the buzzing of gnats about you. % & DOROTHY DIX. . . SJAR MISS DIX: I am young. I am good-looking. I dress well.
