Variety of Cut, Color and Fabric Marks Footwear lo Match Street and House Costumes. The Sandal Supersedes the Slipper and Holds a Monopoly for Evening Wear. By Ruth Snyder. ‘e Bu ! Boots! Boots! March- ing up and down! Up the crowded and fash- fonable thoroughfares; through the equally crowded subways and elevated trains; along the boardwalks at the shore resorts; on the tennis courts; on the golf links and on the highly polished dance floors. “Boots! Boots! Boots! up and down!"’ And. such a variety! Nowhere in the market of exclusive shoes will one find such a thing as a simple, un- adorned foot covering. They vary in Marching fabric, cut, color and ornaments. They change morning, noon and night. They vary for sports, formal afternoon wear and for dancing. First of all we will consider the bride because right now she js the cynosure of every romantic eye. Il- lustrated there is a very effective bridal slipper. It 1s of white satin with a split, curling tongue orna- mented with a sprig blossoms By the way, tongued slippers are vying in popularity with the very popular sandal. The pump with the Colonial tongue is always popular with a certain limited class. Yet the foot covering of the mo- ment is the sandal. Vor evening wear the sandal has entirely superseded the slipper. Quite the newest thing.in dancing stippers is the slipper of colored kid to match the gown of orange These may be of simple, thin straps or of heavier straps. The slipper may be slit along the side front into strips a sixteenth or less of (im inch apart, so that a stocking of a (lifferent color may peek through, giv- ing the stocking a striped effect.

More colors in the dancing frocks than ever before. And the beauty of the scene was that the colors were chosen with so great a display of good taste. There never was a jarring note. No two tones were combined that did not fit each other. Now all this is so different from the dancing expressions of a few seasons past. Suburbanites used to fear bril- liancy of coloring, or at least their Parties looked as though they were nurturing some such terror in their souls. The same girls who “Oh, no, jade green bright for me,’’ jade green. used to say is much too are now appearing in And the wonder of it is FOR EVENING WEAR THE SLIP- PERS ARE OF INFINITE VARIETY that they look prettier—and youn, —than they ever did before. It is all a fiction about bright col- ors not being becoming. It is a falsity so old that we believe it only because we have heard it so often. Now you see a blonde young lady with a cherry red dress and you are hypnotized into following her with vour eyes. She is perfect and she gets over that feeling of “‘pep'’ and good spirits which, all the time, she hed lurking in her soul. Green, red and yellow are the fa- vorite tones. And mostly, at least at this particular dance, the dresses were made quite simply with only the mini- mum amount of trimming upon them, if there was any at all. We are coming on, as a nation, in the matter of dress design. We hate to pat ourselves too vigorously upon the back but we certainly are looking well this season. design, Although rather bizarre, if worn with plain stockings it should Prove attractive. This particular sandal is of black patent leather with a single button strap fastening. The checkered design is of white, although red or bisque are also in vogue. Plain black patent leather sandals are often trimmed with red or bisque colored heels. For sports wear we have the usual popular oxford. -But even here we little heavier, When the paste is thoroughly dry, eut out the four slits on the BACK ‘The slits are marked in black and Yettered A-A, B-B, X-X and Y ‘There is only one hole on the BACK to be pierced, it is marked Pierce holos C and D on the UPPE LAG and hole D on the LOWER LE Cut out the eyes D-D on the BODY slits following and B the mouth and slit Also make small lines marked A the find the tendency toward the “dif- ferent."

Portions KIDDIE CONTRIBUTIONS THE WICKED WITCH NCE upon a time, there was a O boy called Jack. His mother sent him to the forest every day for water. One day Jack saw a shadow. It was a witch. The witch caught hin by the shoulder and said: “For stealing my water you shall be changed from a Uttle boy to an old man until a fair maiden shall kiss you. Jack was 6o frightened that he wes going to run away, when he saw he could only walk slowly, and with a cane. Slowly he went to his home through slit Y-Y (in BACK). Pass paper fastener through small slit A (in BODY, being careful to have the prongs of the paper fastener follow then the and dn the direction of the slit) through larger slit A-A BACK). Put paper fastener through slit & (in BODY), and then through slit B (in BACK) in the same manner. Fasten the UPPER LEG to the BACK by putting paper fastener through hole C on UPPER LEG and then through hole C on BACK. Now take LOWER LEG and pass It through slit X-X (on BACK) and fasten it to both the UPPER LEG and the BODY by putting paper tener first through hole D in LOWE LEG, second through hole D UPPER LEG and last through D-D in the BODY, The bear can be made to dance by manipulating the shaft attached to the bottom on the LOWER LEG. Push the shaft up and the bear will kick, roll his eyes and draw his tongue in.

Alice and Jamle had gone to bed in the native South Sea Island hut, to- gether with the brown native and the native's brown wife and their six brown children, And they had tried to sleep in native fashion with their heads resting on one bamboo pole and their feet on another, but they could not. They could not sleep a bit, for all night long the root of the hut was being pelted, Bang! Boom! came the wh “Who could be doing that?" they wondered, ‘‘and how could the brown natives sleep through the din?’ Perhaps it 1s some one coming after the treasure,"’ said Jamie, and Alice trembled. The brown native owned buried treasure. ‘‘Green tur- quojse,"" Jamie had called the hoards of round, green objects, and the brown native had laughed and said that they were ‘‘a thousand times more precious than turquoise," and because the children had admired them, he had promised to give them a share to take home to their Mumsle. With the first crack of dawn they were up and out. Bang! Boom! Two cocoanuts fell just in front of them on the path. Then they knew that the cocoanut tree had been bombarding the roof of the hut with its ripe fruit. The mystery of the night was solved. But the mystery of the treasure re mained, They saw that this more-precious- than turquoise treasure was still there and they were surprised to find the native already at work gathering more and more of the valued stuff. “Why, Alice, look, he’s getting it off the trees," exclaimed Jam “We've found the land where treasure grows on trees!’ “What will the pirate say when he knows?" laughed Alice. “He won't think himself so smart for sailing back to the ship,"’ sald Jamie. She started to climb one of the treasure trees and Alice looked to see that the Pirate had not sailed away, The Good Ship, flying its pi rate flag, lay calmly where the ebil dren had cast anchor. Alice was glad; they would need the ship to carry off the treasure.
