sort of leather for the home shoe. Soft
buckskin or cloth is the thing, he as
sures us.
If we obey the glorious Russell at
home, may we not be forgiven for dis
regarding his counsel abroad? For he
goes on to say that we must never,
under any circumstances, wear leather
that does not yield to the motion of the
toes. Poor Russell! But poorer wom-
an! He doesn't know what it means to
resist fashionable edicts, and she does;
for she tried it for week or two with
most humiliating results
The latest walking boot doesn't sug-
gest, in the slightest degree, the exist
ence of foot beneath; and you
couldn't make it do so, no, not if you
wriggled your toes violently for half an
hour. 1t is made of firm, although soft
enough, kid, and has tip, with firm
razor point that conceals all your fruit
less maneuvers in the interior of the
boot. 1t covers almost the entire front
of the vamp, and is extremely "sty-
lish," of course. The latest fad always
is, for some unexplainable reason.
Then it has the full foxing at the top
of the tip, and all about the upper.
The heel is a military - extremely
smart. If the vamp is French kid,
the tip corresponds; and the upper is a
beautiful kangaroo kid. Or, if your
vamp is patent leather, the tip is Of the
same. A boot of somewhat lighter
weight is all of the finest quality of
French kid. The large buttons are no
Der nineteen-a trifle larger than the
old-fashioned small one. The top OF
the boot is straight cut.
All Of these styles come in the laced
boot also: but the buttoned is consid-
cred triie smarter.
Another style has the last cut in
rather peculiar fashion. 1t is very
wide over the ball, each side, in
square point. Then the last narrovs
in suddenly at the shank. This is said
to give the ball of the foot plenty OF
room, while the narrowness farther
back prevents the foot from sliding
about and causing any irritation from
friction.
The sealskin boot, which was new
last fall, has not met with any large
degree of success; although it makes
very pretty foot covering.
Ties follow very much along the
lines of the boot, particularly those
that are designed for street wear.

went into partnership with a mcr-
camille trader the year following, doing
business in New York and Baltimore.
He made money. The biographers tell

well that one wonders they did not go
and do likewise. BY 1915 Peabody had

hold meetings annually. There is
vacancy among them now owing to the
death of Robert c. Winthrop, the late
venerable statesman of Massachusetts,.
This will be filed next autumn. Their
Forthcoming meeting-the centennial
memorial one-will be held in Wash

archaeology. Johns Hopkins will hear
an address in honor of the day by its
president, D. C. Gilman, trustee of

One of the results OF the commemora-

new fund for monument to George
Peabody. It is TO be an international
undertaking and quarter OF million
dollars is to be subscribed. The only
difference of opinion is as to whether
it might not be most advisa BILE to found
an educational institution in Peabodv's
with the money subscribed.
The matter is to be definitely decided
by the Peabody trustees this year.
