There are to be more decided
changes in womens shoes this fall
than for two years past. The bulldog
toe IS on the decline and is being re-
placed by the pointed toe. Accom-
panying this change will be q radical
difference in the entire sole, so that
the inward slant of the sole will be
replaced by straighter lines. Only
here and there are shoemakers found
to be frank enough to admit that a
change is coming, since naturally they
are anxious to dispose Of the old stock
Of goods, but "smart" boOtmakers pre-
dict that by spring the bulldog toe
and accompanying features will be
things of the past A new heel, called
the Cuban heel" has appeared, II
is high, but lacks the graceful curves
Of the French loel 1t is likely to be
worn to a considerable extent for some
years to come. Tan shoes have then
best use with short skirts. Worn with
long. dark skirts they soon show the
effects Of the cOloring matter in the
velyeteen with which most skirts are

Girl ART STUDENTS IN PARIS.
some Facts About Their Experiences and
Expense Accounts,

Expense Accounts.
"The average girl art student in
Paris lives about as quiet a life as the
American college girl" says Maude
Andrews in the Woman's Home Com
panion, writing from her own expert
ence of "The American Girl Artist in
Paris" "The tuition at the schools
ranges in price from seven to fourteen
dollars month, but the price of an
artists materials cannot be estimated,
for these are the items that make
the study of art appallingly expensive.
If an artist needs certain paints, she
cannot stop to consider IL others
wouldn't do as well, or If she couldn't
get on with less as she considers the
purchase of remnants at a bargain
counter. The paint must be had at any
cost and that is why girl artists often
look as hungry and seedy as the Mar
chiOness when first discovered by Dick
Swiveller. 1t is safe to say that no
girl ought to come to Paris to study
art unless she has an assured allow
ance of fifty dollars a month. and this
amount will just about enable her to
meet the expenses of daily living tut
ton and materials. A great deal has
been said about the folly of American
girls coming to Paris on limited means.
but the impracticability Of such a ven
ture lies not so much in this drawback
as in the pose and lack Of practical
sense in many of the art students them
selves. The one great pose in art is
the scorn of pot.boling. Most young
artists, for instance, consider it to
be a degradation Of their art to turn
their talents toward illustration,
whereas it is one of the most remuner-
alive things an artist can do. 1t may
be said very truly that no poor girl
should come to Paris to study art un-
less she is willing to turn her ability
in the direction Of pot-boitng now and
then, in order to supplement her allow
ance. There are so many needs for
money in Paris. 1t is veritable Circe
Of cities that changes its lovers not into
swine but into the most enchanting
butterflies, If there is only n little eX-
ira money to be had for dress. a girl
who is very poor and cannot make a
little pln-money often gets rather hope
less and depressed, for there is moth
ing so forlorn in Paris as shabby at
tire"

Medals FOR Women.

Few women have received high
awards for exhibits in the fine arts
at the Paris Exposition. Out Of more
than one hundred and twenty gold
medals accorded to French and for
eign painters in oil and water color
only four have gone to women. Miss
Cecilia Beaux, of this country, is one
Of these. Miss Beaux has shown open
air studies at the Societe Rationale des
Beaux Arts for the last three or four
years. The other women who received
gold medals are Mime. Virginie De-
mont-Breton, Mile. Baily and Mile.
Breslau. Nine. Demont- Breton and
Mile. Baily are both of France, and
Mile. Breslau Of Switzerland.
A silver medal was awarded to Miss
Elizabeth Nourse, of this country.
Lady Alma Tadema, Of England, and
one woman representative from each
Of the countries of Denmark, Holland,
spain, Russia and Switzerland, and
four of France, also received silver
medals. Only one other English wom-
an obtained an award for painting.
This was Miss Flora Reid, who re-
ceiyed a bronze medal.
Eight bronze medals were awarded
to women in the department of sculp-
ture. In the department Of engraving
two silver and seven bronze medals
were all received by French women,
with the exception Of one, which was
given to an Hungarian woman. In
photography three French women. one
Japanese woman and one Finnish
woman received silver medals.

For Long NecIss.

1t is no longer fashionable to have
any trimming at the back Of the col
lar, but women who have long necks
or whose necks are beginning to look
thin, find it is great advantage to
tie a piece Of tulle around the neck
with a bow at the back This gives
a pretty finish to a stiff ribbon stock
collar, and Is almost invariably be-
coming. Only white or black tulIe
should be used. For evening the same

FIGHT FOR GOOD ROADS
How the L. A. w. Has Worked
on It's Great Task.
MANY PUBLIC MEN INTERESTED.

The Campaign Has Been Maintained
For the Past Twenty Years-Reso-
buttons Passed at the Recent Con-
gress at Port Huron.
Popular sentiment In favor of good
roads has made a greater advance dur
ing the last year than in any five years
previous. Before that time the move
ment was confined largely to a COM
paratlvely few enthusiasts who could
see in it one of the greatest economic
questions of the day. There were also
a few localities educated to the advan'
tages of better common highways, but
In comparison with the general size of
the country they amounted to little.
During the past year. however, the
demand for good roads has been placed
before the people in such strong
light and has been Endorsed by such
strong public officials that 1t has re-
celved an impetus before unknown.
There can be no question that the
League of American Wheelmen is to be
credited with the growing sentiment.
The great organization of wheelmen,
which has secured more legislation
than any other in the country perhaps,
has maintained n campaign of educa-
ton, patiently carried out, for the past
20 years, and 1t is now witnessing the
fruits of its labors. Perhaps the best
indication of the interest the league
has awakened in the improvement Of
roads is the class of public men who
are now committed to its furtherance.

such as that of highway Improvement,

more and more real. Several men have
already been killed this season, and 1t
will be surprising If more accidents do
not take place before the summer is
much older
One Of the most surprising features
In connection with the cycle racing this
season Is the fact that some of those
who have turned out the fastest and
best pace followers are men who have
been noted in past years as short dis
lance riders. Floyd mcfarland, the
tall Californian, is one of these. He
has long been known as one Of the
greatest Of sprinters, but his work
against Jimmy Michael was a reveal
ton to many. This was not, as many
writers have enormously stated, Mac
Farland's first experience at middle
distance paced work. Last year In
February MacFarland met the noted
Harry Elkes In a 10 mile race In Me
chanlcs' pavilion, San Francisco, and
beat him badly and at the same time
created several new indoor records.
1t was the greatest bicycle race with
out exception that has ever been run In
California and with the local favorite
in the lead from the start every man,
woman and child in the big building
stood up and shouted throughout the
entire Is miles until there was not a
shout left. When mcfarland Tapped
the champion for the first time at the
end of the fourth mile, pandemonium
reigned supreme, and such frenzied ex-
element was probably never before
seen at a bicycle contest.
The victory was unexpected to a
large majority. Elkes was conceded
to be the best middle distance rider in
the country. whereas mcfarland was
out of his class in such an event, hav-
ing never ridden In a longer race than
five miles He was not so experienced
at following pace as the champion,
and all of these things considered peo-
pie went to the pavilion naturally ex-
pecting a good, close race, but with
Elkes on the winning side. But few
dared hope for mcfarland to win.
and those were close friends to the
new wonder In the middle distance
game who knew just what he was ca
pable of doing.

COULDN'T FOOL HIM.
This Man Knew Steamboat When
He SnM One.

This Mnn Knew q Steamboat When
He Saw One.
The agent of one of the ocean steam
ship lines, says the Chicago Tribune,
told the following story of a st. Louis
man who got into New York the day
after the maiden arrival of great
liner:
After gazing at the vessel from the
pier the St Louisan said to the man at
the gangplank:
"Purty good sized steamboat"
"Shes a liner, ocean liner" was the
lofty reply.
"Shes purity high up, amt sheT"
ocean liners have to be. But when
she is under way she doesn't look so
high"
"Her chimneys amt very high,
though"
"You mean her tunnels. No; they
never make them high for liners"
"EIinges on emT
"Never heard of hinges on a funnel"
GLOW does she get under the
bridgeY
"What brldgep
"Why, any bridge. Steamboats, out
our way have hinges on their CHM
neys, and when they come to the
bridges over the river they lower the
chlmneys, and she scoots under like
she was creased"
The man at the gangplank observed
the st. Louis man with lofty indiffer-
ence.
"She amt got any warehouses on
her sides nor none at her stern" re-
marked the St Louis man after he had
made further inspection.
"Liners have propellers," said the
man at the gangplank, and his nose
turned up visibly.
"Well, I'll bet she can't run. 1t takes
two wheels and a bow like an arrow
head and scant hold to give steam
boat speed, sonny, and don't you forget
1t. If this steamboat was to get into
the Mississippi, she'd go hard aground
first clip"
81 have told you this is not steam
boat"
"Shucks You can't gimme that
saw a picter of her i'm one of our news
papers before left home, and the
prlntin under 1t said steamboat Dc
you think a st. Louis editor don't know
q steamboat when he sees one2 You're
not on to your job yet"
