woMEN's "MANN1sH" SHOES,
Trade Journal Reports That Their
 Recent Popularity is Waning.

Trade Journal Reports That Their
 Recent Popularity is Waning.
 Shoe and Leather Reporter
 A noticeable feature of fall and winter samples of boots and shoes now being shown American shoe retailers and wholesalers is the entire absence of the ''mannish" styles of women's' boots and shoes that were somewhat popular in the large cities of the United States during the winter of 1901 and 1902
 Manufacturers look upon the idea of mems styles for women as in the nature of a fad" and one which does not warrant the expense of cultivation during the coming season. so they have elim- mated the extension sole and other "mannish' features from their 1903 sam ples. and gone back to the neat-appear- ing article with it's closely trimmed edge. common-sense round toe sand low heel. The butcher button oxford is shown in all kinds of leather. and bids fair to be- come one of the most popular styles for fall wear. Attempts have been made to bring the women's button boot into freer use. but for some unexplainable reason this form. of shoes only is wanted to a limited extent. The same condition ap- plies to the mems congress shoe. As a matter of fact the demand for this arti- icle from American retailers and jobbers is confined exclusively to the cheap grades of goods.

The Kaiser's Pipe.
lon Chronicle.

London Chronicle.
 The German Emperor seems bent on break ing fresh ground In every direction. for we learn that, on going ashore at Heligoland the other day. he was wearing oilskins and "smok- ing a short pipe"-probably French briar. cutty. This is quite a new departure. like his majesty's recent assumption of pince-nez when reading newspapers in the train. When he began his reign the kaiser smoked nothing but cigarettes-very long and big ones they were. and from these he gradually ascended to light Dutch cigars, almost of a straw color. costing penny each Now he has taken a pipe such may be seen between the teeth of yachtsmen at Cowes. His father the Em- peror Frederick, took his tobacco in a por- pelain pipe of the student type. The old em- peror. on the other hand, true to the tradi- tions of his youth. never smoked. or at least he never went beyond raising cigarette to his lips at military messes and shooting par ties as a signal to she rest of the company hat they might now light up.

 MT. Labouchere says of the late Cardi- nal Vaughan: He was most simple in his tastes and habits. Several times he was presented with costly robes, and on one occasion he received a carriage But the donors found that he soon sold their gifts and spent the money in charity. They therefore at last lent him robes and a carriage, in order to oblige him to retain them. He once told me that he was very desirous to hear Patti, but that he did not like to go to one of her public concerts. When I told Mime. Patti this she said that she should be delighted to sing to him; so I asked them both to dinner with a few other friends and after dinner she sang several times to the great delight of the cardinal"
 Captain Blackburn, who has been frus- trated in his attempt to cross the Allan tic in small open boat, is surely the most extraordinary navigator in the world His foolhardlness consists not merely in making perilous voyages in open boats but in the Severe handicap which an accident has imposed on him-for the captain has neither fingers nor toes. and yet some five years ago navigated a small open boat across the Atlantic from Gloucester, Mass. to the town of the same name in England. He afterward took the tiny vessel around to the Thames but was stopped at the entrance to the London dock. You can't get in here.' said the dock superintendent.
