Tan Shoes Return to Favor,

New York Press: 1t is evident tai.
shoes will have q revival. at least as far
as women's wear goes. The natural col
ors have been superseded by patent
leather for almost five years, n russell
rootgear has been as impossible as
crinoline. But the style has returned
and this summer the most fashionable
women will wear brown shades. Mrs.
Eugene S. Raynal, who dresses uncom-
monty well, takes the greatest pride In
her tan f%ootgear, as do many of the
Westchester set. Miss Natica Rives,
who has been seen in town a great deal
recently, wears oozeskin slippers. Fur
thermore, 1t is said tan slippers will do
service for afternoon wear and Will be
worn without elaborate costumes. The
FIRST inkling Americans had that brown
shoes would be in fashion was when
lady Colebrooke passed a few weeks
here. She wore tan Oxfords on all pos
sible occasions.

U DAKOTA o
stand of Corn u Not Generally GooG
and PLANTING Not Finished.

anu TtottAtfIA wv w
Huron. s.. D., June 1.-THE crop re-
port for the past week says:
The weather during the week vas
generally cool and dry except that
there were general showers, mostly
light, the early part OF the week which
were generally beneficial. In the
middle and upper James and Missouri
river valley counties more rain would
be very beneficial and In some limited
localities Ii Is gre~tly needed for late
planted crops graiS and pa~sturage.
There was a general frost on the 18th,
mostly light except in localities In the
middle and upper Sioux river valley
and the Black Hills region. The frost
affected corn, potatoes and tender gar
den stuff to some extent, principally on
low lands, but no permanent injury Ii
reported, and Ii is expected that re-
covery from It's effects will be prompt.
On the whole, wheat, oats, barley,
rye and spelt are In very thrifty and
promising condition, especially wheat
except in some wet lowlands In ex-
tremc southeast counties n In linn
tied dry northern localities. The o 0
weather. was very favorable Tor wheat;
II has stooled very well. The perma-
nent injury to small grains on wet low
lands in the extreme southeastern coun-
ties was greater than anticipated, but
the acreage was small.
The cool weather retarded the CROWN
of corn, and the stand is not generally
good. Planting is still being done on
lowlands in the extreme southeastern
counties that can be worked; and some
replanting is being done elsewhere, due
to poor seed. Cultivation has pro-
crossed favorably. Some southeastern
fields are weedy. Lowlands are dry
ing well.
Flax and millet sowing Is still IN
progress. Early flax is doing well, e1-
cept in the dry northern localities
The hay outlook is very good over the
southern half Of the state and in the
Black Hills region, but would be much
improved by rains in the northern sec
tons.
Alfalfa is generally In very satisfac-
tory condition.
Strawberries are %ripening, q good
crop, Plums promise fairly well.
