HER SHOES ARE LARGER.
The Athletic eIri is Buying Bigger
Gloves, Too.

The athletic girl of today is sur
prise to people who have not been
noting her developments. She has
grown beyond ell recognized stand
ards to classical dimensions.
NzThe bootmaker still calls shoe
his model, exhibits it in his window,
and it is q pretty little thing to see.
But the athletic girl who has been
brought up in a family where she has
had an opportunity to live q healtaful
natural life, with plenty Of outdoor
exercise, laughs at such tiny things.
The athletic girl has brought about
en- entire, change in the hosiery de-
partments" Of the shops. There was
never. a. time. when there were pret'
tier or more extragavant things for
women in the cobweb varieties OF tine
Isle thread and silk. Women wear
these expensive things for outdoor
sports rs we'll as for dress occasions,
but the sizes have developed with the
women who wear them. Where 8.
Sh and 9 were five. years ago, the
girl Of today wears 9h, 10, 1oh, and
she would often wear II, if she could
get it.
In the shoe shops there is the same
fashionable shoe store spring heel
shoes there Is the same notice 4ble
change. The boots are made to go
over the 10 and 10hs silk stockings.
In the misses department" of the
fashionable shoe store spring heel
shoes range from children's sizes up
to boots so big that they might be-
long to young giantesses. They are
for athletic girls who are kept chill
dren as long as pc ssible and wear the
spring heel boots until they are
ready to make their bow to society.
Gloves have changed with other &c
cessories of 3the feminine wardrobe,
and the well.built girl wears 6k, Z
and 71s in place of 51s. 81 and that

Great Hardships in Effort to

WORSE CONDITIONS TO COME.
But Si%gnatories of Protocol Insist
TIA Acknowledgment That Pay
ments, Under Its Terms,
should BE on Gold Basis.

Pekin. Jan. 5.-The signatories of the Chi
nese peace protocol except the American.
have consulted their respective Governments
and practically have decided to identically
notify China that her failure to fulfill the
obligations provided for by the protocol will
entail grave consequences.
A strong sentiment exists in favor Of a
compromise. II China viii admit that the
protocol demands the payment Of the IN
demnity on a gold basis and confine her ar
guments TO the hardships resulting from the
increase Of the debt by nearly 20 per cent
since the signing Of the protocol. through
the depreciation in the value of silver. and
the probable further increase from the ex-
pected adoption of the gold standard in the
Philippines and in the Straits settlements.
But the Powers refuse to waive the plain
Interpretation OF the protocol.
The danger exists that Il China maintains
her position some OF the Powers may de-
msnd territory or concessions for compeu-
saticn.
