SMART SHOES FOR
LITTLE FOLKS.
New Styles Are Sensible as
Well as Pretty.

Fashions for little folks footwear
are nothing If not extreme this year
Boots are to be as high as those affect
ed by their mothers and aunts, but
should boots not be wished there is
nothing but the lowest cut sandals or
ankle ties, as the latter used to be
called.
AS orthOpedics are more and better
understood by parents there are fewer
children seen wearing low shoes
. through the day. They may wear san
dals for a time and even go barefooted
to strengthen foot cords and muscles,
but so called Glow" shoes are thought
to have nothing to recommend them.
They neither support the ankle nor
permit the instep sufficient play to de-
velop strength, and so it is that that
style of shoe is passing into limbo.
A parent who disapproves Of her
children habitually wearing sandals,
believing that the latter tend to IN
due enlargement of the ankle, may
console herself with the fact that the

strength in greater proportion than the
ankle enlarges and that shapeliness in
later years will be greater in conse-
quence.
Very high button boots are to be
worn by little children in the after
noon as well as morning. The cut is
considered quite the acme of fashion,
and if wished silk tasse1 of the same
color may depend from the very top
Of the middle front seam. This was
fad very popular many years ago.
White and all the delicate colors are
shown in these boots, kid, Of course,
being dressier than canvas.
White stockings with black ankle
ties are always good form The mar
row band of kid which holds on such
slippers does not come over the instep,
but is part of the back, passing around
the ankle. It fastens with one button.
At the top Of the vamp is the tinfest
Tosette or bow, with a microscopic
steel buckle If one wishes.

the head handsome with smoothly
banded hair. For little touches here
and there, at the temples, over the
ears, a few hairs are sometimes cut
and curled into loose lovelocks, or the
same feathery bits are bought attach
ed to hairpins and put in at these
points, But, after all, the hair ar
rangement is a matter of becoming
ness, so when it comes to putting the
styles to the test the individual may
need many changes.

For the Baby.

A travelling pouch for the baby is
made of mercefized poplin in colors
and will be found very convenient, as
all the articles necessary for the little
one on journey may be kept in it.
1t has two compartments and is
brought together with strings of wash
able silk.

DILLON IS
ADVOCATE OF FIELD
DAY FOR STUDENTS
THE REV. JOHN A. DILLON,

THE REV. JOHN A. DILLON,
superintendent of parochial
schools of the diocese of New
ark, has consented to act as honorary
referee of the parochial s~choolboys'
games at Hillside Park on Friday, June
8. In writing to Father Quirk about
the meet Father Dillon says: Il most
heartily commend the parochial school
field day movement. It is an incentive
to our Catholic boys to seek their
recreation where it can be best
directed. The movement will. l am
sure. receive the encouragement and
support 1t so well deserves"
Father Quirk a y that he appre-
ciates this commentator coming from
the superintendent of parochial schools,
because Father Dillon's appreciation
will be an incentive to those who may
have been timid about taking part in
past meets. Father Dillon knows the
value of athletics. and speaks vita
authority when he commends the
parochial school field day movement.
Greater interest han ever before Is
being manifested by the Catholic
people of Newark in the field day. Yes
terday sohn b. Moran donated the set
of media s to be awarded to the sue
cessful competitors in the midget broad
jump, and the medals to be awarded In
the Junior relay were donated by
William r. Clark.
