And very we'll indeed do they look
with frocks and suits of the same
hue, s.
Not only in blue, though, Is the sat
in pump developed. One sees 1t In
black land in this 1t is very smart.
Sometimes black pumps are adorned
with rhinestone buckles, sometimes
tulle rosettes, sometimes flat bows or
buckles and sometimes with velvet
bows Most useful indeed Is the
black satin pump and suitable for
very many occasions.
In brown also is the satin pump
seen-the new golden shade.
Black and white combinations are
new In slippers and pumps, and
though somewhat striking, the effect
is very smart. When the pump Is
black there is sometimes a line of
white about the top Of the vamp, or a
touch OF whitel n the bow or buckle.
The same treatment is reversed on
white shoes, and this, toe, is very
stunning.

For the girl who wants bit more
support for her ankles than the pump
affords; there are two.hole ties, Just a
BIT higher, but very good looking and
most feminine and dainty.
High in favor are white buckskin
pumps and ties, and there are many
variations of this pretty style. Wing
tips, perforated vamps, plain yamps,
leather buckles; silk bows-all these
help make the buckskln slipper or
pump charming. High white shoes
promise to be fashionable also, and
more often than not they are made Of
the good wearing, good looking and
easily cleaned buckskin.
Black and white enamel buckles are
a new wrinkle recently shown in a

them on either black or white ties or

con walking some distance In the sub

Hashimura Togo remarks, zone hears
very congregational lynch law sound
OF numerous voices doing 1t all at

There is an intense and emotional
seriousness in the scene on the bleach.
ers of q big league game. The men
are peeled down to the legal limit of
clothing, showing there is work to be
done. When five thousand men pro
coed to roast the umpire with a noise
reminding one of feeding time at the
zoo, the hampering superfluities OF
clothing need to be cast away.
Persons with whom their passion
for baseball is limited and governed
by certain fundamentals of ease and
comfort, seek the grand stand. The
true bleacherite does not feel at home
there. The reserves of society there
tend to check the flow Of his pristine
and primitive emotions. He wants nc
wire netting to blur to the least ex'
tent his eyesight in the climax of this
ardent drama. There is relief to pent
geysers of feeling, and a chance to
identify himself as also a ball player
by catching such foul balls as may
come his way.
Leaning forward on the edge of the
seat, his hat tilted back, cigar ex
tinguished, score card covered with
pencilled computations, with punctua
ton of awesome bowls sent hurting
over the arena, the bleacherite gives
evidence of how intimately this throb
bling experience penetrates his inner
being.

TOM JOHNSON.

Tom Johnson, who has just died in
Cleveland, did not succeed in getting
street car rides for three cents. But

his opponents would admit were very
serviceable.

to give sustained attention to public

election largely as a sporting PROPOSE.
ton, race between two men. But
when it comes to principles involved,
or still worse the intricate problems
Of finance, the average voter would
rather pay his taxes for graft than
read head-achy figures.
Tom Johnson somehow made these
tiresome details of budgets and fran,
chises take on human interest. One
night in the heat of summer he got
10000 people into a tent, where they
listened for two hours while he and
an opponent argued the dry details OF
the traction deal. He made the citi
zens feel that they were stockholders
in business corporation called the
City of Cleveland, and that II they
wanted dividends they must attend
directors meetings.
