BUCKLES FOR
MILADY'S SHOES.
They Are Rich and Costly as
Hsr Purse VIII Buy.

II an admirer may not give his lady
love shoes as a gift there is no law
of propriety against identifying her
evening slippers with jeweled buckles.
These are being shown in the most
fascinating shapes. Some are oval. but
more are square or diamond shaped.
The cheaper ones are Of cut steel. but
far iovelier are the rhinestone buckles
or those of coiored French stone or
paste to match the dress worn.
Thus with a pale blue frock and
blue satin slippers there are lovely rur-
QuOise buckles, coral ones for pale
pink and pale emeralds for green slip
pers.
The chased gold buckles In half
inch TO inch wide bands are popu-
lar on white satin slippers, though
scarcely as brilliant as rhinestone.
For the patent leather or black vel
vet slipper there are heavy square
colonial buckles In plain or chased sill

why not make pretty pair OF

The newest ones are Of shirrings OF

chiffon or gauze rosette. The ma
terial is cut In bias strips doubled
Iengthwise and gathered fully to a
small round of muslin or canvas. The
mold is then covered with satin to
harmonic and sewed tight in the cen
ter of the duff.
The girl who goes in for monographs
sometimes works the initials or mono-
gram Of her friend on the satin that
covers these molds. This is a pretty
idea when carried out in gold or sill

FOR SPUDS

The reported strength of the
Eaton ball team failed to material
ize in the game Sunday afternoon
and the Spuds won with the great
est of ease, 8 to 2.
Kistler, who did the pitching for
Eaton, was up against q hard prop
osition. His catcher was about the
worst that has ever been guilty of
posing as ball player and every
time Kistler put q little steam into
his delivery the ball went by the
catcher. The result was that he
had to toss them over easy and the
Spuds landed often and hard. With
. good catcher Kistlsf should put
up . good game against the local
team. The rest of the Eaton team
was only fairly good. Teddy Ernst
being about the best In the bunch.

Treasurer Kenehaa aad Auaitos
Leddy Get lntO Mixup Over
Appropriations

Denver, June 20-State Auditor
Leddy has thrown down the gaunt-
let to State Treasurer Kenehan on
the question Of classifying the ap-
proprietion bills passed by the Eigh-
teenth general assembly.
Kenehan will leave for New York
tomorrow or the next day. The ap-
propriation bills will not come over
from the secretary of states office
until tomorrow.
Leddy announced today that the
affairs OF state cannot be held up un-
til Kenehan returns = week from
next Saturday. He says that while
he is not striving to fight anyone.
he believes there is no question that
he has the sole right to say into
which class each appropriation bill
goes.
Leddy will proceed on this basis
as soon as he gets the bills in his
possession and declares that he
knows of no reason why he should
wait for Kenehan's return, or for
his advice or cooperation in the
matter.
"If legal questions arise said
Leddy today, Il shall, of course,
ask guidance from the attorney
general. Otherwise I shall proceed
according to the best of my knowl-
edge.
"If Kenehan declines to honor
warrants which l sign, that is his
lookout and not mine. / shall have
done the duty of my office when /
classify the bills and issue the war
rants for the appropriations
Kenehan is still absolutely Ger
tain that. as the custodian Of the
state funds, he is the only man re-
sponsible for disbursement of same.
