Smart and Sensible is
the Seasons Footwear
By Rene Mansfield.

Only eight good-size, fat buttons were
used on light weight patent shoe with
a cloth top, which had a comparatively
narrow toe, without n cap. and was

and white buckskin are also consider
ably used for the tops of dressy little
boots for afternoon wear.

exert an influence, charming and dis
tinctive, over shoe styles for evening
wear. From beneath clinging, trailing
satin draperies, satin clad feet will
peep, in pure French style with spark
ling buckles, or filmy rosettes, or in
Colonial occurrences.
The bewitching French heel, beloved
by women and execrated by wise. wise
men, is displacing once again the less
becoming, If more sensible straight
heel, for ultra-dress occasions. Metal
lie effects have also to some extent
given place to daintier fabrics and or

Fluffy chiffon rosettes. some Of them
dotted with crystals or tiny pearls,
buckles of Rhinestones and Of the popu-
lar seed pearls, and Colonial buckles in
various new finishes-these are the
principal slipper adornmerts that will
be seen during the social season.

are greatly simplified, depending on
stitching rather than perforations to
effect a neat finish.
Very few lace shoes are being shown,
except those in the more mannish cuts,
intended essentially for athletic wear
or street use. The fourteen button
length is preferred, although some of
the sturdier models, in gun metal or
tan calf show as many as sixteen.
Toes are comfortably round and full,
while heels, though not as low as many
of the summer styles would seem to
have indicated, are reasonably low and
broad, without detracting from the un-
doubted charm which the more extreme
models possess.

that overgaiters, to match ones dress

TRACED TO RACING STABLES
Slang Phrase, Getting His Goat" So
Popular Now, Had Origin In
Actual Occurrence.

Unlike many other vivid or pictur.
esque slang expressions, which en-.
rich and enliven the English language,
but the source of which is either OBJ
scure or totally unknown, the origin
Of the phrase, ito get his goat" can
fortunately be traced. Until It came
into popular use, about half a dozen
years ago, the phrase was confined to
racing stables and to running horses
and was part Of the language of the
racetrack.
1t was formerly the rather wide
spread custom among owners of rae.
ing stock to keep goat in the same
stall with horse, either from the
superstitious belief in mascots or
from the more scientific belief that
the goat impaired some of his
strength or magnetism to the horse
Ardent friendships have been known
to spring up between goats and
horses living thus In close intimacy
and sleeping together.
When horse that had the compan-
ionship of goat CHANGED to win the
Jockeys would attribute his success
to the influence of the goat, and It
happened more than once that a
stable boy would get the goat" of the
winning horse by entering the stable
surreptitiously at night and taking the
animal to the stall Of his own favorite.
If the horse that was deprived of his
goat friend should lose the next day
and the other horse should win, that
would. of course. strengthen the belief
in the efficacy of the goat
The practice of relying on goats to
help a horse win a race Is said to be
dying out, but It has left behind one
of the most expressive phrases, which
seems destined ultimately to become
an respectable as any English idiom.

Pop" Lanigan's football proteges came
this afternoon, when Hey" Carter, the

chance of aggTeVating even slight IN

until the knee is thoroughly recovered.
1t was while Coach Yum" Wexford
was instructing the forwards in the art
of breaking through an opponents line
that Carter disabled himself. The big
fellow usually has no trouble handling
two men, but on this particular ocCa-
sion although he got through all right,
the opposition was too strenuous for
him.
