Only eight good-size, fat buttons were
used on a light weight patent shoe with
a cloth top, which had a comparatively

tip, while those on the heavier boots
are greatly simpli6ed, depending, on
stitching rather than p~erforations 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 I'M
doubted charm which the more extreme
models possess.
The woman who likes to carry out
the color scheme of her costumes to
the last detail will be glad to know
that overgaiters, to match ones dress
or suit will be much worn during the
winter. Cloth top shoes are also con-
sidered very smart, in gray and tan
and pearl, as well as in black.
A bit conspicuous, but most attract
i've on a slender foot, is the button
boot with the top Of check cloth, usu-
ally in black and white. The vamp of
patent leather has a long wing tip,
which is stitched and perforated.

les dead will be felt the world over.
Captain E. ]. Smith, commander OF
the Titanic, probably went to his
grave with his Inflated vessel without
once being able to communicate direct
with the agents of his line Aside from
the IS. o. s." sent by his wireless op-
orator, not one word from him was re-
ceived up to the time the Titanic sank
bow foremost into the ocean.
The presumption is that he met his
death while at his post as a gallant
skipper.
That he and his crew facei the
rigidly unwritten law of the sea-wo-
men and children frst-is plainly indi-
Gated by the preponderance of women
among the partial list of survivors
that the wireless has given.
Although rated as one Of the most
able commanders since the advent Of
the modern steamship, CAPITA
Smiths career had been recent
marred with i'll luck. He was in com
mand Of the Titanics sister ship, the
Olympic, when that vessel was in col

Exonerated of all blime for this occur.

Titanic, only to Craze disaster whsn
his new charge fouled the steamship

Although S68 souls are reported to
be on the Carpathia, it is apparent
that all of them are not passengers,
for it was necessary for members Of
the Titanic's crew to man the life
boats which set out from the sinking
liner. How many of the crew were
assigned to each boat is a subject of |
conjecture. A similarly unsettled |
point is the percentage of first class
passengers among those saved. While |
the names of survivors obtained are
largely those. of saloon passengers,
the rule women first" should apply
equally to the second cabin and the
steerage, a regulation which may have
cost the life Of many prominent men
above decks. It is natural also that
DIS would be slower in reaching land.
Olympic Sent Terrible Tidings.
The tidings that the Titanic had
sunk came in a brief wireless dispatch
o Cape Race, N. F, from the White
Star liner Olympic, which reported
hat the Titanic had foundered al
bout 2.2O a. m. Monday morning, in
41.16 north and longitude 5O.14
vest. The message added that the
teamship Carpathia,. then on her way
o Naples, had reached the scene Of
he wreck at daybreak and found only
he boats and wreckage and that all
he Titanic's boats were accounted for
nd about 675 souls saved, crew and
assengers, latter nearly all women
nd children"

A Terrible Scene.

After the first desperate calls Of t. e
Titanic for help had been sent flying
through space and brought steamers
for hundreds Of miles around speed
tlg to the scene, what seems to have
been an impenetrable wall of silen1 e
was raised between her and the anx-
ious world. The giant liner, so far as
advices, appear, went to her fate with
out so much as a whisper of wha'
must have been the scenes of terrible
tragedy enacted on her decks.
In the lack of even a line from a
survivor, imagination pauses before
even trying to conjecture what passed
as the inevitable became known On
It was seen that Of the more than 2OcO
human lives with which she wos
freighted there could be no hope Ct
saving, as it appears, far less than IT,
half.
Other than the news that S6s per
sons, largely women and children, he'd (
been rescued from the liners boat.

hours passed without a word as to
the fate of the remainder of those on
board at the time Of the fateful crash.
