OCEAN SPRINGS GIRL
SOUGHT BY MOTHER

Biloxi, Miss, March 20.--Annie
Ward, young girl who came to
Biloxi Friday night and said she was
from Pensacola and had reached
Ocean Springs penniless to meet an
aunt who had gone to New Orleans,
was in reality from Ocean Springs
This was learned shortly after she
departed on a purse made up by
kind-hearted Biloxians. Her mother
lives in Ocean Springs and asked
that the girl be returned to that
place, but she had already left.
Wires were sent to Mobile asking
that she be detained there and sent
to her home in Ocean Springs.

freed of ticks, as follows: All Of
Florida and Louisiana, the greater
portions Of Alabama, Arkansas, Geor-
gia, Mississippi Oklahoma, South
Carolina, and Texas, less than hall
of North Carolina, few counties
in Virginia, one county (San Diego
in California, and a small area in
Ripley county. Mo. Cattle from

|U. S DREDCE BOAT
DOING FINE WORK

In an article in the Manufacturer.
Record, published at Baltimore,
Judge Chas. E. Chidsey attracted at.
tention to Pascagoula by describing
the work beng done here bv thu
United States dredQeboat "Pasca.
goula.' In it he says:
The United States dredgeboat Pas
cagoula is doing rather interesting
piece Of work here. 1t is cutting 4
channel across the East Pascagoula
River, just 100 yards north Of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
bridge, from Lowery Island on the
west side Of the river to this city, in
order to put down 2 IL inch
water main that is to convey water
from the water-w orks in the city to
the marine docks that the United
States Government has under con:
struction on Lowery Island. The
distance across the river IRON shore
to shore is 800 feet, and the depth
Of the river at this point is g feet,
but the channel for the water pipe
will be 80 feet, or seven feet below
the bed Of the river, so as to be free
from danger Of breaking in any future
dredging that may be done in the
channel.
As soon as the water main Is laid
active work will begin on the marine
docks on Lowery Island, which have
been delayed owing to the want Of
an appropriation. Several years ago
the United States bought a strip Of
land on this island, where it had dug
marine Sits preparatory to putting
in its docks, the docks when com.
pleted to be used for the repairing
of pontoons, dredgeboats, revenue
cutters, lighthouse tenders and other
light craft used in the Government
service, The water will come from
the water.works, that are the prop.
erty Of the Pascagoula Street Rail-
way and Power Company.
The dredgeboat that is doing this
work was designed by W. A. Farmer
Of this city, working under the direc'
tions Of Lieutenant Caples Of the
United States Engineer Corps, and
was built and equipped by the Elec-
trio Machine Company Of Baltimore,
Nd, Mr.. Farmer living in that city
while the work Of construction was
going on. The Paseagoula is regard.
ed as one of the finest boats of its
kind that has ever been built, an1 a
model Of ito kind. 1t is constructed
of steel, $50 feet long. 50 feet beam
and 10 IL feet depth Of hold. She
is fitted up with the most modern
machinery, and is 2O-inch suction

and cost delivered in the city of Bal.

This dredg. was built especially fol
the harbor work Of Pascagoula,

her effectiveness, taking from thu

Press committee, Misses Eva Val.
verde and Hulda Denny.
At an enthusiastic meeting 0l
philosophical ladies held Friday
afternoon in the Court House the
Pascagoula Civic League was organ
lied with a charter membership Of
twenty-five. From the spirit dis
played at the meeting it is evident
that the organization is going to do
things at once toward beautifying
and making healthier the city Of Pas
cagoula.
Prof. S. P. Walker called the
meeting to order and presided until
after the league was organized. In
opening, Prof. Walker made an in
teresting talk, during which he stated
he was present as a representative
Of the Business League and that the
league would do all in its power to
help the new organization in its un-
dertakings. He urged the ladies' to
act without fear or favor and said if
they did, Pascagoula could be made
one Of the prettiest and healthiest
cities in the country.
Mrs. Guy D. Dean responded
with an interesting address, which
follows:
What the church is to the moral
uplift Of a community the civic
league is to the physical beauty of a
city; and as the pastor does not
make the church, but the activity Of
Its members, just so will the presi-
dent and a few committees of a civic
league fail in their efforts without
the enthusiasm of each and every
Lacquer.
Before disbanding this afternoon
we want the largest membership on
South Mississippi's records. Even
though you feel that you cannot
hold an office or act on a committee,
your very presence at our meetings
and your name on our roll will help
q agreat deal.
i am sure. that ! voice the senti-
ments Of every one present in thank
ing Prot. Walker for his helpful
words. And in assuring him, that
we shall make every effort to merit
the confidence bestowed upon US by
a.
the mems business league.
Tie more |. read of the civic
league movement the broader seems

town taking up a different line Of
work. Some leagues work for clean
Streets, garbage cans and monthly
eiean-up days., while others direcI
their efforts toward public parks,

TREND IN LASTS.

AS to the proper lasts, in the more
expensive shoe the narrow recede toe
predominates 1t seems likely, too, that
for those who are always interested in
the high style ideas, 10 and I2-button
shoes will be worn to considerable
extent This is in keeping with the
tendency toward lower tops, but the
popular height will unquestionably be
IA buttons.
The medium round and medium high
toe, which is sensible, comfortable and
attractive in appearance, will continue
to be popular with large number of
women, especially in communities out
side of few of the larger cities.
There are also a number of attractive
patterns of laced boots being shown in
the retail shops. These are designed
largely for heavy winter walking-boots
Milady has found that for bad weather,
for slush and rain. heavy boot is by
far the most satisf actory Therefore,
for women who are likely to be out or
bad days this type of boot must continue
to be popular.
AS yet, there is an undeniable ten
dency, especially among the higher
grade shoes, to lighter footwear than
has been worn for the past few seasons.
This tendency is expressed in the re-
vival OF the turned sole footwear, with
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-09-16

Solors and designs. Tan boots will also
be worn, to some extent, for early fall
Indeed, it is becoming a common thing
for a woman to have several pairs OF
boots and, to a large extent, she plans
to have her footwear, her hosiery and
her gown in harmonizing if not actually
matching colors.

JUDGE man by his companions
- and woman by her shoes"
Perhaps that is carrying symbolism a
long way, and yet there is no doubt that
a good many women are judged by the
way in which their feet are shod.
For some years past the matter of a
lady's shoes as a.most important part of
her costume have been receiving more
and more attention For the coming fall
and winter the styles are especially at
tractive, with a range of patterns and
materials which affords excellent oppor-
tunity for satisfying the most discrimi-
mating. There probably never was a
time when the retail shoe shops showed
a better variety of stylish footwear for

CLOTH-TOPS POPULAR

The leading material for fall will be
gun metal and patent calf feathers for
vamps with cloth tops. In fact, one of
the features of the coming season will
be shoes with cloth-topping. Fashion
has decreed it and well-dressed women
have taken to it strongf&<
While plain black corkscrew cloth will
be largely in evidence, attractive nov
eltv effects will also be used in both

THE STANDARD DRESS SHOE.

Cloth-top shoes will also be shown
and worn to a considerably larger ex-
tent than during previous seasons. One
of the types which is very much in evil
dence this season is the boot with pat
ent vamp, plain toe and black cioth-top
for evening wear and formal occasions.
This style is being taken up all over the
country and is practically the standard
for formal dress

BUTTON BOOTS PREDOMINANT.

BUTTON BOOTS PREDoMINATE
This year everything is buttons. The
button boot has been gaining in popu-
larity for some time but it has never
predominated SO distinctly as style as
at the present time, when probably from
Is to 90 per cent. of all the women's
shoes are made in the button pattern;
and as the follower OF styles keep his
ear very close to the ground there is no
better indication as to what will be worn
than this overwhelming tendency to-
wards the button boot
This does not necessarily NEAR =

cLorH-roP NOVELTIES.

Some very attractive novelty effects
are shown in patent or gun metal vamps
with vesting whipcord or ribbed cloth
tops in light shades, principally gray
and brown. The lasts for men show a
predominance of the narrow recede toe
and the fat English last. These have
come very much in favor during the
past few seasons and threaten during
the coming fall and winter to increase
their popularity decidedly. But the me-
dunn round. medium high toe is still
popular in some sections of the coun-
try. Indeed. it is pretty safe to predict
in mems styles that comfort has come
to be considered to a large extent The
percentage of men who will wear shoe
merely because il is stylish is decidedly
in the minority. There seem to be some
types of feet which are not formed to
wear English-cut shoes with any lasting
degree of comfort
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-09-16

sameness of pattern, Cor while this type
prevails, it is made up in SO many COM
binations and so many varied effects
that there is a very wide range to choose
from.

light, flexible soles. Shoes of this char
acter carry the smart heels known as
Louis and kidney, or wide top lift types
One of the most important factors in
women's footwear is the much larger
use of evening slippers. The stores are
showing unusually large and attractive
assortments of evening footwear We
spoke before of the tendency to match
hosiery, footwear and gowns. In even
ing slippers this amounts almost to a
necessity. Very few women at all in
terested in fashion care to wear an
evening gown with slippers other than
those matching the dress. Perhaps this
has led to the carrying out of the idea
also for street wear In either case, it
undoubtedly adds greatly to a stylish
costume to have shoes and hosiery in
the same color The exception to this
rule is the vogue of white hosiery with
black shoes which is very smart at pres

STYLES FOR MEN.

STYLES FOR MEN
Men, as a rule. are not quite as sus-
ceptible to quick style changes as
women, and yet in footwear they are
certainly taking notice" this season.
While there is not quite as wide
variety of mems footwear shown in the
retail shops, the range is big enough
for personality to make itself felt in the
choice of the proper shoe.
In general, the style lines are very
much the same as in women's footwear.
Button boots are, and will be, popular.
But the men will wear a greater pro-
portion of laced shoes than the women.
1t is hard to figure just why this should
be true, for the button boot most as
suredly is the trimmer of the two. But
for some reason men have never got on
the same friendly terms with the but
ton boot. Perhaps it is just plain, natu-
raj laziness, which. in the present day
and generation, generally goes under the
head of efficiency or cutting out the
waste motion" But if broken laces are
taken into consideration but little differ
ence in labor is found to exist between
the labor of button and lace attach
ments.
In the lace types there is tendency
to make the ball patterns more popular
than the blucher pattern.
AS to feathers, gun metal and patent

feathers decidedly have the popular YER
dict. But tan calf will also be used.
probably to a greater extent by men
than by women.

SLIPPER ORNAMENTS POPULAR.

Many of the retailers are carrying
large assortments of slipper ornaments
made of cut steel, rhinestones and vari-
Gus other materials. These are exceed
ingly popular. Indeed, very large per-
centage of evening slippers carry some
such ornamentation
Even in respect to the heels of the
hoes there is a tendency towards the
unusual, and in some cases the heels are
made to match the buckle. Of course.
this is rather extreme, but it is not the
limit to which style can go, for. in some
cases, evening slippers are being made
with hand-painted china heels of color
and designs to match the body of the
slipper. This affords an opportunity for
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-09-16

style individuality in the buying of sep
arate buckles and attaching them to the
slipper. In this manner women can Sc
cure variety OF style effects with one
pair of plain satin opera style slippers
as basis. Good quality and good style
slippers of this type are now procurable
at moderate prices.
