Fashion Chatter
By JEAN ELIOT.

Boots. to bc smart this season, must
have cloth about them. Yes. even slip
pers and house shoes are piebaId, while
the fashionable street boots resemble
specimens OF the inlayers art, with plain
cloth uppers, colcred gaiters, simulated
gniters and set in pieces of cloth, much
in evidence. White spats are seen, but
are TOO striking to be really popular,
while fawn color and sundry grays are
quite the mode.
Leather. 1t seems is scarce and rap
Idly becoming scarcer, SO manufacturers
agreed that it must be conserved and
substitutes used wherever possible,
hence the vogue of cloth. At first mod
els were made up i'm modest designs at
very reasonable prices, for cloth in it's
various forms is cheaper than leather;
but the public would have none of them
at any price. Later came a deIuge of
daring and original confections. for
which the dealers asked two prices, and
the deed was done. The public which
refused to be coerced consented with en-
thusiasm to being cajoled. Many of
the models are undeniably smart, but
there are a hundred ways Of going
, wrong and each is seized upon by a sec
ton of the feminine world.
The plain dull kid walking boot, SIM
pie and well cut for street wear seems to
be thing Of the past. most regrettably
from my point of view; and whoever re-
sists the lure of the parti-colored charm
ei Is uTiEen 10 the nat neele0 SnOe, Wnlc n
may be sensible, but is far from beauti-
frll.
For the rest fashions seem to have
c"yStalized and to be much less outrage
Gus than the early models promised.
Moreover. there Is pleasing latitude
which allows for the selection of be-
Cn'-ing styles. Skirts are short, but
they are not the ballet skirts, predicted
by some of the French fashion authori-
tics. Goats are long. many of them, but
some Of the most attractive models are
made with hip-length jackets. and even
ing frocks are mostly variations of the
basque idea with fluffy skirts of the
or chiffon.
Miss Edythe Howard is wearing a
handsome suit of tete-de-negre serge.
which shows bv a dozen subtle touches
that it is the creation of the moment
though ii incarnates none Of the COM
ntCnplace ideas of the mode of the mo-
mont. The skirt is entirely guiltless OF
tunic and is quite straight up and
down, and narrow at the hem. The coat
reaches to the hips, is plain ana semi
fitting in it's lines and belted across the
. back. Miss Howard wears with this
cn,inently sensible and attractive gown
y smalI tri-Corne hat Of brown velvet,
with band Of skunk and one gold rose
tucked over her eyes.
Miss Dorothy Owen, daughter of Sen
ator and Mrs Robert J.. Owen, has one
of the most unusual hats 7 have seen
this season. II is 3 brOad-hrimmed
sailor of dove-gray French felt, worn
cooked over one ear, and trimmed sole
" with a narrow black band. There is
some sort of a steel ornament in front.
Miss owen wears with this interest
inc chapeau a green cloth suit, made
with a very full skirt. The coat has
a postilion effect in the back.

Once upon time there was a Prin-
cess who declared she would never
marry until she could find a husband
that was without faults.
Many came to the palace and paid a
visit of inspection. but they all had
some faults in the eyes of the Princess.
One day a carriage stopped and a
youth got out. The Princess was watch
ing him from a window behind a cur
tain. but was surprised when she heard
him ask the way to town instead OF
asking for her.
II have lost my way" she heard him
say.
She was a little vexed as well as sur
prised. and she hurried downstairs and
told the servant to ask him to wait
and have some refreshments.
