THE taste Of Paris designers has
i been called much in question Of

no longer pinned to 1t. But in Paris,

There are designers who are origi-
nal and also spectacular. No one
doubts their genius, but 1t does not
always blossom out into things beau
tiful. They launch many things which
are interesting. but are not followed,
except at a considerable distance.

GOAT AS A MILK PRODUCER
Germans Appreciate Animals Value,
and 1t Is Increasing In Popularity
In That Country.

The raising Of goats In Germany has
become increasingly popular during
the last 20 years. 1t Is claimed by
goat breeders that four goats are as
productive in milk as a medium-sized
COW, and that the milk possesses, be-
sides, a greater nutritive value. In
hospitals, children's homes, and houses
for the treatment of sickness, goats
milk Is often preferred, largely on &C
count of its purity and it's freedom
from tubercular infection. Goats pos
sess today as many advantages as a
household animal as they did In an
cient times in Asia Minor and Persia.
Two goats could furnish a small Ger
man household with milk, and the
cost of maintenance Is small. Trials
have been made in the vicinity of large
cities with goat dairies, but In almost
every case they had to be discontin-
ued on account Of losses. Such large
dairies have not been successful be-
cause large amounts of fodder had

A iounce Of lace falls from under
this fold and over q wide finishing fold
Of the brocade. This last fold ex-
tends from the right side to the left
over the drapery and terminates under
the crushed girdle just to the left
Of the front. The girdle is wide and
fastens at the back under q fat bow.
There is a faring lace collar GROSS
the back Of the neck, which is sup

general way for an older person. The
underbodice in this case would not
be made quite 80 high and the girdle
might be somewhat narrower. Drap-

fuller. But as it is 1t Is q tasteful

IN the matter of footwear there is a
j demand for fine finish, elaboration
IN design, and general elegance OF ap-
pearance that is spreading like news
of wal or the dancing craze. 1t keeps
the designers and manufacturers Of
shoes on the anxious seat, ever alert
to keep up with it. Milady Of leisure
and milady Of busy days are asking
for a few little things in this particu-
lar article Of apparel. Her shoes must
be shapely, substantial, becoming,
wellmade, out-of-the-ordinary, ex-
quisitely finished, elaborated with
contrasting materials and ornaments,
and, of all things, comfortable. For
who could tango in an illftting shoe?
Perhaps it is the craze for dancing
that has brought about this fastidious-
ness; if so, there Is one thing in its
favor, at least.
No matter how plain the taste Of
any careful dresser, no matter how un-
obtrusive mot to mention %unnotice-
able) her gown, just get a glimpse Of
her feet, and the chances are that you
will wonder at the amount Of style and
beauty she has managed to accomplish
in clothing them. Trim, silk-clad
ankles, faultless shoes with elegant
lines, and, very likely, brilliant buckles
of rhinestone or cut steel or plain
metal are there.
These buckles come twinkling along
the streets in the broad daylight, on
their way to the five-o'clock-tea, or the

classed as a "tie," but finished with:
buckles, and goes by the pretty, name
Of the "Mignon" tie. The vamp is Of
patent leather with figured cloth
quarters. One can buy shoes of this
kind with colored quarters, as well as
all black, for manufacturers make
them up with dark blue, green, purple,
gray or brown figured silk cloth with
black camp and heels. "t
From the standpoint Of economy, the
allblack shoe is the best choice, since
it Is dressy enough for any sort Of
dressy wear But for those who do
not need to consider the item Of price,
the colored quarter to match a cos
tune is worth considering, even II its
wear is limited.
Considering all that Is embodied in
shoes of this character, the prices
asked for them are not extravagant
They sell at ten dollars a pair, with
the cut rhinestone buckles included.
They are lined with satin to match
the color of the quarters. The buckles
are an item of considerable expense,
but their usefulness Is not confined to
one pair of shoes, or even to shoes at
all. JULIA BoTTOMLEY.

British ROYAL Academy,

The latest addition to membership
in the British Royal academy is Reg
inald T. Bloomfield, architect. The new
R. A. Is the son of the late rector Of
Arlington, Kent, and Is ffty-seven
years Of age. In 1911 he was presi-
dent Of the Royal Institute Of British
Architects. His principal works are
domestic architecture and garden de-
signs. He is the author of several
works on architecture. G. A. Storey,
A. R. A., has been appointed to the
professorship Of perspective at the
academy, which has been revived
after having been allowed to lapse
half a century ago. Turner was elect
ed to the professorship in 1908.

It is no doubt less palatable than

rope, where goats are much more
common than in Germany, it is used
chiefly for the manufacture of cheese.

and select channels by which they
might most safely descend the river.
They found the way rough, but tsey
nersisted and covered nearly ten miles.
Then because OF the difficult travelling
they determined that rather than re-
neat their experience they would scale
the canyon wall
They finally selected a place where
the precipice was not more than 200
feet high. Certain shoulders or rock

the work was comparatively easy. for
the jutting lodges were short and nu-

and points OF rock TO hold TO as they
climbed. But it always looked little

the men climbed confidently and stead

In following the "tllt' OF the hedges
the brothers had worked somewhat to
one side until they reached narrow

moments TO rest and steady theE

rocky wall above appeared to be uz-
scalable.
There was only one possible way to
ascend. A narrow opening In the face
OF the cliff, where column OF rock,
loosened by frost, had broken away
and tumbled into the canyons depths,
offered the only hope OF progress.
For forty feet or more the young
men followed that cleft until they
reached a narrow shelf, about fifteen
inches wide. directly beneath the final
rim OF the canyon. BY rising on tip
toe the taller OF the two men could
just reach the top with his fingers.
The rim OF the rock projected slightly
over the shelf on which the men stood.
One OF the brothers found a secure
hold for his hands and bent his knees
inward and his shoulders outward.
Then the other brother carefully
worked his way up between the cliff
and his brothers side, stepped first
on the latter's hip, then on his shout
