kps 1, WHAT PARIS FAvoRs. Aa!
" In Paris, where extreme styles
make their first appearance, the san
dal slipper and other low-cut effects
are meeting with approval. One of
these, buttoned strap sandal, has
bracelet strap around the ankle with
small ornamental buckles; the brace
let and the buttoned straps assuring
a perfect fit across the foot. Even

broidered is another Paris note Sill

often worn with stockings to match,

mentation.
Dr.. STYLES FOR MEN.
y While the style tendency in mems
footwear is not as in women's, to-
ward extreme novelty of effect, there
is evidence of a stronger style in
fuence than formerly. Men, too,
have succumbed to the dancing
craze, and this has meant that the
shops have increased their sale of
patent leather pumps and dressy
boots. In fact, patent leather is one
of the strong items in mems fall
styles.
! Buttoned effects is the final word
, in mems boots, just as in women's,
whether for dress or for every day
wear.
] One note of novelty that is quite
ievident in masculine footwear is the
Vogue for colored tops of suede or
cloth. In fact, the increasing de-
mand for cloth and suede tops makes
the button style all the more fashion
able, though these colored tops are
/ found in lace shoes, too. In these
combinations Russia tan calf uppers
are often found with black patent
leather and dull leather.
/ The English last, which is built on
straight lines, meets high style de-
mand; while the so-called French last
is also in vogue, with its duck-bill

than ever. at least our footwear
~ is becoming more and more a
thing of beauty-those of us who are
women-for style demands it. First of
all, the trend of style in the skirts Of
rather than less display of the feet
and ankles, has stimulated the de-
mand for attractive shoes of all types.
Then some parts of the country have
gone dancing mad and this craze has
had more than anything else to do
with the bringing in of novel and
striking styles. ~.
W THE BUTTONED VOGUE. w
" In line with this demand for smart
effects comes the fall vogue of the
buttoned boot, type of shoe that
gives an inimitable trimness to the
foot and ankle and adds the right
touch of chic to any costume. Even
in low shoes the button and simu-
lated button effects have the best style
value. y
Long narrow slender lines prevail
in the fall fashions, with plain toes
preferred and the slender heel-the
Cuban Louis or the modified Louis
most stylish. One secret of success
in selecting these styles that tend
away from the normal shape OF the
foot is to get sufficient breadth. Me-
dunn round toes and medium vamps
haye considerable style value in many
parts of the country. T. h

cloth in tones to match the costume,
in gray or tan suede. In low-cut
models, too, this same bright color
tendency prevails.
Turned soles are in high style de-
mand for dressy use, since they fol-
low the edict of lightness and airi-
ness that naturally follows the color
vogue and the novelty of effect in
design. Welted soles, to be sure, are
still the thing for practical wear. 4.

season Buckles are being left off and
ornaments, when used at all, are very

Little Rock, Jan. 29.-The Legisla-
ture Of 1915 will be called upon to
make further provisions for carrying
out the purposes of the electrocution
act. One of the necessary changes
will be the provision for more death
cells at the penitentiary. At present
there are only two cells that can be
used for this purpose, one for white
and one for colored. There are now
three white men in one cell awaiting
their call to the electric chair. and
two negroes in the other cell. There
are probably a score of men in the
state under indictment for capital
crimes, and the spring courts will
condemn more men to death than the
penitentiary has facilities to accom-
modate as contemplated by the cleo

UNLAWFUL TO SELL
SODA WATER OR CIGARS
Attorney General States that Law is
Generally Ignored But Expresses
Opinion That Grand Juries
are Negligent

Attorney General Moose has deliv-
cred an opinion that it is unlawful to
sell soda-water or cigars on Sunday
A few days ago he decided that it
is violation of the law to operate a
livery stable on Sunday.
He admits that the law is quite
generally ignored, but expresses the
opinion that grand juries are negli-
gent of their duty when they fail to
prosecute.
His latest opinion addressed to Dr.
/ G. Gorham of Wilton, is as follows
"In regard to the selling of cold
drinks and cigars on Sunday, | have
the honor to state that in my opinion
it is a violation of the law to operate
a soda-fountain on Sunday, or to sell
cigars on that day. The law is ig-
nored in many places in the state,
particularly in the larger cities, but
the fact that the law is not observed
would not excuse one in case the
grand jury should indict him or in
case he should be arrested upon the
charge of Sabbath breaking.
