MISS WENDELL'S SHOES
Vies with Mrs. Castle in Gre
ating New Fads.

Mrs. Vernon Castle does not monopo-
lie in the Watch Your Step" company
the privilege Of originating styles.
Bunny" Wendell (she looks like Billie
Burke and is the third from the left In
the Follow Me Around" NUMBER has
gone and started something herself in
the way of new fashion wrinkles; it's a
fad that every woman who likes TO be
considered in the vogue will be likely
to follow. Miss Wendell wears shoes OF
a different color every day in the week,
which doesn't mean that her right foot
covering doesn't match the left in TINT,
but that, whereas Miss Wendell. when
she takes her morning constitutional on
Broadway or Fifth Avenue on Monday
may be wearing gray oxfords, on Tues
day her peculiar costumlng VIII De plue
or green, and on Wednesday red or
brown, and on Thursday, Friday, Satur-
day or Sunday it will be something
else again"
Miss Wendell's fancy has always run
to shoes. She declares they are the
most distinguishing evidence OF
woman's taste, and that no matter now
well Quilted she may otherwise be, an
improperly or carelessly booted woman
conscientiously cannot be called well
dressed.
Of course. every pair of shoes in
Miss Wendell's wardrobe is worn with
an appropriate suit or gown, but the
rest Of a costume in her case is select
ed TO accord with the shoes, instead OF
the shoes being chosen to match the
dress. Also Miss Wendell has fund
of information as to how woman $
selection of color for her shoes should
be governed by the season, the weather,
the occasion and her own temperament,
all of which she threatens, just as soon
as she can find the time, TO set down
in a series of articles, the publication
of which she has already contracted for
with a fashion magazine.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Still Optimistic, but Buying Is Light and in Small
Lots for Immediate Needs Only Unemployment De-
creasng-Mlls Running on Longer Time.

New York. March J-Dun's review of
the week tomorrow will say:
Conditions in business are very much
mixed. Total transactions are still below
those of recent Years. There is a large
attendance of retail distributors in the
textile markets and they buy often. but
as a rule in comparatively small lots for
immediate needs. and keep their stocks
low.
Many of the cotton mills are running
on tuil time. There is a satisfactory
business in clothing.
silks are in fair demand. Some i'm
IprOVement is noted in the shoe industry.
but conditions are still far from normal.
The glass trade is in well-maintained
volume. Ship building is Very active.
Large sales of automobiles are reported.
Commodity prices generally are lower
Wheat has declined sharply as result
OF the allies, progress in the Dardanelles
foreshadOwing the release of Russian
wheat to the world. The steel trade is
gradually expanding and a hopeful feel
ing prevails.
Developments. however. are expected
to improve shortly. Pig iron production
IN February exceeded that of January:
more blast furnaces are in operation
and the consumption of coke is larger.
Conditions in anthracite coal are better.
The railroads. whose gross earnings now
show decline of 8 per cent from last
year. have bought over 10000 tons of
rails this year
Money is easy, but credits are extend
Ell only on conservative ba/S.
Failures are still numerous, though
they were less in February. both in
number and aggregate. of liabilities. than
IN January. The market for securities
is rendered inactive by the uncertainty
resulting from the perplexing war situa-
ton. but is quite firm: no sign of in
trinsic weakness appears. and there is
considerable investing in bonds"
