SHORT SKIRTS AND
 NOISY" SHOES AND HOSE

BECAUSE of the very short>skirt in
 vogue the style in footwear is the most pronounced ever shown. Even the plain black shoe is now supposed to have uppers of white or some color. The. really fashionable foot is g1oved rather than shod. for. the newest wrin- kle is the high boot. of soft kid which is neatly laced up the back by lace slip ped over the same kind of hooks as were worn upon the old fashioned gloves. No girl can lace this boot herself, and it has the faculty of coming unlaced frequently. The gallant who knee1s behind the fair lady to lace up her high boots has a less graceful task than when he merely stopped to tie her shoe.
 Many women will not wear the short skirt without high boots or else puttees or 1eggings worn over low shoes. When these Ieggings are white or light col ored the effect is rather startling at first As summer advances they will become to6 burdensoIne, and when low shoes are demanded for comfort Dame Fashion has provided the most bewil- dering lot of hosiery ever produced in

FROM YOUTH TO MlDDLEAGE

THE moment when one first feels % acutely that he is no longer young he is bound to make one pause in some thing akin to consternation. For vivid ness it is like a hash7of lightning across a black sky. Life no longer is all be- fore one; even more dreadful thought it may be mostly behindi
 After the first keen realization thera follows a bewildered state Of mind due to unwfIlingness-yess to an actual pug zIed inability to accept the truth. With all the agony of the startled call of a child at night the heart cries out 'It cannot be; it is not so.' Youth dies hard and fights and struggles in its dy- ing like an imprisoned bird Others even those near and dear are older, are even old; we can see that But how can the stubborn facts be true as to ourselves? Very gradually, little by little, fighting it's way inch by inch, the truth prevails and gnaws at the heart though only internationally, of course until time nuubs this emotion as 1t does every other one.-AtlanticM Monthly

EUGENE. once empress of the fA French. entered upon her ninetieth year May 4. passing the day at Earn borough, her country seat in England, in the midst of British soldiers quar- tered in the convalescent hospital which she has established in a wing of her house.
 An old woman, with snow white hair gathered into a tight little knob at the base of the neck. the eyes shielded by big goggles, and the forehead by the dropping black veil of an antfquated hat, the stout frame enveloped in the shapeless folds of a black woolen ulster and the throat swathed in a black woo1en nuf1er, the former empress made her appearance upon the lawn, where the men who were able to be wheeled out in invalid chairs awaited her. In one hand grasping the ancient umbrella, which has never been opened to any one's knowledgg being a sub- terfuge for a crutch, her companion for many years, and in the other the ebony cane. which is frankly an aid to inf1rrnity. she made her way among the soldiers. extending her hand in greet ing and receiving their congratulations with bowed head.

factories. Rainbow hued stockings and plain black hose with a choice serpent in yellow or green encirc1ing the ankle and extending partially around the calves are a little more extreme, though hardly, less startling than, those having the vivid clocks. Quiet colors are pro- vided for more refined tastes, with en- broidery delicate enough to capeivate the most Ifastidious woman.
 In spite of these extremes. the won- an who looks for dainty, sensible cloth ing at reasonable prices has little cause to complain. The new tailored suits combine style. utility and comfort. The skirts permit a. woman to leave or board a street car withoutPr risk of ac- cident, which has not been true for a number of years. Some of the newest models have generous pockets stitched securely in place, which are designed for use instead of ornament Accord ing to well known suffragist, the ad- dition of pockets to women's clothes; which will release them of the thra11- dom of carrying hand bags, will be al- most as great victory as their en- francIisement.

The tragic eyed nonagenarian dress ed in mourning, whose face is furrow- ed with care and figure bent with sor- row as well as age, bears today little trace of the radiant beatty which en- raptured the world when she was crowned as the consort of Napoleon III And the sick soldier boys in their rough khaki uniforms, who smiled gratefully upon her as their benefactor, bore small resemblance to the courtiers who used to crowd her salons at the palace of the Tuileries.

 For this reason most of the new bIouses are displayed in the shops on manikins or are folded deft1y into boxes. with enough crushed tissue pa per tucked under the fronts and into the sleeves to give the garment cer- tain shapeliness.

RICHARDSON COUNTY MAN
SWINDLED OUT OF FARM

STELLA, Neb., June 2-(Special. )-,John
Howater, who lives with Charles Smith
south OF Dawson. has been swindled out
of a Kinkaid homestead in Thomas
county, 1t is alleged. He proved up on the
640-acre tract, but owing to i'll health de-
cided to leave the sandhills country. A
man giving the name OF Willis and pur-
porting TO be from Seneca. Neb.. talked
him into trading the homestead for a
residence in Grand Island supposed to be
worth 5000. After the deed was made
and delivered another man came along
and described a splendid timber tract OF
$50 acres in Washington county, Georgia,
and induced Mr.. Howater to exchange
tho Grand Island residence for the Georgia
timber land. Mr. Howater then having
his horses, implements and potato crop
on his hands again met willis, the man
who had traded him out of his homestead.
Willis so he stated, had go acres which
Joined Mr.. Howaters new Georgia land,
and he traded this to him for the horses,
implements and potato crop.
Mr.. Howarth became suspicious and a
few weeks ago he took two warranty
deeds for $50 acres each to r. p. Page, a
real estate agent at Dawson. He found
the deeds faulty but the abstracts APP
peared genuine. He wrote the men who
gave the deeds. and the letters were re
turned undelivered. At last the agent
wrote to the treasurer of Washington
county. Georgia, who replied there was
no such land in the county as the deeds
described.
Mr. Howater Is nearly 80 years old and
unable to do any manual labor. An effort
will be made to see II there is some
way whereby he can recover his loss.
