"A million and a half Socialists are

German voters" he said. Those who
are not fighting are working making

there are none left to observe the

Russia always has dreamed OF con .

NEW FOOTWEAR
Smart Spring STYLES

After the many strange styles of foot
gear which appeared in the fall and win
ter, nobody Is surprised at the new spring
models. a season or so ago they might
have astonished the most blase follower
of fashion, but not today. Speckled silk
stockings, stripes, changeable effects and
such have prepared us for the worst. And
the new footgear is not the worst, by any
means in fact, 1t Is very attractive and
alluring.
Boots will be worn this spring as much
as the low shoe. In fact they are much
neater in appearance with a tailored suit,
and the shoe trade will probably receive
boost when mlady buys both high and
low shoes. One lovely pair of boots was
fully eight inches high, with a two-lnch
Louis heel. 1t was made of pearl-gray
leather. with a perforated tip of patent
leather heel foxinG of the same fin

front.
low shoe was made in an imitation
of the four-eyelet Blucher pump, with
Spanish Louis heel. The most distinctive
thing about this model was the crimped
tongue, which was dovetailed into the lin
ing, leaving no seam over the instep.
A sternly military boot was made of
gunmetal or dreadnought gray kid. Pat

with braid, gave a very striking appear

pair of shoes do for long time, and is
far superior to the suede of year ago.
Grays, tans, all the sand and putty
shades, as well as combinations of various
colors with peau-de- -chamois yellow, will
be worn. White broadcloth, linen and

streets, and black and white checks are
good.

adverse criticism could affect them"
This attitude Is not quite understandable
to the ordinary mortal but it is surpris-
ins how many women do hold such view
point.
The woman who repeats or invents or
encourages scandal is doing double
wrong. For not only is she ninging stones
at the reputation of some quite probably
innocent person but at the same time she
is destroying illusions in the minds OF her
hearers. And the one thing that makes
this world a bright and sunny and habit

kindly and charitable thoughts. The

/ found It so chilly in town that the
very first thing did on my return from
Palm Beach was to buy a new spring
overcoat. 1t is of plaid, in large check
and looks very smart. The length Is
three quarters, two large patch pockets
are set on, and a wide, loose girdle comes
at the normal waist-llne.
Spring coats are seen everywhere just
now. Today mamma and went to call
on the Fitzgerald family and quite a
number of other people were there, |
saw ever so many coats, and they all
had the same tendencies. The sleeve set
in at the normal armhole is popular, and
is cut quite large and roomy SO that
the coat can be slipped on and off with
the greatest ease. Comfort in dress Is
the great thing after all, isn't It?
The three-quarter length coat is the
popular one for the spring Some shorter
models are seen, but for general wear
the new coats reach somewhere near the
level of the knees.
The people at the Fitzgerald home were
decidedly smart. AS for the family
themselves, they are a wild, Irish, harum-
scarum set. There are three unmarried
daughters who are the despair of their
parents and who will not take the slight

FASHION FORECAST
What Milady Wears

Velvets and muslins are used with equal
impartiality, when the season comes in,
but serge seems to be popular the whole
year around A serge gown may be worn
at any time. and it will look well.
The various weights in serge are made
to accommodate themselves to every cli-
mate. You can get the heavy weaves for
sport coats and the lightest, finest of
weaves for the street costume.
Most of the coors In use this spring
are those which our grandmothers wore.
Old shades in new guises are very much
in vogue.
The new spring checks are attracting
much attention, They come in pin checks
of black and white, dark blue and white
and the color known as string and white,
The most interesting part OF the new
checked materials is the fact that they
look like plain goods at a distance and
when the wearer approaches the checks
become gradually visible.
English club style is the name given TO
the large and rather striking checks
adapted to the topcoat of distinction.
"Art posy is the name given to some
of the newest lowered poplins, These are
going TO prevail in the early summer.
