Only Chanued One Shoe.

While AN East side matron was BUS
lily preparing Ia GO to the theater the
other afternoon gossipy neighbor
came 10 the front door. The woman
stopped in the middle OF the process
OF putting on her best shoes and
talked to the neighbor for some time
When the neighbor left she looked at
the clock and saw she would have to
hurry. So she hastily finished dress
ing and made a dash for the car
She noticed a young man watched
her all the way downtown. She
searched her coat thoroughly for a
stray raveling, but found none.
After attending the theater she
boarded car and still noticed that
she attracted attention. She followed
one girls eye and saw that it centered
on the bottom OF her dress. Looking
To discover the cause she found that
in her haste she had only changed one
of her shoes and on her left she wore
patent kid shoe, while on the other
there was a gunmetal calf shoe.-In-
