As USUAL, MEN were
LATE ON this JOB

Though for weeks announcement
had been made that the men of Dia-
mond State Grange would entertain
the women members of the grange at
their regular meeting last night, when
the meeting started not a man was
present. With the uncanny knowledge
of their sex, however. Mrs. and Miss
Grange looked knowingly at each 9TH
er, wisely nodded their heads and the
gentle whisper went around the room,
cold feet"
However, history has as yet to re-
cord a time when woman was deferred
from anything by a mere man, and
so the business of the Grange calmly
went forward, with Mrs. f. c. Nit
chell acting, in an unrufiied manner,
as master, while Miss Nettie Hanna
acted as overseer. Miss Eta Cranston
was steward, Miss Helen McCallister
was gatekeeper and Miss Clara Stroud
was assistant steward.
Just before the end of the business
session the men trooped in one by one
and the entertainment they finally
presented proved thoroughly enjoy
able, Refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served by the men.
During the evening announcement
was made of an entertainment and
parcel post sale to be held on May 10.

is. the coming Saturday. On that day
shoe merchants throughout the city
expect TO do a big business in low
shoes On that day high shoes
should be generally discarded for the
more comfortable and seasOnable Ok
ford. Shoe dealers are making spe-
cial arrangements for displays of low
shoes for the latter part Of the pres
ent week.
While Saturday has been desig-
mated as Oxford Day many shoe deal
ers have their low shoe displays
ready for the inspection of the public.
In fact the present warm spell has
served to bring out many buyers. IL
Is rare that one sees such a general
showing OF straws among the men.
Straw Hat Day for years falling on
May Is. Low shoes make their ap-
pearance usually about two weeks to
three weeks before the straw hat
appears Weather conditions. how
ever, caused a change In the order Of
things as they prevailed in past years
Consequently shoe dealers are making
unusual efforts to make oxford Day a
big success. II is expected, that their
work will not be in vain and that on
next Sunday should the weather per-
nit, few high shoes will be seen on
the streets. Shoe store windows will
have Oh display the latest in low shoes
this week.
Never has there been such an array
of styles In low shoes than this year.
There is no limit to the assortment
| for either men, women or children.
John w. Loud, manager Of the Ed
ward w. Pyle and Company, estab-
lishment, at No. 619 Market street,
when seen today by a representative
of THE EVENING JOURNAL, said
concerning the styles of this year:
with reference to mems low shoes,
/ find that black and tan feathers on
English lasts. with narrow toe and fiat
heels with broad shanks are extreme
ly popular Cloth and buck top are
being used a great deal especially
among the young men who like drossy
shoes. Glazed kid is being worn more
i'm Oxfords from the fact that this
leather is very cool and flexible to the
foot White buck and canvas oxfords
will be worn more this season than
ever. particularly since the Palm
/, Beach suits for men have come to be
| the thing for hot weather. The Palm
Beach oxford will be worn quite ex-
tensively. They Go not show the sol
!, Sc quickly"
Speaking Of women's shoes. Mr.
Loud said:
"Women's oxford pumps and san
dal straps are the newest for wo
men. These are made in grey an,
fawn tops. others in sand and putt,
colors, kid quarters with patent ant
dull leather vamps. There are othei
styles OF black, with trimmings o
, white, which is much used. Th,
white pumps and Oxfords in Bucl
! skin. linen and canvas will be useC
more this season than ever before
The Louis Cuban heel makes tn,
ladies' low shoes airy and light. The
rubber and felt soles for outing pur
poses are very popular this season
"Oxford, sandals and pumps fol
boys. misses and children" said Mr.
V Loud. "are along the same lines al
> the men and women's shoes. Their,
is quite a demand for outing shoes
this season such as rubber and sof
leather tan oxfords."
