fragist, Miss LAWN has settled down to
study all about the question and read
pages and pages of suffrage literature"
With smile she pointed to shelf filed
with suffrage books and at the same
time with determination in her looks,
said resolutely. 'T am going to know all
that's in those"
Though she has but recently become a
suffragist, Miss LAWN was not at all
reticent in speaking of votes for women.
In fact, her enthusiasm so gets the bet
ter of her that she admits that she
could talk about 1t forever" While
discussing the matter. she said there is
one thing that irks her and that is the
statements made so often by persons op-
posed to the "cause" that women will
lose their fomininity II given the vote.
why, it's absurd" she said with an
angry touch to her voice and then added
naively to prove her statement,
"Femininity Is one of woman's chief
charms and what woman would do any
thing that would cause her to lose her
charms !"
She is sure that what women want first
of all is a home of their own, and that
giving them the vote will aid them ma
terially in getting this. 1t will help to
raise wages and indirectly give more
couples the means to marry who now
are forced to remain single on account
of the lack of funds. It will be a home
builder and not a home destroyer. For"
she said with a slight blush, "one of
woman's highest ambitions is to marry
and she will try TO make conditions per-
missive of this"

MY LADY DISCARDS
HER BACK-LACED SHOES
Side-Laced Footwear Also Gives
Way to Conservative and
Sensible Style.

II moral terror has been clutching at
your heart strings at the thought of de-
veloping curvature of the spine from lac
ing your pedal eXtremities up the back,
cheer up! Hope has appeared on the
horizon. 1t takes the shape Of a pro-
nunciamento from leading shoe manu-
facturers who have met together re-
Gently in solemn council. 1t DEGREES war
to the bitter end on the laced-up-the-
back variety OF shoe and its sister. the
side-laced kind.
The mandate has been issued that the
shoe of the coming season will be neat,
but not gaudy. 1t will be black, first of
all, and tan, secondly. But there will
be no mixtures. Mammals sand-colored,
laced-up-the-backs will be decidedly
passe, and MRudie's magenta side-har-
messed ones, which she bought to match
her new taffeta, can turn their toes up
to the daisies, as far as Dame Fashion
is concerned.
In short, the feminine world, after n
season of hectic styles in footgear, is
facing a conservative era. Femlnism and
the growing sensibleness of women In
general, is responsible in some measure
for the reactionary move according to
the shoe dealers.
1--WE can't launch the freak styles with
the same degree of success that we used
to-" local expert said, because the
women of today won't fall for them. A
few who have more money than they
know what to do with will wear the
outer laced up the back and side kind.
but the average woman on whom we de-
pend for the bulk of our trade, can't be
induced to consider them.
Manufacturers are beginning to realize
this and, as result, they are expending
their best efforts in making attractive
conservative shoes. The fall styles will
show this"
Despite the fact. however. that women
In general have turned their backs on
freak shoes. the kind that they want ae-
cording to the makers, is not the big,
sprawly, mannish boot with square toes
and fiat heels, Of mudscow proportions.
As conceived by the manufacturers for
the fall trade the new shoe win be a
long-vamped, medium French heeled af-
fair with the receding toe, to impart an
air OF slim elegance. Black is the pre-
ferred color, though tan will be put out
for walking and business purposes.
