FASHIONS DECREE IN SHOES
One May Have Choice Of Many Models
and Be Perfectly Confident Of
Their Fitness.

Button boots have always been the
rule for tailored suits, but recently
laced boots have been considered
smart.
A good-looking laced model in a
walking shoe with vamp Of demi-pat-
ent leather and gray calf uppers is
worn with gray. fur-trimmed cos
tune.
Another striking style is of Havana
brown kid. laced, nine inches high,
trimmed with perforated bands and
Louis heels.
Side lacings frequently, in fact as
a rule, appear in the high-grade shoes.
and while being very smart are not
conducive to ones peace OF mind
while performing this little detail OF
dressing.
The princess model frequently has a
black diamond on the toe. In white
kid this model is exceptionally attrac-
tive for dress wear.
In keeping with the fur craze. the
latest walking boot has bracelet OF
fur matching the peltry on the cos
tune.

PROPER WAY TO HANG SKIRT
Care Necessary II One Would Have Ii
Retain Its Original Shape-The
White Dress.

Every woman knows how hard it is
to hang up a skirt so that it retains its
original shape. Here is one way in
which it can be done:
Take an ordinary wooden coat-hang-
er and screw underneath the hanger
two small brass hooks about one inch
long. Place them at either side of the
center hook, at equal distances from
it. Hang the loops of the skirt on the
hooks. A jacket can be slipped on the
hanger without wrinkling the skirt.
To improve the shiny serge or cloth
lay it fiat on the table and pass a
piece of fine sandpaper very gently
over the shiny part. The sandpaper
will roughen up the nap again, but be
careful not to rub too hard, as it may
wear hole in your material.
When putting away white dresses
wrap them in dark blue cambria to
| prevent them from turning yellow. Pa
per can also be used and can be blued
by dipping in strong bluing water and
dried. Fine centerpieces and doilies
not in use should be kept wrapped in
dark blue tissue paper.-Farm and
Fireside.

AS an accentuation of the change
that has taken place in Juvenile
clothes, there is a new frock advanced
as the most correct model for
spring; it is made of brown gaberdine
embroidered in yellow, with yellow
satin blouse.
The use of this fabric and this color
is unusual in children's clothes, and
it shows that We are tending away
from the conventional theories OF
what should be worn and dipping
into the region OF the unknown. 1t
is quite true that the tiniest young
sters have WORE wooden clothes when
no attempt wan made for fashion and
only comfort and health were con-
sidered; but whenever there was even
the smallest altar to fashion raised
in the sewing room, small children
were kept to washable materials.
Another new frock for children
that is quite different from the ordi-
nary and shows the new movement
toward originality. has tight-fitting
bodice OF blue velvet with blue-and-
white checked taffeta skirt. One of
the most startling house gowns that
has been invented for children which
was worn as a page costume at a
smart wedding, had skirt built of
many ruffles of white silk net, topped
by a short, white satin bodice with

Paper BAGS for Breastwork.

Owing to the limited supply of cot
ton In Germany the sand bags used In
constructing breastworks are now be-
ing made OF specially-prepared paper,
according TO the Wall Street Journal.
Experience has. proved that these new
paper bags are much superior to COZ
ton bags for durability. and cost less.
After cotton bags have been in use
for some time they wear out from ex-
posure and must be replaced. The cot
ton bags are now being replaced by
paper bags. These new bags have
been scientifically prepared, are water
proof and may be used over and over
again. being practically indestructible
Millions OF these bags are being used
in place OF the cotton ones, which
means quite a saving both In cotton

gown was an exact replica OF the
most fashionable frock that is being
worn by young women OF twenty. and
yet, the interesting fact about II was
that the dress was definitely youth
full. In addition TO q few pink rose
buds. a pair of flesh pink socks ana
heelless. white satin slippers with
ankle straps took oil the sophisti-
cation away from the frock.
The milliners have kept up with the
drcssmakers in devising new kinds OF
things for children, and one OF the
new straw hats to be exploited in the
spring has tulle crown through
which the hair shows. AS n rule.
quantities of tulle are not used in
Juvenile hats. although miles OF II
have been employed everywhere else
The fashion for colored worstod flow
ers has crept into small hats, but
many OF the critics have regarded II
as more suitable there than anywhere
else.
or course, the present fashion for
shocking spreads over into young
sters clothes, and the brilliant
smocks OF colored satin and crepe de
chine have been initiated In small
frocks. Entire frocks OF pale yellow

shocked mt the shoulders. the wrists

VISITING FRIENDS IN DREAMS
English Experimental Asserts That ~
Can Be Done Through the Ex-
ercise of Will Power.

That a person can visit distant
friends and see what they are doing,
il one only wills TO do so. is the state
ment of an English experimenter in
the mystery of dreams. 1t is appa-
rently kind of dream" telepathy, be-
cause TO carry il out successfully both
parties must be willing 10 receive or
TO transmit the message. Curious
enough, who is TO be the transmitter
and who is to be the receiver can only
be decided when the experiment is
carried out The following is an ex-
ample of the strange means of CON-
munication which was carried OUT as
an experiment:
The experimenters were lady and
a gentleman. They were friends, but
not in any way related. nor were they
lovers. The man lived in London and
was a bachelor; the lady in Liverpool.
They mutually agreed that on a GER
tain night, at a given hour, they would
try to see in sleep what the other
was doing and what were the sur
roundings of each. The man went TO
sleep in London, as usual. and
dreamed not at all, although trying to
do so. In the morning he decided that
the experiment had failed.
What was his surprise. however, to
get a letter from his friend in Liver
pool the following day, in which she
gave an account of all his acts before
he went to bed, and described his
room accurately, even to the detail
of a brown, well-worn carpet being
mended with a bit of scarlet felt. She
had never been in his rooms nor heard
what they were like yet she was able
in a dream to see in Liverpool what
he was doing in London. How it was
that she could see when he could not,
has yet to be discovered
This dream sight would be Of much
comfort at the present time when one
longs to know if the dear ones at the
war are safe, and doubtless the sol
diers would be cheered by a vision oil
those at home. Thus telepathic dream
ing might be worth while cultivating
but to be successful ii must be quite
natural. The will power must be under
the complete control of the sleeper
and not interfered with by any out
side inteligences. and both parties
must arrange the hour they intend L
put the experiment into practice.
