His disjointed words created great
commotion in the room, but he could
only announce a vague prospect OF
something definite being done. Putting
an arm around his sisters shoulders,
he was about to give her a reassuring
kiss when his hand encountered some
thing which resembled piece of fold

blouse. A second later he was reading
a note which had been sent to Mr..

NOVEL LADIES' FOOTWEAR.

The shortness and the fippant far
ing of the skirts make it quite neces-
sary that shoes. slippers, stockings
and anything else that might be in
Guided in the term footwear should
be of the neatest, as we'll as the
smartest, variety. Women are now
beginning to think of the low shoe
that is TO take the place of the ten
and fifteen inch boot which has been
worn during the last season. An eX-
ample of the smartest model in pumps
was seen recently. The pumps were
made of white buckskin and had for
an unusual trimming two inserts of
black patent leather right across the
front Of each shoe. The black note
was again introduced in the heel.
The manufacturers of footwear have
been more successful than ever this
year in making pumps that fit snugly
and yet comfortably. To gain this
feature it is necessary TO make them
higher, especially at the front. Their
efforts are really directed toward
smartness of cut rather than diversity
of trimmings.
On many of the Colonial pumps
buckles of leather, steel and silver are
used. .... ..... .....

Constructive Beauty Hints

days, or a week, and simply start at
the foundations, and beautify herself.
Houses do not need the seminar
nual tearing up called housekeeping
except to this extent-that the
change from hot to cold or cold to
hot weather means the changing Of
curtains and portieres and carpets,
the cleaning up after the furnace is
out, or started. Some extra work is
needed in even the best-tended
houses. So with the woman. She
may keep herself in excellent condi-
tion-but at the beginning of sum-
mer, and the start Of winter, she
should take extra care of her looks.
For one reason, the blood thins for
hot weather, and thickens for cold.
This means slight congestion, pos
sibly pimples, while the rich blood Of
the winter is thinning, and likely a
touch Of anemia, late in the fall. At
each season, the body is more sensi-
tive to colds and throat troubles and
such illnesses, the digestion needs
extra care. And it is good time to
put ones self in the pink Of condi-
ton for the new season.
So, for a few days, we'll run over
some of the things one can do, to i'm
prove health and looks-things that
will not keep woman before the
mirror, fussing over her appearance,
to the neglect Of other occupations.

STRIPES ARE STRIKING.

Stripes are in striking evidence
wherever one notes new models. Not
only do they dominate all the fabrics
and styles in sport clothes, but they
have invaded the conservative terri.
tory of street costumes, afternoon
dresses and even the dainty evening
frOckS,
1t must be said in their favor that
they lend certain dash and verve to
the seasons fashions. Perhaps this
is due to the fact that the striped ma
terials are associated mostly with
monotone fabrics and in this way a
balance is struck which serves to
maintain a sense of proportion in color
balance and to preserve a degree Of
sanity in dress which otherwise might
not be possible.

ENCOURAGE RIFLE CLUBS.

The movement forming rifle clubs Is
one to be encouraged. 1t is by way of
real preparedness and vastly different
from system of militarism. So far
every one may follow the recommends
tions of the army set and the mill
tarists.
Learning to shoot doesn't necessarily
mean learning to kill in battle. 1t is
a sort of military athletics as removed
from the war spirit as training the
body Is from pugilism. But it comes
handy, like an athletic body when as
saulted. a nation that can shoot
straight will always be able to give q
good account of itself in defense.
And rifle shooting is among the best
of sports. 1t should be out of doors
and at military ranges. even longer.
Whoever has engaged in long range
rifle shooting and acquired degree Of
skill knows the fascination of the

IN The BLIND ALlSY.

MIR. Bryan may comfort himself with
the reflection that despite his i'll adj
vised treaty with Colombia his incum-
bency OF the state secretaryship in
volved his country in no situation
comparable in it's embarrassment with
the blind alley Lansing and Wilson
have managed to put the Z. S. in the
armed merchant ship controversy.
The president was right and had the
unqualified support Of the people in
his contention that merchant ships
must be stopped and warned against
resistance and opportunity given for
saving life before the ships were de-
stroyed. But this armed merchant
man conclusion Of Wilson's and Lam
sings is a proposition altogether diff
ferent.
II the United States were at war
would it give armed vessels. whether
merchantmen or warships, opportunity
and privilege to sink our submarines
along our own coasts? Would We take
The chances of stopping a ship like the

British armed merchantmen are under
! orders to attack the enemy. II we
we're engaged in war would we agree

and supplied with expert eunners who
| could sink the submarine with a shot?
| And if we were 10 do so what would
become Of our main coast defense
1t Is an international provision that
merchantmen must halt on demand
and that flight or resistance puts it be-
yond legal protection.
A merchantmen equipped with a

more dangerous foe than any wooden
vessel the United States or the Con-
federacy had in the civil war. Against
modern battleships, Of course, it is
neglible but II is able to sink other
vessels and 10 destroy submarines
The president is upon the right track
when he insists against needless
slaughter and loss Of life. 1t would
seem that the best way to avoid I'M
necessary killing would he 10 make
merrflantmen safe instead Of danger
GUS, to insist that they shall remain
merchantmen and not become ships OF
war, and to stand firm on the principle
that the crews and passengers Of I'M
armed vessels shall have full and suf-
flcient warning and time for escape

II we stand in danger Of attack such
as the political warriors allege we
