1t is remarkable what emotions
such an engine will arouse in one.

continue to feel that way until you

This morning I took the Pod and
the smaller children for a little run

Fashions In footwear are already
settled and we are to have a spring
and summer Of daintily clad feet.
Shoes are lighter in color than ever
before. All the shades of tan. from
the ordinary and familiar color that
men and women have always worn to
the palest tint that can be called tan,
are In strong demand. There are Just
as many shades of gray, apparently,
to choose from, and 1t would be hard
to tell which of the two colors is tho
more popular.
Even so early in the season white
shoes are worn and they appear with
dark tailored suits. The demand for
them will increase as the season ad-
vances. Aside from tan and gray not
many colors are worn, but there Is a
good showing of bronze. II is prob.
able that more black shoes are sold
than any other kind, but 1t is quite pos.
sible that this state of things may
change before the season ends.
A high buttoned boot for street wear
is shown in the picture above, that is
an excellent example of elegance in
footwear. 1t is in very light tan
shade with tan buttons and is finished
with machine stitching. The heel is
not high but is curved like French
heel, adding much to the daintiness
OF the style.
A black slipper for evening wear has
heel Of the same sort, sharply
curved but not high. It is decorated
with a pattern worked out In small
jet and steel beads on the toe and is

RACE MARK IN THE FACE
Subtle Sign Of clanship That May
Have Had Its Origin Numerous
Centuries Ago.

No eloQuence of tongue. nothing that
stands written in any book. may sway
the heart as does that elusive quail
ity-the race mark in face. And this
is true less of the obvious physical as.
pect than of its thousandth secret con-
notations. All the world knows the
Hapsburg lip, the Jaw line Of the Bona
parties; the subtler marks Of clanship
keep their eloQuence for their own.
Conspicuously or not, each family
group stands before these symbols as
the small company of the learned
might before some inscription on q
desert ruin. Mere strokes and
scratches to you and me. To the few
who understand here is the key that
unlocks the past.

The Easter bride could not ask for
anything more nearly perfect in the
way of wedding gown than the thing
Of beauty which is pictured here. 1t
has been evolved by combining the ira
ditional in wedding gowns with the
modes Of today in the best possible
manner. The bride has always been
allowed considerable latitude in which
to express her individual ideas in the
details Of her wedding pageant. Is It
not the bride who decides whether the
groom shall wear a gardenia or not :?
The present intensely feminine fash
ions give opportunity for beautiful
wedding professions; wide skirts,
much beruffled, big picture hats and
the revival of quaint fashions simply
play into the hands of those who have
undertaken the delightful task of man.

The superb gown shown here, from

To the right of where lay was the
outline of the church, the windows
alight, several blazing torches. bobbing
about within, revealing passing fig

great to permit any sound of voices
reaching my ears. The rear door,

there. Straight across from me, a
squad of horsemen we're moving north

rapidly between them and the church.

A gun, poised and ready, forked out

he suddenly refined in his horse. and
called again:

A single figure seemed to emerge
from among the trees-a mere shadow,
