either to win or lose-there was no
middle course.
II determined. however, TO play
the game honestly, as II one had

Fashions for Americans

Hand painted shoes have now ar
rived, to accompany. IN the sartoTtai
procession, hand painted hats. para
soils, belts and handbags. High boots
OF white glazed kid or with white
kid uppers carry sprays OF flowers
or other designs hand painted on
their snowy surface.
Without doubt, however. the
vogue for this particular item Of ap-
parel NJ more fad than Il fashion,
and hand painted shoes are by no
means recommended for general
wear, or even suggested for occar
sional use by the woman who must
count her dollars and cents--unless
perchance she can paint the shoes
herself. Bought ready for use they
are rather expensive.
