Throughout all this madness in
America France has been steadily wear
ing what is known as the sculptural
shoe; that is, the rounded toe. the broad
vamp and the side pieces that cling to
the instep and hold 1t up. She has in
sisted upon straight Spanish heels for
her walking shoes, and in every way
made herself comfortable. and she has
brought her foot which has never. been
notable for beauty, into a well rounded
part of her silhouette.
The leather men tell us that even il
we wear low shoes the prices will not
be reduced. and this is being said to US
in so many ways about every COM
modify of life that We have begun to
cease thinking about unmeasured pros
perity and have turned to face the pos

terest displayed in the rumor. backed
up by facts, that Paris will launch
longer skirts for spring than we have
worn for two years. There is no evil
dence OF this in the new Callot models
but Callot never cared for long skirts
This house cut its evening gowns into
a high arch or point in front at a
time when other dressmaking houses
wouldn't consider such an innovation.
Years and years ago Callot and Poiret
Joined hands on this fashion, and It was
ridiculed by two continents: now every
woman wears gowns shorter than these
first ones without an apology.
The commercial interest in the situa-
ton is stirred on account OF the vast
output of high shoes in this country.
In Paris there is good authority for
saying that this form of footgear is
not in first fashion and is rapidly dis
appearing. The reason is simple. France
has no leather, and her women have
been wearing low shoes for a year. The
oxford tie with the high heel, round toe
and broad ribbon bow at the instep has
for a year been the first choice of fash
ion in France in connection with street
costumery. And to meet the situation
France made her skirts longer.
The scarcity of leather is pinching
the shoe industry on every side IN
America. Shoes have advanced from
$6 a pair to S14 and even higher prices
will be asked this spring. Eight dollars
is asked for an ordinary pair of laced
street shoes at questionable places,
where the amount of leather used is
negligible and the amount of cloth sub
stftuted conspicuous.
If women can continue to pay the ex-
orbitant prices asked for high shoes
they may be able to continue to wear
short skirts, but II France insists upon
longer skirts and the bootmakers in
sist upon frightful prices. it is safe
guess that the low shoe and the longer
skirt will be inaugurated in the spring
time.
1t is not easy to say whether the OK
ford tie. which has ruled in Paris for
twelve months, will be taken up in this
country, for we have, unfortunately.
gone quite mad over the subject of
ugly shoes. and. although We owe the
inspiration for them to eccentric social
circles in Paris. we have done things
so much worse than France could
dream of doing that it is only fair to
say that there is no allegiance between
the two. We have not only twisted the
shape of the foot into serious bit of
hideousness, as the Chinese do. by ex-
aggerating the length of the vamp and
running 1t out into point like the one
piece shoe worn by the men in the four
teenth century, but we have added to
the medieval vamp the tottering spin
die heel of the seventeenth century in
France. The two in combination make
an ugliness that no one thought possible
in this day when people really struggle
for beauty of line.

WILL TEST WOMAN's
 SUFFRAGE ACT

Fort Smith, Nov. 19.-The legality of the Riggs suffrage bill passed by the 1917 legislature will be put to a test as a result of suit J. H. Wright filed late Saturday in the county court, contesting the nomination of Arch Monro for mayor of Fort Smith. The compalint alleges that under the con stitution of the state the law is in- valid, and further states that when the women's votes are eliminated from the primary held last Tuesday, in which Monro defeated Wright by 199 majority, Wright will be the nom- inee by 31 votes.
 The primary was the first in which women ever participated in Arkansas The Wright petition asserts the wo- men are barred from voting by the constitution as well as the state law, and further alleges they are barred under the terms of the commission form of government charter of Fort Smith. The petition is accompanied by the names of more than 800 women who voted in the primary.

SHIPS HIGH-GRADE
 COTTON BY EXPRESS

High-priced cotton and the slow movement of freight will not mix suc- cessfully. This is the opinion of w. l.. Belin of Hermitage and MT. Belin further demonstrated his belief in this fact by expressing, prepaid, to this city one bale of long staple cotton. The cotton was consigned to A. B. Martin of the Hammett Grocer com pany, who sold the cotton for, MT. Belin to Thos. J. Collier & Son Cotton company yesterday for a considera- tion of 40 cents per pound The bale brought trifle over $175. The ex- press was $5.

"What House." In lite street, mainly
prompted, he told me- by the wish to
show what he could achieve in dec

ltect, and it was not long before they
quarreled over the work, in commemo-
ration Of which Whistler caused q
stone to be inserted in the front of the
house, engraved with the words:
Except the Lord build the house
they labor In vain that build 1t. e. W.

The stone has long since disap-
peared. Goodwin died in 1886, and In
