that the long vamp not only adds inches
to the foot, but is uncomfortable unless
the shoe be two sizes too large.
Every American model that came to
Paris year ago showed the extremely
long. narrow shoe, but Paris boot
makers shortened the yamp when copy
ing it for their trade. The shoe that is
la mode today and will be for spring

Cuban heel; if a boot. then it will be

Will be covered. The top part is of
cloth or covert. and the color beige,
gray or white.
If the shoe is low 1t will be of the
new kind of patent leather with long
tongue extending above the instep and
over the toes will be a wide black
buckle-steel. if for afternoon, imita-
tion black enamel il for morning. These
two styles are the. best, but there are

France claims that the pinched vamp
is not for the pedestrian, and she gave
up the style that she INDUCED in for
so long and at which Americans
laughed; now our American women are
the only ones on the civilized parts of
the planet who indulge in the medieval
toe balanced on an exaggerated French
heel
What Paris is doing today and how
she has met the difficulties presented is
clearly and Interestingly told in the
story which follows:
The last installment of American
shoes for spring arrived during the
winter. and the French article cut after
the latest throb of the American market
is now being placed in the windows

its model, but the long yamp so loved

unusually important for three
years, bat this month it has
X taken on renewed vigor. Wom-
en- and manufacturers are vitality con-
cerned with what to wear. and how
high or low it should be.
The recent shipment of sharks skins
to this country to supply the deficiency
in leather IS interesting. The manufac-
tarers say that the effect of shoes made
of the maneatcrs that threatened and
frightened New Jersey coast residents
last summer viii be good. and that
women will not complain that leather
is no longer 10 be easily had, because
they will be satisfied with the new
things.
Cloth is also being substituted. Can
vas is readily used with a bit of
leather in the way Of strapping as a
sop to an old tradition that shoes must
be of certain hides. Brocade, silk, tus-
sar and cotton are all called to the col
ors to serve the country in time of
need. Leather shoes are mounting in
price, naturally, and yet there is no
disposition on the part of the manu-
facturers to make any other kind of
shoes at a low price. All labor is too
high for any material reduction to be
possible. The difficulty is to get worker
and leather, and dire prophecies are
made concerning both if the war con-
tinues well into the future.
The French heightened their skirts
for spring and summer to meet the diff
Guilty OF procuring high boots. they
said, and, therefore. the American
woman is considering we'll the ques
lions which are put before her by the
shoemakers and the dressmakers.
There is no separating the two is
sues. 1t would seem, for a woman who
has been used to wearing the very
short skirt will certainly be hampered
IL she can no longer find the shoes to
meet the situation. If the substitution
of other materials than leather does not
meet with her approval. and she thinks
the new kind are ugly, then she will
lengthen her frocks and be in the first
fashion.
AS so many questions were asked
concerning the situation. and as it was
evident that Paris was the source of
both fashions-the heightened gown
and the new types of shoes-I sent
there for the best information to be
gotten. SO that women who read could
make up their minds as to their own
course through expert knowledge.
No matter how good our workmanship
in shoes in this country. we may have
to go to France for ideas. just as in
other days France came to US for the
short vamp, the Cuban heel the re-
liable sole and the lacing in front. And
today France and the United States are
working together to meet the, situation
created by the deficiency of shoe ma
terials- and French skill has created
some excellent results.
Our long medieval vamp. with its
consequent 1engthening of the foot and
the curious pinching effect at the toes
is roundly rejected by Paris for the sem
sible reason that her women are walk
ing now. as they have no carriages or
automobiles.

HARRY LADDERS
ONLY SON DIES ON
FRENCH FRONT
Captain Wounded Twice Before
Father Had Planned His
Career as Farmer
by Cable 10 Tho Trbunel

London, Jan. There is general
outburst Of sympathy all over Britain
to-day for Harry Lauder, the Scotch
comedian, whose only son, Captain
John Louder OF the Argyll Sutherland
Highlanders, has been killed in France.
His death occurred on December 90,
though the fact was only learned here
to-day.
In late years all Harry LADDERS
hopes and ambitions have centred in
his son, who was graduated from Cam
bridge and when the war came was
about TO begin his training as lawyer,
although Lauder, writing in a Sunday
newspaper yesterday, said:
when my son comes home from the
wars I hope he will take kindly 20
thoughts OF sheep farming, and become
established as decent Scots laird,
growing the nations meat. That's the
life that is reality, but most OF your
doings IN town srs just a cinema
show"
Captain Lauder had been wounded
twice. He became engaged IN August
TO Mildred Thomas, the daughter Of a
Scottish farmer and old schoolmate OF
the elder Lauder.
