FROM PARIS.

A national shoe" has made its
appearance in Paris and the wom-

Economical but not too ugly is
the way it is described.
While the French women are not
opposed to wearing shoes of a uni
form pattern, the proposal that thew
wear national dress has raised
storm of protest.
Don't ask US" pleads the Paris
ian woman who has been the fash
ion model Of the world" TO wear a
national dress-a uniform would be
the censor'S shears clipping the
wings of feminine taste. We French
women before all others realize the
need of economy and we bow smil-
inglv before the necessity for it.

sock reached only to the ankle, and

quick movement was desired.
1t was in Rome that the sandal
began to take a shape something
like our modern shoe There are
in eastern Europe peoples whose
civilization was derived from Rome,
who still cling to the unreformed
sandal But the Rome Of Augustus
was more luxurious. The footgear
of patricians was decorated with
golden clasps and embroideries. and
shoemaking became an elaborate
trade.
Ordinary walking shoes frequently
had a wooden sole like some of the
sandals Of Egypt and it is proba bly,
from those that the French peasant
of today derives his sabots. The
Weather classes INDUCED in dainty
slippers and laced boots, while the
emperors wore purple buskins. Red
was permitted to the nobility; the
commons had TO content themselves
with more sober coloring.
In England, under the Norman
influence, some extraordinary de-
velopments took place. During the
time of the Plantagentes the toes OF
shoes were turned up like rams
horns or were drawn out 70 such a
length that the points had 10 be

SOLDIER SAYS
FORGET THE WAR

The following is an extract from
an authentic letter received by
Belgian father and mother from
their son who entered the army in
1914 at the age of 16 years as a
volunteer, was wounded at the bat
tie Of User and since returned TO
the front, where he is now or was
when this was written IN reply to
a despairing letter from his par
ents:

the war Don't think about it at
all and just make up your mind
that you have somewhere three
sons that are all coming back 10

surest way not to s'encafarder' as
we say. If we should pity our
selves as you pity US. we who are

dead and buried. SO, no more wor-
rying. Ell? Let the war take care

CoIored Doilics for the Dining Room Table

Have YOU ever thought of varying
the traditional white of the center
piece and doilies, on your dining
room table, by substituting similar
articles of colored fabrics? Per
haps you have for the summer table,
spread on the porch or under the
pergola, but have you ever tried it
in the house, Since the love Of
color is being so strongly manifested
today. why not introduce a little
more of it into the dining room?

doilies Of dainty figured cretonne.
These dOilies. in the various sizes

were all bound around with a white
fancy braid, which carried out the
white Of the background. The chief
color effect was a deep rose pink;
this shaded down through more del
icate pinks TO white, so the narrow
white edge made pleasing finish
Another set, with misty blues and
greens, was also attractive; both of
these looked exceedingly well in that
dining room, with its fumed oak
paneling and high easement win
dows. A third one of yellow roses

gray-greeh leaves, seemed TO en-

streamed down upon the table.

a proud possession OF the chief city

Just think of a colossal clock

different faces to observers! That
is what Petrosrad has. Can you
blame the inhabitants for their
weather-vane changea bleness. or
uncertainty as TO whether or not
the hour has struck for true lib
erty2
But apart from its psychological
effect on the people, this wonderful
Russian clock is worthy Of atten-
ton. To he entirely accurate, it
really isn't Russian the wor6s
having been made in Switzerland.
Illustrative of its magnitude, is the
fact that two years We're required
to put the clock together after its
mechanism had been forwarded
from Switzerland in detached
pieces.

its 80 faces the time of day at 80
