Death KneII Sounded for a Once
0verinduIged Fashion.
Question of Proper Footwear Now Alb
sorbing the Attention of Women
Seeking Most Sensible Shoes.

A curious phase of fashion during
the second year of the war is the
passing of sport clothes, observes a
fashion writer This does not mean
that they weren't worn in tiresome
profuSiOn at summer resorts. Wher-
ever women gathered from East, West,
North or South, they came with trunks
of sleeveless jackets, colored sweater
coats, separate skirts and the other
paraphernalia that goes with the
beach, the mountain and a motorcar.
But through ell these costumes ran
q thread of different dressing, which
was quite noticeable to those who had
seen other summers at American re-
sorts. Few of the women wore white
linen skirts, white shirtwaists or
sweaters. Few wore fiat-heeled shoes.
The majority of them made the mis-
take of wearing sleeveless jackets and
separate skirts with pointed pumps
and Louis XIV heels.
That's the kind of thing we do quite
badly over here, and which is a de-
pdIIuIS lIOlu Tic SOOu SSASS WHICH,
characterized our sport clothes ten
years ago. In fact, the whole shoe
situation in America is SO extremely
bad that one would like to write down
rules and regulations about shoes and
have them enforced by the govern
ment. We used to pride ourselves on
the best shoes in the world, worn in
the most suitable manner and differing
for each occasion. We laughed at the
French for their eccentricities.
Today, although we do not seem to
realize it, the majority of women in
the world are looking askance at our
feet. We demand absurd shoes, unless
a uniform demands sensible ones. The
whole condition is topsy-turvy. WOm-
en- stand behind the counter in pumps
that should be worn in a limousine at
five o'clock in the afternoon; others
walk up Main street in shoes that
should be used for a restaurant dinner
at seven o'clOck-and thus it goes
through the string of hours. Rarely,
except in the evening, is the average
American woman properly shod. She
has lost her head completely concern
ing her feet.

cleaner, who can give it new lease
of life and loneliness.
And in the meantime another fox
scarf must be available, either one of
those beautiful "cross" varieties,
which blend black, and gray, and
white, and tawny tints, or else one of
the red fox skins, whose almost orange
tone is favored alike by blond and
brunette, and which is going to be
very much in evidence during the next
season.
And, in order that the color and
contrast of the furs made be made
still more effective by repetition, some
of the newest velours hats have been
dyed to exactly this same gorgeous red
orange shading. And beautiful-and
beautifying they are.

DAINTY FOX FURS POPULAR
Fortunate Purchasers of Last Season

as to Style.

Moths that of yOre luxuriated in
| FUR neckwear have had a distressing

IN all save the hottest days, there
VAS little danger from the little ras-
Gals.
Snowy white fox furs undOubt-

been an ever-increasing demand for
the beautiful skins in spite of the
fact of their ever-increasing price.
SO those women whose last sea-
sons purchase of such tie has en-
abled them to follow this seasons fash

and also ecOnomically-have much
cause to congratulate themselves, for
new purchase would have meant
a larger outlay.
On the other hand, it must be adj
mitted that the purchase of a white
fox fur either presupposes the possess
sion of another and darker piece, or
suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of making a
second purchase.
For. of course, snowy spotlessness
is essential to its charm, and the sue
cess of the wearer's whole toilette,
so-called white fox which shows the
slightest sign of soiling or dinginess
being a very sad sight.

Little modesty vests of net with in

These little vests are worn with silk

Many high-neck guimpes are made of
georgette, some plainly tailored with
merely fine tuckings and others

Opinion is divided as to whether or
7ot the courts will sustain the in
come tax on the salary of the presi-
dent and federal judges. Some very
ridiculous arguments were made about
this tax. For instance, it was claimed
that the independence of the execu-
tive and judiciary were endangered
by it as an adverse congress could tax
them into submission. An adverse
congress desiring to coerce the eXecu-
tive or judiciary by such means could
till6 a shorter cut by refusing to appro-
PIRATE the salaries of these officials.
Before any congress could coerce
either the executive or the judiciary
20 any extent it is quite likely the
people would displace that congress
with one having more sense.

Fringe Still In StXIe.

Fringe is still in good style as a
trimming accessory, and it may be
bought by the yard in all varieties of
cOlors-and prices. There is a lovely
chenille fringe, expensive of course,
that costs $3.50 or $4 in an eight-inch
width. There is a silk fringe, too,
formed OF loops of silk thread, not
with cut ends. but with the Topped end
where ordinarily the cut end would be.
There are to be sure, narrow fringes
that cost no more than 80 or 40 cents.
These, as one might imagine, are of
thin silk threads and narrow. But for
their purpose they are very good.

have read to the house an official order
issued by General Degoutte of the
French army, who commanded a num-
Der of American troops during the re-
cent allied advance. When Congress-
man Butler was visiting divisional
headquarters General Degoutte hand
ed him the order, expressly requesting
that it be read to the house of repre-
sentatives in order that members might
know in what high esteem the Ameri-
can soldiers are held by their French
brothers in arms. Butler translated the
order, which proved to be strong trib-
ute to the Yanks' valor, and after 1t
was read the house arranged to send
General DegOutte an engrossed copy
of the proceedings, signed by Speaker

Probably the most astounding thing
the Germans of higher intelligence
have encountered is the manner
in which this country has gone
into war. They never believed if was
possible for the United States to mobil-
ize, equip, train, ship and put into the
fighting lines anything like an army
Just why they could not bark back to
Civil war days and see how a divided
nation raised two armies of great fight
ing material is a mystery. The Ger
mans have made other errors First
they did pot believe this country would
go to war: and second they did not be-
lieve we could put an army in Europe
They hal some reason to believe we
would not go to war for the pacifist
sentiment was very strong. Then the
Germans were misled by the pro-Ger-
man element in this country. They
believed that the Germans in the Unit
ed States would have nerve enough to
revolt and counterfeit the efforts of
this country to be effective on the side
of the allies. They had reason to en-
terrain such ideas. but events show
how mistaken they were. If there con-
