NEWS EVENTSAN AND FEA TURES FOR WOHEN REA DERS

in the afternoon, one would hear a
group of smart French women express
ing keen delight and approval of the
new shoes and saying how glad they
were they would now have to import
their boots from New ork after this.
They are tired of the Greek and
Roman shoe, these exclusive women,
because of the absurd lengths to which
it has been carried by the little girl on
the boulevards and the common popu
larity of il.
1t is good guess that the American
shoe made by a French bootmaker is
the very beginning of a new fashion
among the French. We may adopt
their short skirt just when they are
adopting our long skirt, but it is to be
doubted whether we will adopt their
shoes even if they discard the shape.
Hellstern and Pinet are putting out
very good looking evening slippers
however, that give quite glamor to
an evening costume. They are a modi-
fled type of Spanish slipper with 3
bracelet around the ankle and jew
eled strap across the instep. Some
times there is a buckle on the strap
of well cut colored crystals.

Paris dressmakers have put out
longer, wider skirt, and Paris boot
makers are for American SHOES
made according to our last, which
have French and English purchasers.
Paris. September 11.-If you listen TO
half the discussions that go on IN
Paris between those who ike the
French styles and those who like the
American styles, one if apt to have a
feeling akin to shell-shock.
The brain does not stang the inces-
SAINT bombardment of opinions, preju-
dices and facts There is no end to
the discussion, because none of the ar
guments carry conviction to the other
person why? Because people usually
argue from prejudice and not from
fact, from ones personal viewpoint.
There is no reason why short skirts
shouldn't be worn and there is no rea-
son against long ones that any OBJ
server can see, but this is just one ar
gument out of many, the first one in
all discussions. The second one has
to do with French shoes versus Amer
lean shoes. No one seems to get tired
of these arguments. A fresh battery
comes into action wherever there is a
new group of people.
The Americans who are here are buy
ers or tourists hold firm for every
thing American, whole thek com
patriots, those who have been here for
several years. assert that the French
styles are better and more attractive
than ours. SO far the line of demarca-
tion has been so strongly drawn that
a compromise was not even consid

wider skirts, and some of the American

plot short skirts and short sleeves.
Where will all the arguments be, If
these things happen.
If the Americans arrive home to find
skirts 10 inches from the floor, after
they nave left the new skirts here
which come to the shoe top. will any
one know how to act and think?
AS if this change was not sufficient
to disturb ones equanimity about
clothes, here comes few of the SNARE
French bootmakers with shoes made
on American lasts. One of the win
dows on a side street where fashion
able women go for their shoes was
, filled the other day with such a group
of shoes as might be seen any day on
Fifth avenue. The little snub -toed
stilted heel, French shoes had van
ished. In their place were the long
slim vamps of the American last with
moderate heel They had cloth tops
in demure colors, no wild orgy OF
stitchery and fantastic ornamentatioli
over the seams.
To the American mind these shoes
l ad more elegance than anything
which has been seen in Paris for two
years. To the French mind they were

THE HOUSEHOLD

One of the things that we house
wives will have to learn by way of
fighting the high cost of food is to buy
with far greater attention to the exact
quantity needed. A good many women
will tell you that if they order'f for two
or three they order just about the
same, and that it doesn't cost much
more to feed three than four, because
they order just about as much and II
is hard to estimate exactly. For in
stance, If they have a large family tNey
have cook use the entire pudding
recipe, and if it is smallish family
cook makes half pudding. although
the half pudding may give enough for
five and there may be only three
mouths to feed
Now really that sort of thing amounts
to waste and you should insist that
cook or yourself adjust recipes to a
finer point than that. When you have
a very small family don't have made
buildings of that sort. Have some sort
of dessert that you can bake in
| smaller amount to advantage. And il
there are but two you will find that
two pastries from the caterers are less
expensive than pudding that will do
for four or five or six and that will
| need a hot oven for the making.
| Now don't hesitate in buying meat
to get just enough. If you are order
| ing chops and you have reason to think
that each person in your family takes
| but one chop don't get any more chops
| than there are persons. Dirt have a
false sense of pride that will make
you get zone two for the platter"
| that sort of thing was we'll enough in
ante bellum days, but it is foolish, and
| even wicked, now.
French housewives have always been
able to estimate more carefully than
we and it is seldom that the French
woman has the little odds and ends left
| over from meals that we do.
Lloyd George the other day said that
| If the present high cost of food pre-
vailed in England it would be neces-
| sary for English people to lower their
demands. They would simply have to
become accustomed to less expensive
dietary. In this country the same

Get the Difference.

1t is pretty hard for some men to
see the difference between brave
man and bully and it is equally diff
between conservatism and cowardice.
A brave man is one one who has
the judgment and courage to find
out and do whatever seems to be best
and right, after taking everything
into consideration. The bully con-
suits his own will and advantage, and
relies on force-brute force, if neces-
sary to put it over"
Conservatism is the legitimate
child of reason and observation. It
has the fixed habit of taking every
thing into consideration. at all times
looking finally to the adoption of a
course which will bring the greatest
permanent good to the greatest num-
Der. 1t is not without strength and
courage, qualities which are mighty
contributors to the consumation of
the things undertaken. Cowardice
is blind, narrow selfish and self
seeking. Surrounded by many poll
cies, it accepts honesty. only when
it serves its purpose. Oftimes 1t
is nick-named Diplomacy" The road
it travels is called the cline of least
resistance. Its object is to "get

Up till now no race has had mo-
nopoly of towards and DULLES. 1t
is equally true that no racial mo-
nopoly exists as to bravery and con-
servatism.
I have seen the bully masquerading
in the livery of proud Caucasian
reciting the history Of its glorious
achievements and pointing to his
blood and lineage Likewise I have
seen the bully in ebony, going back
into the mist of ancient history es-
tablishing his high place in the
making of the foundation of civili-
cation. He is a familiar 1guro in the
valley of the Nile, where the ever
lasting pyramids and silent sphinx
tell their tonguless story of those
other days.
In the light of all that has hap
pened there seems little excuse fol
any man 10 be in doubt as to whether
he should be brave and yet con-
se1vative.
