The Topeka state journal., 1919-12-29

It used to be characteristic of the
English girl that she wore low shoes
| or simply shoes, for the high shoes are
always "boots"-and she laughed a
little at her American acquaintance
for her eagerness, as soon as the first
| frosts had come, to encase her ankles
| in leather when she went outdoors.
To be sure the English girl wore
| sensible woolen hose with her low
shoes when it grew cold and the
| American girl looked askance and
amused at the English girl for that.
For her part, she would never have
worn those coarse, heavy, sensible
wooden stockings that made her ankles
| look an inch bigger around than they
| really were; her skin was too sensitive
| to wear wool, anyway.
We Like Them-They're Expensive.
But a marvellous change has come
and there really is no reason more
potent for the vogue enjoyed now by
wooden stockings than the fact that
you simply can't get them for less
than four dollars or so pair. Woolen
stockings at four dollars a pair are a
different proposition. Any stockings
at four dollars pair would at least
be interesting. And the number of
men and women who have discovered
that they like to wear low shoes and
woolen stockings instead of high shoes
and Isle or silk stockings is amazing.
At the country clubs you hardly see
a woman who does not wear these
stockings, always very woody and
| usually rather vivid in coloring-as if
| the very wooly-ness were not enough
to enlarge the size of the ankles with
out adding bright colors.
Of vigorous green are the hose
| worn by the golf girl in the sketch
and as the skirt is decidedly curtailed
not a little of the woody greenness
| shows.
| Plaids in Favor.
The skirt and the collar that crosses
| in the front and buttons in the back
| are all of a blue and gree plaid, the
| blue of which is matched to the shade
in the blue wool jersey of which the
| jacket is made.

In Paris one sees a more daring use
of wearing a plaid skirt made up to
go with a plain jacket of one of the
cofors shown in the plaid is one that
came with the first boatload of Amer

haven't taken to it as enthusiastically
as they might, which is perhaps for
tunate because plaids can never be
used promiscuously. To our American

Fashion is inclined to be tolerant Rnd brOad-minded this summer allow ing several paths to be favored, so long as they lead to the same goaa. And the goal in afternoon gowns is styles that are utterly feminine One may reach it by travelling the rich, sleek, silky way, or take the airy route that leads through clouds of thin, misty materials. Even the silhouette varies according 10 the character of the fab rics wherewithal we are clothed. Silks float about the figure and cling to it, organdies wreathe and froth about it; we have dresses nipped in at the waist and dresses that hang as straight as a chemise, but they are of a daintiness and a luxuriousness that are dear to women.
 Here are two very dissimilar froeks for afternoon that illustrate the fore going. One of them is a black and white combination in which georgette crepe makes the upper half and black satin the lower half of handsome gown. Thread embroidery on the georgette enriches the frock and leads up to the neavy silk cord that lies

Because the late summer hat takes its cue from the sport hat, and re- sembles it more or less, it is some times difficult to make up ones mind just which of the last millinery ar rivals are to be claSSed as sport styles But no one is concerned much about the matter. Late summer" in- cludes everything the shops show, from now until early fall is uShered in, and sport styles" are worn al most everywhere. The late summer hat is not burdened with much trim ming, for it must contrive to look cool. There are exceptions to this rule in hats and trimmings made of the airiest fabrics, among the love Hest of dress hats, but generally the late summer hat has a flavor of out ings-vacations, journeys-and di- vides popularity with sport styles that serve the same purposes.
 In the group of hats shown here a leghorn faced with white crepe georgette leads off. It is a simple affair so far as trimming is con cerned, for it has a band of ribbon about the crown with flat ornaments set at intervals against it.

about the waist and loops over at tN6 back. Elbow sleeves proclaim this midsummer model.
 Dotted voile is to be credited with the daintiness of the frock at the right of the group. It has narrow under skirt and a long, tucked tunfc that is quite full, over it. The full bodice with round neck has three-quarter length, tucked sleeves and fastens at the left front with small round but tons. A dress of this kind without a sash doesn't seem to be in the mind of designers this season, and here we have three long ends of narrow ribbon falling from a bow at the waistline. These gay, fluttering ribbons are char acteristic of the season.
 There are many lovely colors to choose from, according to their be- comingness, in plain and in figured voileS. The latter appear to have the preference, there is something so un- pretentious about them. They are en- ticingly dainty and make it easy to meet the demands of fashion in after noon gowns.

c. Fl. Murphy relates the story of a Philadelphia lawyer, retired, who, in the days of his active practice, was notorious for his long-windedness.
 On one occasion he had been spout ing forth his concluding argument for six hours, and the end was nowhere in sight, when the opposing attorney beckoned his associate and whispered:
 Cant you stop him, Jack?"
 ''I'll stop him in two minutes" Jack replied confidently. And he wrote and passed to the orator the following note:
 My Dear Colonel--As soon as you finish your magnificent argument I would like you to join me at the ho- tel in bumper of rare old Bourbon"
 The lawyer halted in the midst of an impassioned period, put on his glasses, and read the note that had been handed him, then he removed his glasses again and, taking up his hat and bag, he said:
 And now, may 1t please the court and gentlemen of the jury, leave the case with you.'
