The story of Martha and Mary in

Martha must keep the home fires

must see that the floor is swept. the
dinner cooked. the children's clothes
clean and whole.
And Mary must keep aliGht the
lamp on the altar OF the soul OF the
household. She must concern her
self with the finer things OF life
She must read and think and cher

must create an atmosphere OF peace
and rest She must it herself to

that they can stop wearing them and
turn to the pump or the low shoe.
Usually either the pump or the low
shoe reisns supreme in the show
fashions. This year, however. both
are in style and one may choose eth
er one that is preferred.
The oxfords have been put out this
year in a variety of designs. There
are. of course. the regulation styles
in tan. or rather dark brown, and in
black. which are good for everyday
wear and for the street. Besides
these there are oxfords with French
heels, made of patent leather, suede,
or satin. The newest of these styles
are those of satin. For a dress show
they are very smart. and II care is
exercised in selecting them large
