Women are naturally inter
ested in beautiful things and
there is no article of apparel
unless it is, indeed, millinery
that appeals more strongly to
them than footwear.
Having the distinction of
being the only local agents for
the famous and high-grade
Laird, Schober Footwear for
women, we are in a position to
present in advance, new models
that are not only attractive, but
exclusive as well. At present
we are showing many models
for the coming spring. That
they are unusual would be ex-
pressing it mildly as they are
not only ultra-styled but also
possess quality or an unap-
proachable standard. We eSpe-
cially invite you to see shoes as
we feel confident that they will
appeal to the most fastidiouS.

Juie
and Beautiful Daughters

Havana" She went to Europe. She be-
came an idol Of Paris. She gave the gay
CAPITAL her version of the vampire It is
interesting and typical that she dressed
as the wrecker of mems lives in a lovely
pink gown instead Of the stereotyped black
one.
At thirty-one Miss Gerard can review
life filed with more events than are en-
comprised in the existence OF most women
of eighty. Mrs. Z. r. Thomas, once the
beautiful Linda Lee, of Kentucky became
jealous of Paris's idol and named her in
her divorce suit. This course, Miss Gerard
declared, was "catty." But Mrs. Thomas
secured her divorce.
Again Jealousy beset the path trod by
her dancing feet. e. r. Thomas became
jealous of Edward Grips, now Colonel
Cripps. Mr.. Grips is a colonel OF the
Hussars, having won his title and many
decorations because, leading twenty men,
he captured a trench of Turks. II is to be
hoped that Colonel Cripps and the melan-
jealousy.
Grand Duke Dmitri, too, at twenty-nine,
has some heart adventures stored away
in memorys rose-leaf and lavender chest.
There was the trim housemaid whom his
cousin-in-law, the Czarina, caught him
kissing The Czarina then urged the Gar
to Danish his kinsman for the household
good. While the Gear was hesitating, ac-
cording to his indecisive temperament,
court circles wagged active, tongues about
the lads absurd devotion to the impeccable
Princess Beloselsky, formerly Miss Susie
Whittier. daughter of the late General
Whittier, of Boston. These two so oppo-
site adventures caused the youth to be
exiled when he was twenty-five. He went
to Rome where he was seen In the COM
pany of the Princess Radziwill and her
sister, Gladys Deacon. There was an even
ing when the public toasted It's eyes upon
the trio while they Toasted at the Excelsior.
The table was decorated with the Princess's
favorite iowers-red roses and red carna-
lions.
The stirring events of this young Princes
life he told to Miss Gerard In London, and
during the telling II is said he fell In love
with her.
He met her first in Petrograd, while she
was dancing in the Russian city. II was
before the war. With other princes and
mobiles he attended parties at which the
dancer from America WAS a belle. But
neither was greatly attracted to the other.
Death and disaster were needed to form
bonds between the then light-hearted pair.
When he met her again she was playing
in THE Eclipse" in London. He saw her
in the play! The manager brought to him
her message OF sympathy about the
trouble In Russia The Grand Duke sent
an appreciation. Since the Russian was
pitied and the American admired by every.
one they were invited everywhere" They
met at many parties-gay ones on the
Strand and fashionable ones in Mayfair.
In Miss Gerard's bijou apartment, small
and brilliant as jewel, the telephone rang
