Colored Boots for Women
Shoes to Match Costume To Be
Autumn Style

The really stylish woman this fall
10 expected to wear ten or eleven inch
top boots to match her costume. The
trend toward HIGH shoes of colored
leather or satin is gaining strength,
in the opinion of some of the leading
manufacturers of novelty footwear.
Colored kid is the favorite material,
with satin running close second.
Two-color combinations are said to be
less popular than single colored shoes.
Some Of the newest styles in the satin
boots are heavily stitched in imitation
Of wing tips. and also have en-
broidercd stitching worked out in de-
signs along the lace stay seam, the top
Of the boot and even along the back
seam. The kid boots also are elabo-
rately stitched. There has been some
reduction in this class Of footwear, &C
cording to a leading producer, but
boots Of this type will retail around
S1S a pair, which is considered be-
yond the reach Of the average woman.
However, manufacturer who spe-
c!alzes in such shoes asserts that his
orders for them from retailers are far
larger than for the more conservative
types Of footwear

son of wealthy daryman of this
city, was charged by the police last

The police announced Wade had con-
fessed.
Motifs wife is in the Bridgeport
broken ankle.
Trunk in Quicksands
The murder of Mott, who was many
years his wife's senior, is said by
detectives to have grown out Of three
years intrigue between Wade and Mrs.
Mott. The mutilated body Of the hus-
band was found tightly wedged in an
old trunk and was sinking in the quick
sands Of swamp. A search for the
missing man had been going on and
lice in their search. With him was a

made it was found that Motifs skull
was crushed, four bullets were in the

ton, it is said, and threatened Wade
with violence if he again visited the

on Mrs. Mott Saturday night and re-
NAMED until after l o'clock on Sun
day morning. Her husband was absent
at the time.
At o'clock Mott came home and
charging Mrs. Mott with unfaithful-
ness, beat her severely. At 8 o'clock
Mrs. Mott telephoned to Wade and told
him what had happened.
Neighbors Heard Shots
Shortly afterward Wade and his
friend johnson are said to have arrived
at the Mott home.
Neighbors told the authorities they
were aroused by sounds of the
scuffle and shooting and the
weird music of pianola which was
kept playing throughout the struggle
as if to drown the noise of the shoot
ing.
Shortly before noon Sunday Daniel
Ferguson, friend of Motifs, called at
the house and was told by Mrs. Mott
that her husband was not at home. He
is said to have insisted upon entering,
and did so. later searching the house
Becoming suspicious, he informed the
police, who Immediately took Wade
and Mrs. Mott into custody.

technical charges of breach Of the
peace and with aiding Wade in the

; Cotton Goods Dull
Little Demand for Fabrics for
Immediate Delivery

Except for a sporadic demand for
fabrics for immediate delivery the cot
ton goods trade, taken as whole. is
inactive. Some of the largest mills.
according to their selling agents. are
against price revisions as trade stimu-
!ators until general conditions have set
tied more.
Houses that announced new prices a
few weeks ago and guaranteed them
until October Is are sticking to their
guns" and apparently have sufficient
business in hand to carry them to tn
next period of new prices. 1t is cN-
pected that leading producers of wide

near future. The Stacking up of the

Commercial Credit

Wholesale credit men in the textile
and apparel trades are fighting the
continued demand from buyers for
longer credit terms. In some cases the
sellers have refused to grant longer
terms. but have suggested trade &C
ceptances to their customers as a
method of lengthening the time of pay
ment.
Most credit men. particularly in the
womens apparel industry. are holding
customers to a fairly low limit and are
frequently accused by the heads of
their firms of sitting business. In gen.
eral credit men who deal with retailers
are extremely closehisted, operating
on the assumption that the volume of
retail distribution this fall and winter
is to be checked by economy on the
part Of the consuming public.
Commercial paper continues at the
high rates of s and 81 per cent. No
change is noted in bankers acceptance
rates, which were quoted yesterday by
the American Acceptance Council as
