Paris seems to be trying to make up
for lost time in regard 10 fashions
During the war years the Wodistes OF
Paris could not launch frivolous fantas-
tic fads and notions because there Was
no way Of marketing them. The thea
tcrs could not Indulge In them much
less the wealthy war workers. and
America was not importing Parts fash
ions, but WAS getting along very nice.
ly with American made garments ana
accessories
Now, however. since Paris is once
more free from tho war cloud. every
effort Is being made to regain the Gov
oted place Of fashion dictator. ana
in making the effort Paris seems TO
and freak fashions.
It is noticeable that American wn-
men are not flocking to exclusive I'M
porters" to buy freak clothing for fab
ulous prices with a Paris label on them
as they formerly did This is particu-
larry encouraging in view Of the new
est and most idiotlc fad which Paris
has just launched
After having made frocks and or
namentation as harbariC as possible
by the use Of little cloth and much
beads aud Of course the war paint.
Paris has now decided that all that is
needed to make the picture Of mod o.
cTn well dressed woman the most In
COngruous thing Imaginable is a little
touch Of ancient classic Greece and 10.
feathers for miadyu heels and shoes
a la Mercury are introduced This sill
~ fad is invading America, but IL
should be laughed to scOrn,
No intelligent sensible American
woman will ever wear feathers upon
her ankles or her heels. The stage
| may adopt them, and the fancy dress
| bail may witness a few, and there
| they may be all right, but the street
| the reception, ballroom and hotel are
| no place for feathered feet
There are two very good reasons
| why American women Will not adopt
| this more than senselcss fad First II
would mean killing more birds, and
American women are banding together
| to try to save the birds. Many wo-
| men do not wear feathers on their hats
| because certain feathers mean the de.
struction of a horde of birds whose
scarcity Is bad for the farmer and his
crops.
Aside from this economic. humane
and scientific reason there is another
which will keep more women from
wearing feather anklets than any other
reason which could he brought to bear
Vanity.
What woman will be willing to hide
pretty. well turned ankle with strag
gly, ruffled feathers? What woman
will want TO call attention TO ugly,
shapeless ankles by punches OF feathers
which accCntuate the size and lack al
beauty? sic Is foolish virgin, indeed
who would nave winged feet.

What's In a Name?
sY MILDRED MARSHALL
LORETTA.

Loretta should by right Of origin, be
spelled Lauretta. Its present accepted
form is due TO the Italian influence
which destroys the French Eau" and
supplies the letter equivalent 10 it's
pronunciation.
Loretta signifies laurel" but there
is considerable difference of opinion in
regard to her source. Some etymolo-
gists believe that it is taken from the
masculine Taurus and that the ladies
so called should consider st. Laurence
as their patron. Others contend that
1t is taken from the Greek word laura
meaning avenue, and applied to the elus-
tiers of hermitages which eventually
formed the nucleus of monasteries. A
religious Interpretation is that the name
the laurel grove, or loreto, to which the
Italians believe the angels transported
the holy house of Nazareth during the
conquest OF Palestine.
But whatever theory is correct Lau-
retta made her debut as a feminine
name among the Flemish in 1852. Her
next appearance was in the time of
King John when daughter Of Will
liam de Braose. lord of Bramber, was
so called. After that, the name came
into popular usage throughout Eng
land and France. In the latter country,
II is called Laurette.
The emerald is Loretta's taIismanic
gem. 1t is the jewel of youth and
her the charm that comes from quick
ened intelligence. and the admiration
of others. Wednesday is her lucky day
and her lucky number.

Welcome at San Marcial.

Governor CoX's party will proba-
bly, arrive without the welcoming
committee of ten men and women
of the state who were in Gallup
last night to welcome him and his
party to New Mexico. The wreck
and consequent detour took the
Cox party around to Deming and
made it impossible for the welcom-
ing committee to meet the train
there, and they returned last night.
They will go to San Marcial today
to meet the governors party.
Throughout the day delegations
are expected to arrive from adjoin-
ing towns and from all the larger
towns of the state. Preparations
have been made for many who are
expected to al Rrive in aute,n6btles.
First Talk at Station.
Albuquerqueans, regardless of
party affiliations, will extend to
Governor Cox rousing New Mex
leo welcome. Those in charge of
details OF the reception have ap-
pointed an official committee to
meet the governors train at the
station, but an unofficial commit
tee of thousands of men. women
and children of Albuquerque and
other towns will undoubtedly be
waiting at the Santa Fe station for
the first glimpse of the democratic
candidate and to hear his opening
address in the city, which will be
given Immediately after arrival on
the west side of the Alvarado ho-
tel.
Those unable to see the governor
upon his arrival will be lined along
Central avenue. the route OF the
parade, which will proceed to Old
Town and thence back to the city.
Main Address at Armory.
The important event of the visit
of Governor Cox will, Of course. be
his address at the armory, sched-
uled for s o'clock. It is expected
that the number seeking admission
TO the armory to hear Governor
Cox will be greater than the ca
pacity of the hall. but in this event
arrangements have been made Tor
an overflow meeting. So that OUT
of-town guests will not be at dis
advantage in obtaining seats, ar
rangemeats have been made by ID.
