Neither is 1t case Of birds Of 4

The winged sandal that flew across
from Paris last spring has not lasted.
But it did give inspiration to the use
Of fluffy ostrich tips as pompons. or
gay colored feathers applied upon rib
bons and leather as straps for shoes.
One house is showing pair of tur-
quOise blue satin brocaded evening
pumps with a huge swirl Of opal-hued
feathers at the toe. The pompon Is
caught by jeweled buckle. Gold or
silver cloth slippers use feathers Of
purest white or a shade dyed to match
the hose and gown. Because Of the
wide vogue for dark evening gowns
Of taupe or brown, many feather POM
pons are Of burnt orange or copper
shades. u
For afternoon wear there are slip
pers of dark fabrics and feathers
banded at the instep With edgings Of
little overlapping colored feathers.
The same vogue is found in bedroom

You can preserve finish BY
avoiding mud and, tar.
II you must drive through the
tar, you can keep it of the body
by driving slow. Don't speed.
Better to go through a town at
10 miles per hour than to come
back and pay fine of $50.
Don't take any foolish chances.
It doesn't pay.
In going down a steep grade go
into second gear; it is safer. It
also saves the brakes.
