LANG LEAVES FOR
TEXAS OIL MEETING
GOES AS REPRESENTATIVE OF
TERRELL COUNTY STOCK
HOLDERS IN GATEX CO.

Acting as the representative OF a
large number of the stockholders OF
the Gatex Oil company, Judge J. A.
LANG left Dawson Monday for Dali
las, Texas, to attend meeting OF the
stockholders of the company and to
make a survey of its holdings and al
fairs in order to bring back a report
concerning the progress OF the COM
pany to local investors.
More than two hundred thousand
dollars worth of the stock OF the Ga
tex company was bought by Terrell
county people, and in view of their eX-
tensive holdings in the concern it was
deemed proper that they should have
a personal representative at the annual
meeting OF the stockholders to be
held early in November at the home
office in Dallas. Judge Laing will car
ry with him the proxies of large
number OF these investors, and will
be in position to exercise no inconsid-
cradle part in the deliberations and
decisions of the annual meeting.
While in Texas Judge Laing will
look over the properties of the GateX
company, whose lease holdings are
very large, and bring back a detailed
report of the company's affairs for the
benefit of his fellow stockholders. He
expects to be gone for about ten days.

therefore not uncommon, and al
though this is two and 4 half inches
higher than the style which the war
conservation period made the limit
the change is one which many manu-
facturers and dealers are banking on
as sound and bound to be popular.
Tongueless boots, with open work
or cut-out designs, laced with rib
bons and intended to display the no.
siery, are among the novelties which
are already serving to bridge the gap
between the warm-weather pump and
the new boots. 1t has previously been
commented that women are clinging
with real affection to their strap
pumps and to the plain Oxford, but
when time for this change comes
they can make it without much diff
Guilty.
Heels are for the most part of the
French style. ranging from l 7-8
inches to IA inches. The Cuban
heel is retaining it's popularity for
walking boots in plain brown and
black boots, and a few "Baby Louis"
heels are also seen for women who
like the French effect and yet do not
desire to wear the extreme heights.

standing feature of an enthusiastic

NEW COLORS IN
WOMEN'S FOOTWEAR
nD1cHT TINTS IN FETCHING
SHADES IN KID AND SUICIDES
ARE TO BE SEEN.

Although the backwardness of the
ann nm to a short time ago, grow
sea-; y, mart out of the warmth of In
ing i !. s,,mmer weather and in part out
ai"n Waiting attitude on the part OF
Of ",,,bIic. tended to leave the shoe
tn oda somewhat in the dark as to
tt tsio preferences, as far as the con-
SlyaG o, was concerned, the opinion
S stijI prevails that the popular foot
S Snar will call for brighter colors in
Va VA and suede feathers than have
h hl@ worn for several years.
Inst before the United States en-
torod the war shoe styles in this
oonntrv had reached point where
tIo footwear produced for women
w rr,s probably the most attractive in
the ~1 history of the art, an array of
oiovnrIv designed patterns, produced
" a wide variety of colors- and
abodes making the shoe for the
Anonrican woman a real thing of
beauty.
Lack of the skins necessary to pro-
ducc new kid feathers, 95 per cent of
these skins being imported, and a
shortage of dyes due to the same
cause, CenQeQ 10 iHdhC IL ulHlCuLI W
nroduce materials from which these
attractive shoes had been made.
Now that the war is over, there
fare and the world in general is try
inc to forget it, it is entirely natural
that there should be a reaction
against the plain and, in some re-
snects. unattractive styles which have
nrevailed. The enthusiasm with which
women have taken coquettish low
shoes models during the past eight
months shows strikingly the way
their preference lies, and the prepa-
rations which have been made by
leading shoemakers and dealers in
dicates that there will be even more
attractive models available for the
late fall and winter, featured by a
return to color.
Medium dark shades of blue, in
soft kid. suede and satin, are among
the new offerings, while several
shades of gray, including pearl, are
also seen.
New Shades Are Shown.
The new color known as camel,
which was referred to in this column
not long ago, bids fair to be popular.
It is close to what was formerly
known as champagne, but as cham
payne is now entirely out of the run
ming the new name was adopted.
Henna. a shade which many of the
fair sex have adopted for their hair,
is one of the newest of the shoe col
Ors and will probably be widely worn.
In the way of patterns, the extent
to which style leaders have exerted
themselves to devise entirely original
designs is really remarkable. The re-
suit goes beyond the offerings of a
few years back, an array of patterns
of striking attractiveness being per.
haps the most conspicuous feature of
the season, aside from the return to
color
Designers, without exception, de-
clare that the extremely short skirts
beng worn call for high boots, and
THEW offerings are very largely franz

Once Blushing Maiden.

Now, there was time-even some
of the present generation can remem-
Der it-when the "proposee" was we
shy and blushing maiden With one
hand in his, she would shrink timidly
away, just enough-of course, not too
much-When her gallant lover. pied
on has knees, that her answer might
be Eyes"
Then came the day, not quite so
long ago, when this same shy and
blushing maiden, in her kindness OF
heart, eager to help him out of his
embarrassment, watched every chance
unobtrusively to make his way easier
for him. OF course, she couldn't do
his proposing for him. Oh, no, that
wasn't done But gentle, unadvertised
cooperation she could and would give.
Now Is Brave.
But now-what with war work and
suffrage and all-she feels it scarcely
up to dignity OF her new position to
sit idly by and let him do all the work.
True, she is unversed-handicapp
by lack Of long experience-in the art
of proposing But any Miss America
let such trihes stop her while there are
books in the library and questions to
ask and people to observe? Hardly.
So if any bachelor among you
Graves further bachelorhood, he'd best
be wary. Leap year is an aggravation,
you know It's the very time to take
the plunge and get in practice, she
argues to herself. And if she fails with
one it's no more than has happened
to lots of men in their day.
There are many more unprotected
and unwarned masculine prospects,
she knows.
And you may be next!
