New Note in Stylish Footwear
for the Street.
Young Girls Are Wearing This Model
for Dancing, in Satin to Match
Gowns.

A new note in footwear is a low
square leather heel for street wear.
which big city shops report as a 'best
seller" This fashion is said to be in
Splred by the low-heeled slippers worn
IN successful musical comedy. The
young girls are wearing the low
heeled model for dancing, in satin to
match their gowns; a touch of the
victorian, in harmony with wider and
beruffled skirts.
Inc favOrite for street wear seems
TO be this low-heeled model in patent
leather. The fringed tongue, which
originally was used only on brogues,
haS been adopted for afternoon and
evening wear. White kid oxfords with
French heels are shown with the
Irlnged tongue, and the latest adapta-
tlOn is seen in a black satin slipper
with a solid black satin piece, the
ends of which are fringed with cut
steel beads. These are items that are
well to remember when one is shop
ping for ones midsummer and fall
footwear.
There has been a new feature in the
decoration Of hand bags, in the use of
the seed bead in the making of the
solid beaded bag. But used with this
is the large nailhead bead.
From abroad come interesting ideas
OF the exploitation of the black and
white vogue in the neckwear field for
the coming season. Organdie is still
the chief fabric medium, and touches
of black are given by means of black
Organdie appliques usually in straight
narrow bands as often as edging, and
by chainstitch embroidery in black.
Gauntlets continue to be in the glove
field, these being shown in plain styles

STYLES IN NEW YORK

Capes for practical use are often
made reversible, one side dark serge,
the other light canton crepe.
A sleeveless sport coat of brown
velours is bound on all edges with a
bright shade of blue leather.
midsummer cape suit shows a
skirt and cape Of white flannel striped
in green. The cape Is lined in green
crepe de chine, this same material be-
ing used for the long slip-Over blouse
worn over the skirt.
A smart sport skirt of wool striped
in vivid shades is fringed at the bot
tom and fastens all the way down the
left side with buttons and loops. There
is a single huge pocket placed very
low at the right side. The wide sash
is weighted with wool fringe on the
ends.
Jabots of laces or organdies are
worn with every strictly tailored suit.
Very chic the red leather hat worn
with the white flannel sport suit. Red
crepe de chine lines the short flaring
Jacket. the oval shaped panel on front
of the skirt is also worked ir a red
stitchery.
What lovely bathing accessories are
seen in the New York shops! Have
you already seen the charming sepa-
rate girdles made entirely of rubber
fiowers2 They are really exquisite
and would transform the plainest suit
into a thing of beauty. They are love
ly in color and as well made as the
evening cordelieres.
To carry at the seashore, the lead
ing houses show huge Chinese para
soils painted in exotic colors and
boasting exceedingly long handles.
They are pretty and must be very

HAVE ONE EVER-READY FRoCK
Crepe de Chine or Other Silk, Prefer
ably Dark, Affords Gown When
Needed in Haste.

In your wardrobe for summer there
should always be an attractive frOck
of crepe de chine other silk, prefer
ably of dark cOlOr-sOmething that you
can be sure of and can fall back on
when the orgapdies have all become
mHssed and lighter clothes have be-
come soiled. You always think that it
will be so easy to press your own
frocks with little iron. But in your
busy days you do not take time and
you may be caught with nothing to
wear unless you take some substantial,
serviceable frOck that looks well any
way.
An evening frock of black or brown
lace or net is also good emergency
addition to your summer wardrobe.
This is not the type of evening frOck
you would select for summer evenings,
but it is sure to look presentable and
needs only a little attention to make
ii look fresh. Often all that it needs

Desiuners Have outdone Previous Ef'
forts in Providing Winsome Attire
for Children.

! Children's garments are more allur-
ing this summer than ever before. De-
signers seem to have outdOne all pre-
vious efforts along that line. The
shops are filed with pretty novelties
that may be purchased all ready to
wear. or that serve equally well as
suggestions for the benefit of the
mother who makes her children's
clothes.
Little kindergarten designs in the
form of small sun-bonneted figures are
appliuued on frocks and aprons to
form pockets. These pockets may be
made of the same plaid material used
for cuffs and sash, or match the dress
and embroidery cotton.
There is a very pronounced fancy
this summer for hats and bOnnets to
match all frocks designed for members
of the younger generation. When the
frock is of the tailored type, straw
hat is often preferred to one made Of
fabric, but if the dress is at all OF the
lingerie type, then the preference
seems to be for fabric hats or bon
nets. Lovely organdie hats are often
trimmed with bands or appliqued mo-
tifs of checked gingham. Such a hat
NAV be worn either with an Organdie
or a gingham frock. Many dainty lit
fIe hats are made of cOlored dotted
swiss or of cOlored dotted swiss in
combination with plain color or white.

scheme of hat and frock. Many moth

A SERIOUS SITUATION
The American People Must Solve
Their Housing Problem
by Saving.
BY EDGAR TAYLOR WAEELocK.

Copyright. 1871. American Press League)
a news report printed the morning
this Is written announces that the sen
ate committee on Reconstruction and
production Of which Senator ". NJ.
Calder Of New York Is chairman, gives
especial attention to the housing prob
lem. The report says the committee
regards the situation as serious and be
iieyes effective measures for relief
must be taken at once, and that al
ready the health and morals of per
sons living In large centers are affect
ed"
How We Met Serious Situations.
Do you remember how serious stu
atoms were met during the war?
Belgium and northern France were
invaded by hostile armies and the peo-
pie Of those territories were in danger
of starvation. Great Britain, France
and llaly must have food.
Then came our own entry into the
war and money must be raised to send
an army across the ocean 5000 miles ;
to arm, feed and clothe that army and
keep 1t supplied with munitions. Sure
ly, there were serious situations a.
plenty then.
An appeal was sent out to the Amer
lean people to saye-and they saved.
In other countries citizens were put on
food ratlons; in this country the saw
ing was voluntary. With the excep-
ton OF sugar and Hour Americans could
buy all they wanted and enough of
those articles was permitted to meet
all reasonable requirements.
Now Gomez the Housing Problem.
And Americans fed the world for
years; Americans furnished money to
raise, arm and equip an army Of more
than three million men and send them
across the water; America loaned the
allies something like ten billions of dol
lars.
Now comes housing problem that
is also pronounced serious and con-
gress IS considering taking steps to
find a solution.
Same Old Soiution--Save.
The American people must attend to
the job themselves. They must save.
as they did during the war period, and
build homes. They must organize by
communities for this purpose. 1t is
not laws that are required, but
foundations, walls and roofs-houses.
Laws did not feed the allies and win
the war. 1t was the savings Of the
people that did 1t.
There are ways in which individuals
may use their savings in buying
homes; any banker will furnish Infor-
nation as to how this can be done: all
that is required Is steady occupation
and viii to save. The rest Is easy.

the only safe means by which funds
may be accumulated TO meet emergen-

The Mission OF Savings Banks.
1t Is to encourage thrift and frugal.
ity that savings banks are established.

In the family, savings account Is In.
dispensable. Also such an account

business venture which promises to be

late $40 each month: by depositing this
amount In savings bank monthly, at
the end of five years the depositor' Will
have accumulated s647.63.
At any time during the five years
after 500 or more has been saved the
deposition may convert his savings into
dlvidend-paying stocks or interest

interest rate.
Not Permanent investment.
1t Is not Intended that savings ac-

these securities may be used as col
