Paris, March 22.-Though skirts
are decidedly long, the Parisienne
has by no means lost interest in her
ankles and feet. Hosiery and shoe
styles grow more fascinating every
day. There is clever Russian
boot of soft russell leather with a
wide band of embroidery around
the top which comes just below the
knee. This Russian footgear is
mounted upon slashed patent leath-
er slippers with high heels, which
are far less clumsy than the some
what stubby Russian yamp. An
other new device is a three-inch
band of scarlet or dent de lion yell

around the black satin, dancing slip

no other ornament than three or
four cleverly arranged kid folds
across the slightly pointed front.

CORN.

Tell you what, it's fun to be
Just a little boy like me
When the blizzard starts to blow,
lllng up the streets with snow,
And the wind goes %shrieking past
Doors and windows bolted fast,
And you can't go out, and you
wonder what you're going to Do
II your father says: I'VE might
Pop a little corn tonight"
Then we gather round the Are
Mnh the pepper made Of wire,
And we shake an never stop
TIL the corr begins to pop,
Dancing UP and down and back
With a fast and furious crack
Till it can't hold any more:
Then Pa just unlocks the door
And he tiips it with a swish
Into Mothers baking dish.
sometimes Pa he lets me take
OF 1t and help him shake,
II | watch the popcorn swell
I'LL 1t bursts just like a shell.
AND he says: Now don't you stop
Shaking there to watch it bon!
Keep 1t moving to and fro,
Till it's all as white as snow.
When it's finished, if you wish
You can put it in the dish"
You can bet it's fun to be
Just a little boy like me
When the wind begins to moan
And the doors and windows groan.
It your father looks about.
knowing that you can't go out,
YaWhs a bit. and says to you:
Tell you. Sonny, what we'll do,
We can have some fun all right.
Well just pop sone corn tonight.~
