LOOKING AT LEcIsLATURE

With only handful remaining or legislative days, the situation at the capitol is not encouraging, especially to the women who had made certain modest requests in the way of social legislation. Of the 20 measures sup ported by the Legislative Council of Alabama Women, representing prac- tically all statewide organizations of women, only one has been satis- factorily passed, namely the acceptt- ance of the provisions of the national Sheppard Towner act, matching fed eral money with state money in ma ternity and infancy aid work. This bill was passed at the first session. The age of consent, o-guardianship, and provision for the appotntm ent of women on state boards, all are hang ing before committees. The eight hour day for women In industry bill has, so far as we know, never been introduced, nor has its companion bill providing for a cessation of work six weeks before and six weeks after childbirth.
 All appropriation bills are faring badly on account of the serious financial difficulties into which the present administration has plunged

There is a new musical com edy which opened in New York in June and has had good reviews and criticisms. Helen of Troy, N Y," is very clever and well scored. It has several song numbers that will catch the public ear. Its dance features are unusual and blend with the musical side well. And there are others.

tured at the Royal Theater this week.

With five beautiful scenes, one Of
them depicting a volcano in action !;
tive Hawaiians who appeared in the
original Chicago production Of the
play, and with an exceptionally strong
cast of lends to carry the unusually
strong plot, ''The Bird of Paradise"
promises to establish a new record for
the players here.
While scenically, the production is
wonderful, the play itself must not be
lost sight of. for it is one of the
strongest and best the Edna Park
company has yet produced in San An
tonic. There are two love stories
wound through the plot, both vital
and gripping and human, and there is
a constant play of contrasts that bring
out the play of human emotions.
And there is, too, the exceptionally
strong character work in the play,
the work of Jack Edwards showing
the degeneration of man, giving him
an excellent opportunity to display an
entirely different Jack Edwards to
San Antonians, while Edouard D'Oize,
as the regenerated man, has an equal.
ly excellent opportunity for character
ization work.
Edna Park, in the role made famous
in the original Belasco production by
Lenore Ulrich, is again the talented
Edna. but in altogether new type that
makes her all the more lovable and
attractive.
Jack Robertson, new addition to
the players, will also make his bow
to San Antonians in THE Bird Of
Paradise"

an enviable reputation as a character
actor here. will appear in the role
made famous by Theodore Roberts ir

Riot of COlOred
Shoes in n. Y.
BY HEDDA HOYT

NEW YORK, n. y, April 26.--
Spring costumes have blossomcd
out on Fifth Avenue almost over
/ night. While q few women are still
! wearing the winter fur coats, the
great ma iCrity have stored them
away in moth balls within the last
two weeks.
The assortment of spring styles is
more varied this year than ever be
fore, owing to the innovation of the
EgyI tian styles and the brilliantly
colored shoes. Never before has
there been such an array of color
on the Avenue. \ few months back
the appearance of a red street shoe
would have 0ccasioned a riot, but
today the percentage of bright red
and green shoes is so great that one
no longer pays any Intention To
them.
In fact, one Of the favorite modes
of the moment is the black street
costume worn with red hat, red
shoes and red handbag. Often
gloves also carry out the note of red
with stitching or embroidery. Usual
" light gray or tan stockings are
worn with the red slipper.
The blue shoe is also popular and
is worn with the blue costume suit.
With the Paisley wraps and the bril-
liantly colorcd Egyptian coats, both
bronze and purple shoes are seen as
well ~ those of red and green.
Spring Wraps
The most popular coat of the
season is the long straight lined
garment, which crosses in surplice
effect in front and ties or buckles
on the left hip.

cape of gray Canton crepe with
each tier edged with gray squir-
rel.
Short fur .jacguettes Of caracul or
summer ermine worn with pleated
skirts are very popular just now.
Beige predominates over other
shades.
Spring Pickups
Paisley handbags beaded in steel
beads are noticed often. For utii-
ty wear, envelope purses OF pressed
leather in Egyption desikns and
colors are popular.
Jacquette suits of tan camel's
hair are popular with the younger /!
girls. They tie with q tan ribbon |
