Evening Slippers of Suede
Have Jewel-Studded Heels

The jeweled heel is the dernier
cri Of the evening mode. The
heel itself is more conservative
and much more subdued than in
the Immediately preceding sea-
sons, but this comparative sever
ity is more than compensated for
by the garish brilliance of the
studded jewels. These stand out

Paris Skirts Fourteen Inches
From Heel; Longer Here

Consider first the skirt length,
which has been a much mooted
question since the revolutionary
days of the war. One season
long, one season short, its only
consistency is its certainty to
change. This season Paris has
insisted on very short skirts.
reaching on an average to no more
than eight inches below the knee.
1t is not surprising that the Amer
lean woman, the slimness of whose
ankles is proverbial, should have
espoused this style with some de-
gree of enthusiasm-but, always
little more dignified than the
Parisienne, she has tempered her
acceptance with becoming mod
esty.
Admitting the influence of
Paris, but subjecting it to domes-
tic revision, the approved skirt
length this side the Atlantic has
been established at about ten
inches above the ground-and it
marks a decided improvement
both in poise and dignity over
the French frocks.
Another instance wherein the
word of Paris was accorded some
thing less than it wonted reception
concerns itself with the widely
bruited strictly tailored suit. Not
that there has been any hesitancy
about accepting the O'Rossen styl-
ed costume. Far from it. The
trim, severe lines, the short hip
length jackets and above all the
splendidly conceived materials OF
the Paris designed tailleur place
it in the front ranks of the new
clothes. But in France the suit
is necessity, an absolute essen
tial. No Parisienne dares com
plete her wardrobe without a.
least one of these mannish cos
tunes. Which is not the case on
these less impulsive shores. Wheth-
er from fear that the suit would
become vulgarized through a too

Along about the middle of the

perhaps bouffant, perhaps flaring

necessary consequence, will come
a greater simplicity of trimming.

extended vogue, or from a sense
of innate conservatism, the fact
remains that the response of the
American woman to the rigidly
tailored vogue has not nearly
measured up to expectations. OF
course it's safe acquisition-the
severe suit will be decidedly en-
regle this season and even more
so next-but it is not prescribed.

Lizard and Patent Kid

brown and gray-but decidedly

and demode. For wear with
black clothes-and black is wide

Pagan Jewelry
Dominates the
Spring Mode
Cclorful Gems in Barbaric
Shapes and Colors Con-
trast With the Severity Of
the Mannish Tailleur.

Easter jewelry will piquantly
contrast with the severe mascu-
Unity of the tailleur. The man.
nish tailored suit around which
much interest has conferred will
undoubtedly be one of the feat
ures of the Easter parade, and to
dark-suited feminity colorful &C
cessories, and in particular color
full jewelry, are demanded.
The rich barbaric type of jewel
ry is now displayed by women of
fashion, according to Cartier, who
shows bracelets of red gold set
with emeralds, diamonds and
onxy, and so-called "slave" brace
lets of heavy chain links in uni
que designs. The flexible setting,
so long the reigning favorite,
seems to have given way, at least
temporarily, to the solid bangle
type of bracelet. AS many as six
of these are sometimes worn on
the wrist, hanging loosely.
Barbaric Jewelry Includes
Red Gold and Colorful Gems
1t is strange that at this stage
of modern life, where the free
dom of woman is expressed not
only in her actions but in the bor-
rowing of the superficial aspects
of mems garments, there should
be, at the same time, a wave OF
popularity for jewelry of a bar
barrie nature, almost a "throw.
back" to the days when women
were slaves to men. Red gold ap'

precious colored gems, emerald:
and rubies encroach upon the

monds. Bangles, girdles, hatpin:
as gorgeous as the jewels of ar
Eastern potentate, are worn by
the women of this hemisphere.
And, after all, this is not sc
strange. Fashion, working through

But We Accept French
Silhouette and Trimmings

AS to the silhouette and the
trimming details of the new Paris
dresses, they have been Endorsed
without qualification. The slim
outline is even more acceptable
this side of the Atlantic than in
Paris, inasmuch as the typical
American girl has more youthful

which is the fitting accomplish
ment of the masculine tailleur.
On these the originality of both
milliner and jeweler meet happily.
There are ieweled buckles and fob
ornaments, usually in diamonds.
The jeweled hatpin, worn in front
of the hat crown, is another re-
cent innovation. This is shown
in onyx and diamonds with red
gold.
The slipper which completes the
tailored mode is again feminized
by buckle, sometimes jeweled.
A quaint conceit is the use of the
initials in diamonds, either placed
at the front of the shoe or slightly
to the side.
To further enhance the Easter
suit the flat under-arm bag still
leads in popularity. While this
may be of brocade or other mate
rails, the preferred mode is de-
veloped in black silk with dia-
mond initials.
The light equipment which
mademoiselle carries with her for
incidental repairs and for the pur-
suit of Lady Nicotine is an es-
sential part of the costume. Fol
lowing the principle of simplicity
in costume and ornamentation in
accessories, these vanity and Gig
arctic cases are extremely elabor-
ate. They are developed in gold
and enamel set with diamond
monograms and also in silk with
jeweled monographs. They are
oblong or oval in form and some
of them are equipped with vanity
necessities on one side and smok-
ing Injuries on the other.
Aids to Beauty Hidden
In Tassel Ornaments
The tassel plays an extremely
important part in the accessories
of dress. And the raison, d'etre
for this tassel is the lipstick,
which madame now uses quite
without restraint, for the newest
within is to have your lips as red
as possible, perhaps to match the
vivid scarf of scarlet silk which
is worn tightly about the neck.
Several of the accessories on
today's page illustrate the differ
ent ways in which the lipstick is
concealed by a tassel. The pow
der box in the left of the two
squares above is of platinum and
onyx with a concealing tassel of
black silk.

ing world. Now ideas, some
quite radical, were exhibited-ce--
tain old motifs were retained, and
descriptions and sketches of the
new Paris suggestions were broad
cast to wherever smart women
gathered. The readers of this
page are familiar with these sug-
gestions-they know that the new
Paris silhouette is straight and af-
fectedly simple, that French skirts
miss the ground by some fourteen
inches, that elaboration is the es-
sence of the current mode and that
pleat, flounce and tunic are the
principal manifestations. They
have seen sketches of the beltless
frock and of the low waistline, the
severe tailleur and the three-quar-
ter length coat.
The next and,i to most women,
the most important phase of the
springtine mode concerns the ex-
tent to which the recent innova-
tons will be Endorsed. For fem
ininity, despite ideas to the con-
trary, does not leap boldly from
one extreme to another, preferring
rather to slowly absorb new ideas
and adopt them gradually and in
a modified form.

 "Hes here!'
 As the door closed the grim realization came to Lawlor that he could not face the tenderfoot-his staring eyes and his pallor would betray him even if the jerking of his hands did not. He swung about in the com fortable chair, seized a book and whisking it open bowed his head to read. All that he saw was dance of irregular black lines; voices sounded through the hall outside.
 Again the door yawned and closed.

 The cowpuncher turned in his chair What he saw was slender fellow, who stood with his head somewhat lowered, while his eyes peered down from under contracted brows, as though the light were hurting them. His feet were braced apart and his hands dropped lightly on his hips-the very pie ture of a man ready to spring into action.
 Under the great brush of his moustache, Lawlor set his teeth, but he was instantly at ease; for if the sight of the stranger shook him to the very center, the other was even more obviously shocked by what he saw. The hands dropped limp from his hips and dangled idly at his side; his body

 "Him? Yes; little bit like you-but he's got his thickness through the stomach and not through the chest"
 "Never mind. He's big and he's gray. Send for him, and get the rest of the boys in here"
 In ten minutes they came to the office and big, flat and thin, but good cattemen,
 "Boys," said Drew, "a tenderfoot is com ing to the ranch today. Pm going to play few jokes on him. First of all, want you to know that until the stranger leaves He is going to be Drew. Understand?"
 "And brand that deep," growled Lawlor, looking about with frown.
 He had already stepped into his part; the others laughed loudly.
 Steady therev called Drew. "Lawlor starts as boss right now. Cut out the laugh ing. I'll tell the rest of you what you're to do later on. In the meantime just step out and I'll have talk with Lawlor on his part"
 They filed out of the room, looking seri- ous, and Drew concentrated on Lawlor.

The man he wants is l.; but he knows my face, not my name. He's been on the trail of that face for some time, and now he's tracking it to the right house; but when he sees you and hears you called Drew, he'll be thrown off again.
 The other nodded gloomily.
 "There are certain things about me you will have to know" And Drew explained carefully the story which Nash had told to Bard.
 Lawlor rubbed his hands, like one coming from the cold outdoors to a warm fire Drew left him to complete the other arrangements. If Bard reaches the house he must be re- quested to stay and if he stayed, he must be fed and entertained. The difficulty in the way of this was that the servants in the big ranchhouse were two Chinese boys.

 Shorty Kilrain received his early educa- tion at sea and learned there general hardi- ness which stood him in stead when he came to the mountain desert. There was nothing which Shorty could not do with hands, from making a knot to throwing knife, and he was equally ready to oblige with either ac- complishment Drew proposed that he take charge of the kitchen with Calamity Ben as an assistant.
 This arrangement completed the setting of the stage for the play that was intended to be comedy.
