Some women are never better
satisfied than when they are very
strictly following what they consider
the acceptable shoe style Of the mo.
ment. They want to wear the shoes
that Fashion dictates" That's IN
ambition worth striving after Then
there are other women who like 10
be little original in their selection
Of shoes. They like TO express their
individuality, TO reveal their true ego
or something like that I'm the color
or fashion Of the shoes they wear.
SO 1t is that one rather well known
French actress has been wearing pure
white kid slippers with pearl straps
and diamond heels artificial diamond,
to be sure. These white shoes have
attracted ConSidera bic attention for
the simple reason that most women
have been wearing blonde-colored slip
Pers or metal slippers or slippers
chosen to match exactly the color of
the frUck.
One wonders whether among the
present fappers, when they have
grown TO be glandmothers, there viii
be as many with misshapen or un-
comfortable. "crochetty" feet as there
are among the older women nowadays.
Very few of these women whose feet
don't behave properly would admit
that the cause of the trouble was that
they had ever worn too small shoes.
But Of course that really is the reason
with most Of them. There is still
as much desire to have dainty, trinity
shod feet as ever there was and shoes
are still pointed and high heeIed. but
the modern girl simply must have
shoes that are fairly comfortable IL
she wants TO dance, and Of course She
wants TO dance Moreover, during
long hours OF her existence, at ten
mis- or golf or swimming or any other
outdoor sport, she wears shoes that
are designed to give perfect freedom
to the feet Too, her shoes are very
much lighter. They are far better
ventilated and that means a great
deal 10 the hygiene Of the feet.

AS usual, the American woman is
quite conservative In taste regarding
the shape of her shoes. She avoids
anything that looks extreme in this
regard. She doesn't want to draw
undue attention to the shape of her
foot. Instead she looks with consid-
erable interest on the new ornaments
that give variety without making any
radical change. Buckles are very i'm
portant and so are ornamental heels.
Straps are made in a hundred differ
ent ways and in dozens of different
materials and then there is the new
trick of painting designs on the sides
of shoes.
MYTH shoes as with frocks there is
almost always something me-
tallic about them. This is true espe-
cially of evening slippers. A pair OF
silvered kid slippers has heels of gold
and a decoration of painted flowers
on the sides of the shoes, or "A pair
of turquoise sandals for evening has
silvered kid straps over the ankles
or a pink kid slipper has "a butterfly
of gold enamel and pink tulle by

NAMING SCHOOLS FOR HdISTRIOUS AMERICANS

Naming school buildings after illustrious Americans is good plan. so that the action of the School Committee in deciding 10 call the new building in the eastern end of the city the Theodore Roosevelt school can be highly commended. Yet in such matter no politics should enter. such as has taken place in the post office departments designation of special stamps for departed Republican presidents and none for departed Democratic presidents.
 One of the names before the School Committee was that Of Woodrow Wilson. There is no req son why new school should not be named after the great war pres- ident. It is not a matter of politics but one of common respect for a great man who was at the head of the nation during the most tragic time in the worlds history and who played an international role such as came to the lot of no other American president.
 There should be no hosltancI about honoring the memory of q great preeident by naming q schoo for him in the future.

ITS THE WEATHER NOT THE CLIMATE

There has been some grumbling about the chilly weather. Inter- spersed with the imprecations about "too much like winter" has been animadversions about the New Eng land climate.
 Mark Twain had it-or at least, all good bon mots are credited to the genial philosopher Of the '90's nowadays - that New England did not have a climate but merely bad weather.
 Just at this time there is many an otherwise loyal New EngIander who is inclined 10 agree with Twain about the weather: but this is no reason 10 agree with him regarding the lack of climate.
 For 1t isn't New England alone that has been experiencing the bone shaking weather, but a goodly part of the United States is shaking in unison. Haven't we had it spread before us tiat the frenzied world series crowds in both Pittsburgh and Washington have shiyercd as they shouted? And haven't We been in- formed that there has been snow in the west, and that the cold breezes extended from Maine to Texas -- Florida of course, excluded.
 No; this isn't primarily or ex- clusivcly New England weather We're only getting a little of what some other sections have been get ting.

 c, What Is the proper initial for a bride to put on household linen and silver?
 A. A great deal of latitude Is allowed in marking linen and sil- yer. You can use the initials of the maiden name or those of the mar ried name. It is popular just at present 10 use single initial of the married surname.
 c, Is there anything that can be put in plaster of Paris to keep 1t from setting too fast?
 A. Try adding q small amount of glue to the water used in mix. ing the plaster of Paris. A few trial mixes may have to be made 10 determine just what proportion of glue and water is best suited for the purpose for which 1t is to be used.
 c. Is 1t true that brightly pol ished objects have q special at- traction for lightning?
 A, No, They have no special at- traction for lightning. The idea that they do. seems 10 arise from tho fact that they reflect the light form the flash.
 c. What is the tax on cigar. cites sent to Germany
 A, They are taxed at the rate of 7,500 gold marks per hundred Kilograms.

COAL STRIKE CONTINUES
 AND WINTER NEAR

Tho winter is rushing on and a stir one Is forecast by amateur long distance weather sharks and some professionals, And while we note tho oncomlng hlcakness, the cold and the snow, miners in the anthracite coal fields remain idle.
 But this is not all President Coolidge and his administration has adopted the hands-oT policy; there has been no governmental at tempt al mediation. arbitration or investigation. Not even Governor Plnchot Of Pennsylvania, who upon previous occasion dashed in where governmental angels feared to tread co and got his fingers burned for his pains-has serious ly attempted 10 end the economic warfare.
 Perhaps it will be a different story when the supply Of anthra- cite coal runs low. Up until the present there has been a large sur- plus somewhere; at least. John Hays Hammond, former head of the government Coal Commission.

REMEMBERING A GREAT
 SEA ADVENTURE

Today our thoughts are turned back to a little ship with courage ous commander which crossed the then unknown Atlantic ocean for the first time. Colun>Aus Day Is a species Of public holiday in 34 states, in most of which official recognition of the great explorers crownlng achievement came rather late.
 Christopher Columbus opened the route to the greatest addition of continents to the known world in the history of mankind. It cannot happen again because there are no others to add. except perhaps an ice-bound small continent whose existence is suspected in the Arctic seas.
 Let us contemplate anew the courage of Columbus in pointing the bow of his little vessel due west and plunging into the vast unknown spaces.
 Sooner or later someone would have discovered the new world. 1t is said; but civilization had bloomed and passed many times before the ride owed the abysmal deeps was at- temped. It is now more than 400 years since Columbus played with fate and fortune, Suppose he had not done 1t at that time, and the discovery of America had been postponed until a century or two later? The entire history of the world would have been different and perhaps there would not have been a United States-the new landt 1 discovered may never have wrench ed themselves free from the inf1u- ences of empire.

SUMMER NOT GOOD
 ENOUGH ID PLEASE
English People Not Satisfied
 With Weather

London, Oct, 12 P)--The British are gossiping about the summer that has just gone-the first sum- mer, to the mind of an alien ob- server. that this island folk have seen since 1921. But 1t was not satisfactory summer; no summer ever is in Finland.
 Vixen it rains 1t rains too much and when 1t does not rain it is too dry to suit the farmers. Usually it rains too much, which IS why everybody hastens to explain to the newcomers the existence of say ing that the English summer con- sists of two sunny days and a thunderstorm.
 The latter part of May and al most the whole of June were bright and warm this year, the brightest months England has enjoyed since the drought of 1921. Even duffers got golf drives of 250 yards, so long a run did the hard ground give a truly hit ball. Cricket and tennis matches so often stopped by show CTS were halted during the early summer only when 1t was time for tea.
 July began well, but before It was over the climate got back to nor malcy-a little sunshine and lot of rain. During August sunshine and rainfall was about average. Un- fortunately August is the month for the conventional middle classes to take their conventional holidays at the seaside, especially if one has children. Usually the weather is better in June, but August IS the month. when the schools are shut. So, due to a rather cool and wet August, the summer as a whole pro- voked as much complaint as ever. The philosophical Englishman will tell you 1t Is just as well, for the people have to have something to "grouse" about, and 1t is best they vent their accumulated annoyances on the climate.
