Although both Navy pilots would
not have won the race if they had
stayed in the air, Lieut.. Cuddihy
would have finished second and Lieut..

the darker tones, with a very trans
parent black for wear with black
evening shoes, and mole and tete
de negre for afternoon wear.
BY all means bear this in mind:
The shortening of skirts and the in
PRODUCTION of increased fullness at
the hem line tends to accontuate the
size OF the feet. While fashion de-
mands that your feet be shod with
distinction, good sense ought to pre-
vent you from wearing any shoes or
stockings SO striking as to throw
your feet unduly into the foreground.
The shoemakers are doing their best
to make your fee. look small, which
really is important nowadays. The

three sizes too small-wea earing fives

very low sport shoe Is worn only for
actual sports. It is left in the tennis
locker with the racket and balls,
while a higher -heeled shoe is put on for
everything but actual participation in
sports.
Oxfords are chosen by certain well
dressed women. Plain opera pumps
are considered smarter than those
with straps. While high heels are the
rule on most American shoes the
heel is not extreme save for the So
called spike heel that is made for the
benefit of the women who want to
follow most closely in the wake of
Paris. Heels are used as the vehicle
for various sorts of trimming. and
perhaps this is a good plan, for the
brilliant or striking heel detracts
from the body of the shoe, making
the foot seem somewhat smaller than
Ii is. With some of the colored satin
slippers to be worn with matchin &
frocks there are heels studded with
stones of the same color. Amethyst
stones richly fret the heel of a violet
satin slipper worn with a frock of
a somewhat lighter tone of violet.
Rhinestones embellish the heels of
silver brocade slippers.
The light brown or blonde shades
are enjoying considerable popularity
for the Spring, but if the choice of
well dressed women at Southern re-
sorts this season may be taken as
prophetic then we must be prepared
for a change before long. Frankly,
the blonde tones were not so smart

Who Laughs Last.

Nobody is going to fool me this

| April Fools day everybody tried to
| catch me, but was on my guard and
| there wasn't anybody got a chance to
| yell April fool at me. Believe me,
I'm wise to all their tricks"
His mother, who had already failed
in her effort to get him to come to
the window and see the runaway"
| smiled, but his sister looked a little
grim. She was growing tired of Jim
my's endless know-it-all ways.
| When Jimmy came home at noon
| she greeted him with her sweetest
smile. "Oh, Jimmy" she said, Il just
| mixed UP batch of fudge as soon as
got home and it's about cool enough
| to eat Would you like a piece" She
| brought in the fudge, neatly cut in
i squares.
Jimmy backed away. "Say, that's
| an old one. I've been fooled on that
| cotton fudge before. I'm not so dumb
as you seem to think"
His sister shrugged her shoulders
! and set the fudge away, without
touching any herself, at which Jimmy
| looked very wise.
In the evening when he came home
| from school again she was waiting
| For him. "Oh, Jimmy she announced.
| here are A couple of movie tickets
| They're comps that Mr. Brewster gave
me when I stopped in his store. I'm
! awfully busy and ] can't use them.
| Why don't you take some one and go
tonight?'
Jimmy held his bands behind him.
You're not SO good" he grinned.
THAT old tightwad, Mr.. Brewster,
| never gave anybody anything. why
! don't you try to catch me on some
thing else?"
Just then their mother called them
to go to the store for her. They had
| a number of things to get which re-
quired both of them to carry. AS they
went along Jimmy's foot kicked some
thing. 1t was g. small pocketbood

night as he and his sister started to
go up to bed. Another perfect rec
ord for me. Nobody caught me on a
single April fool joke"
'Indeed!' exclaimed his sister. "rd

fooled worse! In the first place, that
fudge was real and good. Mother and

appearance at smart resorts is the
conservative choice of many very
well dressed women.
Then there is that other problem
concerning the choice of stockings
for evening wear. And here again
authorities differ. If you follow the
fashion OF wearing evening slippers
of satin just a shade darker than
your frock, then your stockings
should be of a pastel shade of the
same general tone. If you wear
silver or gold kid or brocade then
your stockings should be of a silvery
or golden tone. AS a decided inno-
walton some women are wearing very
sheer black stockings with black and
silver or black and gold brocade Slip
pers with black evening frocks.
y 4 \
IF you wish to strike a rather
l. daring note then by all means wear
with your silver or gold brocade evening
slippers stockings made of metal tissue.
They are very fine and not uncomfort-
able, and the story will doubtless go
about that you are wearing stockings
of real gold tissue that cost, dear knows
how much, while as a matter Of fact
these metal stockings are not gold
at all and cost not much more than
any other bit of sheer hosiery.
Beaded stockings are another nov
city that appeal to some women as
being well chosen for evening, and
then there are the elaborately jew
eled stockings which were first worn
in Paris, some of them with clocks
outlined with more or less-usually
less-precious jewels, one sort with
a basket device across ankle and in
N hor
showing a circlet around the ankle
for all the world like a diamond
anklet. But such flummery makes
not much appeal to the woman OF
conservative taste, either here or
abroad

servative women abroad there has

TIME subject of shoes. stockings
and gloves never before pre-
sented so many or such in
teresting questions as 1t does
this Spring. 1t is no longer
possible to lay down certain definite
rules concerning convention and
fashion in these twentieth century
coverings for our arms and legs,
.hands and feet.
For instance, you may wear with
your white kid or doeskin afternoon
pumps white stockings, nude stock
ings or stockings of a pastel tone
to harmonic with the color used in
trimming your white afternoon frock.
One well dressed woman will tell you
quite emphatically that the really
smartest women are not wearing
nude stockings with white shoes
this season, another will tell you that
only the old fogies wear all-white
stockings. another will tell you that
the pastel shades matching the dress
trimming or accessory are quite the
latest fashion, having originated
among well dressed women at Lido,
Venice, last Summer, while others
will be as emphatic that with the
we'll dressed younger women there Is
nothing so smart as the thin nude
stocking with white footwear. And
perhaps some one else VIII tell you
that all-white footwear isn't so new
or so smart as blonde or other
natural tones.
So you see the issue is rather
clouded. One thing is certain and
that is that to be we'll dressed this
Spring you have to give painstaking
attention to these details. Whatever
plan you adopt with regard to your
white shoes you must follow it out
with explicit care. Choose whether
you will wear pure white, flesh or
pastel to match the color of your
frock and it's accessories, rem ember-

pUT the girl of today has no such
II old-time notions about her feet.
For girlish dreams nowadays never
center round a life of Incidence and
ease. The modern girl wants to dance
and play golf and go places and do
things that make tight shoes almost
impossible. So the shoemakers have
had to come forward, and they now
make shoes that look as small as pos
sible, This means that the vamp is
rather short and that the toe is round
ed-so as to make the toe of the shoe
not much longer than the toes of the
foot Moreover, heels are high. The

Things Which Are Of Interest to Younger Re
Card Trick Fools.

Here is a card trick which de-
pends entirely upon having the deck
fixed long before the trick is worked
and upon the apparent innocence of
the performer. To work II, take
your deck-which is just an ordinary
deck-and ask some one to pick out
any card at random.
Then have the card put back in
the deck. Square the deck up so
there are no protruding edges, cut
once or twice-look at the cards
swiftly and announce what the card
selected was.
The way the deck is prepared makes
il simple. Sort out all the suits and
arrange them so they run from ace
to the two and then put them in the
deck-spades, hearts. diamonds, Clubs
Whenever a card is moved 1t is easily
located, merely by taking d casual
look at the deck. If you use a. lot
of hokum and act mysterious the
trick will get across. Do not re-
peat it, and as soon as it is done,
shuttle the deck well so as to avoid
detection-Cap'n Zyb.

since gloves at one time toward the
close of the war and shortly after
seemed to be an almost dispensable
accessory of a woman's wardrobe.
Indoors and in Summer she went
without them and during the cooler
weather she kept her hands under
her ubiquitous cape. Goats and
Jackets were out of the picture.
Unless a woman drove car she
could get through a day at any time
of the year without gloves of any
sort. Now we do not wear them as
necessarily as in ante bellum days,
but they are much moro significant.
The fashionable woman attaches
much Importance TO the choice of her
glove, its ornamentation, and the
relation II bears to the rest of her
costume. Just now the shops are
showing ornamented gloves of a
surprisingly wide variety. They are
embellished with everything from
wooden beads to raffia and straw.
In the meantime there has been
Evening star., 1925-03-29

there as in some of the more north
erly cities. The best dressed French
women. moreover, are choosing dark
for street wear this Spring. Among
water which will probably never
meet with a warm reception among
fashionable folk here are the dark
green shoes made by some of the
leading French shoemakers for wear
with the dark green frocks and suits
now so much in favor along the
banks Of the Seine.
Serpent peltry still seems TO ap-
peal to the shoemakers. Crocodile
is ever so smart, while alligator has
become a trife common, which must
be good news to the alligator. Lizard
is quite all right and cobra is per-
fection These curious skins are
used TO trim daytime shoes and in
cidentally to add greatly to the price
of the shoes so adorned.

to trim a pair of brown kid slippers

the shoemakers VIII think OF next

movement: the woods resound with
songs and calls of every description,
many of which seem strange and
weird
It is at this time that the old woods
men bring out their story of the Gallo
pode. Listen to him making his mu-
sic ring through the woods" one of
them will say. Hes a jolly creature,
he is. Many's the time I've seen him
a-playing. He breathes in through a
hollow topknot in his head and
breathes out through his long trum-
petlike nose Then he plays tunes with
his fingers on two rows of holes on
his chest. He has about six or seven
fingers on each hand. The number
changes. I've noticed, with different

something OF a reaction in Paris
against the too pictorial gloves, and
word comes that among the most
discriminating women there the pre-
ferred glove consists of a Slipon
model, just long enough to cover the
wrist, with a tiny scalloped edge.
This is appropriate for afternoon
frocks, which are so often long
sleeved. The very short glove with
its stiff. narrow turn-back cuff is
chosen for the tailored frock, suit
or coat.
At present there seems to be
harmony between gloves and stock
ings. If you wear blonde shoes you
should certainly not wear white
gloves. and If you wear white shoes
you should not wear gloves of a
beige or ecru tone. The French
woman who seems to hold preju-
dice against the glaringly white
glace glove is not as a matter of fact so
addicted to white footwear as we are.
