Little Black Sambo's lovely purple

fashion tendencies revealed at South

few years ago women hesitated at
buying them. They were afraid they
would be fearfully commonplace be-

when a fashion is revived, as is the
case with colored leather shoes at
present, there is no danger that it
will be over-popular or passe for
many months. So if you banker for a

can find them by all means buy them.
The fashion, | believe, started In
Paris as a result of the revived
interest in navy blue frocks, wraps,
suits and hats.
The revival of the oxford is about

Really. Of course, Cinderella's slip
pers We're not glass at all, and au-
thorities on such matters think that
the. nursery books ought to be re-
vised so that our children might no
longer be so misinformed. When the
story first appeared in English 1t was
translation from an old French
fairy story. In the original the slip
pers We're called "vair.' and the trans
lator took that to be an old form OF the
French word for glass. which is verre.
As a matter of fact. it meant a sort of
fur. To this day in descriptions of
heraldic devices-COats-of arms, creSts,
etc.-the word yair is used TO indicate
one of the heraldic furs. The other
one is ermine.
So. while it would have been a very
pretty idea TO have had Cinderella
dance in glass slippers, it was much
more probable that she danced in slip
pers of fur. For fur slippers were
very generally worn at the time when
Cinderella was written in old French.

You have probably read some OF

Chandler Harris. but have you ever
heard how he came to write these
stories?
It was entirely an accident. Har.
ris was a paragrapher on the staff
of the Atlanta Constitution. One
day the editor of department that
included stories for children failed
to get his material ready. The paper
had to go to press and some one had
to write something to fill the space
left vacant. The editor of the paper
asked Harris to do it and Harris.

Remus.
So satisfactory was the story that
when the department editor returned
he found that Harris was running
his column. For a long time the
Uncle Remus sketches continued to
appear. Harris did not think they
were particularly good-to him they
were just part of the days work. But
soon other newspapers began to copy
them, and he suddenly found himself
famous.
In spite of his literary success.
Harris continued to be a newspaper
man all the rest of his life, and always
took his honors very modestlY.
