LAST IS FIRST
IN new STYLES
IN MEMS SHOES
Shape of Toe Marks Most
Important Change in
Mode

In mems footwear the most distin-
gushing style change is noted in the
shape of the toe or last. From dag
ger point confinement of years ago
to box car width of recently, the
toes have been given more and more
room to wiggle around in. But now,
without sacrificing the least bit OF
comfort, the lasts are going to follow
the custom lines that create a more
shapely shoe.
Nevertheless the balloon toe has
achieved such a wide acceptance that
it is still going to be mighty popu-
lar. In collegiate circles an eminent
style authority reports the prevalence
of spade toe with sharp extern
sion at the outer ball point.
Lasts may come, and lasts may go,
but the medium. round-toed blucher
will always last forever. It's good
looking, comfortable, serviceable style
that makes friends with young and
old and keeps them.
The Color Question
So much for the lasts. Now we'll
consider the color question. The
splurge that man allowed himself in
"high" yellows is to be controlled
and subdued. For darker colors are
the thing this fall In fact it is esti-
mated that blacks will occupy first
place in color selections.
To the yellows that used to be, a
slight touch of red has been added,
and the tans have been toned down
or up, as you will have it, to a lot
of new shades of brown.
Because colors have been darkened
it seems as if the designers have
seized upon this as an excuse to OBJ
tain distinctiveness by a combination
of colors and feathers! At recent
eastern style show two numbers re-
ceived a lot of attention. One was
a black calf oxford with a grey
leather trimming, and the other was
a natty affair of two-tone browns
The brighter color combines have
been left for the sport shoes.
The pingings and perforations that
ornament the shoe have changed
somewhat also. The custom toe is
beginning to show the old-fashioned
wing tip and on the balloon toe the
trend is away from the heavy ping
ing and perforations of past seasons
toward neater stitching effects.
Naturally with the coming of coider
weather the shoes will be somewhat

Jose Sanchez Guerra, the leader,
still wears a full beard as well as
shock of hair. Dario Bugallal, a for

beard, as does Mariana Ordonez, also
a former minister, while Juan de la
Cierva, former war minister, has
never shaved his beard. although he

WOMAN HAS FAR.
SURP PASSED MAN.
IN FASHIONS
Comfort, E economy and
Simplicity Typify Free
dom and Progress.
BY Margaret Hamilton Roarx

Last night in a dancing palace
figures in all sorts Of frocks danced
rythmically to the beat Of the drum
mer's traps and the saXophones in
decorous blare. Dressed in every
known type of costume from informal
sports to the sleeveless dancing
costume they swayed about as if the
spirit of music had been born anew
in their lithsome figures. All were
clasped tightly in the arms of some
likewise graceful masculine figure,
This is the age of grace. The
grace that has been the admiration
of centuries of wild game hunters,
that of the deer and the tiger.
AS they dance by with a modicum
of effort, minds turn back to a
day when such freedom was un-
dreamed of.
In the gay nineties they danced
past, stiff and awkward. On the
faces of the dancers a set smile
as if they would have the world
know they enjoyed the effort. The
gentlemen in tight fitting coats had
far the best of it. Ladies were
burdened with q hustle and often d
sweeping train which they would
clutch madly in one hand lest it
escape and upset the whole party.
Some one signs for the good old
days. Clouded by the dreamy haze
that memory uses to clothe with her
artists brush all that is unpleasant
those scenes of yesterday may appeal.
Ask the younger generation, who
are the arbiters of the new era,
what they think of the good old
days Yet no one item of that
change that has taken place but
is directly tracable to the paramount
issue of clothes.
The freedom that is today came
with the freedom that is todays
feminine costume. Into the rubbish

BIRDS
ARE INFLUENCE
IN FASHIONS
Goods Are Named After
Various Blacks and
Blues Of Birds

PARIS H- Ravens, crows and
blackbirds are the inspiration OF the
Rue de la Paix and its tributary
streets of fashion Corbeau blue,
which is almost black, ravens-wing,
which is dead black, and magpie,
which means black and white, are
words to counter with in the dress
makers shops.
Smart Paris is buying its winter
clothes and devotees of bright color
and gaiety regard with alarm the
stampede toward black and midnight
blues for street wear.
The coat of black is undoubtedly
the best seller in Paris today. Some
times it brighterls itself with fur of
gray or beige. But oftener it is
soberly trimmed with black fur. There
are many suits also of black or cor
beau blue, which is SO nearly black
that it deceiveS the unwary. For
afternoon the black dress Of satin or
flat crepe is conspicuously success
full. Often it is quite untrimmed.
To offset 1.-The, sombrenesS of the
coats there are afternoon dresses of
rich metallic brocades of very small
design. Blouses of these materials
usually enliven the suit costume. For
the black afternoon dresses there are
Jewels of concentrated color.
The Partisan is apt to choose white
or very pale colors for evening. The
simple evening dress of white satin
is favorite, particularly with women
who have new jewels to display.
Lady Mortimer Davis, whom Paris
counts one of it's best dressed, is
wearing white satin dresses this fall,
as background for rubies, She has
several new ruby pieces, including
earrings and a pendant on a plati-
mum chain.

Back to Simplicity
The return to simplicity that en-
joys Colonial interiors, Spanish and
italian effects is shown too in a room
with strong Norman influence, car
ried out with careful attention to de-
tail. One great beam over the cell
ing, another over the fireplace, a
wooden bench before the fire all
these in their crudity and strength
instantly drew ones attention.

music lovers the calendar begins with

The season of 1o27-1928 marks the

It's importance in musical history will
be emphasized also because the Phil

of the most famous living musicians,
as a regular conductor. Gala pro-

stood that the writer of the article
is not pleading for O. B. U.-ism along

He wants to bring about the same re-

accomplish by the amalgamation of
craft unions into industrial unions
and the linking up of all such unions
into a national organization with a

position to bring the entire power OF

"reminiscences that when he asked
Comrade Lenin whether his visit to
the staff meant lack of faith in the
military workers, he simply but firmly
replied:
at is not lack of confidence, but the
workers and peasants government
wants to know how its military
authorities are acting"
During the report on operations
Comradea Lenin was engrossed in the
map. with the sharpness of a pro-
found and attentive strategist and
military leader" writes Comrade Pod
voisky, "he asked for explanations as
TO why such and such point was not
defended, why certain step was pro-
posed and not some other, why rein
forcements were not summoned from
Kronstadt, vyborg and Helsingfors,
why such and such position had not
been worked out and such and such an
access closed"
In these questions we have COM
plete picture of Comrade Lenin. He
was never content with bare state
ments or general phrases; he always
got down to the very substance of the
matter, entered into details, demanded
proofs, verified the words and deeds
of every responsible worker. When
the operative staff was transferred
from the district headquarters to
Smolny, Comrade Lenin asked that a
table should be placed for him in the
staff office, as he wanted to be in
touch with the military events all the
time.
Altho Comrade Lenin was a pro-
foundly unmilitary man (which he
was constantly emphasizing), we mill
tary workers frequently had occasion
to be astonished at how quickly he
got an orientation in military situa-
ton and how wise and useful were
his advice and instructions on mill
tary matters.
