Bare Feet
for EUening,
Paris EdiCt
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer


PARIS, March GA woman will
have to be very careful to put her
best foot forward at evening func-
tions if the style stunt Of the Mai
son Worth is adopted.
1t IS disturbing dictum for bare
feet, clad only in high-heeled
sandals.
The suggested mode created
something of a sensation at the
formal spring opening, and when it
was over the surprised guests re-
tired to the buffet and over their
champagne tried to talk learnedly
over the new touch Of untethered
toes.
Adds a Kick
The fashion certainly put 9
kick in the collection and male
eyes were surprisingly cast
down as the pretty mannequins
paraded in their hinsy, flowing
evening gowns.
Backs were cut to the waist
some of the skirts we're slashed
to the knees and others were dia-
phanous to a dizzy height, but the
toes had it.
The toenails were painted vivid
red to match the dainty flngertips
of the manneouins and on some OF
the heels there was a suggestion
of rouge, after the fashion Of the
Nautch dancing girls.
Feet Spread Out
At once the study Of the style
became very intriguing. It was
commented upon that there was
more in woman's dainty afternoon
shoe than appeared when the day
time clothes were shown.
The feet Of the same lnannequins
spread out astonishingly when seen
in their normal state.
Toes pointed in various directions
and moved bewitchingly under the
peculiar kind Of gait considered
proper for such circumstances.
1t probably was impolite on the
part Of some of the spectators, but
human nature was too weak to let
pass such an opportunity to study
the toe troublesl Of others.
Patches on Toes
One mannequin apparently was
too proud to go barefoot, or else she
had had an accident. With her
evening sandals she wore light
stockings, fesh-colored, but under
meath could be detected a couple of
patches on the toes.
Another most certainly had had
an accident, such as might befall
any woman who steps out. Her left
big-toe nail was black and she didn't
seem to like her job too well that
night.
She explained that she had hit
her toe against something and the
nail had become discolored. And
the toes of several of the other girls
showed the unnlistaken toll taken
on tender skin by tight shoes.
The new fashion was received
with considerable reserve. Obviously
it was not easy to get accustomed
to the sight Of bare feet in the
natural beauty of the formal set
ting and associated with gowns of
rich texture and coloring.
1t was agreed that the Brothers
Worth, grandsons of the great old
pioneer in the art Of Haute Couture,
had dared greatly.
Women were heard to ask each
other in whispers if their feet were
fit to "face" such mode.
One thing is certain: If women
of fashion consent to toe the line
as laid down by this house of high
reputation, it will mean prosperity
for pedicures.

GRAIN VALUES JUMP
ON QUICK PURCHASES
Sudden Rise in Market Accom-.
panies Improvement in Stocks.
Close Buoyant.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,
Associated Press Market Editor.

CHICAGO. June 20.-Buoyancy de-
veloped in the grain markets today
simultaneously with a steep advance of
securities. Wheat purchasing appeared
to come from more substantial sources
than for some time, and belief spread
that an organized movement was afoot
to enhance commodities and stocks.
Prospective improvement of Germany S
financial position received much notice.
and there was talk that Canadian crop
damage now amounted to almost calam-
ity proportions.
Wheat closed strong at about the
days top level, 34a2A cents higher,
corn 1lAa31s up, oats 1aa7s advanced,
and provisions unchanged to rise of
Is cents.
Active general buying commenced in
wheat shortly after trade opened and
grew steadily broader with but few
transient lulls. Renewal of severe crop
damage reports from Canada attracted
most attention, but soon the soaring of
securities, especially United States Steel,
eclipsed at times the Canadian advices.
Meanwhile, messages received from Chi
cago crop experts included one filed at
Moosejaw, Saskatchewan, saying that
between Craven and Moosejaw few
patches in even the best fields of wheat
could yield five bushels an acre. Dis
patches by another American observer
at Indian Head, Saskatchewan. reported
wheat that two weeks ago showed life
was dead now, and that the crop left
was so poor and thin it could no longer
be much benefited by rain.
There was apparently much less fear
than of late regarding bearish effects
of the domestic Winter wheat harvest
movement. Many traders took the stand
that with Canadian drought news so
radical. the influence of huge Winter
wheat receipts would be largely offset.
and in particular as a considerable part
of the United States Spring wheat crop
was also in bad shape. A late report
from one of the foremost unofficial
American crop authorities now in Cana
da estimated the 1881 Saskatchewan
yield of wheat at 120,000,000 bushels.
compared with 5000, 900 in 1880. He
added that the Saskatchewan crop
would deteriorate still worse if the
weather turned hot before it rained.

Contending it was a calamity to de-
monetize silver, bimetallists now adyo-
cate return to the co-partnership of
silver and gold at a given ratio. The
dumping of an oversupply on the mar
ket with the resultant fall in price as

investments probably total more than

deterrent Of trade than the deprecia-
ton of silver.
John Hays Hammond, widely known
mining engineer, has suggested that
the establishment of silver as sec
ondary monetary metal might do much
to revive trade.
Suppose the nations by agreement
should set price of so cents an ounce
on silver" he said. Instead of the
old 16-to-1 ratio, this would be about
"a to l. Silver would flow into the
treasures of the nations. They would
issue paper money for purchase just
as they accumulate gold at no cost
at all.
Average Price.
Putting a price of go cents an ounce
on silver would not unduly increase its
output. The average price of silver
through the ages has been more than
60 cents and did not call forth large
production.
"The metal which accumulated In
the nations vaults would have an in
trinsic world value and would there
fore lend stability to the currency
guarantees of nations. The boards Of
the East would come into the market
place with old-time strength and a

Not since the late William Jennings
Bryan made his famous cross of gold'
speech and campaigned for the presi-
dency on the S16-to-1" issue has the
silver question been so much in the
limelight.
In Bryans heyday it was largely a
domestic question. Today it is an inter
national problem tied closely to world
business depression.
Leaders of the movement in this
country for a conference of govern
mentS, seeking sterilization of the value
of silver, include Senators Pittman of
Nevada and King of Utah.
Deeply interested also in finding a
way to increase the price of the white
metal are other political leaders and
business men of the producing
States and of the Pacific Coast. where
trade with the silver minded Orient has
been hard hit.
Conference Urged.
Senator Smoot of Utah advocates a
conference of delegates of the Inter-
national Chamber of Commerce. or of
other experts, instead of official dele
gates from the interested nations. Ad-
vices here are that the Executive Com
mites of the International Chamber
may call a conference at its meeting
in Paris early in July.
For centuries silver and gold CO.
functioned as monetary standards.
They circulated in the ratio of their
production, approximately ii ounces OF
silver being equivalent to l ounce of
gold. Debasement of the white metal
may be said to have begun in 1916
when Great Britain adopted the gold
standard.
The United States and Germany went
to the gold standard in 1873, other
countries following suit. Most countries
continued to use silver coinage, but in
the last 10 years various governments
