Footwear

Of Fashion
Skirts ~Lengthen
Shoes and Stockings
Are AS Important and
Prominent As Ever
Before.

DRESENT fashions keep
H. shoes and stockings in a
prominent place. There was
4 time, of course. when no.
body knew what kind OK
stockings one wore. For day
time occasions shoes were
high, and for all occasions
dresses practically touched
the floor. So there wasn't
much but imagination to de-
termine what stockings were
like. And shoes. too, were
hidden most of the time.
So what was one run more or
less In those days. unless you
were fastidious minded enough 20
object 10 il on principle?
And. as for that. what did IL
matter IL shoes were shabby? No
body knew but the woman wear
ing them.
It's different now-and how diff
ferentl
Skirts are longer. They seem
strangely. overwhelmingly long
compared with those we wore "a
couple OF seasons ago. But long
as we think them, they are really
short. and they show shoes in
whole AMI stockings in part. Runs
and those horrid worn-thrOuEh
holes In the stockings M the back
81 the top OF the prevailing low
shoe are a constant source OF wor-
~ and aggravation TO us. We
must keep our mind on our
stockings. an well a. on our shoes
If we want to look our best.
Modern life demands comfort.
We are used to wearing clothes
that do not construct and bind. We
are also used to wearing attrac-
tive clothes. We want pretty
shoes.
Even the "common-sense" shoes
az today IRE pretty. They are cut
on nice lines and they are light
weight and becoming. We just
won't = great dumping and
ugly shoes.
And because we demand com
fort and beauty. we yea larger
shoes than we used to. We can
be quite comfortable in the most
pointed-though shoes nowadays
aren't very greatly pointed 49, and
highest heeled shoes imaginable.
but to do so we must wear our
shoes a size or two larger than
or grandmothers wore theirs.
This double demand on the part
OF modern women - for pretty
shoes that are CONFERENCE.-The
done much TO make women keep
their feet in bette condition.
Corns a-d calouses not only hurt.
and thereby interfere with our
feeling az perfect comfort. They
also show" The modern thin
shoe has no place in its sporting
lines for bunions or cOrns or any
other lumpy prOtuberances. We
must keep our feet i'm condition

better to say, the large-minded
woman does not always choose
the man OF achievement. and SO a
little woman who would get along
well enough in the narrow, cir
cumscribed circles to which she
had been accustomed. loses her
head and is dazzled entirely when
she finds herself in the light upper
air OF a more pretentious society.
And Of course she makes herself
ridiculous. for a snob always was
and always is ridiculous.

The panther glide may now
be ranked with the SHOWS OF
yesteryear.
For it's chests up and hold
your shoulders down and
back, and there's no longer
any fashionable excuse for
hiding. the fact that your
figure is composed of a series
of graceful curves.
To be sure there are sti1l wom-
en- who affect the beanpole or
sturdy oak silhouette. but it's no
longer the fashion and you simply
can't YEA the newest OF the new
frocks unless you carry yourself
with poise and erectness.
or course this shifting toward
n more erect carriage was bound
to come sometime but its return
was fastened by the return Of
nineteenth century fashions. And
whatever faults you may find with
the ladies of the late Victorian
era, you'll have to admit that they
did 20 about with a more soldier
ly-or perhaps we should say
queenly - bearing than their
daughters and granddaughters of
the early twentieth century.
Wide should S are one OF the
new fashions that we hear much
about, and they work both ways.
They make as look more erect
and they demand , more erect
posture. More slender waistlines
r demanded by fashion now. Il
IL you allow yourself to SLOUGH
about and IL you sit all in a heap
on a chair or divan you simply
cannot make the most of the nat
urai slenderness of waist which
nature has given You.
And now comes the upward-at-
the-back movement. very remi.
niscent OF the fashions of the
1905. Skirts are made with apron
drapery that leaves a fiat arrange
ment of material at the front. with
ruffies or drapes at the side and
back Peplums and panels are
all constructed with this up-at-the-
back effect at least suggested and
now there is a tendency toward
a hustle which is of course only
a suggestion but which makes il
necessary to hold the hips back.

PREPARATIONS
SITUATION IS
SAID SERIOUS
Two Possible Solutions
Of Deadlock Are
Discussed

WASHINGTON. July / P,-De-
spite the so far irreconciled differ
enceS between France and the Unit
ed States over the moratorium ad-
m~inistration officials TO-DAY were
1oath TO discuss other possible means
OF improving Germany's economic
condition.
President Hoover was said on good
authority 70 have made no PROPOSAL
20 push his moratorium plan with
out the agreement OF France. But
from other sources there appeared
q reluctant discussion Of two posi-
bic courses.
One would involve a new
ment for financial assistance to Ger
many The second would be for
ctner powers 10 proceed with the
moratorium, France continuing 70
collect her unconditional repara-
tons from Germany. paving fun
war debts TO her creditors.
Germany could. under the Young
plan. suspend conditional payments.
II the other interested powers agreed
10 a years postponement OF uncon
oltional annuities. Germany could
continue to pay those to France. de-
creasing her outlay to other coun-
tries.
Under the latter plan, which Off
Gals were inclined to leave for the
future TO determine, France would
collect but little more IN separations
than she would be required to paw
on her own debts.
The situation was described as
serious even though hope for an
agreement had not been abandoned
AS long as the discussions in Paris
continue between Premier Laval and
Secretary Mellon and Ambassador
Edge, Washington does not intend
to be discouraged.
At the same time. the French SEN
ate's vote yesterday TO permit Pre-
mier Laval to carry on his negosla-
lions was viewed here from two
positions. One was that facts indicat-
ed a deadlock had not been reached.
The second was that Premier Laval.
70 follow out his instructions to the
letter, must decline 10 accept any
change In his governments a.. v dy
expressed policy.
The principal differences were
over the period for payment OF sus-
pended unconditional Preparations.
France wants the suspended obl.ga-
tons to be repaid in five years; the
United States. while possibly inclin-
ed to compromise. contends they
should be extended over IS years.
Likewise, France insists the re-
sulting credit from Germany's pay
ment Of unconditional annuities into
the bank for international settle
ment should be available for the as
sistance Of other smaller European
powers while the United States
holds Germany needs the aid more
than any other.
The Administrations pleasure at
Italy's action Of putting President
Hoover's plan into effect for her
debtors was expressed by one Off
cial IN the words: IA magnificent
gesture" Acting Secretary Castle
also acknowledged with deep appre-
citation Belgium's acceptance Of the
principle.

At the anne time. however. the
