Fashionable Feet Tread Paths to Beauty

cross country walking. II the walk
happens to be along city pavements the
shoes still must be Of the cross-country
type, and that does not mean golf shoes
with low, fiat heels. These, as you
know, are primarily to protect the turf
and the green's, and we don't have to
think about that when taking an
ordinary everyday walk.
II y
EOR this purpose the heel should not
be too low, but large enough and
straight enough to give the proper bal
anced support to the foot, and with
toes wide enough TO permit the foot to
get the necessary exercise. Most Of Us
are not accustomed TO the shoe with
the very low heel and find 1t tiring for
long walks.
When walking for health and beauty,
pattern yourself after the American
Indian, who strides with toes pointed
straight ahead, not turned to the side.
It takes q bit of practice to accomplish
this. Another tip on beauty and health
Is to tread as If you were walking on
air, keeping time to imaginary music,
as it we're, thus putting rhythm into
your step and grace into your carriage.
We must remember that good cir
culation means good health, and good
health has a beauty that you cannot
buy, and that walking Is one OF the
most effective as well as the easiest
ways to acquire good circulation.

7 T has been discovered that great
many of our aches and pains come
from faulty feet and ill-fitting
i shoes Doctors are not blaming
everything ON teeth these days, be-
cause they have found another cul-
prit--the foot.
Eeauticians, too, In their efforts to
improve our health and good looks, are
making q concentrated drive toward
better feet-feet which have so much
to DO with beauty Of face and feature
and grace of carriage.
We are too likely to scurry about in
q hectic way with no organized plan,
trying this and that In an effort to pre-
vent wrinkles and improve our COM
plexions, whereas we would do well to
recognize the fact that the feet are
the foundation Of good looks, and we
all know the hopelessness of the en-
deavor to raise any structure to high
altitude unless the base Is good.
Styles in shoes this Spring have gone
far In promoting foot health and COM
fort. They are wider of toe and less
tapering Many of them are unlined,
making them more pliable. Lacy mesh

the foot weary.

DARIS Is full of tricks, so far as FASH
ion goes. That's always true Of
Paris, Of course. But this year. wheE
clothes really seem more attractive than
they have been for ages. Paris rises to
new heights of fashion charm.
There Is a lot of white for daytime
wear in Paris. Notably, cotton tweed
for suits and separate skirts, and heavy
linen crash for jacket suits and coats.
There Is q revived interest In taffeta
silk for evening and afternoon dress
Soft, supple taffeta, with no stiffness
but with much crispness. Just the thing
for Summer. Taffeta, you remember, Is
a marvellous fabric for shedding dust,
and that's one more OF its many charms
for warm weather.
Shorter skirts for evening and slightly
longer skirts for daytime suggest that
the extremes will eventually meet. and
a standardized length for all hours will
crystallize somewhere above the ankles.
There are new knee-length evening
wraps, in contrast to the very short
wraps that women have be<n wearing
for Summer evenings. TSeSe, of course,
are nodded to fit ger the new Sum
mer evening dresses with beauty and
grace.
Theres are unbelted three-quarter-
length sport coats. They are in marked
contrast to the usually fitted and belted
full-length coats, gaining added inter-
est from the fact that they are often

although not quite so sporting, is to
stand on q substantial book, such as a
telephone directory, and bend your toes
back and forth over the edge. And one
of the best foot strengtheners is to rise
up and down on the toes. When this
is combined with deep knee bending, 1t
becomes a general health exercise as
well.
Beauty baths are important for the
feet Bran bags and bags containing
oatmeal and shavings Of CASTLE soap are
very good for this purpose. Either of
these may be made at home. A little
bicarbonate Of soda, or some EPSON
salts In the bath water also Is excellent.
VOU cannot follow fashion slavishly
in choosing your shoes. There Is
the matter Of suitability to be consid-
cred, and fashion has done considerable
along this line of late. Motor cars,
bridge tables, dinner tables and theater
seats are the proper Accomplishments to
decorative footwear, with high, graceful
heels. This Is a good thing to remem-
Der In choosing shoes, because the idea
is founded on common sense and good
taste But when walking for health
and beauty. every shoe Of this type
should remain at home.
Women who are going in seriously for
retaining health and cultivating good
looks should walk at least miles every

MY MARY MARSHALL.

NAVY blue continues to be in high
regard, but for the woman who
wants to strike of a little from the
beaten path there are unusually inter-
esting ways of using brown in the
Spring and Summer wardrobe Brown
and grege, for instance. make a color
combination stamped with the approval
Of Paris. So remember that grege,
which might be described as gray with
q beige cast or beige with a gray cast,
may be the tone you need to give smart
ness to your brown dress or suit. In
the meantime the usual brown and
beige, the less usual brown and gray,
brown and yellow and brown and or

Very smart tri-color combinations

way with colors which at first sight
might not be considered harmonious.
Yet there Is excellent authority for add

ming gown.
For afternoon, wine prints are looked
upon with special favor. They usually
consist of wine background with small
white figures, though the background
may be white with figures Of wine color
Sheer navy blue is still well liked and
very serviceable for evening. Large
white polka dots on sheer navy blue
background or navy blue dots on a
white background are approved for eve

all-blue or dotted blue and white eve

fashion circles that they will be worn
without stockings when the weather be-
comes warm. No doubt this rumor ac-
counts for the increasing vogue Of deco
rating toenails to match fingernails.
To be really fashionable they must
form an ensemble, and 1t Is said that
the vogue will reach its peak when all
the gay beach sandals, Of which we
have been permitted pre-view, are
tripping along the sands Of Summer
seas.
Toetips are painted in amazing hues
and set of with a line of some con-
trasting color. The pedicure has be-

messages and exercises for suppling the
feet are given. And when the treat
ment Is finished the feet are beautified
until you will hardly recognize those
truly locomotives that have conveyed
you here and there ever since you were
year or 80 old.
CPEAKING of exercises, there are a
~ few simple ones to do at home which
are most beneficial in making your
feet and ankles really ornamental. One
of the best Is to pick up with the toes
small objects, such as marbles, dice,
chessmen or any of those gamey gad-
gets you may happen to have lying
about. The trick is to see how rapidly
you can pick them up and put them
down again. Another good exercise,

Beauty Sleep Comes
When You Can Get 1t

REAUTY sleep Is important. But really
- it doesn't much matter when you
get 1t. Some people say that every
hour Of sleep before midnight is worth
two after midnight. But that isn't So
The idea behind this statement Is that
sleep after midnight sometimes indi-
Gates that you have been up late-and
that you aren't going to get enough
sleep
Sleep, whenever 1t Is snatched, is
decidedly helpful to beauty, up to a
certain point. Too much sleep makes
one look rather unlovely. But q catnap
picked up while you are committing, or
while the children are playing outdoors,
or while you are waiting for dinner. Is
real beauty sleep.
OF course, good nights sleep every

Stocking Colors.

THERE are dozen different ways to
decide about the color Of stockings.
The tones selected are somewhat darker
than they would have been a year ago
because stockings are so extremely
sheer that the tone effect when worn
is always considerably lighter than the
actual tone of the stocking. Most wom-
en- choose rather inconspicuous shades,
but this does not mean that q single
neutral tone of beige will do for all oc-
casions. Sheer brown or tete de negre
are chosen more often than g,lnmetal
to wear with black shoes. Dark beige
Is smart with the various dark blues,
beige with a mauve cast looks best with
brown, while beige or flesh with a rosy
cast is best reserved for white or pastel
tones.

EXPRESS DOUBT
ITALIAN NAVAL
FORCE WEAKENED
Diplomatic Circles Com
ment On Possibility Of
Accord With France.
BY JOSEPH II. BAIRD
nited Press Staff Correspondent

OnIteu freSS StaII Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Re-
tirement CT a large part of the
Italian navy was viewed in inform
ed diplomatic circles here today as
likely stimulant to the long sought
Italian naval accord.
Experts were of the opinion
however, that Italy had made nc
great sacrifice. 1t seemed to them
that the laying up of 100000 tons
of Italian vessels was dictated
plainly by advantages of naval
strategy and economy.
One observer believed the move
indicated Rome and Paris were
once more working together. France
recently abandoned its naval build
ing program in order to effect a cut
in its budget. Now, with the re-
tirement of the Italian vessels, ex-
perts here say, the Italian
naval ratio will be stabilized.
France and Italy refused to sign
the London naval treaty which
limited cruisers, destroyers and
submarines of the other naval pow
ers. Ever since 1880 they have
been trying to reach an agreement
being threatened, meantime by a
building race.
Although this temporary cut in
1taly's strength may create good
impression in France, observers
here do not believe it was dictated
primarily by that purpose. In their
view, Italy was actuated by two
motives
l. Economy: Italy has under
construction about 100000 tons of
cruisers, destroyers and submarines
Approximately 1000 men will be
needed to man these new ships. BY
laying up 10000 tons of old ships,
Italy sets tree about this number
of men and makes new recruiting
unnecessary.
2. Naval strategy: Recent Ital-
ian maneuvers are said to have
shown that fast Italian cruisers,
destroyers and submarines can sue
cessfully attack conveys crossing
the Mediterranean, even when they
are protected by battleships. Hence
it appears the Italian navy has
stopped worrying about building up
to battleshlp parity with France.
Further, observers here doubt
that Italy has fundamentally weak
ened its fleet. Reports say that
two battleships, three large cruisers,
II small cruisers, 25 destroyers and
IL submarines are to be laid up late
this month. But that does not
mean they are to be scrapped. In
an emergency they could be quickly
placed in service.

Lamb, member of a wealthy and
distinguished Florida family, ac-
cording to court records here today.
When Justin D. Hall died at the

at $500 in real estate and jewelry
A friend was asked by the court to
go to Halls sand dune shack and
try to find some means of COM
plete identification.
The friend discovered a family
group picture taken against the
background of a family mansion in

CURTIS SPEECH
CAUSES PUZZLE
AMONG LEADERS
Exact Stand OF Candi-
date On Prohibition
Difficult To Describe.
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff COrresponden

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Vice-
President Curtis, remaining true to
Kansas prohibition tradition, has
wrung some Of the dampness out
of the Republican national ticket.
In his acceptance speech at To-
peka, he renewed his pledge of
loyalty to the eighteenth amend
ment and opposed its repeal. At
the same time he subscribed 20 the
Republican platform declaration
recognizing the right of the voters
to pass judgment on the issue.
This differs from President
Hoover's personal platform as an
nounced in his acceptance speech
here last week. The President,
while condemning unqualified re-
peal, said he had reluctantly come
to the conclusion that a change
was necessary. He favored return
ing the problem to the state but
with federal constitutional restric-
tions to protect dry states and to
prevent return of the saloon.
After declaring his belief in ma
JOrlCy rule, GURUS SAID:
Personally I am not only in
favor of honestly and fearlessly
enforcing all our laws, but further
am opposed to the return of the
saloon and I am opposed to the
repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment."
Curtis did not specifically say he
would oppose any change in the
amendment. Interpretation of a
political candidates remarks is un-
certain business, especially on an
issue which has aroused the violent
feelings that prohibition has. How
ever, the inference drawn by some
here today was that If Curtis had
agreed with Mr.. Hoover's belief
that change in the eighteenth
amendment was necessary, he would
have said so.
This would appear to leave
Curtis as the dryest of the four
horsemen who are riding in the
presidential sweepstakes this year.
Both Democratic candidates, Gov
ernor Roosevelt and Speaker Gar
ner, are for unqualified repeal
They favor legislative, not consti-
tutional, provisions against the
saloon and for protection of dry
states
Whereas the Republican party is
for submission of the issue, the
Democratic platform recommends
unqualified repeal, plus recon-
mendation that pending repeal
congress vote in beer.
The acceptance speech of Curtis
completes the lining up of the big
four on the surcharged issue of
whether the country should end
the experiment on which it en-
barked more than a decade ago
thinking that it had laid John
Barleycorn in his grave forever.
