GLASS SLIPPERS ARE
LATEST FOOT MAGIC
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

Glass slippers for the modern
Cinderella are the latest word in
foot-magic from Paris. To show that
they are a 1887 vogue and won't
actually disappear at midnight,
they are trimmed in gold kid and
show bright nail lacquer cleaning
through.
Another version of the Cinderella
slipper is created of woven strands
of crystal. This, too, is semi-trans-
parent. Other more practical types
Of footwear for spring indicate the
growing Importance of the pedicure
as a fashion requisite. Tipped-toe
shoes with just the tip cut out at
'front.', sports and evening slippers
made of twisted bands of printed
linen-al reveal lace-tipped stock
ings and brightly lacquered toes.
Rust and ruby-red and burgundy
are especially popular, usually worn
a tone deeper than the fingernails.
Roman sandals and fiat-heeled
gold evening slippers with tiny
strappings will be particularly popu-
lar with the ''tall and willowy."
Printed slippers made from tn e
same material as the evening gown
and colored kid sandals are also
high in favor.

Some Men of Years Ago
Had Wonderful Memories

Some men who lived long ago
possessed extraordinary memories,
observes writer in Pearson's Lon
don Weekly.
Maglabechi, of Florence, was
called "The Universal Index and
Living Cyclopaedia" and died in
TIA at the age of eighty-three.
From all accounts he could recite
from memory everything he had
ever read or heard.
Then there was P. j. Beronicious,
who knew by heart Horace, Virgil,
Cicero, Juvenal, both the Plinys,
Homer and Aristophane- He died
at Middleburgh in 1916 so was alive
in Magliabechi's time.
A man named Andrew Fuller was
said to have been able to repeat
500 lines without a mistake after
hearing them read twice. It was
not even necessary for him to read
them to himself as is the case with
so many memory-men.
Fuller could also tell, either back
wards or forwards, every shop sign
from the Temple to the extreme

Aesop's Fables

Aesop is little more than q
shadow of name. He was slave
from Samos, who probably lived in
the Sixth century before Christ. His
fables were of political nature in
the time of the Greek tyrants, when
unveiled speech was dangerous.
Two hundred and fifty years later
Demetrius of Pha1eron collected
large number of fables and called
them by Aesop's name. These were
turned into Latin by Phaedrus, but
it cannot be said definitely that any
of them originated with Aesop.

THE coronation of the king and
= queen of Great Britain is reflect
ing no little influence throughout the
world of fashion. Which perhaps ac-
counts for the Tremendous vogue
for handsome suits tailored of hand
some woolens which is sweeping
throughout fashions domain. Since
London is proving magnet for de-
signers and merchants who wish to
keep in touch with what's going on
in a fashion way where such STIR
ring epoch-making events are tax
ing place, their first reaction would
naturally be in favor of stunning
wooden tailored apparel since Eng
lish women set pace for the world
in this direction.
At any rate this is proving an
outstanding season for the tailored
suit and all that goes with it in
the way of chic accessories. The
new woolens are as an intriguing lot
as ever launched forth on fashion
career. While most any length jack
ct is accepted this year as good
style, yet when it comes to top
notch swank the fashion-wise are
centering their interest about the
jaunty short-jacket types.
The suit to the left in the picture
combines hubby wool sheer tweed
with even nubbier knit and you know
that the nubbier the smarter is the
word this season for woolens. The
short fitted jacket in brown and
beige tweed has three haf-moon
pockets lined with the brown knit of
the skirt. There's a brown knit ascot,
a belt and buttons that are amusing
in their oddity. By the way, you
can add to the lure of costume
like this by wearing blouse that
fastens with fruit or vegetable but
tons. Seeing is believing in regard
to these whimsical buttons, some of
which are miniature Strawberries
or perhaps wee apples or peaches.
If you prefer oblong buttons ask
for the lilliputian bananas they are
displaying this season or the teeny-
weeny ears of corn, each and all

Ventilated Headwear Is
Latest Edict From Paris

Ventilated headwear is a top
note in the new collection Agnes
shows. Pie-shaped wedges ar e
cut out of black brims that lie low
and hug the hair. Half-hats that
reach back only to the ears are
finished the rest of the way with
flowing black wells.
A wide-brimmed black Panama,
cut in two lengthwise, joins to-
gether again with half a dozen
bows of black velvet baby ribbon.
All its edges are also velvet-bound.
Agnes, too, makes much use of
ribbon. Birdlike bows perch on
the crowns of her sailor hats and
stand aloft on the "cut-away" fronts
of her off-the-face models.

world takes on fashion note. Look

SOIL DEADLINE
FOR 1897 JUNE II
Work Sheets of Conservation
Program Must Be In By
That Date
RUSH YOUR APPLICATION

According to a statement which
has been issued by w. G. Finn, act
ing director for the East Central
Division of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, the date
of June II has been designated as
the deadline for receiving applica-
tions in the 1887 soil conservation
program. This announcement was
received few days ago by R. o.
Stelzer, extension economist of the
University of Delaware, who is
also state project leader, and this
information is being relayed to
county agents and members of the
county and district committees
who have charge of the sign up
work relative to this agricultural
program. This ruling, however,
does not apply to work sheets sub
mitted after June IL, covering
farms owned or operated by those
persons who, by that date, have
filed applications covering other
farms which such persons own or
operate. This closing date has
been set in order that the informa-
ton prepared from work sheets by
the county committee may be
mailed to those farmers who desire
to participate in the 1887 program
in time to be of value in planning
farming operations this year. The
county committee will also have
the task again this year of making
arrangements for checking the
practices on these
farms sometime during the latter
part of June, and all work sheets
must be on file in the county ex-
tension Offices before this phase of
the 1887 soil conservation program
can be considered. Farmers who
have not filed applications by June
IL, therefore, will not be eligible to
receive benefit payments unless
they signed up in the 1886 pro-
gram, as those who filed work
sheets for last years program do
not have to sign up again this year
in order to be eligible for these
