or, and Material.,
NK'.V YORK, April 4. For the next two
ltonths It will be a toss up In point of ex.
ravanuncu botween headwear and foot.
A-ar. To pay 118 for one pair of walking
Idioes is r.r.ly moderately extravagant, and
l lie number of pairs of shoes and Ilea neces-
-ary to a fashionable wardrobe Is far
t ihead of tlio number of hats, which Is say
n much.
The fashion of matching tha shoe to the
;own and the fact that there are now no
lid of models of shoe, differing In style
iml color from which to choose are respon
lihln lor this. At one time a woman's
arret Khoe, like a man's dress suit, was
leie'-ailly bhick and there was no very
mi i temptation to lay In a big stock of
ir.t a.
V i si ca!i; colored spats. These took
.' i- whlU1, b-.it got to be so common that
wsiiloh discarded them. Evidently they
-.u 1 festered a love for ornato street foot-
patent leather unders and pure white up
pers and In the same season pencil gray up
pers In conjunction with black vamps and
sides were seen often In the street.
T,hat was more than two years ago and
the fashion has grown rapidly since.
None likes the fashion better than the
custom shoemakers.
.'For every pair of women's shoes ordered
two or three years ago three pairs are
now ordered," said one, and he explained
that this applied to the women of other
cities as well as to New Yorkers, the for
mer placing most of their orders In New
York.
Orders from Everywhere.
Acoordlng to this shoemaker, there are
plenty of good shoemakers scattered over
the United States, but a belief that for the
latest styles one must go to New York
sends a lot of business here. The other
day a New York shoemaker showed a pair
of shoes Just finished for a well known
Chicago woman.
"I make all her shoes," he remarked.
"A small foot for Chicago," It wa ven
tured. "Perhaps. It's a No. 5, though, but the
placing of the heel makes It look smaller.
But then," he added, "every New York
custom shoemaker Is expected to make the
foot look smaller, except In the case of old
women, arid to be careful not to mark the
shoe with any number at all.
"Once upon a time a custom order shoe
meant common sense lines and comfort
more than style. Now it means style first,
then the shoe must look small and it must
represent the acme of oomfort. Our Job
.k from Kiirope shoes with vamps
ui ' oppi ra of contrasting colors and ma
te tl vurl.iti.sly 1 trimmed. The conserva
Mv In die's almost lost their breath
ftlci two particularly stylish yung ma
ll' ' i first appeared wearing short black
v.uli.inj (OHtumes and shoes made with
-r and snoti smart women began to j Is far from being an easy one and that Is
I : -r l'"k from Kiimpe shoes with vamps I one reason why the cost of custom-made
shoes Is a good bit higher now than for
merly."
The shoe for the Chicago woman was of
fine black kid, with uppers of pearl-colored
suede, finished with white mother of pearl
buttons. Tho vamp had no tip, the heels
were of a medium high French model and
the cost waa $18.
"Of late," the dealer went on, "fashion
able women have shown a decided prefer
ence for ties over high shoes. Even In the
coldest weather openwork stockings and
low-cut shoes have been popular with New
York women.
"Now that spring Is here the high shoe
Is having a vogue. Weather nan nothing
to do with It; fashion has everythipg to
say. The New York woman Is willing to
wear sandals In midwinter and top boots
In midsummer It fashion orders It.
"For the time being high shoes with
fancy tops are In fashion. Cutting out the
very hottest season, they, will be worn
more than ties. Some of the newest models
are In fact cut higher than the ordinary
shoe, the tops being made of a thin water
proof cravenette or thin leather.
Cloth and suede tops are warmer than
leather tops; therefore one of the most
stylish of the spring shoes ts made of
patent leather or kid or brown calf or
russet, topped with thinnest glove kid In
a contrasting color."
Samples Are Matched.
The dealer showed these leathers In the
whole skin. They Included many shades
of blue, green, brown and red; there were
ecru, yellow, dark and light, orange, pink
nd champagne. Falling the dvslied oolor,
a skin ts dyed to match a sample.
If uppers are wanted to match a street
gown all the wearer need do Is to produce
the material. Thus a pair of patent leather
shoes had tops of a light gray striped ma.
terlal, the strip s about half an Inch wide
and arranged to meet In a V over tha In
step. The effect was very pretty.
The same style shoe In russet brown war
topped with a quarter-Inch gray two-toned
tripe and a similar model In dull brown
leather had uppers of very dark gray quar
ter-inch stripe cravenette. Other models
I Included patent leathers finished with Yale

blue kid leather tops, dark browns topped
with white cloth speckled with brown and
russets with upper of champagne.
The combinations of black and white,
black and cream and black and champagne
In the newer models are startling but styl
ish, as a young woman who had Just pur
chased a pair of shoes made entirely of
white kid except the vamp, which was of
patent leather, remarked. It took her some
time to choose between this style and one
which had a black vamp, and heels and all
the rest of the shoe white, and another
which had white uppers and white heels
with black vamp and sides.
Another striking model was entirely of
white leather finished with black heels and
trimmed at the sides and across the vamp
with an elgth of an Inch wide black band
of patent leather. Side by side In one es
tablishment were a pair of mauve shoes
touched up with white buttons and a pair
which combined a vamp of pale blue kid
with white uppers, heels and sides. This
same design combined also a brown vamp
with white heels, sides and uppers and
brown vamp and champagne-colored sides
and top.
If anything, the varieties of low cut shoes
are more ornate than the high cut. For
example, there is one model made of fancy
leather that Is, leather veined with colors
to form a leaf design. This Is seen at Its
best In brown veined with ecru and red.
In one case a tie of this leather cut with
short vamp and a medium Cuban heel
was finished around the edge with a half
Inch wide band of gold galloon.
On Novel Design.
A particularly novel design of tie runs
up well on the front of the foot, something
after the fashion of a Juliette bed room
slipper, and is finished with a high French
heel and a short pearl-buttoned opening a
little to one side of the front line. In one
example the champagne-colored suede was
embroidored In a double row of oblong eye
lets across the front of the foot.
A tie with the vamp of one color and the
remainder of quite another color aeems to
be one of the most popular models both
In ties and pumps, and for ordinary wear
the brown or ecru vamp leads all the rest
Compared with brown the black vamp la
nowhere. Shown at one of the best custom
shops are brown ties and pumps finished
between the sole and the upper with nar
row white beading.
In one medium high tie of russet leather
there are white eyelets and laces. Gray
and white mixed pearl buttons, by the way.
have taken the place almost entirely of
black buttons In all the fancy shoes.
In evening slippers the most noticeable
novelty Is In the trimming of the vamp,
which consists preferably of a small oblong
buckle of gold with Jewels, real or Imita
tion, sunk Into the surface, or of a compar
atively small stiff flat against the slipper.
For the rest, contrasting materials and
colors, heels different In color from the
vamp, kid and fancy brocade combined
and suede In delicate tints trimmed with
gold leather, are all Included among an
array of ornate footwear, such as has
never before been seen In New York.
MAKING BRIC1 UNDER WATER
One Problem that Confronted Hudson
Tunnel Builders.
EXPEDIENTS THAT SAVED WORK
Hardening; with Blowpipe Flames
Clay Dvniped to Stop Leak Can
vas Cover Sank from Surface
Met Another Emergency.
NEW YORK, April 4. "One or two of
the most Interesting Incidents In connection
with the building of the two Hudson tun
nels Just opened fo traffic have escaped
newspaper notice up to this time for the
reason, I suppose, that the men who put
through great engineering works are not
given to boasting," said an official of the
Hudson 4k Manhattan railroad, which oper
ates the tunnels.
"One of these waa the occasion which re
sulted In making brick for the first time on
the bed of a river, and the other was the
occurrence under the Lackawanna coal
docks in Ho bo ken.
"The north tube, as Is well known. Is an
extension of the old tunnel started years
ago. which came to a halt 100 feet away
from a reef of rock standing from one to
sixteen feet above the Intended grade of
the tunnel. When our tunnellera took up
the work they found that before the shield
arrived at this point they would have to
build a temporary workshop In the river
ahead of It so as to build on the shield a
steel apron under which the men could
work while blasting and drilling the rock
out of the way of the shield. The bed of
the river above the rock was soft sand and
above that was about sixty-five feet of
water.
Hlowont Surely Came.
"Blasting the rock with so slight a cover
and with such a heavy water pressure
above. It was feared, might result In the
heading being blown out. For that reason
barge loads of clay were kept constantly
near that point to be dumped 1n. The ua-
Platform of tho Hoboes.
The "hoboes" recently held their national
convention In St. Louis and. like real dele
gates, passed many resolutions. . They
adopted one urging the suspension of the
vagrancy laws. They demand that tha gov
ernment shall grant pensions te all super
annuated tramps. A measure waa approved
which calls upon the government to lasus
Hao.uu0.0u) worth of bonds, the money to be
used In furnishing employment to those
who are so misguided as to be willing to
work on river improvements. Another res
olution, which probably was Intended to
lend moral tone to the profession, recom
mends that the hoboes attend church on
Sundays. There Is one commendable thing
about the American tramp, tie knows
what he wants and Is not bashful about
asking (ur it- St. faul flonaer-Press.

pected blowout occurred after a few weeks
and the 900 feet already tunnelled between
the lock and the heading waa flooded. The
men all got out safely, and by getting the
barge loads of clay Into action quickly the
hole was filled. The water was pumped
out and within eleven hours tlte men were
able to return to the heading on a raft.
No great damage was done and work was
resumed after only twenty-one hours had
bean lost.
"Two other similar blowouts occurred
while the tunnel was being pushed across
the 700 feet of reef, all of which led up to
the Interesting circumstance of submarine
brick making. At the extreme eastern end
of the reef of rock rose about sixteen feet
above the bottom of the cutting edge of
the shield. The tunnel at this point Is so
near the bottom of the river that the clay
was almost fluid and continually slipped
Into the pockets of the shield, so that the
men could not get underneath the apron
to drill the rock. Scow after scow was
dumped, but the clay still leaked.
"As a last resort blowpipe flames, -fed by
two tanks of kerosene were directed against
the exposed clay until It was thoroughly
hardened, so as to hold Its position whilo
the men drilled the rock. The blowpipe
process took eight hours, during which time
streams of water were played on the shield
structure continually to prevent It being
damaged by the high pressure. The tun
nelling operations were successful here be
cause of the protection from the submarine
brick. ,
Novel Experience, Queer Remedy.
"The south tube furnished the other In
cident I have mentioned. At the begin
ning of the work there the shield on the
Hoboken side waa being driven through
silt, with the shield doors closed to save
the cost of excavating. While the heading
waa under the Lackawanna coal docks the
superintendent, thinking that the shield
was moving too slowly, opened one of the
center doors so that the mud could come
in and let the shield go ahead faster. The
silt shot in under such pressure that soma
of the men were burled before thoy could
escape, but the rest of the shift got away
through the emergency lock.
"The heading was lost, and the tunnel
between the shield and the lock being
Jammed solid with mud there was no space
for air pressure In which the men could
get to work digging out the mud. The
coal dock was crowded with shipping, and
because the l.ackawanna at that time waa
not particularly favorable to the tunnel
It would have been impossible to get per
mission to dredge out the bed of the river
In front of Hie ahiild so that a diver could
go down and timber up the exterior open
Ing to the doorway.
"The problem was solved as follows:
Two heavy mainsails were used to make a
double canvas cover about sixty by forty
feet. Weights of pig iron were secured
around the edges. The canvas was spread
on a flat barge. Then the barge was with
drawn and the mainsail was allowed to
drop to the bed of the river, thirty feet
of it covering the shield and the other
thirty extending toward the middle of the
river. One of the pips valves In the lock
was opened and the mud under the pres
sure of the river shot Into the tunnel west
ward for forty feet. It poured In for eight
days and nights
"A cavity had formed In the bed of the
river outside the cutting edge of the shield
until the canvas dropped and was event
bally drawn Into the doorway thruut;
which the mud was pouring. A mid,
cavity was excavated In the mud fllleu
tube ahead of the lock, and the air pres
sure being put on, it Immediately relieved
much of the strain on the canvas cover.
Miners were then able to get Into the tun
nel and dig out the mud. In about nine
days tha heading was recovered and the
door on tha inaida closed."
BLOCK HOUSES SIX THOUSAND
Startling- natures A lion t Crowded
Hires of Humanity In New
York City.
In Federation, the publication of the Fed
eration of ChurcheB, New York City, Har
old M. Flnley has an article on "The Con
gestion of Manhattan," In which he pre
sents some striking figures, based upon a
study of the most thickly populated sec
tions of Manhattan Island, or rather of the
statistics of the population of those sec
tions. He says that H. Q. Wells never
dreamed so fanciful a thing as a city of
300,000,000 souls, but adds that this would
not be so Impossible a conception aa one
might Imagine.
'There are tpday," he says, "probably
between sevefty-five and one hundred
blocks on Manhattan island having a den
sity of over 1,000 people to the acre. Were
we to conceive that the entire 210,000 acres
of Greater New York's area were so
densely peopled we should have a Gotham
boasting a population equal to the com
bined populations of the United States,
Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain and
the German empire. One tohole section of
the Borough of Manhattan actually ap
proximates such a density today."
Mr. Flnley observes that New York's
favorite borough Is In Itself a compact
nation of villages, towns and little cities,
separated only by busy streets. In 1!I06
there were 80S city blocks with populations
of over 1,000 each on this island. One hun
dred and eighty-Klx of them had popula
tions of over 2,000 each; forty-six of them
of over 3,000; three of over 4,000, and there
was one with a population of botween 6,000
and (i.OCO, and one with a population of
11,173. This last ts of course tho notorious
negro block bounded by Amsterdam and
West End avenue and Sixty-first and Sixty
second streets.
Regarding this neighborhood Mr. Flnley
points out a fact of which few persons ate
aware, that Immigration from the West
Indies Is constantly Increasing. This most
congested of blinks has only 14 per cent
of alleiiB, but these aliens are nearly all
WcBt Indian negroes.
"A town with a population of 6,173," Hays
Mr. Flnley, "would In many a section of
the country be a proud, patronizing me
tropolis. In 1900 there were less than 9U0
Incorporated places of l.ooo population west
of the Missouri river. At tlie(same data
the solid south, eliminating Missouri,
boasted only 795 Incorporated. places of 1.CO0
and over population. In New York state
there were only 531 Incorporated cities,
towns and crossroads hamlets of any size.
"In 1905 30 per cent of tho population of
Manhattan ,or 64.99R, the population of
Boston, lived In 237 blocks of over 1,000
population."
Fifty-one blocks which in 1900 contained
132.KM1 people contained In 1905 177,9k. This
Increase of 34 per cent In the population
in five years represented 17 nor cent of the
total five years' Increase in the borough.
