Women Form Military Organization.
While the Russia "Battalion of
Death" has been greatly admired, I j
think the Battalion of Death to
loneliness among the Sammies is also
worthy of great commendation.
Such an organization has been
formed among the young society girls
of Des Moines. It is the Girls' Vol
unteer Aid, but thejr call themselves
"Pals." Each letter is the initial let
ter of the words which are their slo
gan, Patriotism, Adaptibility, Loy
alty and iervice. , ,
The workers have a regular army
organization. They are divided into
companies and regiments with the
corresponding officers.
Each division of .their "army" gives
an entertainment for the soldiers.
Little dances and social affairs, which
are a sure cure for that "far from
noma and mother." feeling, are given
at regular intervals for the men in
khaki. I
Mrs. Clement Chase, who is chair
man or the National Service league's
committee of hostesses for the sol
diers, says that the men in training
at Fort Omaha must spend 6 much
of their time in study that the offi
cers do not care to have their minds
distracted by. too majiy social duties.
Then, too, there are no buildings at
the tort wliicn could be us$d for en
tertainment purposes. Perhaps a lit
tie later, when conditions become
more settled, Mrs. Chase thinks that
something of this sort may be done
for the soldiers "within our gates."
Off for California. ,
Mrs. E. E. Newbold left this morn'

EMORY? Why, I am an old,
old shoe, with a memory
keen as a razor and a life
full of up and downs.
My first recollection of shoes play
ing an important part in life was the
day I made my debut into society. It
was at a Roman banquef and my mas
ter was host. He seldom wore me
and it was this day that I learned his
reason for keeping me always on a
shelf.
His guests were highly blaming
him for divorcing his wifeV "Wat" she
not good? Was she not fair? Was
she not faithful?" they asked. .
Holding me up so that all might
see, my Roman master replied: "Is
this not a new and well made shoe?
Is it not beautiful? Yet, none of you
can tell where it pinches me."
Then and tbre my career began.
I could not remain under his, roof
longer so I. started out on nTy travels.
Long, long ago, I remember, when
every member qf the Shoe family was
young in evolution and, naturally,
cruaely Duut. Our soles were coarse
and creakyour uppers were un
dressed and full of pores.

A shoe, young in, evolution, Is like
a human soul young in evolution. It
takes experience, thought, experiment
and- love to refine us.
Why, I can remember when I was
a young fellow that a whole pair of
shoes could be purchased for less
than one dollar. I have been present
many a time when the master of the
house lined up his family against the
wall, measured the length of their
feet by twigs and took the twigs to
the merchant who supplied shoes in
which the twigs would fit.
One old fellow I remember with a
large family and plenty of money ob
jeciea' to paying $14.87 for ten pairs of
shoes, so he bought the leather and
hired a shoemaker to make them at
a grand total of $9.15. But they were,
as one might expect, coarse, roueh.
and their only redeeming feature was
the wearing quality, i?
From the originaltolor of black, or
near black, shoes ventured out in tan.
rindingthis quite successful, they took !
courage 'and began to appear in
brown, ox blood, suede pearl gray,
taupe. It looked for a time as though
the conventional blacks would be rele,
gated to the dump heap, but they
have managed to hold their own and
are growing popular again this year.
These colored boots gave Milady
the germ of a bricht idea and she
began to match her shoes to her cos
tumes. This, of course, meant not one
or two pairs of shoes, but dozens. We
began to flourish in our popularity and
were aigninea oy trees to keep us in
shape; we were sent to the hospital
when we became ill pr looked at all
distressed. . We were . bathed and
groomea ana poiisnea ana rubbed we
were given mbrtf care-than .anything
eise in tne waroroDe. . r
I have been soendincr some time in
England where the war is stirring the
market somewhat and for the benefit
of our American people I brought a
clipping from the London Times
which dryly reads:
"In two or three weeks' time the
public may expect to find standard
boots exposed in the shop windows.
"If one may take the trade opinion
as correct, these are likely to prove
by no means objectionable in appear
ance and in wear far more practical
than 'the footwear hitherto available
for civilians. .The output is likely to
be anything from 250.000 to 350.000
pairs per week. They will be in all
the usual sizes (though it is not cer
tain if half-sizes will be provided) and
fittings. There will also be a certain
variety in the Jasts on which they
are made, but there will be no high
heels for women, nothing more than
an- inch or an inch and a half in
height at the outside. It will probably
not be possible to raise the heels for
those who may want them, higher as
the pitch of a last is made to carry
the Heel designed for it. It is not
probable that the standard boot will
kill' the high heelbut it is probable
that those who adhere to it in boots
of the summer variety with fabric
tops will have the worst of it during!
the winter.
"The price of standard boots is not
yet finally settled. It will be marked
on the soles of the boots, and no re
tailer will vary the marking. It is not
likely that women's boots will cost
more than . 17s. or 18s. Men's will
probably be more, and children's less
women hate to.be common-sensible
at too great a price of attractiveness
and yet many want to. preserve their
feet as nature made them. They will
heave a sigh of relief and gratitude to
trie shoe modelers and manufacturers
then for the prescribed styles in foot
wear this season.
I discovered that, vamps tend more
to normal length, though dress shoes
in the exaggerated length arc still to
be had by those who demand them.
The inner line of the shoe is some
what straiffhter and the toes have
freer swing. They are puttings trim
Cuban heel on some of the dainty
dress boots.
Few Violations
Of Meatless Day
A few violations of "meatless day"
Tuesday wee reported by Omaha
people, the proprietors of the eating
houses who were loose in the general
observance, declaring "we are doing
it only for ajfew of our best cus
tomers." Many people who took it upon
themselves to order meat with their
meals at various cafes yesterday had
to be satisfied vith fowl or fish, owing
to the strict orders given to restaurant
owners to observe "meatless Tues-.
day." In some cafes, only beef was
eliminated from the menus and either
pork, mutton or veal were Aelished by
the people.
New Dishes.
I A new dish for "meatless Tuesda
i was out on tne market Dy l.ov
Ahlro u-lin nffprs a vegetable choP
suey' to the public which is said t
made with beef or chicken.
It was reported that one of the
packers served meat three times Tues
day to its employes.
Restaurant owners say that, they
can easily comply with the request of
the- food administration committee in
regard to the elimination of meat on
Tuesdays 1y substituting various
vegetable and fish dishes, which the
public will cheerfully accept.
J. F. Letton, chairman of the Ne
braska" committee on hotels, said:
"Hereafter, no beef, pork, mutton "
or veal is to be served, according to
the plans of the national food ad
ministration. I will see to it that this
order will be advanced in all the restaurants."

Additional interest is lent to the be
trothal announcement by the fact that
"A standard boot simply means a
boot for which a speculation of the
material to be used and, the form in
which it shall be cut up and assembled
are agreed upon. It must be of solid
leather and not of fabric. The dis
tributors are entirely in sympathy
with the public on the matter. The
government does not propose to inter
fere with the 4istribution, which will
take the ordinary course of the trade.
The manufacturers are arranging to
devote one-third of their olitput to
standard boots."
But nothing so prim and proper for
gay New York. I spent several days
in Manhattan, where I landed, and
discovered a few secrets.

ly posted on-shoes, says American
Evening. slippers are made of satin
and metallic cloth and to prevent fair
ladies from catching cold, beautiful
spats are made to go with them which
can be removed after entering a prop

Comfort is one of the main consid
erations this year, for women play
golf and are entering all kinds of
sport contests. They wouldn't get
very-far on stilt heels, but the "hik
ers" or "military" shoes are attrac
tively made and shout solid comfort"
to every prospective purchaser.
V Down through the annals of his
tory X have, wandered, over land and
sea, climbing mountains and pulling
through swamps. Like every other
traveler I have known the worst and
glimpsed the best. I have trudeed
on the feet of the poor and danced
on the 4oes of the rich, but never in
my experience have shoes been so im
portant, or so carefully selected as
now.
There are no more long full skirts
to hide us. There are no loose trous
ers to cover us. Skirts are going up,
up, up, every day and trousers fit
tighter as the ilors feel the pinch of
the war and the shortage of materials.

miles. What sights he saw during

Charles Dickens was a confirmed

experience of "life on the road" from
actual acquaintance with all sorts of

: One of the most remarkable erf
unprofessional walkers was Professor
Wilson, the "Christopher North" of
literature. His fine physique nd great
endurance preempted him to the per
formance of wonderful ; feats, which
seemed to him entirely a matter of
course. He once walked-40 miles in
eight- hours, and atv another time
walked a distance of 80 miles in 24
hours? 1 . . . "
Henry FawCett also was a tireless
J-walker, and one who, when deprived

Art, Says Emma Dunn '
Emma Dunn,' starring in Rachel
Crothers play, "Old Lady 31," in New
York, has taken under her profession
al wing Marie Pecheur, a young
French actress, who is playing in her
company.
Miss Dunn believes she has in
Miss Pecheur the making of a great -actress,
and that with the intensive
training to which she is subjecting
her pupil in two years' time she will
have gained in experience and study
what it otherwise would take her
years to-achieve. 1
I am doing this for; my little
friend," says Miss Dunn, "because so
little attention is naid to the vountrer
members of the profession by those
who have gained recognition in the
theater. When I was a beginner I
had to struggle along without any
aid from those above me. Then I
made up my mind that if I ever suc
ceeded 1. would do everythinir m mv
power to help the beginners. -
"Garrick said no actress can play
Juliet until she has had 30 years of
experience in tne tneater, ana when
she has had that she is too old to

It is too bad that the svstem of

he considered the greatest a"sset of an

How few have this Rift, and vet with

It is not selfishness 'that makes
actors indifferent to the claims of the
