Summer.

Her wings above the noon;

Short Vamps, Vogue.
Every stylish American girl is to
be a Cinderella this winter.
For announcement has been made
by shoe men that the vamps are to
be shorter on the shoes this season
than they were last. These same
shoe men say that the short vamp
has come to stay. A year ago the
vamp measured from four to four
and a quarter inches. Then de
signers decided that they could make
the foot look smaller by shortening
the vamp. Accordingly, it was re
duced to from three to three and
rive-eighths inches.
For fall street wear the heavy ox
ford with fall outside tips and fox
ings, fairly heavy soles and low
heels in black and brown calfskin
with a tendency to a slightly fuller
toe will be apparent.
For dress wear fancy strap effects
will continue. These straps have
light soles and baby Louis and mili
tary heels.
In fact, the low cut shoe will
again hold sway and patent leather
with its accompanying vivid trim
mings will continue in the fore
ground. To becom a member of the new-ly-fcrmed
veteran Ladies' Golf As
sociation of Great Britain one must
be at least 50 years of age.
The Fate of Miss 1921
Will Miss 1921 survive the siege of critics and reformers. From a
prominent athletic club comes the demand that she lay aside her cigaret;
frotn the church conies the edict that she lengthen her skirt; from the little
town of Zion comes the law that she must wear no flimsy waists, no low
necks, no short sleeves, and, latest of all, from an insurance company
comes the news that the, bob is taboo. She is told that her dances origi
nated with the savage tribes, that her clothes are fit only for the demi
mnnito thit her lancruaffp i that of a crutter-snioe. that she has fallen from
grace utterly and that she no' longer deserves the age old reverence accord
ed woman. . ....
And much of it is true. Miss 19JI is a free and easy, scantily ciaa,
snappy little bit of humanity, but let any one try to pull the wool over
her eyes or attempt to put anything over on her and he will discover that
she has a backbone that would do credit to an Amazon.
Could any man kiss Miss 1921 unless she wanted to be kissed? Let
him try it if he's doubtful. Could he lead her down the flowery path of
destruction without her knowing it? She can count the pitfalls and side
step them like a thoroughbred. If she's saucy she's also wise. Education
and the free mingling in the affairs of the world have taught her how to
take care of herself, given her an opportunity to become economically
independent and created for her a spirit of comraderie with the opposite
sex that allows her companionship, if not as flattering, much more sensible
and intelligent than that of the old school when she was placed on a
pedestal. . ...
If the criers-down of Miss 1921 would only turn back to consideration
of Mistress 76 perhaps they would not be quite so fearful of the fate of
womankind.
Love Stories of
Today End in
Tragedy
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Today's love story doesn't end:
"And so they were married and
lived happy ever after."
Marriage begins the story-a-la-
1921. And two many of the stories
that begin with romance, love.
courtship, marriage end sordidly
or tragically or in boredom or the
divorce courts.
No one can turn on his feelings
as if they were controlled by a
shiny silver spicket.
There are things which compel
human emotions likewise things
which repel them. Marriage is not
a de luxe, simple, anybody-can-work-it
job. It's one of the hardest propo
sitions in the game of living.
To feed romance there s mystery
the unknown the chase. But mar
riage tears down most of the veils
of mystery and does away with the
need of pursuit. And so most "mar
rieds" sit back in cushioned ease,
fold their hands over expanding
figures, take to slippers and mental
slouchiness and then wonder why
the charm of courtship days seems
gone forever.
Quite a while ago the "lady
vamp" came sailing along msculine
horizons. She was ready to take the
place of any lazy, off-the-job wife
who was permitting a worth-while
man to get restive" and to feel an
interest in the idea of green fields
and pastures new. And now we have
the consolatory gentleman who's
ready to put a little romance into
the humdrum existence of the bored
wife whose husband insists on being
a provider and not a stimulant.
Some marriages go on the rocks
because of cruelty or incompat
ability. But a great many more are
shipwrecked because there's no one
around with enough common sense
to realize that there never was a ship
yet that could be trusted to sail
without steering.
Laziness, selfishness and stupid-.
lty ought to be given as the cause
of a large percentage of our di
vorces. Marriage is a contract, a business
partnership and an affair of the
emotions all in one. But if either
partner shirks and loses interest, how
long would the other permit a reg
ular business contract to stand? And
how long would any business partner
permit the other to demand an ac
count of all his time, to insist on
knowing with whom he had lunch
and to claim that he'd been abused
if his partner happened to play bil
liards with another chap in the
same line of trade?
Husbands and wives don't own
each other. No one can "possess"
the soul of another. We're all free
and instinctively we claim our right
to be individuals. That's all right
and fine enough as long as our free
dom isn't based on stealing from
any one else's store of freedom or
crowding other folks so we may
swing our own arms.
The love triangle wouldn't hap
pen along so often in our history if
the love-duet were played with any
sense of harmony.
The things which attracted be
fore marriage are likely to prove in
teresting after marriage. Neatness,
animation, interest, friendly respon
siveness to a mood, a sense o part
nership, an eager desire to please,
understanding, loyalty, unquestion
ing faith all these are just as im
portant as love and kisses. Emotion
may not stand up under a rival
emotionthat is newer, fresher, more
stimulating and made alluring by a
sense of uncertainty and the charm
of the forbidden. But loyalty and
faith and a deepening sense of grati
tude will.
Marriage is a business the most
important business in the world.
Home, family, life itself are based
on the marriage system. Why not
bring more efficiency to bear on the
subject?
Drawn Birds.
Housewives are often in a quan
dary to know whether it is a better
plan to have their poultry drawn or
not, because of the keeping quality
of the bird.
In elaborate experiments conduct
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture it has been found
that undrawn birds spoil less quick
ly, and partly drawn ones less quick
ly, than the fully drawn ones from
which not only the viscera, but also
the heads and feet, have been re
moved. ' i
