CHICAGO. Jan. 9.—Clnderellas, 300 gorgeous ones —put the kick in the Nation’s shoe style show here today. Thousands flocked to the mammoth Coliseum to attend the National Shoe Retailers’ exhibition and departed without seeing a shoe. Perfect three A’s, model B 4s plain, 5s and 0s on the double E were wafted down the mile of runway by the strains of a lively march. It took a whole year to carefully pick the models from all over the United States. All of them furnished a thrill, even as Cinderella two minutes before the midnight gong clanged. Manufacturers, realizing that thei. show was too successful and that many dealers would leave with a most minute conception of every detail of milady’s apparel but the shoe, started side shows. At these exhibitions the model was screened —all but the foot and a very small portion of the ankle. Here dealers all over the country picked out the shoes you will wear in the springtime. The season's shoe and slipper will be neater and simpler, lacking beads, straps and buekles. The price to the shoe wearer will be a trifle less. Part of the style show was devoted to Instructing the public in methods of choosing correct fitting shoes. Miss Marjorie MacGregor personally fitted shocking stockings to demonstrate that correct shoe fitting starts with the hose. Shoes and stockings go “foot in foot,” she explained. SAFETY IN NUMBERS. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Harry Bruhloff. a chauffeur, was arrested for speeding and upon being searched was found to be wearing two pairs of trousers. He explained that he kept his money in the pockets of the pair underneath to fool hold-up men.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR

Bt David Cory ————— “Whoa there!” cried Puss Junior, reining in his Good Gray Horse. The Robin perched on the fence, and the Pig Without a Wig gave a grunt of satisfaction and lay down on the grass. A little man, very angry and excited, steed by the gate whipping a small dog. “Hold on! Why do you whip yous dog?” cried Puss. “That's what I'd like to know,” said Tom Thumb. The Pig Without a Wig gave another grunt; the Good Gray Hors* whim: ed ad nthe little Robin chirped And then the little angry man stopped beating his dog and said; “I had a little dog, his name was Buff. I sent him to the store for an ounce of snuff. But he lost the bag and spilt the snuff, So take that cuff, and that's enough.” "I’m glad to hear you say it's enough,” cried Tom Thumb. “We were about losing our patience. We never allow anyone to hurt an animal.” “It's my dog, and I'll do what I like with him," cried the man, and he gave poor Buff another cuff. This was too much for our brave Puss Junior. Leaping from his saddle, he drew his sword and ran toward the man. “If you give Buff another cuff I'll cut the cuff off your sleeve. And If that’s not enough, I'll cut the sleeve off your coat.” The man paused, his arm uplifted ready to strike the poor dog. "Be careful,” said Puss, “I mean what I say. While I'm not overfond of dogs, at the same time, they are man’s best friend. My trusty sword shall see that you treat your dog kindly.” “Bah!" suddenly exclaimed the man, giving poor Buff another cuff. “My clog’s name is Buff, but yours, Sir Cat, is Bluff.” But the next minute he wished he had left these words unsaid. Puss Junior's sword flashed a moment in the sunlight and then down it came and off went the man’s cuff as neatly as if a tailor had used his big scissors. “Phlst!” hissed Puss. hLs eye blazing with anger. “Phist’ phist!" and again his sword flashed, off went the man’s sleeve as neatly as a butcher slices off a piece of ham. “Hold, my noble Sir Cat!” cried the man, “would you undress me with a sword? Take the dog, and let me go*” "A bargain!” crisd Puss Junior, sheathing his sword. “Come Buff, your master has given you to me!" "Gid-ap!” said Tom Thumb, and awa, went the Good Gray Horse, the Robin, the Pig Without a Wig, and Buff, barking with delight at his good fortune to be with these merry comrades of Puss Junior. -Copyright. 1922.
