For instance, a woman from the sunny Southland stop- ping at one of the big hotels, accord- ing to the sober statement of a New Yorker, recently paid $63.50 for a pair of shoes. The hotel clerk, who paid the bill for her.ladyship, nearly fainted at the price, although popular opinion accredits those people with being price proof if anyone is exempt from such shocks. ; But the lady from the South did not by gny means rob the city of its highest-priced footgear, according to representatives of fashionable bootmakers. For instance, any indulgent hus- band may pay $75 for his wife’s simple black evening slippers with rhinestone heels to twinkle in the dance and trample on the heart of man. But it is not necessary to pay so much even for elaborate footwear. A nice, quiet pair of boots for a windy day may be had for $45. The vamps of these shoes are of purple-blue. metallic kid and the tops are light green, embroidered with dull red flowars. Then there is a pink kid short-vamp shoe, with the top embroid- ered in gold, which is only $45. : Having one’s boots made with short vamps makes them more expensive because the model is French and American bootmakers find difficulty in copying it. For this reason a great many women are “going in” for the short vamps nowadays. It costs real money for society women to be well shod. According to a well-known bootmaker, the average woman has a pair of shoes for every dress she wearsy some customers buying as many as 100 pairs a year. “Qur customers order from six to eight pairs of shoes at a time,” said the bootinaker, “at an average price of $40 per pair. Of course, simple sports boots, and evening slippers made from customer’s own material cost less. Prices are going up every day. The only thing for the women to do if they want their footwear to be less expensive is to have their skirts so long they can wear pumps or low shoes.” Boston Post Office Uncle Sam Does Not Own OSTON.—When sailor boys strike Boston, the first place they lay a course for, after they get shore leave, is a little post office, as it were, in Water street, Charlestown, which is not under federal jurisdiction. The post office ; "consists of a wooden case, with a glass door about four inches deep and about 25 or 30 inches in its other dimensions. It is fastened on the wall of the game room, on the second floor of the Sail- ors’ Haven. . Over it presides Miss Helen Hunt, the matron of that genuine home, which serves the purpose of ‘keeping young British apprentices and others not so young off the street corners and all that goes with them, and fur- ” nishes a lounging place for them in their “hours of ease.” This post office, of which the glass door is padlocked, seldom contains more than 30 or 35 letters at a time. There isn’t room to arrange more than that on display. Then they're gathered up by the con- signees just about as fast as they're arranged. , But sometimes, so at apparently is the world-wide faith in the depot for letters, and so great 1S a boy's habit of not going just exactly where he announced, letters are not called for. So, stretching back, in instances for a couple of years, many letters have been docketed and stowed away by Miss Hunt. ' The docketing isn’t really necessary, for years of practice and acquired | familiarity with the characteristics—epistolary and otherwise—of her “boys” has made Miss Hunt able to track much-wanted letters at a moment’s notice, ‘ Her great big heart helps, as well as her head, in this. The eyes of a pbilatelist would be interested in a glance at this case on the wall. The letters bear stamps from as far away as India and Australia and New Zealand. Now and then is one right from the front, “somewhere.” ' There will be many bearing that unromantic libel “opened by the cen- sor.” And these are not all addressed in the hard-to-decipher German script. Some have English postmarks. Convict at Columbus Makes Rubber and Dyes OLUMBUS, 0.—With a crude homemade laboratory, which he has set up on his desk in the penitentiary library, Dr. Emerich W. Ritter, formerly a Cleveland chemist, claims he is extracting rubber, tannin and a red dye from the bark of the chu tung gree, THER grown in China. iy he d f s . The department of agriculture EE: 128 . says. It shipped him five pounds of the bark, the first ever sent to this country, after Doctor Ritter says he pointed out to the department that the bark contained rubber. The man, who startled the country on his arrival at the penitentiary last year by his inventions of “liquid fire” and -aniline dyes, declares that not only has he extracted a rubber of remarkable resiliency from the bark, but tannin, used in the tanning industry, and a dye the exact color of the dye used in the two-cent stamp. From a pound of the bark Doctor Ritter says he obtains two ounces of crude rubber, four and one-half ounces of tannin and three-fourths of an ounce of coloring matter. Doctor Ritter says he was first attracted to the possibilities of the. chu tung bark while in China 15 years ago as a member of the Germany navy. A great flood of the Jap-Toche-Kiang and Pei-Ho rivers, in whose valleys the trees grow, destroyed thousands of them and he noted then the resiliency of the bark. . 66 4 . Little “T. R.,” Chicago Coon, Causes Spook Scare HICAGO.—Recently servants in the big homes along Sheridan road in the C neighborhood of Diversey parkway began to whisper strange tales to each other concerning the home of Luther P. Friestedt. They said it contained a “spook.” Mr. Friestedt didn’t hear anything about it until some days Gl later. Then one of his own servants came to him with a hair-raising tale about some mysterious noises and moanings that came from the walls in various parts of the house. 3 “Nonsense,” replied Mr. Friestedt. Then a night or two later, just around’ dinnertime, Mr. Friestedt heard a terrible clatter in the kitchen. Before he could get up from his chair all the servants in the place had de- serted the kitchen and were fleeing in panic toward the front of the house. “’'Smatter?’ demanded Mr. Friestedt. “Spooks,” was the reply. “We heard him walking along between the Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties.

All of a suddint he gave a moaning squawk and that was too much.” “Let's see about it,” said Mr. Friestedt, as he led everybody down into the basement. He opened the door of the fruit cellar. And sitting among a lot of overturned jars with its face all smeared with jam was a baby raccoon. And Mr. Friestedt got the surprise of his life when he went to capture it. The raccoon fought all the servants and the master of the house fo a stand: still for an hour and a half, Mr. Friestedt called up Cy De Vry to make him a present of it. “Huh, that's little “IT.
