TEX Pumps Return To Popularity It appears that we are all going to wear pumps again. Pumps that are cut and styled to flatter the foot--as we always Sknew they did--and at the same'time assure Z the wearer of walking ease, The styling of the pump makes it moro interesting than ever," for theye are fine rows of stitching to streamline the length; tiny lapel turnovers to dress the vamp, And a great assortment of little buckles to toy and big bows or with. = i HEELS STILL HGH The comfort mostly concerns the cut of the vamp and fit, for the heels are as high as ever in pumps. Not that you can't buy Jow-heeled pumps. You can, and they are liked by mapy women, but there's mo dénying the fuct that the high heels ave the most popular with young people, many B of whom e¢laim they are more comfortable than low heels. Toes, by the way, will peep through small openings, and the majority of pumps have closed backs, al- though some of the sandal shoes and open" toes. . The open-back, open-toe sandal will not be one to struggle with "this season, for it though the majority of our sand- als will have closed backs, with open-toes and varied - strap ar.

Miss Lane, will those clothes you bought the cook fit her?" The whole party laughed then, "and Bob was quick to apologize, "Oh, I'm sorry, uh--Honey-- what'd you say your name is? Honey Bee? We were not laugh- ing at you, but at ourselves. You see, we expected a male cook, a man of cook thee white man's food," she repeated. "I cook it better than thee white. man's" woman." She looked at Mary Melissa. "What'll-we do?" interrupted Hades, Jones. "Cain't take no danged- squaw for no cook!" But Bob felt that Honey Bee needn't be insulfed any more by rude whites, himself included. He apologized again. "Sure, sure, come on anyway, Honey Bee, and supper and breakfast We'll still be skirting the Indian 'country, and you can ride home tomorrow and send us a man, I'll pay you, It's all right." Honey Bee Girl. The name was singularly * appropriate, Bob ad- tonight mitted. She was quick of motion like a- wild thing, sweetly pretty. She said she was 19 years of age.

After all, what is aris. tocracy ? This arid desert land was Indian wuntry. Maybe a cook was of low social caste in Manhattan, but cooking is a fundamentel thing out west, in the outdoors. And---now that she thought back --Mavy Melissa realized that she had been a bit patronizing, at least in her tone. She decided to forget the incident, The supper that night turned out to be perfect. With scant ut- ensils, an outdoor fire, and a lim- ited stock of supplies, Honey Bee quickly fed them gencrously and well. She even found time to dis appear up a canyon evidently wat- ered by an undersurface stream, and there pick a quantity of the odd plant called mingr's lettuce, an unexpectedly "delicious "salad which she dressed. with the rich brown, juice of fried ham. It touched the men's appetites great- ly. : "Nothin" but a Indian coulda done that," approved Holliman, picking his teeth, but Hades Jones * ° * It Looks Ghostly That first night was unevent- ful. 'Lissa slept soundly, despite and the party was moving again 'at dawn. Cac- fus and brush forced them to ride single file most of this day, so that, relatively, conversation was impossible, but interest heighten- -'ed when they finally made camp within sight of their goal. They were near, the foot of the great Castle cliff, It loomed impressive. | ly in the sunset glow. 'After supper, Bob studied the Castle outlines with his field glasses, although he -could see but litle in the twilight. "It's about C00 feet, straight up," he told Mary . Melissa. "No; no quite straight up, but nearly so. And you'll note the cliff cap above has a slight overhang. Centuries of erosion have cut back the softer under-strata, where the Castle stands." "Why is it called Defiance, Dr. Barry?" : "Because it has denied all ef- forts to explore it, and probably - was impregnable as a fort when occupied. One archaeologist, from the State University, did manage to climb part way up, chiseling toe holds and using ropes.- But -eveni 'he slipped on the down trip and broke his leg. And until now nobody has appropriated money for a real effort at it." Mary Melissa started intently upward. Fast dying shadows of . day seemed to create life in the _ | ~ old ruin. ""Looks ghostly," she ventured. "It is, There's a wealth of leg- end about the place, Miss Lane. Many good yarns; some fact, maybe. These dwellings were ab- andoned before Columbus sailed. We don't know why." "Goodness!" breathed the white girl. "It's fascinating." "Yes!" "Maybe the Indians drove them away. But where?" "Can't say. There are Indian legends about it too, but they don't help much." ; . ce To Climb the Cliff Next ddwn_ found.

"Let's take a long rope--say 300 feet of the one-inch stuff--and ride around to the top of this cliff."
