WINTER SHOES FOR LADIES.

Twenty years ogo it vas no uncommon
thingto see a lady walking on snowy and
wet pavenents in shoes Of prunelle with
the thinnest soles. About that time 4
lady, for how many years one of the fore
most fashion writer's, determined to wear
and write sensible shoes into fashion.
Gradually her example and her teachings
won disciples and imitators. Now on
&, oadway IN the winter season cloth
shoes are never seen unless in badge Of
poverty, and rarely are they seen in the
summer time. Thick .soled kid, morocco,
anu pe bile goat for stree, wear have long
been worn. Within year or two an ad-
vance has been made ever from this, and
ladies are wearing on the street boots Of
calfSkin, lined with flannel or kid, with
broad Scotch soles and broad low heels.
If the skirts are worn long. over even
these shoes should be worn pair CT neat
ly.titting waterproof CATERS, to keep the
ankles free from dampness. Thus shod,
rubbers. except in very wet walking, are
unnecessary. For carriage wear very
handsome and comfortable shoes are
made of quilted beaver, lined with flannel.
and edged with fur. In very cold
weather everybody who can offord them
wear arctics. Any ingenious woman can
make PAIR for herself with little trouble.
Let her cut pattern to fit over her shoe.
and with this as guide cut out the up
pers from whatever pieces of thick cloth
she may have in the house. An old felt
hat will furnish material for the soles,
and over the shoe when it is done rubber
sandals may be nicely fitted and sewcd.
If those shoes are made to button high
up above the ankle, they will prove a
great protection to t !e lower cxtremities
in snowy weather, and when their value
is once known will be considered indis.
penSable.
For house wear slippers are not suita.
