BELLE E. CABLE, Paris fashion cor
respondent to Rddley's Magazine, says:
"The favorite boots for walking pur-
poses with ladies who make an especial
study of their chaussure are those with
cloth uppers and short vamps They
are peculiarly fitted to display shapely
instep and a welcomed foot. The
French say 'women's feet, by some phe-
nomenon, are becoming smaller and
smaller; we would say that they do not
wish to acknowledge them any more. >"
She adds: ga new invention In France
is said to be pair of musical boots,
which have been exhibited TO the presi-
dent. At every step the pressure of the
boot produces melod UT may be a waltz,
mazourka or an operate air. This az
rangement would be exceedingly con-

LIE Bon Ton predicts that popular
mantle will be the visit of Irish poplin,
which fabric makes magnificent man
ties and most durable ones, the ma
terial not becoming greasy by wear.
These mantles are lined with bright-col-
ored surah and highly trimmed with lace,
passementerie, cord, aiguillettes and but
tons; the fact is, In the expensive man
ties you can scarcely distinguish the
material from the trimmings. The large
sleeves will keep their ground, for they
are so commodious and so fit to wear
over elaborate dress sleeves; there is no
fear of damaging cuffs and ruf1es with a
wide sleeve mantle, and nothing looks
so charming as ahandsome arm and hand
well gloved and emerging from nest of
white laces, surrounded by crimson or
light blue surah.
