home very much disgusted with the
whole affair. When his favOrite, Mrs.
| Solomon, asked him what the new styles
were he.snapped out "The thing that
hath been, it is that which shall be, and
there is no new thing under the sum-"
Well, suppose if Solomon had ac-
cOmpanied ME when l went shopping
last week, he would have said "cnest-
NUT to everything he saw; but l really
enjoyed the exposition, seeing much and
buying nothing.
A shoe store came first on my round.
There seems to be no particular caper
i'll shoes. In heels people may be high,
low or springy. A No. 6 is now made
with a spring heel, but those wearing
over that number need not apply this
season. DR.. K9hler's health shoe is the
latest. The Waukenphast is wide, but
the NJ. ID. shoe is wider. 1t wouldn't
make any difference whether you put
your foot in sideways or lengthwiSe. 1t
is the thing to have shoes made to order
with cloth tops like ones dress, but, if
you can't have them, 81 shoes are better
than no shoes. Sealskin and beaver

rhinestone buttons of the black satin
shoes would show off to better advantage
on dog collar than under ones skirts.
OF course, the shoeman said, it was
fashionable to have big feet. He had

soon turned in at dry goods store;
handled everything, priced everything
and finally left everything. If one is
looking for something real new and
striking for dress the imported robes
are warranted to suit. They are the
best of their kind that have ever come
to st. Paul. The great advantage in
getting one of them is, that though
there are dozens of them, no two are
alike, and it is comfort to know you
can get a dress without having your
neighbOr over the fence come out in one

You had better be out of the world than
out of tinsel. Ruchings looked very
pretty beaded with gold, silver, steel or
pearls. Tinsel ruchings are lasting, too,
but they scratch. There were pretty
handkerchiefs for Is cents, and some
for $40. The Irish linen ones are par
ticularly taking. There are MANY
samples of them, and ladies choose any
they like best and the linen is then sent
to Belfast TO be embroidered. 1t would
save time and money to be patriotic and

Winter clOaks and wraps were selling
more readily than fall jackets. Two
wraps were especially striking, green
plush with ostrich trimming, and
another with real African monkey
trimming. | wonder how wrap made
of Mr.. Crowley's fur would SELL All
the latest children'S wraps had little
bustleS attached, and that reminded me
to inquire about the hustle trade. The
salesman said they have no fall stock in,
and would sell what were left over from
last spring cheap. I'm glad they're
cheap. Clara Belle may say what he or
she pleaseS; know there are lots of
women left on this planet who would
rather go without dinner than to go
without hustle. The newest thing in
an underskirt is an elder down. If you
wear one, it's enough. Six skirts make
a woman look like pyramid on feet.o
At the hosiery department you could
pay your money and take your choice;
10 cents or $40. The fancy shades are
copper or mahogany, lavender, hello

stocking of solid copper color was very
handsome, but the latest things out are
stockings of two cOlors. The lower

black silk stocking with beaded front is |
also something new. The saleswoman |
