WEARING SENSIBLE SHOES.

Broad, Easy. Thick and Comfortable
A New PARA Shoe Aristocrat.
Truly, the woman is known by her shoes
or the heels of them, which are the sixniN-
cant feature. Frequently it is easier to make
a study of shoes while the woman is a girl
and before the skirts lave come down and
covered those implements of walking. Peo-
pie say Miss Waddell, Ellen Terry's daugh-
ter, has large feet. That is because there is
not another girl in New York who wears
such broad, easy, thick and comfortable
shoes. Contrast them with the native speci-
mems. There is Mr.. James Brown Potter's
little daughter, slim, trim, graceful, with
her fathers features and her mothers color
ing. Note the Melton cloak, wide hat and
the long, narrow, daintily fitting French
| shoes that tilt her forward as she walks ever
SO slightly.
Why wouldn't Mildred accept your invita-
tion when you suggested a turn in the park
this afternoon? You know that she is q
famous walker and that her tramps are the
admiration and the envy of the whole set of
athletic girls. Because the fair and discreet
Mildred had gotten herself up for slaughter
and put on for the first time an uncommonly
swell pair of new shoes. The dear girl Hooked
uncommonly brilliant, and it was just like
your masculine stupidity to take her bright
eyes, flushed cheeks and quick, impatient
vivacity for signs of correspondingly high
spirits and propose that least innocent bit of
a spree. You dull fellow. Her boots pinched
and she was aching to get rid of you, limp
home and screw the corners of her mouth
down with pain until she was in sight of
slippers again.
Mrs. Howard Crosby, the wife of the divine,
is a model of a sensibly shod woman. She is
one of the best walkers in New York, and
her shoemaker says that she knows what she
wants in shoes and has it-footwear that is
broad enough and low heeled enough to be a
help to locomotion, not a hindrance.
Actresses are apt to be sinners in shoe
leather. Emma Juch has spoiled a whole
scene because she was fairly crippled by
stilted heels that wouldn't let her walk across
the stage decently, and drew the attention of
the audience from the music to her feet.
Rosina Vokes knows better. Her feet,
get a glimpse Of them, reveal shoes or Slip
pers made expressly for them-neat, trinity
fitting, but low heeled and comfortable.
Selma Dolaro used to wear high heels of q
very uncomfortable, Frenchy build. Mrs.
Langtry sets q better example. She is a
walker, to keep down tho advances of EN-
bonpoint, if for no other reason, and she
wears a walkers shoes. She orders some
times q dozen pairs at a time, for she is a be
lever in the rule Of giving boots long rests
between times to be thoroughly aired and
regain their shape.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox is something of a
shoe aristocrat, and INDUCES in all sorts of
caprices, such as shoes made to order of the
material of her gowns to accompany half
the dresses, both for day and evening, that
she wears. Annie Jenness Miller. tho pretty
dress reformer, advocates, with limitations,
the same idea.-New York Mail and Express.
