FASHIONABLE SHOES.
The Kind They Wear in London and
What They Covet in New York,

From the Home Journal
The most fashionable London shoes, for very
smart occasions, are in silk, suede, or morocco
corresponding with the gown, with contrast.
ing heels, rands, and either ribbon tying the
side flaps together, on the instep or hand
some buckle. Gray silk or morocco, with
white heels, rands and a silver buckle; dark
green with white, reseda with pale pink, black
with red, gold color with gray, have all been
popular combinations, and have been worn al
Goodwood, the garden party at Marlborough
house, and at entertainments on board the
ships and yachts off Portsmouth.
The fashion OF piping shoes with cork comes
TO US from the commencement of the eighteenth
century. The black patent-leather shoe, with
coiored satin heel, is another fashionable shoe.
and is copy OF French court shoes, wore very
many years ago, the shape and general fashion
being adhered to, though the patent leather is
an invention of modern day. Those with red
heels and handsome gold buckles are ex-
tremely smart and most becoming to the feet
For evening. brocade shoes, made with the
contrasting heel and rand, with dainty bows,
lined with the color of the heel or with cut
buckles, are in the height of fashion. Some of
the bows are smartly set up, each one lined
with color, drawn together at the base in form
somewhat resembling a mouse's ear while
others are laid over upon the shoe, sometimes
with three pearl or crystal studs placed down
the center. The brocade is usually that of the
gown the shoe is to be worn with and the heel
and rand that of the color in it, such as gold
and white brocade with a gold satin heel and
piping and SO on.
For ordinary wear kid shoes are more FASH
lonaole than satin. For afternoon wear colored
and embossed morocco shoes, after the Louis
XIV period. with high-pointed instep flaps and
handsome buckles, are much worn. These
SHOES are often worn with historical costumes

Exploded Notions.

From the New York Sun.
There are q. good many notions long e1-
ploded.
Nobody believes, for example, that all women
wear tight shoes.
That all club men get drunk and don't 60
home till morning.
That the children Of fashionable people are
not well taken care of.
That all boarding house tables are bad.
That all women wear tight stays.
That all women lay the seeds for rapid con-
sumption BY getting their petticoats wet on
rainy days
That all women are Jealous Of each other.
That all women are undergrad
That all mince pies are indigestible.
That little candy ia unhealthy.
That fruit diet will save your body ana
soul.
That your way il the right way. and mine il
the wrong.
Nobody believes any Of these things, except
the people who live such narrow lives that thew
think nothing good can come out of Nazareth.

THE EXPERIENCES OF THE coMPILER-MEMBERs
WHO WANT TO MENTION THEIR ANCESTORS
OTHERS WHO CONCEAL THEIR AeEs-RErusALs
TO GIVE MIDDLE NAMES

ARMY RECORDS.
''Do those who have military or naval rec
ords seem DESTROYS of having them incorporated
in their biographies" queried the reporter.
'They do" said Mr.. Michael. Both Union
and confederates are particular about that
Both are evidently proud of what they did in
the late war. They are not, however. equally
willing to give the directory the benefit of their
full names. Odd, isn't it? Very peculiar. but
very true. Most of them will give their first
name and their last, but they seem to have a
decided objection to doing any more than give
the initial of their middle name when thew have
one. Especially is this reluctance-often di-
rect refusal-notieeable in northern and west
ern men; southern men are invariably willing
to tell it ALL"
Have you found out why?"
II think have" replied Mr.. Michael. at
seems 70 be SO because a great many southern
men in Congress have names of persons who
have been historically prominent, and in most
instances the Christian names were those of
these distinguished ancestors A large number
of the northern and western men who we re-
asked for their middle names refused point
blank to give them. A few of the southerners
neglected to send more than the middle initial.
but In no instance did one Of them refuse.
REFUSING INFORMATION REGARDING AGE.
"There is another line on which refusals
were not wanting" continued Mr.. Michael.
''and that is as to age. Occasionally Con-
gresham would confess himself to be a BACH
elor and would state quite emphatically that
he did not desire his age to be made plain in
the directory.
"How long does it take the government print
ing office to turn out the book? About four
days. That means that from 2S5 to $50 pages
Of type are set up and printed from and that
Is, 900 copies have been bound and delivered
OF this number 500 have been bound in cloth
for members; the others are in paper covers.
The second edition comes out after the House
committees have been appointed. That edition
numbers 10000 and there ia not the slightest
difficulty in getting rid Of the whole of it.''
EAaERNEss FOR BIOGRAPHICAL DErAIa.
~ would confne the first edition." said Mr..
Michael, ''simply to the biographical sketches,
and would have copies Of it on the desks Of
Congressman when the Senate and House are
called to order on the first Monday in Decem-
Der. suppose you will disagree with me, but
IL il an indisputable fact that the biographies
are read with more avidity on that day than on
any other. Old members and new ones are
mixed up 90 a. to be lost for awhile, and both
classes refer to the directory TO tell them Who
this man on the right is or who is he that sets
to the left or In 'front.' Members get to know
each other very speedily through the instru-
mentality Of those few lines devoted to each"

Garter buckles of silver have come in greater
variety than ever this year. Possibly more
will be distributed at weddings than as holiday
souvenirs. In the German imperial family the
curious fashion of giving garters 10 the friends
OF the bridegroom still prevails. At the we'd
ding of the Princess Sophie this custom was
carried out. Thirteen pairs were made to
commemorate the event. The brides pair was
of pale blue silk with diamond buckles One
pair was for the Hohenzollern collection at
Berlin, where already some three score were ex-
hibited. The eleven remaining pairs were for
the mobiles attending the crown prince Of
Greece. This is a fancy that may End favor ON
this side of the Atlantic, aud carriers NAV be-
come one of the features OF American weddings
in the near future.
The subject of Christmas presents has drifted
away and wedding fayors have crept in II onlv
remains to recall the former theme long enough
to wish 10 the readers of The STAR the time
worn yet always welcome "merry Christmas"
with peace on earth, good will to men,"
