ideal, and nothing So emphasizes the

Inisleads the eye in the case OF a large one

rect rOsette is not the ordinary one that
has been worn from time to time, but the
great lace and silk roses of Charles |. 5 day.
For ordinary evening wear, kid or suede
shoes are more fashionable than satin. For
AFTERNOON wear, colored and embossed mo-
rocco shoes, after the Louis Nv. period
with high pointed instep flaps and hand
some buckles are much worn.
One of the attractive novelties for even
ing wear is a slipper Zig. 81, cut very low
at the sides and open across the front just
above the ball of the foot. The vanp is
cut Of glazed white kid. low at the toe and
long at the side, extending back to the thin
portion of the shank. The quarter is Of
Kid to match the wearer's dress in color. 1t
IS made up plain, so as not to show stitches
anywhere on the outside. The inside
IS lined with pearl-colored kid.

Is open fretwork, and the b inds are held by
an initial letter or monogram, suited TO the
name of the wearer, the monogram being
studded with stones, the kinds to suit the
taste or whim of the wearer. The heel is
covered with white leather, and the edge of
the sole, which is very thin, is finished
white. In toilet slippers a great variety
are shown, comprising a range OF
styles from which tie most particu-
lar can make a selection. They
are to be had in almost every known shade
and color, and of choice selections of fancy
feathers and cloths of any quality. They
can be had with heels or without. to suit
the fancy of the wearer. and with a plain
innersole, or one padded with the softest
down and quilted With rich colored silk. OF
the heelless variety, striking example is
seen in one with quilted silk or satin
vamp Zig. 81, trimmed around the
edge with a sort of box pleating, the
whole surmounted with neat bow or
ponpon of gold or silver threads, Another
novelty Fig. Y, has French kid vamps and
Louis XIV. heels. Around the ton of the
vamp is pleating of black silk, tipped with
white lace, while the front is ornamented
with a neat bow of black and white satin
ribbons. The lining is of white kid aud the
innersole padded to the comfort of mi-lady's
dainty feet.
Tue lace swalking shoe, or balnoral for
gentlemen's use, is the principal style of
foot covering now worn. The button and
congress styles are losing their old-time
popularity. A tasteful design is a patent
leather with seamless vamps cut in such a
manner as to extend uD the back seam to
the top of the shoe Gig. s.. his design
has the merit of doing away with the seam
at the back, where top and vamp usually
join, and which is SO apt to break away.
1t also permits of any amount of pinking,
perforatlng, and fancy stitching
with colored silk The heels
are of medium hight, but rather
slim, the sole light and flexible, and has the
rand ornamented with yellow stitches. This
snoe is also made in calf, kangaroo ami
dongola. When made in button a greater
opportunity is afforded for fancy orna-
mentatioD, which Is made the most of Zig
81 by some unique designs at the button
pieces, which are metered out in tasty scroll
work around the button-holes and stitched
to an underlying piece of leather of different
material, color or shade.
All the attractive ornamenJation con-
ceivable is being put into the once popular
button boot, for it has found q coaceited
rival in the lace boot.
