ing CLEAN Of novelty to a lawn party,

said the King, when he saw that even

in with William OF Orange, who wore

The bridal slipper has a half high
heel and has rosette of white tulle on

gold embroidery. A fayorite shape is

summer novelty is cross between a
slipper and low shoe. Gray suede
may be the material, stitched with pink
or blue, with ribbons to tie the side

OoZe calf, russell seal, goat and patent
leather combinations; and kid shoes,
whether in suede or polished finish, can
be had OF color to go with almost any
costume. For street rs well as house
wear, stockings must match low shoes.
The window Of fashionable shoe
shop is positively interesting. New
foot wear is dainty in all its rich sheen
OF polished leather. Spread out on 4
dull gold carpet are tiny pumps, above
which one cannot help imagining black
silk stockings, with insertions Of Chan
tilly lace up the inStep, upon which one
builds the figure of a tall, dark elcgGnte
pdSSe, but still charming. Side by side
with these tasteful fancieS is pair of
light gray, Sharply-pOinted foot cover
iugS, which seem almost ready to raise
themselves on ;heir high heels, in order
10 show the pretty silver nails with
which the arch little woman, whom
fancy conjure> up as their owner, has
had them set around. Well to the
front are pretentiouSly Slump-S0led lit
tie boots for daring lady pedestrians,
manniSh boots for fair eQuestrianS,
smart tOp-bOOtS which now and then an
audaciOuS girl wears when driving i'm

movable tops for the athletic girls who
climb or go with their brothers on long
tours.
There are charming little bottineS,
and fixed on light wires as if to show
how purely ethereal are the beings for

Those scarlet, high-heeled slippers with
toe pieces of patent leather can be in

neck are three strings of coral beads
and she carries a fan of scarlet feathers.
