A very popular young preacher, Saws the
New YORK Tribune, was the recipient of
much attention on the part OF the ladies OF
his congregation, and one shy blushinE

could be the connection between the theatre
cal manager and Miss S., whom he looked
upon as one OF the pillars If his church. he

Colored undressed kid shoes and slippers
are manufactured in large quantities for
dressv indoor wear. They appear in a score
of different shades. consequently there is
little difficulty in matching them TO various
gowns. A dark russet-colored susde kid is
a very good choice for those who cannot
afford a variety, although black velvety
undresSed kid foot-covering is more elegant
aud satisfactory all around than a colored
one. Russell, however, harmonizes with
most dresses, and, like dove-gray, does not
bear its date like some of the "swelr En-
glish styles with fanciful foxingS.
Very dark mulberry is among the
new shades. Daintily embossed kid is
used for making very chic and pretty san
das and slippers worn with tea-gowns.
Undressed kid slippers of all tints are dec.
Grated with bits OF "jeweln work. The en-
broidery on the toes of some of the chamois
colored russell and cream white undressed
kid slippers is beautifully executed with
moonstones, opals tlrquolseS, garnets,
pearls and other simulated gems. Sandals
worn with Greek and other "art toilets
are ornemented with stripes of gold braid
or with network of gold and silver threads,
and an instep ornament, executed With silk
and gold, is substituted for the customary
buckle
A lady just returned from Paris, says the
New York Tribune. has a number of silk
foundation skirts, belonging to as many diff
ferent dresses. They are made as follows:
Four straight breadths and a half Of taffeta
silk; one breadth for each side, one for the
front and one and half for the back
Across the back-about q half-yard below
the waists a drawing string. or some
times al elastic, which stops at the sides.
Dress "extenders' are not used. The front
and side breadths are adjusted to the figure,
OF course, before sewing to the narrow
Waistband, and the back is pleated. The
breadths at the bottom are faced with
lght-quality wigan about one-quarter yard
i'll depth, and covered with mohair. Now

A rufflo about five inches deep, including

home she didn't love him any more.

"You-you have to take me home first

Very well, but we can part then"
"Of course; we always do"
