1t is pretty slipper, and has been
carefully kept in the jewel case of one

1t is short, very narrow and very
high-hcelcd, and is n brocaded blue,
lined with soft white silk. The sole is
of coarse-grained leather and there are
three satin straps over the instcp, fas-
tened with paste buckle.
The pointed toe is embroidered with
silver threads and the edges are bound
with silver braid.
The condition regarding it's inherit

Sizcs-What Beats Thorn ALL
DOWNRIGHT, 1901


What can Il woman buy in New Yorl,
for a dollar? Not much, answers Miss
Impulsive, quickly, shaking her head
disdainfully at the very thought. But
wait little, my fair slcptic, and will
very soon convince you of the error of
your ways. L can take you to shop
that is frequentcd largely by aristo-
cratic New York, and that is dream
of delight with its beautiful tapestries,
its soft draperics, its tasteful orna-
ments, and there l could show you
more things that could be bought for n
dollar than you could count on your
fingers and toes. Let us see, then.
Do you want something handy for
pins@ Your pin cushion is probably too
dainty to use, and the pin marks show
on it. Here, then, is a pretty little pin
tray. You can see it's shape from the
illustration, and you can also see the
delicate vine traced on it, But what
you cannot see is its delicate coloring
1t is of Austrian ware of deep cream
and the edge has rim of gold. The
lilacs are in their natural colors, purple
and white, and the leaves in soft
green with n gold edge. Here is an
other that you can use for pins or bon
bons, as you like. It's stand is cluster
of green rose leaves, out of which grows

pink rose delicatcly tinted and open
at the top for whatever you may choose
to put in.
Perhaps you would like flower
holder. These are here in abundance,
number of them for just dollar.
Here is one of glass, which narrows at
the center and widens again at the top.
1t is exquisitely painted with sprays of
lily of the valley. Or you might
prefer this white swan, proudly curry
ing its long neck. The flowers
look very pretty growing out of
its back, which is left omen for
the purpose. Or this dove might take
your fancy, gracefully poised with out
stretched wings. 1t also is white, and
would be very pretty filled with ferns.
And this dull yellow Bohemian glass
basket would look beautiful filled with
Marechal Neil roses. 1t has very
pretty futed edge, and the white handle
has thorns sticking out of it that don't
hurt your fingers bit when you touch
them.
It's very hard to make hairpins look
pretty on your dressing table, isn't it?
Somehow no matter what sort of a
pretty thing you have for them they al
ways seem to stand up very straight
and aggressive and never to harmonic
with other things. But there is some
thing in this same store for hairpins,
and it has a cover, SO that the pins
don't show at all. The box is dark blue
and on it is painted in shades of golden
brown a pretty little pastoral scene,
and when you open the box you see a
number of compartments, each one
different size, to fit the various pins, SO
that they don't get mixed up, and make
you tumble for half an hour for the size
you want when you're in an awful hur-
ry. And it's all filled with pins now for
exactly 81.
Perhaps you want to give little re-
membrance to friend that has almost
everything in the world. One of these
dainty white transparencics, with an
edge of gold, to hang in her bedroom
window would be just the thing. There
are number of designs to select from.
Here is summer scenc-a girl lazily
leaning back in great rustic chair
with lover bending over her. And here
storm, with couple flying before it.
Or this one representing group of
statuary would probably please her.

deeper shade, a true fawn, of Bedford
cord, made shorter. 1t was quite
unique, in that it was trimmed with
thy bands, scarcely more than cord
ings, of black astrakhan. They were
on each scam in the back, there was
ono on each side in the front, and four
on each sleeve. A small one on each
hip connected the wide pockets with
the bands at the back.
Wraps are gorgeous in their coloring,
which is growing more oriental every
day. There were three on Fifth
avenue yesterday that great many
people turned again to look at. One
was eastern throughout, embroidered
all over in the fine gold work and
bright colors of the Japanese, which
are impossible to duplicate in this coun-
try. The embroidery was set on dark
green velvet, and the wrap was
trimmed with deep green fringe,
with heading of tiny balls in the
bright color of the embroidery. 1t
was scarcely beautiful, and one could
not help but admire the courage of the
woman who wore it.
The second was deep shade of hell
otrope, embroidered in black let and
gold beads. The high collar was edged
with feather trimming. There was q
large yoke of jet and gold and cmbroid-
cry, yet the work was SO fine that any
possible suggestion Of "loudness" about
the garment was entirely removed.
The third fell in love with. 1t was
in such perfect harmony. The ground
was a pale bistre, and it was covered
IN r.
brown cords with fine interlacings of
gold. This also had high collar edged
with feather trimming, and deep
plain fringe to match the bistre.
With all our novelties, the original
ity upon which we pride ourselves, with
all the striking and even startling
things that one sees every day in the
shops on the avenues, where everyone
goes, there still remains certain SINH
larity between all women one meets, a
resemblance tina. the most fertile
brain or most ingenious devices
cannot efface. For after all, one
dares not dcviate to any great
extent from what is decreed by Dame
fashion as ''thc thing" All cloaks are
long, all wraps are threc-quarter length
and have high collars; all high collars
have feather trimmings; all dresses
have trains of exactly the same length,
cut after exactly the same pattern; all
hats are extremely low in the crown,
with wide brims and something
standing up very stiff and straight near
the back. And if one would take his
place behind row of women and sur
vcy them from the shoulders down they
would all present very much the same
appearance.
Although cloaks maintain their length
capes are growing shorter, particularly
ut the hips, where they reach just to
