SUICIDES are very pretty embroidered,

nothing quite so pretty, however, as

There are u number of new designs in

pretty one. 1t starts with a small
ornament at the tip, and above that are
four narrow bands running across the
vamp. Over the ankle is another strap
which fastcns with button. Tho
straps are very fanciful this season;
they cross each other in long Y, some
times, over the ankle, and have beaded
tips. This style is particularly suited
to bronze, for tho narrow strips look
very pretty in this fine material

OF course The material is silk. and the

sometimes flower sprays are scattered

What Il Same it is, now that the time
has come when we may wear these

to think that all suggestion of tainti-

dirty, dusty train. Why so many we'll
dressed women drag themselves about
carclcssly on Il shopping expedition,
clad i'll one of these soilcd garments is
a constant source of wonder and spccu-
lation. Only day or two ago saw
two women go up in crowded car to-

ness, in which respect, no doubt, it has
the advantage over the parasol, which
can never be reduced to such minute
proportions; but, on the other hand.
the parasol is so soft and nimsv, and
when one picks it up closed and runs
ones fingers over the sheer chiffon or
lace of which it may be made, there is n
close intimacy and regard established at
once between beauty and bcauty's adj
mircr. And beauty arrays herself in so
many and SO varied forms. Sometimes she
is all white, pure and spotlcss, of thin,
fine silky crepe, and her only adorn-
ment three full, narrow rufflcs of crepe
that fall softly, one beneath the other;
or perhaps she is of white again, only
of deep, creamy white this time, and
is one mass of putfs from center to edge.
The puffs come to perfectly proper
end under a rutilc of fine lace.
Maybe she feels in u less quiet mood
to-day, and puts on Il blacl; and gold
garb. First, fine chantilly lace goes all
over, and Il deep rutile finishes it Off.
Then over it She puts n large piece of
gold crepe that has n fancy gold stripe
around its edge. This lies right in the
center on top, and is caught down on
each wire. The rufIle of lace she catches
up occasionally in careless fashion,
and holds it there with two golden
loops. Sometimes her white robes ara
all run with the daintiest of white point
insertion, and sometimes immense lace
butterflies sport gnyly among flower
beds wrought in lace.
But, to descend from these heights Of
loneliness to 4 lower realm, let me tell
you of some of the designs in foot gear
that have appeared this season. OF
course lighter feathers will once more
prevail, and of these there is moth
ing softer and more pliable than suede.
1t has the advantage, too, of coming in
so many colors that it is often possible
to get pair of ties just the shade
of your costume. Tics are certainly tho
most convenient thing for ordinary
spring and summer wear. They will
not do for tramping or climbing, but
apart from these, they will answer
almost every purpose. For drcssy occa-
sions the fine ones are just the thing,
and those OF n very stout and service
able make and material can be secured
for other uses.
But above all things avoid CATERS. l

some of his exorbitant bills, he abso.

quest over the body OF a supposed muir
dcred child.
Is this the kind of man we want in
that office? Most assuredly not. There
has been much complaint over the ex-
orbitant bills which Mr.. Cray has
sent into Council. Many people arc
glad that that body has at last called
halt N regard to it.
While Coroner Gray was wasting val
uablo time in writing to Mr.. Hanes the
criminal who is guilty Of the murder,
if one has been committed, has had
plenty of opportunity to escape and
probably by this time is at safe dis
tance from the city That is not right
