There Is no more sense shown in the slipper
than in any other portion OF the summers
wardrobe. The craze for sensible, heavy.
square shoes has gone back to the English
shores, whence it came forth. Amiable as the
American is and willing to try almost anything.
ridiculous or no, comfortable or no, that comes
from the other shore there is one point from
which We dislike to recede. It is that little,
slender tip Of the pretty Louis Quinze slipper
1t was given up for a while, but again it Is worn
almost universally. The American woman q
foot has grown u \ with the narrow point and
feels out Of place In a broad, heavy boot. She
that steps lightly would fain be also shod
lightly in a pretty. fancy boot Therefore
while We still wear the sensible low heel fol-
ordinary purposes. the Louis Quinze is donned
for house and evening wear.
The shining patent feathers are very much
worn this year; one even sees them on the ten.
mis- shoe. The slipper is worn almost invariably
with the thin ankle strap and with a Slender
tip. The tie is not SO general this year. The
tan laced boot usurps it for summer wear to q
great extent, and the tie is relocated largely to
afternoon wear.
The white canvas ties are very popular with
kid trimmings.

drawn on. 1t has gold band for trimming
cut up in fine points. 1t is worn over q white
silk stocking, prettily embroidered in front

Keeping the House Cool.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Much of the comfort Of the household de-
ponds upon keeping the house cool. In tn,
morning every window and blind should b,
opened, giving the sunlight and air access
After the honse has been thoroughly aired and
put in order the blinds should be closed and
the shades partially drawn. II the windows arc
closed In the hottest part of the day the house
VIII be cooler. As soon the sun begins TO &c
down reopen the blinds and windows. On an
intensely hot day the room Of a sick person can
be made more endursble by having sheets OF
cheese cloth wrung out Of cold water and hung
across the open Window

FIRST is a handsome promenade toilet in figured
foulard shot in prune and copper, with the de-
sign in pale yellow. The skirt Is cut to give
but little fullness at the top, and is lined with
thin silk. The bodice comes over the skirt and
h hooked to the latter to prevent it from slip
ping. 1t fastens in the center beneath the plas-
tron and has revers piped, as is the iaring col
lar, with pale yellow silk. The plastron hooks
over and is trimmed with box pleat down
the center adorned with gold buttons. The
balloon sleeves are also piped with yellow at the
wrists With the costume q round hat Is
worn Of eream-colored fancy straw, with a
slightly tapering crown entirely covered with
tiny blossoms The brim is covered with lace
and a full bow Of cream-coored faille ribbon
through which fancy gold pin is thrust, is
placed at the right side. On the inside of the
brim is a small rosette of ribbon. This hat adds
greatly to the handsome appearance of the gown
and it is evident to any one that the one is es-
pecially intended for wear with the other. The
