NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-LiIlian Russell,
who is justly famous for her beautiful
transparent, shcll-like nails, soaks the tips
of her fingers daily in cod liver oil. Bath
ing in lemon Juice afterward will destroy
any unpleasant odor
One of the silly fads among fashionable
women is 10 have their feet modelled by
scuIpjors. Very few women have Trilby
feet, and what a foot looks like in a shoe

accepted.
Buttons are the most conspicuous trim
ming on the new dresses. Many fashion
able people are having their buttons spe-
cially designed for them. This caprice is
beyond the purse of ordinary people, how
ever, for whom there is variety in agate,
iiligree silver or bronze Even the jewel
ers have taken TO selling buttons. some of
them displaying in their windows costly
tTitles of gold and silver incrusted with
precious stones.
The portrait exhibition at the National
Academy Of Design has given New York
ers generally a closer view of fashions
beauties than many of them have ever had
before. Before the opening there was CON
siderable jealousy among the originals of
the portraits as to where their pictures
should hang. The artists in charge insist
ed that the best works of art should have
the most prominent positions irrespective
of the subjects social position.
The fashionable furs this winter will be
