she sees a mans eye fastened upon it?'
asked someone the other day. Nobody
volunteered him any Information on the
subject. Nobody told him that such was
the fact only under certain circumstances.
Given a well-shaped foot, covered with a
trim, pretty boot and you will find a
maiden not so demure and anxious that
the pretty boot be hid from admiring
eyes. 1t is the shoe that has seen a few
weeks wear, that is marked with wrin-
kles, that is perhaps a trife gray with
dust, that modestly and quickly with

when it seems an eye directed toward it

laxen in their gait we can truly say of
any that pass our doors. 1t is when we
grow tired after the shopping ordeal, and

weight on the heel.
The day of common sense, so-called, in
the shoes shape, has spent itself. To
the believer in common-sense shoes, the
sharpness of the fashionable point would
cause no little pain. And yet 1 believe
there are more women that find the
sharp toes comfortable, than the ugly.
broad tips that disgraced our feet a few
years ago. The new shape is amply wide

jects beyond the length. of the foot. so
that there need be no uncomfortable
crowding. The raiser tip which is one
of the sharp points-a tip made firm and
stiff-prevents the front from falling in
and assuming fine, untidy wrinkles, be-
sides insuring the patent leather against
cracking.
The daintiest slipper for dress occa-
sions is the high, long vamped patent
leather, with the Y strap, so-called from
the cut of the strap. 1t is all of the shin
ing leather, trimmed with a modest
buckle.
For afternoons and receptions there is
a neat, three-buttoned shoe, with patent
leather front and cloth back; and the
patent leather W it'll dark blue canI a
tops, are very fashionable A dainty boot
to wear with the white, or the black and
white gown, is the Congress gaiter, made
of the softest kid, stitched with white,
and with patent leather tip. An open de-
sign is cut in the tip, and white kid shows
beneath. A row of white buttons, set
closely, runs up the side.
| The Russian calf continues in favor for
general wear, as it cleans so nicely and is
cool to the feet. 1t is rivaled by the
oxide kid, of lighter and more fashionable
tan, which assumes a darker and richer
tint with each cleaning.

long as the white costume is worn ; and
the styles in white are very much the
same as those of last summer. White
canvas, with tip of the same, makes a
comfortable shoe forImorning wear; for
afternoons trimmings of kid are seen, if
not the all kid tie. Others are trimmed
with tan. Tennis shoes are in white with
| tan trimmings IN tan or in black.
The taste in stockings has grown
quieter Blocks and squares and polka
dots are worn but little, and the plain
color, with narrow lace stripe, is oftener
seen. Some pretty ones have wide lace
stripes, and narrower stripes between
that are run with baby ribbon in a light
| shade.
The craze, among daring summer
spirits, runs to extremeties. and the
| pretty limb is often encased in a rich,
glowing crimson, or even brighter scar
let. But it is only the danc1ug girl that
is brave enough to don these.
THE LATEST IN GLOVES.
White is the shade of the fashionable
summer glove. For ordinary wear, the
white chamois six-button glove is worn
