ing. A novelty in walking boots are
those made entirely from kangaroo hide,
either to lace or button. The great ad-
vantage Of the lies in the fact
that they can he ned all over with
out injury to tht leather, while their
durability is wonderful They are neat
and trim on the foot too.
The usual oxford shoes in backing
leather, with either square % pointed
toe caps, are for general use in bad
weather. There are also very neat boots
in glace hid, goloshed with patent
leather and made suitable for compara-
lively rough Wear by very strong double
soles, which add immensely 10 the du-
rability and comfort Of the boots without
taking away from their appearance
Walking shoes made entirely of patent
leather have been prepared for smarter
occasions. while any number OF novel
ties have been brought out i'll the nut
brown calf and glace kid.
Among novelties in shoes for wearing
indoors are house shoes Of green moroc-
co, which are charmingly worn with
judiciously selected stockings and skirts
of a harmonious or contrasting shade.
Red morocco shoes embroidered with
fine jet are also counted with dainty
house shoes Some of the new shoes are
after the order of the Louis XIV period,
with the heel Worn at that date and
opening at the side of the instep. There
is the fold flap shoe of the Mother Hub.
bard order, with folding flap made in
glace kid.
As to the evening shoes, their name
is legion and their designs and color
ings are practically unlimited, as, in
the majority Of cases. they are specially
made to match the gowns of brocade or
satin with which they will be worn.
Satin shoes, both colored and black, in
court shape are first favorites a full
rosette of baby ribbon makes pretty
trimming for satin dance shoes for girls,
while for the young married women
and the matrons, who indulge in more
elaborate evening toilets, there are
charming shoes in colored satin with
jeweled embroideries These look par
ticularly well in emerald green, sap
phire blue or even in tones of mauve
and pale yellow. The bronze shoes en-

broidered with jewels are delightful,
too, whether the stones are pale green,
pale lilac or pale pink. In each instance
the shoes are lined with green, lilac or
pale pink satin, matching exactly the
color of the jeweled embroideries.
Care must be exercised in the selec-
ton of stockings, for in perfect suita-
bility lies the great secret of success.
The costly silk hosiery of cobweb fine
ness, with its delicate lace openwork
or its exquisite floral embroideries, must
never make acquaintance even with the
smartest of walking shoes, but must be
kept exclusively for the evening. Stock
ings in very fine cashmere or in plain
spun silk are best for ordinary occa-
sions, the colors chosen carefully to
harmonic not only with gowns and
their silk Innings, but with shoes and
underskirts. There must be no discord-
ant note anywhere, or the whole har-
mony of effect will be spoiled For
wearing with tailor made tweed gowns
there is appropriate hosiery in black
ruled with narrow lines of color. Nlry
dainty for evening wear are black silk
stockings daintily embroidered on thu
instep in colOrs. Plain white stockings
should be worn with white shoes. Silk
stockings, with openwork and lace in
steps, are in order for dressy costumes.

1t is a strange thing how people will
put away an opportunity until too late;
it's only little things that go to make
up our every day existence; the trouble
is We don't pay sufficient attention to
them. "A wink to the wise may be suf-
ticient," but sometimes we don't get that
wink, and We are not all wise. Now, for
instance: Backache is little thing.
Sometimes it comes after a hard days
work, or a slight cold. 1t will pass off,
you say; it's only the result of overtax-
ing my back. This is where you are
but your kidneys. The eXertion or
straining has interfered with their deli
cate mechanism. You call it backache,
but it really is kidney ache. If the kid
neys are not relieved, chronic disorders
set in, and this is W here the 'little thing
should not be passed over A Boston
man has learned to appreciate what de-
lay means. We refer to j. II. Matthews,
who resides at No. a Garland street. This
is how he speaks about it: Some eight
years ago l had bad fall which rendered
my back lame and sore. l was not sur
prised at this, as my accident was bad
one. but as time went on my back did not
appear to improve and l wondered at it

LESSON IN CARVING.
HOW AN EXPERT CUTS UP \
JOINT OF A BIRD.
A SCIENCE NOT WELL. ENOUGH UNDER
STOOD BY MANY WHO HAVE TO
PRACTICE IT.

The scientific carving of the meats, fowl
and game, ROW embraced by the menus of
ell well appointed establishments, has
come to require nearly as much thought
ard anxiety on the part of the careful
housokeeper Us was formerly given to the
work of that all important functonary
| the cLef. Having this fact in mind, a re-
porter called on Fred c. Brandes, the ex-
| pert carver of the Hoffman cafe in Beaver
street, who kindly pl.ced the following di-
rections for carving ut the disposal of the
lady readers Of this paper:
Many ladies have To carve for large fam
lilies without any or very little experience,
and a little advice from an expert carver
will not come amiss 1t should be borne
In mind, first of all, that carving is quite
an art, If done in the right way. Many
think If they ,ut ~ ieint or bird up in
pieces that it is all taat is required, but TO
carve neatly, artistically and economically
and place invitingly on tile platter or dish
is quite another thing.
In the first lace the carver should be
seated high enough to carve comfortably
and with CELEBRITY. The next thing, she
should lie sure to have her platter large
enough to hold the entire bird when it is
carved, So that no portion of IL falls on the
table. No string or skewer should be left
in the meat ur bird when brought to Ia
bic, unless it is a silver skewor, which is
permissible Much depends upon the way
in when the Wand to be carved is placed
on the platter
Large binds, such as turkeys, geese, etc,
should have their heads placed always to
the left. Smaller birds, rs partridge
grouse, etc. which are usually placed
across tie platter, should have their heads
on the farther side a saddle of mutton
should he placed with the tail end to the
