Still another woman has her surname's
initial STAMPED into the double thick,
dull finished white sheet, where it looks
exactly like the sharp cut impression OF
a seal. This style Of or-namentation was
very extensively used, and initial note
paper was exceedingly fashionable about
a quarter century ago. 1t has been COM
pietely '.eut'' for some two decades, and
yet its persistent usage by this one OBJ
stinate person, who is a parsonage. gives
her correspondence a distinction that
is pleasing in itself.
The coat Of arms. when one possesses
such a thing, is always a fine finish to a
sheet of Irish linen. when the device is
executed in dull red or green and there
Is no hint of gaudiness in its appearance
where it is bound to be more or less
striking.
These are a few of the many ways in
which the would-be original may make
even their letters partake of their in
dividuality in the same way as though
in q less degree than the letters con-
tents. Since the aim of the moment,
on every hand. is to strive for peculiar
ity, the desk must, so to speak, fall into
line and proclaim in the same distinct
but always low tone as that used by
dress, and home, and mind and manner:

minds to show their feet this winter there
is q certain subdued excitement apparent
about foot gear that hints of a revolution.
1t is not given to everyone to nave a
pretty foot, and if all the feminine
world must display its boots before long
there will not even be the semi-refuge
OF a trouser-leg to cover half of the de-
fects; but no matter how ehary Nature
has been in regard TO size, width n
general conformation. it is always possible
TO make a foot that is not deformed at
least presentable. A few rules conscien-
tiously observed viii make any man or
woman a weli-shod biped if they cannot
do more, and these rules are very simple.
First, a shoe hould always be long

second, it should be wide enough to ac-
commodate comfortably all parts of the
feet without allowing any aggressive sec
ton to show itself or to grow by irrita-
ton; thirdly. 1t should be buttoned or
lacel faultlessiy-that is, such a thing as
. missing button or a mended lace should
be counted as impossible as a torn stock
ing or mended veil; and lastly, the heels
should never be allowed to even hint at
a slope, which carries Disagreement in its
most indistinct outline.
Constant attention to all these little
things viii enable the most timid woman
to walk about anywhere with a serenely
placid air; forgetfulness or neglect of any
one of them will make the bravest one
flush and sigh for a lodge in some vast
wilderness" when she feels that the all
seeing eyes of the modern world are upon
her.
Just at present 1t seems necessary to
have something fresh with which to finish
the season, and nothing supplies the want
better than a new bodice or two. The
chief difficulty consists In making a choice
so great is the variety of styles.
Boleros ara very useful for this pur-
pose Many Of these jackets are covered
with elaborate embroidery and some are
made of rich brocade trimmed with pom
derous pa~ssementerie. but the majority
OF them are lace, In a more or less pro-
nonnced tone of yellow or string color.
They range in texture from the finest
lace, which reveals a lining of brilliant
coiored silk, to the richness of the coars-

They are often cut in a series of seal
