to the skirt of a winter tailor gown.
F~ourteen-inch bands are nothing out of
the way, and some women of fashion
affect a sixteen-inch deep band of rich
fur on the skirt. AS yet fur is not used
for the hip trimming of a lady's skirt,
this is still done by braiding or tucks or
rows OF shirring. Marrow bands of Per-
sian lamb follow the lines of a gored
skirt up each seam. Occasionally a
smart skirt shows a narrow border of
fur below the hens.
Fur epaulettes are seen on u jacket,
and collars and revers of fur are as plenty
as blacl1berrfes. Basque tails are border
ed with fur, and Jacket fronts are also
bordered with it. Min heads peep out
eunningly from the drapery of a shoul-
der puff.
The Marie Antoinette is NOT a fichu this
time, but a goodly old~-fashioned barrel
of velvet, softly wadded, lined with satin
and trimmed with frillings, ribbon bows.

and trimmed with fur bands usually of

Where the material renders it possible
it is a good plan to have the evening slip
per made to match the coior OF ones gown.
Where this cannot be done, have your
gloves and shoes to match, Of kid. The
evening shoe is cut very low down over
the instep, not altogether to display the
embroidery supplied to this part of the
stocking. Slippers cut extremely low have
a single strap across to prevent spread
ing across the shoe.
The slippers have rounded toe. but the
design of the beaded embroidery is in the
old razor pointed style once seen in the
shoe itself.

Well dressed men wear buttoned shoes

The lady students of the University of
Melbourne. to the number of sixty, are
evidently among the most emancipated Of
their kind, says the London "Chronicle."
They have formed themselves into a So
cial organization called the Princess Ida
Club and secured the use of a room for
club purposes from the University au-
thorities. But the professor who lectures
next door has made formal complaint
that he is annoyed and disturbed by 1.-THE
games of leap-frog and other un~fenlinine
pastimes' that are practiced by the fol-
lowers OF the mythical Princess. Two
questions suggest themselves. How did
the professor know that the young lady
students were playing leap-frog? And are.
tho members of the Princess Ida Club
disciples of Lady Harberton? Playing
leap-frog in skirts were surely an impos-
sibility.
DOM let the broom get dirty. 1t will

pail of soap suds, or to hold it under the

Shoemakers are now frequently called
upon to fasten two little strips of rubber
across the sole of babies'- shoes at the
ball of the foot. This is done to obviate
the constant tendency to slip back that
attends tho babies initial efforts at learn
ing to walk. Every one who has noticed
a baby taking it's first cratic steps from
chair to chair, slipping back till the little
soles are wcrn almost as smooth as glass,
and has felt his own ankles ache with
sympathy at the strain. will count this
idea worthy general adoption.
