ALL ABOUT SHOES.
when to Buy Them and How to Take
Care of Them.

Care Ot Them.
Buyers should never go in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. II
1t is remembered that activity and
standing enlarge the feet, and at the
after part of the day they are at their
maximum size, there would not be so
many complaints of shoes being tight,
which at the time of fitting seemed
perfectly comfortable Shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better if kept
for some time before using; and it is
wise to keep several pairs for a week
before wearing them, and several pairs
to alternate with. Never wear a shoe
too small or that does not fit when you
first put it on, for misery more complete
than a shoe that pinches does not ex-
list. A shoe should be washed every now
and then with a wet rag and oiled over
night. In this case fresh application
of backing restores the brilliancy of
the leather A wet shoe must never
be placed too near the fire, for it will
become hard and stiff. The way to save
a shoe that is wet from an early grave
is to wipe ii off and then apply an oil
or cream by means of soft piece of
flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes in
bad weather. Rubbers always spoil
new shoe, Patent feathers should never
be handled until warmed, and they can
be made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by a cloth or by the palm of
the hand, which Is better. If shoes are
washed once a month they will be soft
and imperious to water. Those who
suffer from aching feet should occa-
sionally sponge the insides of their
shoes with a moderately strong solu-
ton of ammonia. The shoes must be
perfectly dry before they are put on.
The way to clean kid boots which will
not bear backing is to roll strip of
flannel four inches wide and a good
yard long into a wad and sew it tight
ly. Dip it into saucer filed with
few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Daub the shoe all over, and, taking
fresh flannel, rub the shoe until it
is dry. BY this means the painful APP
proach of purple and the dreaded white
cracks will be delayed. A fine polish
and one that will make the leather last
longer than the ordinary backing does
will be obtained if the following mix
ture is used: Two ounces of ivory
black, three ounces of molasses and one
pint of vinegar. Mix them together.
and, having also stirred five grains of
sperm oil and six drachns of oil of
vitriol, work all the ingredients to-
gether. Tan shoes should be washed
once week with saddle soap before APP
plying polish, which can be made by
mixing one ounce of muriatic acid, half
an ounce of alum, half an ounce of gum
arabic and half an ounce of spirit of
lavender into one-half pint of sour milk.
Apply with a flannel and polish with
piece of fresh flannel-Chicago Record.

SWELL CYCLING SUIT.
One Ordered for a New York Girl Is
to Cost $715.

One Ordered for n New York Girl Is
to Cost $715.
The most expensive bicycle suit on
record has just been ordered at one of
the SWEETEST tailors in New York
The girl who meets the bill is worth
million in her own right, is an athletic
beauty and reigning belle in the ultra
smart set.
The suit which makes the bin is the
most elaborate ever designed in this
country. 1t is lined with silk, finished
with jewels and will cost a lump sum of
$715.5O
Two scott and Adie" shawls at SIS
apiece will be employed in making the
skirt and jacket, And, by the way
these English shawls are the very latest
thing for any sort of fancy outing suit.
The skirt will be stitched half way
to the knees, with the lines of stitching
not over a sixteenth Of an inch apart;
this is the new device to stiffen the
lower part of the skirt without adding
to the weight
The edges of the jacket are also
stitched, and, together with the skirt,
it is deliberately braided, which latter
touch adds some S25 to the expense.
Bloomers and Innings of suit through
out will be of silk-not less than l6
yards of silk to be used, which gives an
other item of So. so. With the boomers
have been ordered half dozen in
terlining of the finest lawn at $3.50 a
pair.
Loose jackets are no longer the cor
rect thing for the crack bicyclist. The
newest waist is tight-ftting always,

For Baby,s Fellowship.

A pretty arrangement for baby pill
Iowslip is to have the two sides entirely
separate, the edges embroidered in
fancy sca1lops, the lower edge extend
ing beyond the upper edge about twice
as far as the upper edge extends be-
yond the pillow. The way to fasten
this slip to the little pillow is to have
a series of holes in both pieces of linen
so cut as to match each other and fol.
low the exact shape Of the pillow, and
then run narrow pink or blue ribbon
in a pretty bow at each corner of the
pillow. The pillow itself may be COW
cred With pink or blue sateen to match
the ribbon. These pillows are the dain-
test made for the wee cherubs.

The young lady is a musician and a

the strain upon the strength and nervous
energy OF the pianist can be easily imagined.

GETTING TO WORK.
WorthIessness of a Plum Not Put Into
Execution.

WorthIessness of a Plum Not Put Into
Execution.
We cannot expect to be estimated
solely according to our intentions. One
cannot safely estimate himself by what
he intends to do. A thousand of the
best intentions viii amount to nothing
unless accompanied by some actual
doing. One act rescued and set ON its
feet out of the Land of dreamy inten.
lions is worth more than all the perfect
dreams which never become more than
dreams. Perfect dreaming will not
make perfect work Only working will
do that. There is point beyond which
all farther preparation in the way Of
thinking q thing over is ueseless, and
at that point the only farther prepare
ton worth speaking Of is actually set
ting TO work A touch of firmness and
reality which nothing else can give, is
is impaired TO all the rest of man g
intentions when he definitely sets
about the accomplishment Of long
cherished purpose. Something quite
new enters into his hand and his heart
when he gets to work II never cu1nez
before.-S. S. Times.

SN ELL "a CLING SUIT.
(This Outfit Represents an Outlay of s715)
and worn with series of vests and
shirt fronts.
1t sounds very simple just to say: 81
shall order at least three vests for my
new bicycle suit doesn't it? Well,
that is what the ''millionairess" in
question did, and these three vests are
going to cost $25 apiece The principal
color in her suit is green, so she has or
dered one vest of sage green, one of
geranium red, embroidered in black and
gold, and one of white broadcloth, en-
she will wear snow-white linen shirt
fronts and black satin ties.
And $25 is not so very extravagant for
a vest, when you stop to consider that
the garment is made when the material
is wet and has to be nodded to the
figure.
Panama straw hat, fawn color and
trimmed with scarlet and green, will
add one $40 item, and bicycle boots of
finest leather will add another of SIS.
Golf stockings in mixed greens and
tans win be worn in place of the high
top boot. An entire box of these stock
ings has been ordered, as it is difficult
to match them exactly, Fifteen dollars
a half dozen will buy the softest and
best in the.shops
But the browning extravaganza of
this particular hiking" maid is yet TO
come. Her belt of elephant green leath
err is clasped with buckle of oxidized
silver set with emeralds. The buckle
is in the form of two bicycle wheels; the
rim of each wheel is bordered with
small green stones, large single EN-
crald forming the hub. This trihing
decoration to adorn the slender waist"
of the pretty wheelwoman will cost
treble the price Of her wheel; that is to
say, exactly soon. Y. Sunday Jour
