shoes. Stockings and Gloves.

Shoes, stockings and gloves are trifies in their way; but. nevertheless, they are most important matter in tho fit ting and finishing of woman's s gown ing, be 1t simple or elaborate. To be trimly and neatly shod ard glQved, with a plain, well made costume, is infinitely better and moro attractive than to be- hold an elegantly attired woman in dull, half worn footwear and dingy, ill fitting gloves, The biarritz glove with out buttons is 6 very comfortable one for everyday uses. It is chosen, as a rule, size larger than other gants, and having m hutfnns is easily adjusted and removed. The four button glace kid and mQusqnetlire are preferred for wear with pretty afternoon costumes, and the suede mousquataire in the varying tan shades is reserved for more dressy uses. Soft but heavy dogskin gloves aro most worn by cyelers. Dark shades of fine quality silk gloves will be worn by many fashionable women as long as the weather permits, and not few women who dislike the confinement of heavier glove of either kid or fine wool wear them after the season Is decidedly win- try depending upon tho depths of the fur mulf for warmth. For wear with handsome gowns tho puro white glove with foar buttons and stitched with black IS still in vogue. This is . rather expensive inode, for tho gloves must be immaculate, ard tho cleaner is get al ways successful in his treatment of an all white glove
 It is g pleasure to chronicle tho fact that tho tOOthmck toed shoos have had their day Tho newer toes arc not as exaggeratedly absurdly pointed, but tho heels arc higher--tho lesser, however, of two evils. The prettiest slippers for homo wear are of French kid of the fin est, softest quality, low cut, with mo- alum heel and with no fripperies in tha way of bead embroidery or rIosettes--the evening slipper in either low cut, euekled style of glace or suede kid for ordinary occasions or made to order of q piece of dress goods matching the gown ii for full dress wear.
 The shops are displaying some lovely things in stockings decorated with em- DFQldory. fancy weaving or lace inser. tlons, Exquisite colors in tinted silk are shown in cameo, peachblow and tea rose, cell and turquoise blue, pinkish mauye and parma violet, light green, silver gray and palo yellow, but except for occasions whore elegant white toilets are worn nine women of fine tastes out ot dozen. choose fast dye black silk hose in preference to all the fancy varie. ties ill market.
