PROPER CARE OF SHOES.
societY PartlcuIar as 10 Footwear

Although small feet have gone out
OF fashion, it is not to be supposed that
feet are not as much thought of as
formerly, or their proper equipment a
matter of as much consideration. As a
matter of fact. shoes and their proper
care are of much greater moment with
fashionable people than ever before.
and women's foOtgear at the present
time forms one of the most important
parts of their attire. A lady's maid
who does not understand the proper
care of her mistress shoes is not up to
date
BY proper care it does not mean sim
ply that they are to be cleaned if mud
dy and a patent dressing put on when
they become shabby. A well-made
shoe should not resort to the latter aid
until it is in extremis. A shoe should
be cared for and polished without var
nlsh for long while before such sticky
aids are necessary With patent
leather, for instance, people who are
particular about their shoes use a GER

sparingly and afterward well polished

Pale tints should be avoided in tha

floor to the tinted half tones of the

Every little while one hears that the

usurped its place, ana the like. Nom
sense! The silk petticoat is as strongly
intrenched in the affections of women
as ever, and the only question is, Can
| afford one," and What kind shall
l have?' Silk petticoats come in the
greatest variety, plain and changea-
bic taffetas, plaids, checks, and bro
cades, trimmed with ruff1e upor ruffle,
or with lace-edged ruffles, or with rib
bons, or cordings. Some of the shops
sell surah petticoats, and the clerks
are lnsistent over the good wearing
quality of these and the soft taffetas
over the rustling taffetas. Doubtless
they do wear better. but as the frou-
frou of taffeta is one of its most desira-
Bile concomitants the woman who gets
soft, noiseless fabric is done out of
part of the fun. Instead of buying
cheap, soft silk, which will give out
as much rustic as cheesecloth,
choose the heaviest, most expensive
tatfeta petticoat you can afford-you
will get satisfaction out of it in pro-
portion to the amount you pay for it.
provided only you put your money into
the material, not into the tiummery
that may be tackled to it. With care
good taffeta underskirt will last at
least year without need of repair.
Surely $40 or $12 is not dear for the
pleasure of handsome petticoat for
that length of time. The woman who
has the heart to wear her lace trimmed
silk petticoat down town in @ rain
storm or January thaw, even if she
can afford to get 1t spoiled, ought to
be condemned to wearing gunny bag
petticoats for the rest of her life!

Red and white, and red, white and
black are combinations almost as popu-

that the red should be used sparingly
for outdoor wear; indoors almost any
union Of colors goes.
Although "wiggles," as the little
wrinkled, wired ribbon ornaments are
called that women have been wearing
in their hair, have been supplanted by
straight butterfly bows, the pompadour
combs and the side combs that have so
long been worn continue in favor These
pretty accessories to the toilet can
hardly be called Injuries any longer. so
necessary have they become to the
modern woman. Real tortoise-sheI is
good enough for most, but you can get
them mounted in gold or silver, or made
entirely of those metals and set with
diamonds and other precious or semi
precious stones.
Alpacas and poplins are much liked
for home and morning street wear A
good Irish poplin is practically hides

be more charming for spring and early
summer wear than a suit of either one

England, where the Princess of Wales
has set and maintained the fashion of

OF patriotism and practical support to
the people of Ireland Her wardrobe
not less than the queens, is said to
contain always one or more gowns OF
this favorite material. As a fact, few
dress goods adopted by women are more
elegant, and probably none is more dur
able.
One of the latest fads is to wear a
broad bit Of soft ribbon around the
neck, fastened in front with a buckle
of as great splendor as the owners

be swathed around the neck and fast
ened in front with the buckle, to form
