The New Slipper.
Dressmakers who get inside informa-

that carries conviction, but we should
not anticipate our fall shopping and
modistes. Sufficient unto today are
the interests and vagaries thereof, and
a word may be said appropriately of
the new dancink slipper and the smart
afternoon tie. The slipper is a pretty
little thing, modelled exactly on the
shape of a mans dancing pump, with
the difference only that the black satin
or patent leather lady's shoe, prettily
entitled the countess, has one strap
over the instep. This comfortable
sandal-like affair has come over from
England simultaneously with the bal.

HOW TO WALK UPSTAIRS.
Woman Who Goes UP With Spring
Is No Philosopher.

A physician who declared that few
people know how to walk upstairs
properly was asked to describe how it
should be done. He said: Usually a
person will tread on the ball of his
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome and wearing on the muscles,
as il throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should, in walk
ing or climbing stairs, seek for the
most equal distribution of the bodys
weight possible.
In walking upstairs your feet should
be placed squarely down on the step,
heel and all. and then the work should
be performed slowly and deliberately.
In this way there is no strain upon
any particular muscle, but each one is
doing it's duty in a natural manner.
The woman who goes upstairs with a
spring is no philosopher. or at least
she is not making proper use of her
reasoning faculties. The habit. too, of
bending over half double when ascend
ing a flight of stairs is exceedingly rep
rehensible. In any eXertion of this
kind. when the heart is naturally ex-
cited to a more rapid action, it is de-
sirable that the lungs should have full
play. The crouching position interferes
with their action, the blood is imper-
fectly aerated- and there Is trouble at
once. Give the lungs a chance to
do their work everywhere and at all
times.

hold their position. while they take
from them their corner. Many entan-
clements and complications are brought
about from the fact that the players
are tied together; and sometimes they
are very comical. A man, who perhaps
has had severe training at football,
watches his opportunity and urges his
partner to cross with him. Indeed. he
cannot so without her. The moment is
propitious, and the goal almost reached,
when a Juggling at his arm indicates
that his fair partner has mysteriously
come to grief. She has, like Cinderella,
dropped her high-heeled slipper. In
such an emergency, it is to be sincere

in the center to catch her heel in one
of the many rucnings of her long, en-
twining skirt.

the fewest number of times are award
ed with prizes. A black star on the
score card is used to indicate the cen
ter. 1t is regarded as the best taste to
have the prizes simple in character
and humorous.
Refreshments are finally served at
small tables on the lawn, or veranda;
if the latter is spacious enough it is
really pleasanter for the purpose. A
salad and dainty sandwiches, an ice.
fruit and some trifie, are, with light
champagne or claret punch. about the
regulation things for such a party.
This. however. is matter of taste, and
there is no doubt but that whatever the
hostess might provide would be ac-
ceptable; for the appetite becomes

Necktie Ideas.
We are in process OF varying our
shirt waist career with an endless pro-
cession of necktie ideas. some of which
are pretty enough TO be carried over
into the autumn and used as light
touches ON our somber wooden frocks.
For instance. numbers of women wear
high straight stocks with their white
skirts, and round the bare stock wind
twice a length of cream molines net.
While on the second winding the net
is brought back to the front, instead
of fastening it's lace trimmed ends in a
big bow close beneath the chin, they are
brought down to a point midway be-
tween throat and waist, there pinned
with a bright brooch and tied in bow.
Bv so simple scheme, to the plain
est silk or muslin an air of sweet orna-
mentation is given hard to derive by as
inexpensive means.
Another noble Invention is that of
passing broad satin ribbon of soft
texture twice around the high collar.
