NEW FIELD FOR WOMEN.
II Is shoe Stretching and l. Not Of Flow cry
Ease for Those who Try II.

When the woman said she wanted a pair ef
shoes the hollow-eyed clerk did not ask, What
size. madam but said. instead, New or
secondhand"
The woman he-itated. not quite grasping the
significance Of tho question why. new, of
course, she said at length.
The reason | asked. i" said the clerk, was
that we have several pairs OF shoes of different
sizes that have been worn little, Just enough
TO stretch them, and ! didn't know but that you
would like a pair that your feet would slip
right into and that you'd never have any
trouble with.
The woman's interest had plainly got started
by that time Have you any snch?'' she asked
"A few pairs, a. just said" replied the
clerk. They have been worn long enough by
professional shoe stretohers to take the stiffness
and newness away We are thinking Of making
these stretched shoes a permanent and promi-
nent feature of our stock Why. do you know"
he continued with increased earncstness; III

body who has ever endured the torment Incl

II will certainly be a good investment. for
patrons will buy shoes oftener when the horror
OF setting them has been removed, and thus
more money will accrue to the dealer. Shoe

either black or white stitching.
A very pretty feature Of the latest skirts
Is the elaborate use OF open work, Cross-stitch-
ing, joining groups of vertical tucking down
TO the hem. which is also attached in the same
manner. Thus a skirt may have a very simple
effect and embody a great amount of labor.
The sun plated skirt has appeared again made Of
black crepe de chine cut ont in points around
the hem where IL falls over a shaped tlOunce of
black taieta striped around with black velvet
ribbon. Tho aane plating is used for the bodice

panding toward the bust and giving a very
slender appearance 10 the waist. Flounced

the new fashions. The fiounCes are sewn ON

are the white plQut skirts deliberately trimmed

So much talk about a new style OF couture
ought TO bring -ome results. Certainly the
stuffed pompadour has lost every title TO dis

spect. At least that is the rumor, The reality
is yet to materialize. One pleasing evidence
Of simplicity is the waning popularity OF the
glittering palette, which means that the SHIN
mering gowns, covered from neck to hem with

are never in good taste except in a spectacular
