IT may not be amiss here, says the
Shoe Trade Journal" TO look over some
OF the methods, in detail, BY which the
retention of old customers is best secured,
ard this viii also apply to the gaining Of
new ones. It is unquestionabiy true that
much unpleasantnes has occurred in the
shoe store over the matter of sizes, par
ticularly with feminine customers. Their
natural sensitiveness on this subject has
always been met with fair degree Of
successful treatment by the tactful sales
man; While. on the other hand, the tact
ful clerk has usually made mess of il.
Any salesman of experience can usually
evsade that leading and unpleasant aues-
ton. What size do you wear?" by lit
tie strategy He looks narrowly at the
shod foot and brings two pairs of the
desired kind of shoes. just. one size apart
from each other.
After the old shoe is removed and the
foot placed upon the rest. he again mem
tally sizes it up, and he is now ready for
business. He will aim to place shoe
on the foot of this sensitive woman at
least onc-half size too large. which Of
course gives him vantage ground. Nest
women are more ready to come down to
a fun size than go up half size "Ah.''
he remarks pleasantly. 81 was slightly
deceived. you don't require SO large a
shoe as that. Let me fit this one on. =
Here he scores point. OF course, there
are other unteachable things connected
with this delicate proceeding, such as the
possibility of her asking the size which
he has fitted her to so deftly Now, in
these emergencies the expert salesman is
always alert. and often velubly evasive
or frustrating in his remarks.
Dear Girls, when you go driving IN the
suburbs in your smart little cart. and W tn
your groom sitting behind with careful y
folded arms. do not wear your golf red
cloth jacket, even II your hair is beauti-
FIJI golden yellow. Exclusive women and
girls who are carefully dressed by Lon
dom tai1ors relinquish 'golf red" and
even brilliant golf green coats on the
links, and do not wear them in public
elsewhere because they are becoming a
little too common. 1t is 80 easy to vul-
garize any extreme fashion, and too much
popularity is fatal to the distinction Of
any mode. Granted that brilliant scarlet
is wonderfully becoming to a blonde, and
sets off fair hair "a merveille.
red coat is no longer smart gar
ment One pretty Blonde can wear her
scarlet blouse indoors, but it is better to
forego the use of brightest red out of
doors. Very little children wear scarlet
Goa tsfor walking, but the color Is row
being eschewed for outdoor use by their
elders. Golfng men still come to break
fast In their s-pinks'' at the s'Waumhek, :"
and Southern goifing hotels, but ladies'
prefer more sober tints for their jackets,
on the links or off them, in driving and
walking.
Violently red felt hats are worn by
children, alike by little boys and girls,
but once in their 'teene" the maidens do
well to re.inquish the use Of scarlet felt
hats. Black and white, castor. beige,
khaki, chestnut brown or gray felt is a
better choice for our little maids felt
hat.

soft white mousseliae de sole, with cou-

folds from the waist. The panne folds in
wide Vatican at the back with volum-

to show hanging sleeves OF the white
mousseline, and the junction of the panne
and the white bodice Is outlined with mar
