The San Francisco call., 1903-12-13

Irish lace shows rose with it's leaves.
surrounded by shamrocks and thistIes.
All are small and very beautiful in de-
tail.
So great will be the fancy for lace =
of every kind that the woman who is
desirous of looking nice next year will
certainly pay weekly visits to the bar
gain counter In order that she may
take advantage OF any and every op-
portunity that may be offered.
Row She Will Lock.
The woman of 1904 viii be pleasing.
picturesque, yet withal feminine You
will catch a glimpse Of her. frst.i
through her waving plume, for
she is a little like the Gains
borough lady in that. from her
headgear, there waves a feather.
Her hat will not be OF the set cut-and-
dried conventional type, but viii be
adapted to her own personality. The
woman who can wear It viii dash along
in a hat whose plume sets her on and
seems a part OF her.
The hat plume. according to the very
latest standards of fashion. should not
exactly match the hat, but should con-
trast with It. Upon black hat there
can be a white plume. and upon
white hat a plume OF black shows of
best. Contrast is allowed in making
the selection, and the hat which is
tastefully chosen and which shows
great deal of contrast is the one that
is the best Of all from Dame Fashions
point Of view.
Select your clothing so that 1t will en-
hance your own natural charm. This
will be the motto in dress for the wom-
an Of 1904
The shoes for 1904 will be as remark
able as It is possible for conventional
shoes to be. Though they are far from
being fashy, they are noticeable in
many respects, the most prominent of
which is the height Of the heel
The girl Of 1904 viii go mincing
through the drawing-rooms for 1t will
not be possible for her to walk In any
other manner. Upon high heels, which
are yeritable stills, she will perch
xvb,Ia her toes will nestle down into the
toes Of pointed shoes that are exquis-
iteIv embroidered with pearls. White
shoes. bronze shoes and satin shoes
of all colors are trimmed for evening
with little trimmings which set on their
sttrsetiveness a hundredfold. Upon
the instep Of slipper Of black satin
there is traced a little ribbon embroid-
erv IN pale bronze; and on the toe OF
the bronze slipper there Is a little or
nament In the shape OF silvered hg-
ure surrounded by worked leaves.
Slippers That Are to Come.
And there Is another type OF slipper
which will be fashionable. It is quits
different from the embroidered type,
though 1t has a very high heel This
slipper is the Priscilla slipper. made Of
suede or Of glazed kid, but made as
plain as possible. The Priscilla instep.
high and broad with the wide leather
tongue rising over the insteD, are feat
ures Of this kind OF shoe.
It Is trimmed with a wide buckle
which closely resembles a belt buckle.
This NAV be made OF steel OF It may
be made of gold. Indeed, 1t can be
fashioned Of any material Of which ths
belt buckle is made. And its place IS
upon the instep Of the slipper, where 1t
makes a glistening spot. bringing ths
foot into pretty prominence
One Of these buckles Is In cut steel.
It is very wide and quite tall and it IS
set on the instep OF a pair Of dull black
kid slippers, the heels OF which are at
least two inches tall and maybe taller
The stockings with these slippers are
black silk, and they are inset with
bands OF white lace. which reach from
the foot upward. These bands Of lace
are Of delicate texture and each one IS
embroidered in colors. The embroidery
is as fine as though the stockings were
TO be continually on view. instead OF
merely peeping out above the slipper
top.
And. by the way. the reign Of the IAN

b The new hose are res0lendent IN en-

K HE for their fneness OF texture In
