THE pONGEE SHOE.

The loveliest bit OF footgear noted
at Atlantic City as yet FOR wear with
q pongee dress is what is called the
pongee shoe. II is q tie with three biz
eyelets on the side and it is so near

men who wear these shoes get the
credit of having had their ties made
from the same material that is used
in their dresses. Upon close exam
ination. however. these dainty ties
turn out not to he pongee at all, but
of fine kid dyed TO the exact shade. Ii
is only upon closest inspection that one
diScerns as much. OF course they are
worn with stockings as perfectly
matched. The effect is admirable

preferable 10 wear white gloves with
