The Sandal Idea.
The sandal idea is in great favor for
boudoir wear. These are desirable for
Grecian costumes, and numerous de-
signs are shown in the arrangement of
ribbons. A preference is had for loose
ribbons which leave an opportunity of
changing the effect as desired.
Fur trimmed Juliets are always pop

on the same plan is shown in laced
design with ribbons attached, which
are fastened around large buttons in

SIDEB0ARD
ONCE MORE In
FASHIONS FAVOR

After the sideboard has been ban
ished from fashionable dining rooms
for several years, it Is to return to
favor, and the low buffet that took
it's place is to be retired.
In small families the buffet answers
all needs, but in large households.
where there is much entertaining, it
is inconvenient. At breakfast time
the maid or butler must prepare the
coffee or boil the eggs there. Most
families nowadays have a coffee-mak-
ing machine, and the serving of eggs
direct from the fire is an innovation
from English households. At lunch
time the cold roast joint must be
served from the sideboard. and at
dinner time the wine or dessert, so
the butler requires space for his oper-
ations. In families that make small
claim to elegance, the sideboard is a
convenient place on which to leave
dishes when rapid change in courses
is to be made.
Mahogany oak and walnut are the
woods generally used in the making
of khe new dining room furniture.
Formerly IL was correct to have a
matched set for the dining room.
This is no longer the rule. If all the
furniture is of the same kind of wood,
wide latitude is permitted in the Sc
lection of the various pieces. The
new sideboards are low and narrow,
and have simple cabinet in which
mirror is set. Drawers and cupboards
are provided for the silver and the
linen, and these are divided into con-
venient compartments.
The dresser will probably take the
place of the sideboard in some fami-
lies. for IL has the advantages of the
latter and the oonveniences of cab
net Dressers may be classed among
the specimens of furniture so old that
they are practically new to the pres
ent generation. Until recently they
have not been seen outside collections
of antique furniture.
A handsome dresser of weathered
oak is made with a cabinet in three
compartments. The lower one has a
long plate rack and contains hooks
for cups. The second tier consists Of
a central glass cupboard for special
pieces of china. Other arches are
also designed for the reception OF
china. The body of the dresser is
raised six inches from the floor on
carved supports. One end of the
body is portioned off as receptacle
for silverware. The other end contains
three drawers in which linen may be
stored. The handles of the drawers
and the hinges and locks of the cup
boards are of oxidized metal.
Antique sideboards decorated with
inlay or intarsfa as it is called, are
novelties. Intarsia is a new feature
of furniture decoration, or rather an
obsolete form which is being revived.
1t may be seen on late specimens of
the more expensive furniture, such as
q rosewood bOudOir set
Inlay is to wood what mosaic work
is to marble and glass. Sometimes the
inlays are known as marquetry when
tortoise shell, ebony, mother-of- pearl
and shells are used. The designs in

OF course, that other couple wore their

"And their understudies can do no
less" laughed the doctor.
They drove along the winding roads
to the little house among the hills. The
doctor refined up the horse in the little
driveway.

and they flew down the drive into
the roadway. Down the little hill
they sped, the doctor urging the horse
into a breakneck run. When they
reached a little hollow he turned to

Miss Golden nodded.
"Once," said he. "a very pretty girl

And this the doctor proceeded to do.
He told the story well, giving color to
every little detail. Miss Golden lis

The most noticeable thing about
this seasons slippers are the orna-
ments employed in embellishing them.
plain, pale blue satin slipper, for
instance, has a blue chiffon rosette, in
the heart of which is fastened a glis-
tening fluer de lis rhinestone buckle.
Another one has a butterfly bow of
the same material with a rhinestone
ornament to keep it in position. By
gas or electric light these pretty little
stone look like fireflies
Immense tulle chous are also favor
lite adornments for the evening slip
per, as are also ribbon flowers and
buckles. A pink satin slipper had a
large pink ribbon rose with a yellow
center on each toe.
Gold and silver cloth and tinsel but
terfiies look pretty on the dainty slip
per. The ultra fashionable slipper is
bejeweled in every conceivable design.
A gray suede, for instance. is en-
broidered solid with rhinestones in an
artistic floral pattern. Buttons, too,
are popular feature of decoration,
and are seen in unique designs.
There is an eXtravagant tendency
along this line in the use of canoes
and miniatures for fastenings.
The black suede slipper has taken
the place of the patent leather to a
great extent. One of the handsomest
designs seen showed a lavender heel
and an immense lavender velvet bow,
fastened with a rhinestone buckle.
Plain blacks are also seen, with
black velvet bows. This style has a
tendency to make the feet appear
smaller than they really are, which
recomemnds them to the woman
whose feet are large.
