C0rdinEs OF the shirred variety can
be mentioned as one form OF q cheap,
pretty trimming. With a yard Of white
satin cut on the bias one can make q
great quantity of shirred cOrding. Let
the cords vary IN size and use them
IN different ways on the skirt.
A woman who is noted for her taste
in dress obtained a really handsome ef-
feet By taking two yards Of celery
green satin. which she cut into narrow
stripes and used for shir-ed cordlugs.
One very large cord headed the deep
douuce on her skirt. 4 smaller Cordiug
outlined a band of lace insertion. and
stul more cordiugs trimmed the waist
The result was remarkably pretty and
cost comparatively little.
Fold trimmings are Inexpensive and
very pretty, and there is such a variety
of folds that one need not fear mo-
uotony. There are all kinds Of folds,
from the tiny fold which IS called piping
20 the wide fold which is box plated
ard stitcI d around the skirt as a trim
ming. One can get up some remarlza-
bly, handsome trimmings i'm this manner.
And there are other trimmings. The
fashion OF cutting out roses of lace and
applying them 10 the gown has not gone
out But the lace roses must be some

with them
And speaking Of cheap trimmings re-

WHO desired gown at a very low price.

bought Tor 8 cents each, very nearly
as large as the palm OF your hand, and
with cents worth OF dye she dyed them

EJon had been trimmed with the brown
medalious the suit was very smart
And, SO, again, necessity was the
mother OF invention.

A few years ago when a woman want
ed her shoes polished she rubbed them
over with a liquid polish out of a square
bottle. The little sponge attached 20 the
cork of the bottle was too small, and
the liquid usually caused the leather TO
crack, but no one objected seriously.
Finally &c occurred 20 some one thai
v0meu's shoes. being composed of the
same material as mems, might be pol
ished after the same manner. Perhaps
that happened about the time when good
calf shoes superseded thin French kids
for street wear AS general as the GUS
tom has become. there are surprisingly
few places where women may have
their shoes attended 10. The larger shoe
stores and some department stores have
bOOtblaCks who are kept very busy, in
deed. In the womeu's waiting rooms of
city railroad stations there are stands
and If a woman does not object 10 the
publicity of the thing she may bee shined

feTrybOdts. SinguIariy enough there is
only one place i'm New York exclusively
