PRETTY FooT-GEAR.
Lace or Fancily Trimmed Slip

Written for The Evening Star
The slipper has at last felt the influence
of the elaborate handwork that has held
woman's fancy all winter. The plain satin
slipper is now a rarity.
The decoration a pair of pink MORE
shoes is representative of the new style
slipper. A small wreath of flowers, the up
per part of which was merely small spray,
was embroidered in ribbon embroidery
through the silk on the instep. The flowers,
perfect in form, but very small were pink
roses with forget-me- nots interspersed and
several of the palest shades of green form
ing the stems and leaves. Just a hint of
brown appeared in the little leaves. The
spray of flowers extended on the sides of
the slipper along the top toward the back
the flowers being small and close set.
A pair of white kid slippers had forget
me-nots worked in ribbon all over them, the
pearls were mingled with the flowers. A
black satin pair was adorned with the wheat
heads and a gold thread cobweb, worked
with single thread. and studded with gold
beads of very small size
Silver, steel, pearl and gold beads are
popular for beading wreaths and small
floral patterns upon silk, satin and kid slip
pers. They are used to dot both fine ma
chine made lace applfques and the fashiona-

that fits entirely over the slipper and is
made by design specially prepared for the
woman who is to wear it.
Nothing is more stylish. however, than the
dainty and exquisite ribbon embroidery in
pompadour coors upon all sorts of silken
shoes and slippers.

Mime. Wong's Wonderful Outfit.

Where is the American heiress who can
boast trousseau of 300 costumes. in which
every stitch has a poetic and symbolic sig
nificance? A wardrobe of this kind is the
possession of Nine. Wong. the wife of the
vice commissioner from China to the ST.
Louis worlds fair.
These wonderful dresses were unpacked
the other day at the Wong residence in St.
Louis. No two of the gowns are alike and
many of them are woven in an entire piece.
The exquisite workmanship on the robes is
beyond the power of description. All are
embroidered in so delicate a fashion that
an artists brush could not have delineated
them more perfectly.
Each flower and emblem worked the
gown of a Chinese woman of rank signifies
some beautiful sentiment. A robe embroid-
cred with plum blossoms speaks of the poe
try of life. The phoenix. with its out
stretched wings, denotes welded happiness.
To the uninitiated eye this wealth of broid-
cry is the perfection of the artists skill,
but to the Chinese husband each sprig and
blossom, bird and butterfly carries its own
message of love.

Sporting Jewelry.

The enterprising jeweler in these days de-
signs his goods to suit times and seasons,
and the early spring heralds an output of
sporting iewelry In the shops. They are
dainty light fanciful ornaments, too, and
women greatly affect them for their riding
sticks or lace ties. This year pheasant
pins are much in vogue for both sexes, also
the inevitable motor car of gold set with
Diamonds. In some instances the wheels
of the car revolve, and the motor is an ex-
act imitation in miniature. Needless to say
that neither as brooches nor pins are they
particularly inexpensive. Croquet malIets
are good deal to the fore, and golf sticks
with pearl balls attached have had long
run of popularity; SO have hockey sticks
hunting crops and so on ad infinitum

The hat pins for the spring tailored hat
should be carefully chosen, for, instead of
being hidden under a mass of lace or tuile
trimming they stand out trenchantly. The

In stones. precious or clever limitations, set
in dull silver, they carry out perfectly the
color scheme of the toque. To the eye of

hat pins in her red hats and pink ones in

Household Hints.

Polished ironwork can be preserved from
rust by an inexpensive mixture made OF
copal varnish mixed with as much olive oil
as will give it a degree of greasiness, and
afterward adding to this mixture as much
spirit of turpentine as of varnish.
Cracks in cooking stove can be salts
factorily filled by a paste made of six parts
common wood ashes to one part table salt,
mixed with cold water. Properly mixed, il
will prove lasting and will take backing.

IMPROVING
Iowa Central Manages to Move
Considerable Freight on
Wednesday
BETTER WEATHER HOPED FOR
If Moderation of Present Cold Snap
Results Officials Think That Embar-
90 Order Will Be Removed-sidinss

The freight situation on the Iowa
Central is improving, and on We'd
nesday more trains We're moved than
at any time within the past two weeks.
and if moderation of the resent
cold snap results within a few days.
Ii is thought that before long the en-
barge order can be removed, and traf-
fic resumed as heretofore. The sid
ings are still full of freight, which
has been standing for days, awaiting
sufficient motive power to move 1t, and
dead freight of all kinds from connects
ing lines, is still being refused.
The situation with the Central Is the
worst known in years. 1t is absolutely
imposs ibis TO catch up with the work

effort 10 get the motive power in
shape. Engines that are in running
order have 10 be overworked. and II
doesn't take long for them 10 be rem
dered unfit for service. Officials are
hoping for warmer weather, and with
it the difficulty will soon be remedied.
for more service can be secured out of
the engines that are in running order,
and more power Will be had from
those that are sent out of the shops.
The lack of sufficient motive power
is costing the company a great deal of
money, and will make a big difference
in earnings. A big loss is sustained
because freight cannot be moved, and
coal bills are excessive in an effort to
get half-crippled locomotives to
steam.
