CLoTu-ToppED SHOES.

High-heeled patent leather shoes,
with snug-ftting broadcloth uppers,
are the footgear of the moment.
Not only the smart women, but the
children, are wearing them. The
yamps are of the softest leather with
rounded toes, and the heels are strictly
Cuban, high and well placed. The
cloth is white, black or checked, and
when there is full purse it matches
the frock.
These shoes are expensive, but they
make the foot look exceedingly well,
and they are in fashion.
They are more shapely than the spat
which can not always be made to pre-
serve the lines of instep and heel. They
are the best, however, for all wear for
rough weather and mornings.
The other shoe, with its snug fitting
upper, is used for all social occasions.
Smart women who wear light gowns
to brilliant afternoon affairs wear these
patent leather shoes with the uppers of
cream -colored broadcloth, fastened
with small cream buttons.-Indianap-

THE DOLL FAIR.

A dolls fair is always of the greatest
interest to children, but it may be no
less charming to grown people if it is
skilfully planned. Indeed, it may be
more than a mere fair, and an admis-
sion fee may be charged that all may
come in, at least to see what it is like.
Booths should be made to represent
the different rooms in dolls house,
and those who serve in them may be
dressed to represent dolls. The first
booth may be the kitchen, hung around
with saucepans, pots and kettles, with
a small range and kitchen table at the
back.
The dining room booth is managed by
some one dressed as a waitress doll,
and about the family table is seated a
group of dolls from father and mother
to the baby. All the doll furniture and
the papier-mache food on the table
may be for sale as well as the dolls.
The third room, the parlOr, has sofas,
tables and chairs. and here are the
most fashionable dolls, men, women
and most beautiful young lady dolls.
Beyond this may be the nursery with
baby dolls being bathed, dressed and
fed, with the cradles, high chairs,
nurse dolls and furniture for sale; and
last there may be the sick room, with
white enameled bedc and cribs and
lovely trained nurse dolls.
Besides these rooms, there may be
booths with doll tableauX; a wedding,
of course; football game with players
in appropriate costume; a golf field
with players and caddies using or car
rying scarf-pin sticks; and tourist par
ties of dolls with suit cases and shawl
straps.-Harper's Bazaar.

THE CHILD'S NURSERY.

The requirement of a nursery or the
place set apart for the children are
such as will promote their growth and
development, the same as are required
by all life, from the lowest organisms
up to the most compleX-light and air.
These are the great requisites of the
nursery. According TO ones circum-
stances space should be given also. If
in the city, the nursery should be high
up above the street. 1t should be Il
kingdom in which the children are the
royal family and the arbiters of the
realm. The place should be so remote
that the children can pursue their play
without disturbing any one or feeling
the curb of adult interference. Open
air nurseries on the roof are to be COM
mended, particularly in large cities
where distances to and from the parks
are great. The indoor nursery should
be bright and sunny. The human
plant, like those in the garden, must
have plenty of sunlight to develop
properly. There should be, therefore,

EVENING HAIRDRESSING.

The evening style In hairdressing Is
what is sometimes known as the court
style. because it is the style required
Sy the court hardresser. The hair is
waved, made glossy with an oil, waved
again and scented and then coiffed
high. 1t is broadest right at the very
top, so that a crown can be set upon
It. or a bandeau, or some other head Or
nament.
There is a distinct art in doing the
crown style of hairdressing, and it is
not every woman who looks well in it.
The hair is dressed very wide and Is
gradually made to widen, If that can
be understood, until at the very top,
where it is widest. 1t is dressed in
tiny low knot, which Is almost hidden
In the undulations Of the hair.
The low style of hairdressing is for
women who need breadth in the lower
part of the face. 1t is becoming to thin
faces and to faces that are a little
past their youth. 1t is the style to
wear with the collarless stock and just
the style to affect if one is going to a
luncheon. There are those who wear
It with low-necked evening dresses, and
it must be admitted that it is very be-
coming. The bare neck is not always
beautiful when viewed from the back.
Keep the hair clean and glossy.
Keep it slightly perfumed.
Keep it unduated, if undulations are
becoming to you.
Keep it always well dressed. A care
less snood is better in poetry than in
reality, and a little knot tossed high on
top of the head may do for Phyllis in
the daisy field, but it will not do for
Aramantha in the drawing ROOM

grill work, high enough and strong

nursery walls should be washed down
at least once month to keep the room
sweet and clean, and only painted
wall will stand such cleaning. The
furniture should be such as is adapted
to the needs of the child. There should

Daniel Webster" "was never noted for

His well-known failings were often
taken advantage of by unscrupulous
creditors, who gave no receipts for paid
bills, simply because they were not de.

this, but it seemed to trouble him very

On one occasion creditor presented
bill which seemed familiar, and

BEAUTY THROUGH SUFFERING

You must suffer to be beautiful, ac-
cording to n French saying. There
seems to be some truth in the state
ment, If a lady's maid in Paris is to be
believed. she has revealed the secrets
of her mistress boudoir, or, rather, tor
ture chamber. The lady herself is now
beautiful, but one wonders that she is
alive. For months she lay fiat on her
back on the floor, motionless, with her
arms close to her side, during several
hours every day. This was, it appears,
to improve her figure. During the rest
of the day, for the same period Of time,
she sat on high stool rocking the
upper part of her body backward and
forward and from side to side unceas-
ingly. BY this process she is said to
have acquired a statusque throat and n
sylph's waist. The lady's nose, having
soaring nature, was corrected and
made Grecian by the constant applica-
tion day and night for months of a
spring bandage. One nOstril was orig
nally larger than the other, so she
wore a small sponge in it for year.
Her cheeks have been filled out and
rounded by injections Of paraffin. Her
ears for months were compressed
against the sides of her head by
springs, while heavy weights were at
tached to the lobes to produce the re-
quircd elongated shape, which has been
