Helpful Hints on What to Wear and
How to Wear II.

the seasons gowns, from gingham to
silk mousseline, and the fashion is a
becoming one.
-Petticoats of soft finish taffeta with
multitudinous plaitings or flouncings
are always in order with the street
frock and wear much better than the
stiff taffeta petticoat ever did, but
these soft taffeta petticoats, II SKIM
py, offer little support for the skirt
bottom. Occasionally a dust ruffle Of
some stiff, firm stuff Is set under the
ruff1es Of soft silk, and this Is q good
expedient where ample silk flounc-
ings are too expensive. Pretty petit
coats, not high in price, are made
from the checked taffetas in white and
color, and the tartan plaids are favor
lite materials for petticoats.
- Matching shoes to costumes Is
more general than 1t has ever been
within recent years, but the color
gives the shoe its distinction, and
freakishness of trimming Is not favor
ed. Some Of the colored ties with
large white eyelets and broad white
ribbon or silk laces are particularly
attractive, but there is nothing strik-
ingly conspicuous or bizarre about this
touch. A woman can match almost
any frock in her slippers; and, II she
does not care to match a frock In
leather, she may have her slipper or
tie of white on black and let the trim
ming echo the color note Of the frock.
-Apropos Of shoes, French heels
have not the popularity today that
they enjoyed a few months past. The
Spanish heel, which is lower than the
military, but carries out the same
shape, is the coming heel for both
boots and ties" The smart lace for a
low shoe is Of silk and matches the
leather exactly in color. The ready
made laces show metal tips, but many
girls buy surah ribbon by the yard
and finish the ends diagonally. Or,
IL they prefer a more fancy finish for
white or colored ties, tassel made OF
beads is sometimes fastened to the
end of the ribbon. Clasps for fitting
tightly over the knots Of these silk
ties to hold them firmly in place come
In silver and gun metal, and the girl
who can afford to do so has her mon
ogram engraved on the clasp.
- Shoes to match the rest Of ones
costume seem to be growing daily
and not only black, tan, red and white
shoes, but gray in various shades, and
perhaps, blue and green ones-though
I believe I should draw a line at the
last color mentioned. With green
suit, however, I see no reason why
they might not be pretty Where peo-
pie have plenty Of money and lots OF
society" they have dozens Of pairs of
hose, and as many shoes almost to
match the hose and the various gowns
with which they wish to wear them
Indeed, the fad Of having both shoes
and hose to match the rest OF ones
costume seems to be a growing one,
not only for evening affairs, but 1t Is
said for the spring and summer this
fashion will be followed as far as pos
sible. Especially, I believe. will this
be true in regard to the wearing OF
white shoes with white dresses.
pretty fad Is this, too, carrying out the
idea cap-a-pie.
White canvas and leather low
shoes will be much worn and great
improvement has been made In the
Gashioning Of these ties, so that, If one
is willing to pay good price, one
may now obtain a very shapely and
! comfortable canvas or duck shoe,
White linen duck dotted with pin
point-dots of black Is used for ties and
FINISHED with either white leather or
black patent leather, the laces match
ing the leather trimmings. Patent
leather trimmings appear, too, on
white shoes of canvas or Of leather;
and, in some instances, are very fetch
ing. White canvass or leather pumps
with these black patent leather trim
mings are attractive novelties, and
pumps of all kinds, patent leather, tan
leather gun metal kid, etc, are to be
used for walking shoes as they were
last season. In fancy slippers and ties
there are many new effects. Leather
in all colorings is represented in this
class and in both suede and glace fin
ish.
The hand painted parasols are
more numerous than ever before, and
more reasonable In price, although
even now some specimens are exceed
ingly expensive. Ordinarily, though
not necessarily, the ground work is
white silk and the painting may take
the form of scattered sprays, garlands
or wreaths running over the whole
parasol or may be in separate designs
upon the panels. One parasol, much
admired, has big punches Of violets in
every other panel, with small violet
clusters in the intervening panels and
painted ribbons and bow knots con-
Meeting the separate motifs. A SINH
lar design in big, loose roses Is quite
as pretty, and a shower Of pale laven-
der wistaria clusters encircles a very
charming sunshade in pearl gray silk
and inset lace. Iris, too, Is a favorite
with the parasol decorators, and Won
derful printed iris designs in heavy
white silk are used for parasol panels
as we'll as the painted iris. A delight

All iris design in the white silk had
an inch wide border of plain leaf green
and a stick of natural wood stained to
this same green.
In hosiery there are new colorings,
new open work designs, new en-
broidery designs, but the general char
acteristics echo those of the winter.
Small and delicate designs in embroid-
cry are better liked than the heavy
designs seen last summer, and are
certainly more becoming to the foot.
Open work has a vogue, though not
so decided as at one time, and the
shot silk effects bid fair to be more
popular than ever with walking shoes.
Very, very fine, plain silk stockings
with clocks are offered in every imag-
Unable shade, and nothing is smarter,
