LIFE OF SHOES LENGTHENED
By THE CARE GIVEN THEN
May Be Made to Last Much Longer if Properly
Cared for and Worn

No care given any part of the fem
inine wardrobe is rewarded so gener-
ously as the attention paid to the shoes.
II is said that the Hfe Of a pair Of
shoes can be heightened according to
the amount Of care bestowed upon them.
Shoe trees are one of the most neces-
eary appliances for restoring the shape.
and should always be put into the shoes
Immediately after they are taken off.
Several pairs Of shoes should be kept
IN operation at one and the same time,
so that the wear and tear does not fall
upon one pair alone.
Wet or damp shoes should be given
special care, for If placed on a radiator
or near a fire the chances are the Ieath-
er will be ruined. for a chemical change
takes place when the leather is sub
s5ected to heat. which dries and parches

them in a warm room. but never in the

good dressing TO soften the leather. ANY
paste containing turpentine should be
avoided: one can easily detect the odor.
for although It gives good polish at
first, 1t eats into the surface of the
leather and ruins the luster, especially

Points to Be Considered.

In selecting shoes take into consider
alton for what purpose they are in
tended and the amount of wear they are
10 get. For instance. for walking get a
good strong leather that will stand the
wear and tear. while for dress buy just
she lightest. most flexible kid POSSIBLE.
II must be taken into consideration also
whether one IS to walk good deal in
buying business shoes, or whether the
wearer Is 10 sit at n desk all day. In
the latter case a medium weight shoe

6wer every purpose.
II but one pair of shoes is to do for
all occasions, IT is unwise to purchase
an extreme style. There are alvvavs
many new models on the market which
are introduced to give variety and to sell
to women who are always on the look
out for something unusual. Insist on
having a perfect fit. Shoes that are Ill
fitting VIII Wear out much quicker +ba,
those which fit properly.
Don't neglect 20 have shoes fixed when
they come to the Observation-Disclosures
period. for. according to the old saving
"A stitch in time saves nine" the same
advice applies to shoes. Each little Ja

are subject TO The unfortunate infliction
OF excessive perspiratiOn, and nothing so
quickly ruins shoe as keeping the
leather damp DAY after day. IL is alb

premature decay. Dry the shoes, lining
and leather, thoroughly before using
again There are powders now which
can be shaken into the shoes that will do

NEW STATIONERY
Shows Weaves Like Textiles or Fabrics.

Dainty textile-like note paper, In all
the delicate tints. is being used b.
smart women this spring In light
blue, Sray, mauve, or - light shade of
cid rose the sheets and envelopes are
particularly attractive, and have the
appearance Of fine linen cloth in which
every other thread is white The iu1i-
teton or sheer dress fabric is so
Bile
Despite the colors in which this new
paper is made. IL is most diRnified and
quiet, though there is a tiny thread-lilt
border around the edges Of the sheets
and the envelopes that at first gives the
idea Of decoration. 1t stands out so
strongly that IL looks almost like an
enanfel edgIng. and is decidedly effec-
tive and appropriate for note paper
Following the styles in stationery
that have been considered good form
Tor many seasons, the sheets Of note
paper are square. while the envelopes
are Oblong with pointed flaps, and are
large enough to hold the paper with
enc folding.
Though made like the ordinary en-
yelope in the back, the bottom seam
does not stop on the edge, but con-
tinues about hair an inch up, and is
then cut of square. All the edges
and seams are outlined with white, so
that the envelopes, without being con-
spicuous. are odd and attractive.
This new style paper is used only
for ones friends, Of course, for the
plain white kid or linen is the correct
thing for formal notes AS in the other
case, the sheets are square and the en-
velOpes obiong, with pointed flaps. Note
Paper is ALWAYS smaller than the
average correspondence sheets, and per-
hapS for that reason is more used by
women, even when the larger styles
would be in better form.
Correspondence cards in the same
shape and size as those used last sea-
son are correct this year. And many
women are writing to their friends on
a combination sheet and envelope that
is made in one piece.
Monograms. initials. dyes used on pa
per this season are made in all sorts
Of odd shapes and placed anywhere on
the sheets that seems most desirable,
sometimes in the center If the stamp
is especially large, or in one corner If
Of medium Sibe.
Most niticeable Of all the stationery
fads is the sealing wax that is used
10y every one now. 1t does not look
ike the kinds most Of us are familiar
with, because it is made in all the
delicate pastel shades to match the
new tinted papers. And women viii
search all the shops in the city to get
q wax that corresponds with TIE tone
or the paper Occasionally when this is
Impossible they select a shade that
VIII make a sharp contrast and yet
be Of the same color
On gray envelope gray sealing wax
IS used, and on a blue one wax that
VIII match is considered correct. or II a
Snlce 10 correspond cannot be found
then a vivid tone of the same color is
pest, according to the latest fashion.
