shoes and siI,en Hose to Match
The pater familns who cheerfully foots
the bills for the amusements and eXtrava-
gauces Of his womenkInd will doubtless
seriously consider putting each of them
upon an allowance, a fixed and stated
sum, to he paid upon fixed and stated
dates ana In no wise TO be anticipated or
oyerdrawn, when the bills for this sum
mer's outfit begin to come in.
The summer styles may be succinctly
summed mp rs extravaganza run riot.
Not only. are the gowns. the blouses. the
chapeauX land the countless accessories
that go To complete the up-to-date toilette
more dlmy, iiimsy and more pcrishab bic than
oven before; not only are they more costly
at the start, but they, one and all, are of
the kind and character Us TO demand the
services Of n skilled cleanser rather than
the humely and comparatively inexpensive
attention of the laundress
The latest fad-and an extravIgant
one. It almost goes without saying--is to
have each toilette complete In itself. For
Instance. not only Is there the gown, but
there must he a petticoat, a hat, a para
sol, boa. gloves. shoes and silken hose,
all to match, and these are selected Mt
their best whom they will not accord with
the other items of the wardrobe.
For example, with the white or colored
linen frock of the morning appearances,
there Is 10 be blouse to match. The
silken petticoat is of the same tint. and
II the gown be white, then white buck
skin pumps-canvas ones have been too
cheapy put ON the market to command
any attention Whatsoever from the ext
geuntn mondaine-aud white silken hose
accompany it.

while the footwear may be white silk,

gown, and a pair Of those white linen
duck shoes that present hairline in
color, ana n fiat little Cravat bow of ribbon

fashion are obCyed. aud that air of exclu-
sivenCss and extravaganza we'll supported.
The Parasul is one OF the costly items
this season that we'll displays even to the
unohscrvant the probable amount of It's
price. More and more elaborate do they
become, and the need for II goodly supply
OF sunshades is just MS imperative as is
the requisite number of changes in Chemis-
cites and lingerie The plan OF having a
plain coachlug silk or linen parasol for
morning use and a slightly more elaborate
one for afternoon drives and visits will not
fit in with the gowns In favor just
now. There must he some connecting
link between the costume and the sun
shade, some sameneSs of color. trimming

ably declare IL Il part and parcel of
that toilette and Of no other.
