covers the toe and extends around on either
side OF the slipper to the heel. The elab-
crate combinations of leaves and bowknots,
beautifully blended. makes the pumps most
attractive. To add to their richness the
heels-exceedingly high ones-are covered
with gilt fligree work that harmonizes
with the other decoration and shows off
the slippers to advantage
One Of the stunning new styles in black
velvet Is comparatively plain. with no or
namentation except an imitation diamond
solitaire at the instep or top of the slipper.
This rhinestone Is about one carat in weight
and is facetted just like diamond cut for
a setting. 1t Is fitted with shank and
sewed on like a button and Is entirely prac-
teal for wear. The heels, however, are the
parts that give the pumps the extraordinary
appearance, for they are of gilt kid and by
contrast decidedly striking.
Most of the slippers with jeweied heels
have the rhinestones set in as they would
be in a ring or stud. Six or eight of these
in black velvet heel or In purple. or even
red, are remarkable for the dazzling effect
they give the feet in dancing or walking
when not entirely concealed by a long
frock.
Quite as unusual as the jeweled heels are
the out-out designs on the toes Of some OF
the smartest pumps. These patterns, cut
out in floral and scroll devices, are filled In
with gilt or silver lace. which does not en-

NEW FOOTGEAR.
Many Models Exact Copies of His
torical STYLES.

Jewel-studded heels, opalescent beaded
and cut-work vamps. together with remark
able and elaborate combinations of kid and
velvet, form the new features of the sea-
sons footwear. Never since the days of
the Louis has there been noted such marked
departures from stereotyped styles.
Stunning and unusual as these bejeweled
heels are, they win not be more admired
than the exquisite workmanship on the toes
and sides OF some of the slippers. Many
of the models are exact copies Of Marie
Antoinettes dainty pumps that are exhfb-
tied in museum in Paris, and with few
exceptions all are patterned after the dainty
footgear that was fashionable more than a
century ago.
Though made from fine materials, 1t is
the decorations that make the slippers so
unusual, for they are unlike anything used
before to ornament footwear The designs.

tirely hide the stocking inside and gives
alluring glimpses Of the delicate pink, tight
blue pure white hosiery. These open
work slippers, as they are called, will I'M
doubtedly be as popular as the jeweied
ones.
In shape the slippers have narrower toes
than those of last year and the heels are
about a quarter of an inch higher. made on
the Louis XIV pattern. This makes the
heels for the evening shoe about two and a
half or two and quarter inches in height
This added height. with the narrow toe,
gives the new style pumps a grace and del
icate appearance that slippers have not pos
sessed in several years.
AS to the walking or dress boots with
veivet and cloth tops. they are quite re-
markable, for the newest of these are about
two inches higher than the average shoes
and have scalloped tops patterned after the
Napoleonic boots. The heels are about q
quarter of an inch higher and the toes
more narrow. Some Of the heels are mill
tary and others are copies Of the Louis
styles
One of the most striking combinations
among these stunning new dress shoes Is
the black patent leather vamps with the
purple velvet uppers, that button with fat
round white pearl buttons. such as are
usually put on gloves. Another pretty pair
has black vamps. with red velvet uppers
and white pearl buttons.

PARIS, 1906. r
A NEW fancy work Is creating the
~ usual amount of enthusiasm pro-
"A voked by anything of that order
Il y in Paris, with this difference, how
ever. that the new work is looked
upon as higher art than even the French
are apt to class as needlework.
1t is Madame Mankiewicz of Austria
that we are indebted for the inspiration;
and the new work was introduced under no
less suspicious circumstances than that of
winner of the first prize at the interna-
tional exhibition of Womens work recently
held in Paris.
What Is meant to stand first in this dis
play of womens handicraft could only be
appreciated by one who has seen the Won
derful things fashioned by the women
only amateurs were permitted to enter-of
all Europe.
Princesses and even queens exhibited
work done in a degree of perfection that
lifts it out of the class of the work most
of us associate with amateurs. There was
not a single representative of American
fact which speaks for itself and is very
much to be regretted
According to the old adage, there Is moth
Ing new under the sun, the new work is

brodery combined make up one of the

A single pocket says awkwardly. The
stitching Is oftenest briarstitching. but a
pretty and novel idea is to embroider q

be set at the top of each row of stitching.

The young woman who wants to divine
what the future holds for her should &c

and hoe thee"
II she Is fortunate, the true love will -ap-

ment OF her future husband. she must go
up a dark lane and pick up the first stick
she finds. If 1t Is straight and clean. she

the more ambitious mural decorations, lend
themselves successfully to the new treat

their decorative quality.
When asked if the work had taken very

only four years. sounded like pleasantly
to American ears, yet she was serious and
sincere according to the European reckon

Manet to one by Meissonier, so much big

lies her originality. She has applied an
art formerly employed for miniatures to a
wonderful new form of mural decoration.
The panel which gained for her the repu-
tation of being an artist of great ability
in this difficult genre is one of eight with
which she has decorted a salon in her
Austrian home. These measure six by
eight feet each and represent a garden
flooded with moonlight.
