Washington has to answer for many
fads this season.. but none Of them so
prone to foppishness as the decoration Of
pumps with embroidery and precious
stones. 1t almost seems as IL we are Go

Blue and gray dress suits are reported,
but. fast as London has gone in thin
direction. It cannot compare with the
Washington innovation. which already
has become so popular that the embroid-
cred pumps OF the men find their dupl-
cate In embroidered spats FOR women.
The embroidered pump made It's entrance
at a dance the other night in the Austro-
Hungarian Embassy. one exceeding gsl-
liant. and. il might be added, gracious,
officer, resplendent In sold lace, dotted
his embroidery with smoked pearls, and
still another was frank In the adornment
of seed pearls. Both exhibits almost
made the observer sniff for delicate
scents. The embroidered spat finds no
objection for women. because we expect
such things Of the fair sex. Mime. Amaral

Embassy was the first TO delight the
feminine half Of Washington with a pair.

objections which have been urged by

will not vote if they may and that the
