boots or walking shoes, the latter ac.
companied by CATERS in cold weather. Some
boots show black brown or gray Suede tops

little round buttons which were hitherto the
monopoly of boots are now replaced by Hat
larger kind and by mother-of-pear buttons on
Suede tops.
For evening wear satin shoes are still favor
ed, though gold and silver tissues are the height
of fashion. The cut is generally very simple
and, like those of patent leather, they are very
low, and finished with tiny satin bows or minia-
ture buckles and buttons in straps or gold FLAPS
and large buckles are less modish. Moderately
long, rounded tops and not exaggeratedly high
heels are considered smart
TUNtCs AND OVERDRAPERIES.
Tuncs and peplums of lace figure on many OF
the latest evening and tea gowns. Most ap'
propriate is the peplum displayed on the aesthet'
icalv composed dinner dress of yellow chiffon
shown recently. A Greek key pattern worked in
white silk the highwaisted bodice of gold tis-
sue embroidered in green and white, the gold
tassels finishing the peplum-here are lngred

is accompanied by a coiffure consisting of jew

Long coats Stimulating tunics are the latest thing
on afternoon dresses.
While mousseline de sole is used lavishy in
the daytime, stuffs great deal heavier than those
employed recently are coming in again for even

straps bretelles, small boleros, gilets and other
more novel Celebrations, which give an appear

is of great use to those to whom expense is a
consideration.
What clever combinations may not be achiev-
ed with chiffon and fur. producing handsome re-
suits even though the fur may play but very
small part in the scheme? &c cne cannot afford
muff stole of fine fur, how easy it is to
have one made of gathered chiffon edged or in
serted with narrow bands of mink chinchilla.
Nousseine de sole may also advantageouslv re-
place lace for tunics, peplums, stoles and the
like. Thus many expensive designs may be
copied at comparatively modern outlay.
