 Shoes and slippers, if properly talk en care of, will look we'll and last much longer than they do many times. The shoes which are worn every day should be carefully wiped off and shoe trees put in them until they are to be used again. To clean light kid slippers put one half an ounce of hartshorn in saucer dip . bit of clean flannel in it and rub on a piece of white soap. AS soon as the flannel becomes soiled even slightly use a fresh place.

Speaking of filet lace, wide bands of black filet mesh richly embroidered in peacock colors, with touches of bronze, gold or silver are fast re- placing the Japanese { and Oriental trimmings which have held sway so long. Some of the designs shown in tints of orange and burnt leather strike particularly happy note in combination with the warm brown materials so popular this season.
 In evening gowns for young girls there seems to be a pronounced fancy for the tunic skirt, shortest in front and falling in a sweeping downward line in the back. The tunic fits close ly around the hips, falls like the mar velously cut plain skirts in graceful widening folds we'll down toward the floor, and only near the bottom of the very long sweeping skirt asserts its separate identity.
 Very attractive as a change from the long lace curtains are the white and colored madras curtain materials and the new designs in cream colored fishnet.

A neat open ing may be finished under front plait of button in the back waist, low enough for the hand to be able to conceal the small articles, and the difficulty overcome. One can buy a small pocket which is handy while shopping, since 1t holds small parcels one does not care to carry in the hands. The pocket is moderately large and furnished with clasps which make it easy to attach to the petticoat
