although that sharp contrast should
be carefully handled. The ribbed
stocking is also demanded in white.
The plsinest cut of shoe is the most
stylish for all children between the
ages of and i6. The button line is
not scslloped, nor is the ankle line
other than straight in the best shoes
Heels are invariably of three sorts.
Absence OF heel makes the baby shoe:
q slight and then a thicker spring heel
is good style for the somewhat older
baby and the very little girl, whereas
a low. broad heel, advancing gradually
according TO the child's years, is the
unvarying choice of a careful mother
for her daughters.
The fashions in shoes for children
and young girls follow along the line
OF health as do no other styles. It is
positively unstylish and incorrect FOR
the young girl to wear either a pointed
toe or high heel. Novelty shoes are
in especially poor taste, and the little
child abroad on rainy day without
overshoes is badly dressed.

NOT RAISE
PRICE OF DOLLS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-Dolls are
just dolls and not toys at all, according
70 a decision of the Treasury Depart
ment to-day. and thereby importers
are saved the difference between 35
per cent. and so per cent. ad valorem
duties.
II has been a weighty subject with
the customs officers at New York. and
the solemn Board of General Apprais-
ers. The trouble all arose from a too
sparing use OF periods in framing the
paragraphs IN the new tariff law gov
erning dolls and toys. The same
ruling holds as 10 doll heads. for they
also are held TO be taxable at only 80
per cent.
Collector Loeb found an invoice Of
decorated china dolls the other day,
and he sought light Are dolls conf

a5 per cent. or paragraph SO, at so per
cent?" he inquired. ''rhirty-f1ve per
cent" declares the Treasury. Rubber
dolls, too, come under the same duty
under a paragraph OF the Dingley law.
The Department has advised Collector
Loeb that dolls and toys are differ
entiated for classification purposes.
and that dolls and doll heads "of
whatever material composed" are SUBJ

Children's feet are invariably broad
at the toe. season in and season out.
The toes never change (according to
the canons of good taste), and there
is as little change in their shoe shapes.
Some slight variations. though, occur
each season in qualities and in the
combinations OF shoes and stockings.
Comfort is positively demanded by
mothers, and shoemalSers have re-
sponded in a broad-toed, high-ankled
russet boot, which is laced, for school
girls from the ages Of to u. When
this is worn its exact match in a
brown ribbed stocking is the only per-
rnissible kind. Black shoes of less
high ankle, but equally broad, are the
school alternative and the choice for
Sunday best on the street. They
are worn with black ribbed stockings.
White stockings belong to the white
buckskin high-buttoned shoe for home
wear FOR little girls from to 10 and
II. On older children they are an
exquisite touch. whereas they are the
most natural sort to buy for the very
little child Black patent leather pumps
also are worn with white stockings.
They are most correctly shaped when
made with a severe little ankle strap,
