A very charming mirror decorated

more than half an inch wide, and was

How to Trim the Newest Shoe Tree

THAT every detail of the closet may
be attractive to look upon and the
shoe rack or shelves be just as
conspicuously pretty as the hanging
bars, with their bright colored ribbon
hangers. the shoe trees must also be
adorned and beautifed. An old fash
ioned slipper or boot tree. with its ex-
tension bar in the center, can not well
be trimmed up, but the newest tree,
consisting of a plain wooden toe and
heel piece, connected by a flexible
steel bar, really needs to have that
unpreppssessing band of steel disguised
by a dainty cover of bright colored
ribbon or silk.
These trees are extremely easy to
cover and call for no more material
than yard and a half of ribbon an inch
and half or less in width, according
to the size OF the steel band Satin

girl likes to have pretty silk stockings
for dancing and other parties, and the
fashion this winter Is to have them
gayly bedecked with flowers. Fasci-
mating vines trail from the toe up over
the arch of the foot or little clusters
of tiny flowers are dotted on here and
there. They are gay In color, for the
flowers are worked in bright shades,
while leaves done in vivid greens al

arbutus makes lovely decoration on
white silk stockings intended to wear

Gold and silver leaves and vines are
also used with the little silk roses and

only are the gold and silver ribbons
employed, but also cloth of gold is used
to make the roses or leaves.
The ribbon work. done directly upon

are endless and charming.

ribbon work or brocaded mirrors will

Brocade Covered Jardinieres

- NE OF the new things which girls
are making of old bits OF bro
~ cade and gold lace are small jar
dinieres in which potted plants can be
placed. AS every one knows who has ever
sought for jardinieres in the shops,
nothing is more difficult than to ind
jardiniere which is suitable for a very
daintily furnished apartment unless
one is prepared to go TO the expense
of old silver bowls. carved crystal
and similarly very handsome pieces.
The jardinieres covered with brOcades
are perfectly suitable substitute for
these and at the same time afford an
opportunity for using small pieces OF
beautiful fabrics to great advantage.
The plant is. OF course. kept in It's
original pot; the jardiniere is merely an
outer covering. 1t is made of thin
cardboard curved in the shape of a
flower pot and with the bottom piece
stitched fast to the circular sides with
strong thread.
1t Is not necessary to have one piece
of brocade large enough TO cover the
entire les. Usually several strips are
used. the seams being covered with gold
lace or braid. The strips reach from
the top to the bottom OF the jar and
should be OF equal width. The lining
Is OF dull colored silk. matching one
of the shades in the brocade. or OF
linen. The bottom OF the jardiniere is
covered with this material also If
there is not enough Of the strips OF
brocade to cover the jar. pieces of
plain satin or velvet may alternate
with the brocade. The figured material
Is used around the top of the tardi-
Mere also, and the plain satin or velvet
around the bottom.
The gold braid or lace which is used
should not be new and bright looking.
but should be the charming old gold
which blends so nicely with all sorts
of decoration. The brocade used should
be beautiful and even rare, as 1t is
not worth while to go to the trouble
OF making this sort OF thing of COM
monplace materials.

vors, but giving quite a different effect.
The wreath can be made either of arti-
fetal flowers or of paper flowers. A
girl who knows how to make paper
flowers can use them, but it will take
good deal of time to make enough of
these, and one can buy very pretty
muslin flowers at the millinery bargain
tables in the shops. The wreath is
started with ring that will fit the

Cover both sides with the crepe paper,
leaving an extra inch on the inner
edge of each, which is again cut in
Sits at intervals and pasted to the
inner side of the lower edge of the
band. When the glue is quite dry the
brim is bent into the shape of cooked
hat, being turned up at each side of
the front and at the back. Where 1t
is turned up at the left side fasten 1t
with a cockade consisting of rosette
of buff paper and a little brush made
by cutting the paper in fine strips
with the crinkle, not across it.
Another style of hats which gives
quite an amusing effect to the dance is
a sunbonnet for the girls and farmers
hat for men. The sunbonnet is made
on much the same principle as the Pris-
ella cap, but is larger. The half circle
for the crown is somewhat larger and
gathered a little more, and the strip
for the front of the bonnet is 20 inches
long and 9 inches wide, and ii is stiff
fened with cardboard. The crown does
not come quite to the bottom of this.
and into the extra space is fitted
little gathered founce that hangs down
the back OF the neck. The sunbonnet
can be made of either Powered paper
or Powered dimity or checked ging-
ham. AS the farmers hat TO go with
it must be a real straw hat the cot
ton material is best. The prettiest
effect is obtained by making them of
dimity with many different flowers. The
only way to get the effect of the farm
ers hat is to buy the cheap broad
straw hats that are used by farmers.

cotinon and in the enjoyment Of
the young people taking part in
1t. Lots Of fun is often made by the
favors, and charming effects are pro-
duced. Any number OF pretty favors
can be bought, and. OF course, some
people use very beautiful and expensive
things for this purpose but that seems
rather foolish and unnecessary unless
one is very wealthy. for, after ALL the
real result aimed at is an enjoyable
evening and pretty, artistic effects.
Anything TO wear or to carry while
dancing the favor figure is especially
desirable, and different kinds of color
schemes can be carried out with hats,
wands and such things A girl who
plans a holiday dance with a cotillon
can make some exceedingly pretty ia
vors Of this kind herself. Or, if she has
not enough time TO give to the work to
make them all herself she Will prob
ably find plenty Of girl friends who will
be only too glad to spend a few after
moons with her and help make them.
Several kinds of hats for the diff
ferent figures can be made. one very
pretty style being a cooked hat for the
men and a Priscilla cap for the girls.
Both of these are made of paper. For
the Priscilla cap cut a strip of paper
i inches long and inches wide for
the front of the cap. Then cut a half
circle. with its straight edge u inches
long.
Gather it little in the center of the
curve and the center Of the straight
edge and fasten the front piece around
the curved edge. turning back two
inches of the front to give a little flare
around the face. These Priscilla caps
should be made of white tissue paper
or crepe paper.

BOX KAUFMAN TONIGHT
Victor Will Be Matched
With Winner of Lang
Ketchel Go.

philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 10.-The first
of the elimination fights to pick an OPP
ponent for Johnson will be staged at
the American league baseball park
here today. Sam Langford and Al Kauf-
man being scheduled to box six rounds
The winner OF the go probably will
be matched against the victor of the
Ketchel-Lang affair and the survivor
will be the man picked to go against
the heavyweight champion.
The contest today will be of no de-
cision variety, but there is a possibil-
ity of one of the big fellows slipping
over a knockout and being returned
a decisive winner. Langford is the
more noted for heavy punching and
those who are betting on knockout
are backing the negro.
If Langford puts Kaufman away he
will accomplish something Johnson did
not do in ten rounds and will turn a
trick that but one fighter ever has
done Jack O'Brien is the only man
that ever slowed Kaufman away and
he stopped the Californian when the
latter was green al the game.
Kaufman will have forty pounds ad-
vantage in weight, but Langford and
his hackers are not bothered by this
Preparations have been made to care
for 10000 people, as the promoters be-
lieve the attendance Will break all rec
ords for boxing contests in this coun-
try.
