About children,a Shoes.

Children are often made uncom-
Portable by being obliged to wear
shoes that are either too large or too
small The mistake is made in buying.
An experienced shoe man who has
made childrens shoes a special
study, advises that the child wear
thick stockings when trying on shoes.
In many case the child will wear his
best hose, which are thinner than
those for every day, and then the new
shoes will be trifie too tight when
worn with the thicker pair Buy as
good leather as you can afford, but 1t
Is not wise to buy the most expensive
shoes, for the child may outgrow
them The shoe dealer above quoted
says that a shoe with wide, fiat, low
heel is better for the child than the
heelless shoe, since children usually
put the heel of the foot down heavily
when walking. Teach children to take
care Of their shoes. When the shoes
have been wet they should be wiped
dry, stuffed with paper to hold their
shape, put in a. warm place and
rubbed with vaseline to keep the
leather soft.

A COLLEGE OF MILLINERY.

Kansas City Journal: An announce

this country a college Of millinery. AL

purposes fully outlined, it is evident

Why not? There are scattered all
ever this country colleges Of almost
every conceivable art, philosophy and
science ever heard of, and it is high
time that something was done to clas--
ify and harmonic the making of
women's hats and gowns. In spite Of

help the American women to dress in
good taste, it would serve quite as use

Not long ago Countess Thomara de
Swirsky, who has been teaching dane

our women: emo woman ever will
be beautiful until she forgets that
there is such a word as fashion. To me
you American women seem slavish
followers of fashion. At Newport the
women flatter themselves that they
have the fashions of Europe, but they
have not Everything is exaggerated

Petticoat Flounces.

The petticoat fiounce is meeting
with great favor, especially those
women who seek the best results for
the least expenditure of money. A

the knee. 1t is best to have this top
made of shade to harmonic with
the flounces used One woman has a
black silk top skirt, with which she
wears a black silk ruffle for her black
gowns. She wears a ruffle Of blue
silk having a touch of black in the
pattern with her light blue gowns, and
a black and white silk ruffle for some
of her afternoon gowns. 1t means that
instead Of having whole silk petit
coat for each gown, one may have
silk ruffle. 1t is made with a firm,
narrow band at the top, well provided
with buttonholes, and when worn 1t is
buttoned on the top skirt For an
elaborate skirt white silk top will
admit all sorts of pale silk f1ounces
to wear with the various colored par

may be worn with it. And by the
way, many women may not know that
the petticoat fiouncings may be
bought by the yard to replace the
worn out fiounce of the old garment
They cost from 81 to SO fiounce, so
that it really does not pay to buy them
