DEFEcT OF MODERN SOCIETY BOOTS 70 MATCH THE GOWN
So Great the Expenditure for Clothes
That Little is Left to Be En-
ployed Elsewhere.

The cost of dress, the absurd
lengths to which expenditure goes on
luxurious and sumptuous clothing, is
now pushed to such an extreme that
O woman's fortune, like that Of saw
age beauty, may often be seen on her
person, and there is no margin left for
entertaining, for all that makes social
intercourse delightful.
Three years ago 1t was said by a
senator's wife that only the very rich
could now give dinner parties at all,
and that for modest fortunes enter
tanning in any form, except the mild
dissipation Of afternoon tea and
cakes, was out of the question.
What, it may be asked, is the use
Of all this amazing expenditure on
finery. If the furs and trinkets, the
hats and robes are not to be exhibit
ed on festive occasions to friends and
admirers? A woman may be dressed
to perfection from head to foot, but
IL no one is to see it, and sociability
goes by the board in the effort to be
beautiful, to what end has she made
all this effort?
The matter is grotesque. and why
her men folk do not put a stop to it
Is food for wonder. You might as
wen, II you were a child. have a doll
which is attired in such costly and
sumptuous fashion that you can never
take 1t out Of its cupboard, nor afford
to ask your little friends to tea to
look at it.
There Is no doubt that IN France,
where the love of dress originates,
and where our woman first fall vic
tim to this fever for clothes. they
worship to the point of absurdity the
well-dressed woman.

Costume and Fcotgear Must Be Of the
Same Material-shoe for
Dancing.

sHow much do require for. a pair
Of boots?" is the question which the
smart woman may have to ask next
time she is buying material for new
frock.
A representative was Informed at
leading house the other day that the
latest fashion from Paris DEGREES that
costume and footgear must be made
of the same material.
Thus striped tweed will neces-
state pair Of boots of the same
tweed, and blue serge will be worn
with blue serge boots.
The representative was told that 1t
was usual to have the entire boot
made of the dress material, but it was
permissible to have the fashion car
ried out only in the uppers.
''The boots are very comfortable to
wear" 1t was stated, "and they make
the feet look much smaller, as no
prominence is given them when they
are clothed in the same material as
the skirt.
In the matter of house and even
ing shoes the rule is not stringent.
Patent shoes are being worn good
deal, and so are satin laced-trimmed
shoes.
Gilt and silver kid shoes will be
very popular for dancing. "-C Chicago

KING OF Detectives

Los Angeles. Cal. Common
sense the most uncommon thing
In the world, is the secret by
which William J. Burns, whose work
in convection with the McNamara
cases made his name worldwide, has
risen TO be crowned king of American
detectives. A4rAough he has dealt with
some Of the most hardened criminals
In thA country he has never fred a
shot at human being.

located In the west. working in Indian

south. He was soon placed in charge
OF that district. and in 1894 was trans
ferred to Washington, where he was
promoted for good work. and got a
rowing commission, going wherever
there was an unusually important
case.
One Of the biggest feats in those
days was the running down of the

form. 1t started with a slight erup-
ton and would affect most parts Of
his body thighs, elbows, chest, back
and abdomen and would terminate in
little pustuies. The itching and burn
ing was dreadful and he would almost
tear his skin apart, trying to get re-
lief. / recommended all the. various
treatments could think of and he
spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip-
tons but nothing seemed to help him.
In the meantime my wife who was
continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and methods
with my assistance, told me she war
going to get some Of the Cutic,lrr
Remedies and give them trial He-

her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths OF Cuticura Soap

Tldv Rlouaes

Blouses made of thin fabrics often
look untidy and unfinished at the
back, owing to the difficulty in con-
cealing the sewing on of the hooks
or buttons. A neat way to do this is
to stitch on small box plat after
the hooks have been sewed on, or the
sewing which shows through can be
covered over with lace, band Of en-
broidery or any suitable trimming.
When it is the placket hole that is
hanging loosely, and, in the case of a
fragile fabric. 1t seems likely to tear,
sew hook and eye as far down each
side as possible and press the hook
together to keep 1t from coming un-
fastened. This will hold the ends Of
the placket hole together and prevent
any chance of their dragging and tear
ing.
