FASHIONABLE footwear of the pres
ent is as delicate. dainty and indi-
vidual as millinery Button gaiter
boots are having great vogue and are
seen in one and two color combinations.
The leading effect is mastic or ecru gaiter
tops, with black patent leather forepart.
Any number of new forms in gaiter styles
are being shown. but there is a great pref
erence for the gaiter shoe which buttons
in straight line on the outside, with top
and quarter of cloth, the forepart alone
being in leather. Buttons on these boots
are large and fat. The same gaiter forms
are noted in low shoes, which also button
on the outside, fastening with only three
buttons.
Owing to the revival of tan and cham
payne tones in dress goods. footwear In
these colorings is becoming very popu-
lar. Black patent leather and black vel

line and not color is the important thing
about clothes. If the personality is vivid
costume will help to bring out that per-
sonality and the less obvious and strik-

actress herself limits her choice of col
ors to three-white, gray and greenland
with these shades her .cOuturier produces
infinite effects of beauty and charm. Not
every actress could depend on green and
fnone's fiawless, creamy skin, her great
dark eyes and red-bronze hair are
thrown into striking relief by her choice
of colors. The sameness of her color
scheme in dress is all the more surpris-
ing because she believes that in every
instance the personality of the actress
should be absolutely submerged by her
role-that Is, she must be. for the time
being, the character she seeks to depict
and not-as SO many very successful
actresses are-merely well known star

Not all women copy the same actress.
If woman likes the type of beauty
which an actress represents, or particu-
larly admires her personality. she is very
likely to copy her gowns, her coiffures,
her mannerisms and her voice, whether
or not these features fit her own type
and personality. For instance, there are
short plump women who adore the 1.-THE
| slenderness of Kitty Gordon and have
made spectacles of themselves trailing
about in sea green draperies that some

costume is perhaps the one pictured

Concerning Wells.

Wells should be wisely chosen and
correctly worn in order to add to
ones appearance. Try it over your face
before, you buy 1t, and if you are not
sure as :, to its proper adjustment ask
the salesWoman to show you how to pin
1t on. She ought to know. A shabby
veil, or one that is not adjusted prop
eriy on the hat, is worse than nothing,
as 1t gives the wearer a very untidy ap-
pearance. The delicate-colored fine mesh
wells are serviceable and cause even a
plain face to look pretty behind one If
becoming color is chosen Women
seem to think that they can wear any
color of veil, whereas they would not
think of wearing any color Of gown or
hat. and the veil is far more important
as 1t comes in direct contact with the
complexion. There are those that are al
most flesh tinted that are becoming to
every one, but as skins are very different
! in color. and you may not be aware Of
the fact, do not choose a veil which is
becoming to some one else, but first try
on and study well before choosing. Peo-
pie with pale and sallow skins should
be especially wary and not choose heavy
veilinss to make their compilations mud

ness OF eyes which would appear less
brilliant and perhaps not quite so blue
with other shades.
The newest wells are the dyed shadow

patterns sufficiently delicate to enhance
of the wearer. These wells are dyed In
dark shades, such as navy. brown. plum

can be prevented If you take silk

around the edge Of the veil on the ma
chine before the veil is worn the first
time. This line around the border can
not be detected. r It should always be
provided with chiffon and is also ad-
: visable In net and mesh wells.

just now the fad and are much smarter
than shirred or gathered effects. There is
a knack in pleating ribbon, and this knack
once acquired the work goes rapidly; but
il is very laborious work try ng to pleat
ribbon as one pleats cloth-by measuring
and basting before the pressing Is done
The basting threads make mar6s in the
ribbon which are apt to show after the
hot iron has been used. and of course the
basting may not be removed before the
pressing. There IS special ribbon board
which comes for this sort of work, and
the work can be easily and rapidly done
with this The board is measured off into
quarter-inch spaces with fine lines, and
small metal pins or staples are fastened
into the board at the ends of these lines,
long steel rods of needles" pass ng
through the loops of ribbon and through
the staples. When the ribbon has been
pleated thus across the board the needles
are carefully pulled out and hot iron
is passed over the pleated loops.

needles on accurately marked lines. pleat-
ings that are beautifully even may be
made in short time. after little rrac-

Party Suits for Boys.

Velveteen, dressy at the first, du-
rable and servioeable- to the last, will
always be popular for tunic and flrst
suits for little lads.
Brown, blue and green are the shades
commonly chosen. but a suit in rose
velveteen has been seen which made
the small wearer look quite a picture.
The little trousers should come well
above the knee, the tunic should b
double breasted and hook down the
right side. and 1t should show about
one and one-half inches OF the trou-
sers.
The leg-of- mutton shape caught into
cuff Is affected for the sleeve, and
the finishing details are collar and
cuffs OF Irish lace and cord Of plsat-
ed silk.

THE woman who desires to keep her
hands in good condition must pay
attention to the cleansing. and 1t
takes no more time to cleanse the hands
properly than to half wash them The
reason some hands always have a grimy
look is because the dirt is only removed
from the surface. not from the pores.
Soap and water will remove the dirt
from the outer skin, but 1t requires an
application of cold cream to take the
dirt from the pores. Wipe of the cream
after gently rubbing. then wash the
hands with mixture Of yellow corn
meal, warm water and soap; then rinse
the hands in cold water to prevent chap

New Use for Bits of Lace.

! novel uses for bits of laces which
have long been accommodating. One need

so familiar are they. but think of covering
evening shoes with scraps of lace, or

Care of the Hands in Winter

lemons Soak the hands in this for TWEEN
ty minutes, and the results will be very
satisfactory. An excellent whitener and
softener Of the hands for occasional use
Is made Of two tablespoonfuls OF lemon
juice. one OF glycerin. one Of almond oil
and few drops of violet extract.
Thin hands which have all-too-promi-
nent veins and sinews for beauty can be
plumpened by patiently soaking them for
a while each night in warm sweet oil, or
olive OIL, afterward drawing gloves over
the oily hands and wearing them to bed.
The oil can be used for several nights in
succession. The gloves before being
worn should have small holes shipped out
of the backs and palms, and the extreme
finger tips should be cut off. otherwise
they will discolor the hands.

The Circle Motif in Jewelry.

D INGs, hoops and discs are immensely
~ fashionable In ornament just now
and these motifs are conspicuous in
brooches. earrings. settings of rings and
other sorts of jewelry. The hoop brooch
made OF platinum, with small diamonds
or rhinestones set close together, is worn
at the neck, In the center of a smart bow
or cravat of satin or velvet. The circu-
lar plaque is just now the fashionable
pendant: Lorgnettes have round. rather
than eliptfcal, lenses and hoop earrings
are even more fashionable than the pend
ant type. All jewelry is of the filgree
rather than the solid type and the pure
white lights of silver and platinum are
more fashionable than the red tints of
gold.

VERY dainty frames for use in the

Houston was given until June 10 TO
