- o be well shod is one of the most
important points not only of
stylish dressing, but of neat
~ dressing as well nowadays,
for in the mutual dependence of one
fashion on the other we find that
the modes in frocks are having a most
decided influence on the modes in
footwear.
OF course the woman who cares al
ways has seen to 1T and always Will
see to it that her footwear Is one of
the most carefully selected appoint
ments of her toilette. But neyerthe-
less this vigilance has been brought
to the boiling point, so to speak, in
these latter days, since skirts in gem
eraI have become closer and closer
as to fit; since the fashion and COM
mon sense demand that they be still
shorter, and above all, since the
slashed skirt has appeared on the ho-
rizon.
+ All this means that women's feet
are getting more and more into evil
dence, and it behooves her to make
them appear to the best advantage
as to dressing. So, in sitting the pos
sibilities OF, the shoe types that will
answer the purpose from the stand
point of fashion, appearance and con-
venience, it has come about that the
preference has turned toward but
toned styles, and who can deny the

superior trimness of the buttoned boot
beneath the walking skirt or peeping
through the slash of the dancing
skirt?
And so 1t has come about that the
fashionable woman of today is wear
ing buttoned footwear all day long
from her dainty boudoir slippers, her
stout walking boots, her afternoon
shoes and the fragile slippers of the
midnight revel, for in all of these
types do we find that the button
vogue is very strong indeed. And in
cidentally this same vogue prevails
in fashions realm for mems footwear
as well as for children's.
Covering these feminine uses for
the winter season and for the spring
as WELL here Is shown a charming
choice of footwear in the prevailing
types, all of which or selection from
which will make a decidedly useful
as well as stylish outfit.
First, two practical boots for day
use are given, both on the liness that
are accepted this season. The one
to the left has been built for dressier
occasions, and so is of patent leather
vamp with q twilled cloth upper in
taupe gray. The long slender reced-
ing line of the toe makes this boot
ultra fashionable-for that is the
proper sort of toe to be wearing for
dress-up occasions nowadays. The
welted sole and the slender Cuban
heel give smartness to this buttoned
booth that make it acceptable for
|street as well as for indoor wear.

Now for the dresser occasionl
Many women prefer q low shoe for
afternoon and evening indoor wear
so here is the proper type OF Colonial
pump that fashion is accepting this
winter. Note that here. too. the long
receding toe gives a very pretty slen-
derness to the foot, the length and
slenderness exaggerated by placing
the buckle quite far up on the vamp.
There is an opportunity for putting all
sorts of fancy buckles on this sort of
pump, according to ones taste and
purse, or il preferred the plain and

The heel is covered like a French
heel, but is more of modified

on every type of shoe, even for street.

Shopping for the little folk is easy
in the early days of the season, be-
fore stocks have been mauled over
and the prettiest things picked out.
When Juvenile garments are pur-
chased ready made. the task is much
sImplified; a days shopping with a
plentifully filled pocketbook will sup
ply everything necessary; and in the
great speciality shops devoted to chill
dren's raiment one may go from de-
partment to department with trans

Shopping For Bargains.
But not every mothers pocketbook
is plentifully filled, and a deal of
shopping about is necessary to buy

pays, with a busy mother who has
household cares to attend to; for the
time spent in shopping will be much
less than the time required to make
up the garments In the home sewing
room, and the labor of selecting in
the shops less than the labor of plan
ming and designing over the sewing

Most Of the big stores have two chill
dren's departments; one above stairs
and one in the basement. In the up

Plaids Much Fancied for Winter
Erocks

The gay Scotch plaids are very fash
ionable for children this season. and
very charming are the wee lassies at
tired in bonnie plaid kits and little
bolero jackets worn over loose blouses
OF white null. Such a costume, shown
in Fifth avenue window the other
day, was of green and blue Stuart
plaid. The short killed skirt hung in
straight lines, and above it was a
Jaunty jacket of the plaid, edged with
narrow black silk braid. This Jacket
fell just over the belt at the back, but
the fronts were rounded up to a smart
black t9ffeta neckbow which finished
a collar of machine embroidery. A
band of similar embroidery trimmed
the front of the underblouse of white
patiste. 70 match this bonnie Scotch
costume there was a tam of soft black
velvet with saucy quill outstanding at
one side.
another pretty plaid frock is of
blue, tan and rose pattern on a cream
ground. There is a deep yoke with
klmono sleeves, made of the plaid
material on the bias. The skirt cut
on the straight. is attached to this
yoke above the natural waistline.
Graduated loops and small metal but
tons outline the junction of waist and
skirt, the edge of sleeve and the skirt
hem.
A Red Frock Appeals to Every Little
Girl.
The small girl adores a red dress
and has from time immemorial.
Every grown-up woman can look back
and recall her own longings in this
regard. and the red frock is none the
less charming now than it was when
grandmother was a little girl.
A fetching red model, made of the
soft, lustrous lansdowne, a mixture of
wool and silk much fancied for chill
dren's frocks, is effectively trimmed
with corded pipings and rows of tiny,
self-covered buttons. The waistline
is low and outlined by a rather wide
belt, two lines of the buttons running
UP and down the front of the belt,
five inches apart. The waist is cut
out in a shallow square over yoke
of machine embroidery and at the
outer corners of the square the waist
material is slashed down five inches,

HOW TO MAKE A MODISH HIP
GIRDLE.

HOW TO MAKE A MODISH HIP
GIEDLE.
TN the shops the broad silk sashes
a that knot around the hips are
rather expensive - for a slender
purse to contemplate; but such a gir-
die is not difficult to build at home,
and any girl with fair skill at her
needle may possess one. Three yards
of very wide, soft ribbon win be re-
quired for the girdle. Cut one strip
just long enough to go around the
hips. Gather the ends up tight and
sew on a hook and eye. Shir the gir-
die in three places and stay the
shirring underneath with feather
bone. This is the foundation for the
knotted sash. Tack the sash to the
back OF the foundation at top and
bottom of the featherbones. The
ends may be brought around to the
front and tied over the narrowed ends
of the foundation.
