Fashion and the Bootmakers

| Fashion has decreed that the bot
tom of the winter skirt shall be eight
inches above the ground. This fact,
perhaps more than any other, has
Influenced the designs shown by the
bootmakers. When skirts are long,
women, including the most fastidious.
are content with black boots. When
skirts are short, the ingenuity of the
shoe designers is put to the test.
There has perhaps been no other sea-
son that has compared with the pres
ent one in this respect. Street boots,
as well as dancing slippers, show that
thought has been placed on their de-
sign, says an exchange.
Among the street shoes IL q model
that may be had with vamp In either
dull calf or patent leather. and with
uppers In gray or black cloth. This
is button model. conservative in
design, with pointed toe.
A more striking effect Is to be found
in a shoe that is carried In dull calf
or patent leather, with gray top. The
flap through which the upper buttons,
Is cut away so that the line of but
tons instead OF curving, forms q
straight line on the outside. This
gives rather an unusual effect.
Another design that has had no
forerunner In former years Is a lace
boot with two bands of the leather
that is used in the vamp running up
either side of the top, to form q
foundation for rows of eyelets. This
model, like the ones just described,
has a five-inch Cuban heel and a
piece of the vainp leather running
around to protect the upper where 1t
is Joined to the heel. The laced boot
may be had with vamp of dull black
calf and top of brown buckskin.
Among the evening slippers is q
custom made one of gray and silver
kid. The quarter. of silver kid. is
continued over the instep, with a
design on either side and fastening
of silk elastic under a large rhine
stone buckle. The vamp is of a
darker gray.

Why Gratitude Is Scarce


In the November Wonan's Hons
Companion Charles e. Jefferson,
pastor OF the Broadway Tabernacle,
New York city, writes Thankssiv-
ing sermon entitled THE Beauty and
Power Of Gratitude" in the course Of
which he explains as follows why
gratitude is scarce:
at must be admitted that. even to
the present hour, gratitude Is one os
the rarest of virtues. The Roman
historian Livy long ago observed that
men do not feel their good things so
keenly as their evil things. Human
nature today is in this respect what
1t was two thousands years ago. Our
losses go deeper into us than our
gains; our disappointments cut a
larger figure in our memory than our
victories"

plenty OF water and eat simple
wholesome foods. avoiding ice cream
sodas and rich desserts, etc.
Bathing the nose with the follow

relieve the redness, IL the blood YES

the redness Is superficial: Twenty
grains of tannic acid in one ounce
of glycerine.
Bleaching the skin would not help

dilated.
