 High heels and narrow toes, are all well enough for house and evening wear by a woman of leisure At such times the feet are not under much strain, but the same shoe used for walking and tramping over rough country roads or walking and tramping about the shops and in city streets is decidedly out of place.
 And the same shoe worn by business women. by saIeswomen who must stand long hours on their feet and by the very maids and cooks in the houses of women of leisure is ridiculous.

The Importance
 Of TriAes

e AM sure spend just as much
 time and money on the little things that don't count as do for my suits and dresses and hats" complain ed one woman who was having difn-. culty in finding a moderate priced coll lar dressy enough for her new crepe de chine blouse.
 It is very true that one must spend large portion Of one's dress allowance for all these little accessories but in stead of not counting at all they are wonderfully important.
 There is a very great difference be- tween the woman who is nicely dress ed and the woman who is entirely sschic.a The former. perhaps will have well made clothes, good hats and f1rs and. as a rule. look very charming, but unless she pays an infinite amount of attention to all, the tiny details and al- lows herself an ample margin in her dress allowance for the small things. such as neckwear, stockings.s gloves. etc. she will never achieve perfection so far as matters sartorial are con- icerned-
 TO be perfectly turned out a woman must spend no inconsiderabIe sums on the less remarkable items of her at tire For instance. the fasfion for lace attached to blouses and costumes means a continuous renewal of delicate laces. while pretty blousess hats for every occasion, belts, ribbons and ties by the end of a year will be found to have cost as much as, if not more than the usual sum spent on costumes and gowns
 Howevex. there is no need to be- grudge this fact. for any expenditure on pretty, small things is well reward ed by the immense difference made to the whole appearance and the satisfac- ton thereby entailed.

 Goethe. of course. was speaking only, of physical beauty. not beauties of mind, which may increase with age. And Goethe was right The well cared for foot does defy the assaults of time Given a soft, dAinty shoe. a soft silky stocking and the old foot is quite as attractive as the young foot
 That is the ideal old foot But one wonders whether the present regime of high heels and marrow toes is not go- ing to produce some very ugly feet
