PLAIN AND SENSIBLE SHOES
Childish Footwear In Contrast With
the Elaborate Finery Of Their
Costumes.

If you look at the beBt-dressed chill
dren in the parks or on the avenues OF
the big cities, you will see that they
all wear sensibly shaped shoes
shoes that take a good coat of black
ing and stand heavy wear. too.
Even the white shoes for afternoon
wear or for all-the-time wear-as some
children wear them-have round, bulg-
ing toes. The pumps for house wear
are never pointed. either.
This is not because the children OF
today dress simply: not at all for
never we're the little frocks shown for
children more expensively wrought
with hand embroidery. lace rosettes
and rufiies.
And their shoes certainly cannot be
patterned on the shoes of their elders,
as many OF their frocks are. for the
shoes of their elders are anything but
sensible.
For some reason, no matter how
much fnery the small girl OF the day
wears. the shoes that go with II are
sensible.

The Tennis Girl,

Every summer girl plays tennis
that Is II she Is an outdoor girl. and
the summer girl OF 1914 is a lover OF
the great outdoors. In the morning,
when she first gets up. she puts on her
tennis toys, simple linen clothes made
with an eye to comfort as well as style.
The tennis skirt must be short, and II
must be full to allow of free stride,
and this season, when plaits are so
much In vogue, plated skirt either
OF white serge or linen is just the
thing to wear on the court. The blouse
to accompany this skirt must be made

An old.fashioned method of cleaning
white kid gloves consists in rubbing
them with white CASTLE soap. The
soap is merely dipped in water and
then rubbed over the finger tips. the
gloves first having been drawn over

of with piece of soft flannel, the re-
suit being sufficiently satisfactory to
enable the gloves to be worn once

A way of cleaning white cloth or
