short hairpins. A more secure fas.
tening is managed by small hook at
one end of the band which grasps a
loop at, the other end, the fastening
concealed under a strand Of hair. A
fine hair net helped out with close
fitting band of this kind will keep the
couture unspoiled for many gay hour.
Purely for ornament and by way or
being unusual, the fragile butterfly
made of threads worked into a lace
stitch, is mounted on plain narrow
band of ribbon, for the head OF a lit
tie girl. Her dancing curls will take
care of themselves; the band OF rib
bon will restrain them from falling
over her face. The lacy butterfly Is
outlined with the very finest of silk
covered wire which supports the more
than gauzy wings.
The gay and buoyant bows Of rib
bon. which are set at pert angles on
the heads of little girls, are like but
terfiies in shape and seell to lie poised
ready to fly. Just little more airy,
the butterfly of needlework in the
very simplest of stitches is pretty for
the little girl who is herself like a
dancing butterfly.

A NEW aspirant for favor, with all
a the signs pointing toward its sue
cess. is Just launched. Smart shoes,
full OF snap and style, usher in the
military mode in footwear, with colors
and braidings and new features in cut
and finish distinguishing them from
time-honored styles from which they
have departed.
The vogue for cloth-topped boots,
having gray or tan or white uppers,
will help to make the military shoe a
success. The transition from these to
colors less unobtrusive promises to
be easy. Footwear has for the past
three seasons been growing more
snowy and no one can deny the at
Effectiveness OF boots made to match
costumes, and the elegant black and
white footwear which has distinguish
ed the season just passing.
But the new military styles are not
combining the manufacturers to neu-
trail or quiet colors. Their uppers are
made in cloth. in regimental or other
blue shades, In maroon, green and
brown. Just the smartest develop
ments OF all for spring is the shoe
having cloth like the gown embodied
IN its makeup. The strong materials
used in tailored skirts answer the pur-
pose very well. A more practical idea
is evident in spats. made Of the ma
terial OF the gown, to be worn over
either high or low shoes having patent
leather vamps.
The military SHOES are ornamented
with soutache braid and frightened
with patent leather tips. They are
one of the straws which show which
way the wind blows in new footwear.
The trend OF fashion is toward more
fanciful models.
