All, children, | do not blame you for
asking how in tunkett he could open

women will require pink and blue slip pers and gold or silver brocade slip pers also. By shopping around 1t may be possible to pick up the two pairs Of satin slippers at three-fifty the pair and this brings the total for boots and slippers up to thirty-four dollars. Almost certainly, silk stockings to match the various types of footwear, and a few extra pairs of strong silk for bathing use, will use up the re- mainder of the fifty dollar allowance Yet one will not have provided lavish ly, considering footwear necessities of the moment.
 It must be remembered that bronze kid is extremely perishable and pumps or slippers of this kid should with more sturdy black or tan foot gear to be depended upon for everyday wear. Painful indeed are the bronze boots long since turned a sickly pur- pie which one meets every day-boots that say all too plainly: "She could have only one pair of expensive boots and selected bronze, pity her!"
 This years pumps are tricksy af- fairs, slender of line, pointed of toe and with high, French heels. They make the foot look adorably pretty, and really, unless one does great deal of walking, these exquisite, turned sole footcoverings seem to endure as long as heavier-soled models-and are vastly cooler and more comfortable for warm weather wear. The woman who

Heart-shaped pockets, piped all around with rose pink, are set on each side of the front; or there may be but one pocket on the left side above the heart! Pink pipings set off collar, cuffs and jabot frill at the front also.
 Bows Of All Sizes and Shapes.
 Bows afford another means of ad- ding telling touches of color to spring and summer blouses, and the bows are in all sizes from tiny, pert affairs futtering on lace sleeve frills to spreading gull wing bows draped almost completely over blouse front as pictured on a new voile blouse which shows also the latest flare col lar from which the head emerges like a teacup above it's saucer. The gull wing bow is made of blue taffeta and matches blue embroidered motifs on the blouse front. Smaller bows in the same graceful shape are draped on the sleeves. You perceive that this smartly bloused maid has possessed herself of hat to match her blouse bows; sailor hat of white straw, covered entirely over brim and crown with blue taffeta.

 One pays two prices for a net blouse; so much for the blouse, and

The lower edge of the blouse is slashed at the sides and piped with the colored linen. These smart Russian smocks come in tan crash with trimming of yellow, rose or green linen, and by matching the blouse material for g. separate sport skirt very attractive costume for summer days may be evolved.
 Blouses of shadow and chantilly lace over chiffon are shown for wear with tailleur skirts and separate skirts of taffeta. These blouses are lovely affairs, soft and infinitely graceful with their layers of sheer fabric and airy lace trimmings. Black chantilly lace blouses are mounted over white chiffon, and white net shirrings are inserted in blouses of black net; the black and white idea in dressy blouses in, faxr

by no means new except in details of cut and trimming. The prettiest are of pink Georgette crepe, hand embroidered then there are models of pink wash silk and satin and of pink batiste, the latter tucked or gathered to give an effect of great softness and grace.
 Washable Satin Blouses in Demand.
 Though the satin blouse, because of its high luster, makes the figure look larger than a blouse of less glossy silk fabric, it bears the palm in modishness this season. Tailored and sport waists of washable satin are in great demand for wear with both tailored suits and informal sport skirts. Two washable satin blouses are pictured, one very simple model for sport wear and the other more elaborate as befits blouse which will accompany formal tailored costumes. The sport blouse has becoming full ness. arranged in gathers at the shoul- der line and neat cuffs which may be unbuttoned and turned back on the arm for golf, tennis or other active sports.

Comes rainy day, and for economys sake-or other practical consideration-you don a second-best pair of heavy soled rough weather shoes with the dainty, modish tail1eur that must be worn because some special occasion demands that you be dressed up." Does not the consciousness of those clumsy shoes remain with you every minute of the afternoon? Do you not realize, un- happily, that your whole appearance is lacking in chic, just becauGe your feet are all wrong? Yet the same shoes, worn with tailored sport skirt and raincoat would fit the picture per- fectly.
 As one devoted little wife, figuring up her spring needs for the consid-
 eration of an indulgent husband, has
 put it: Fifty dollars ought to cover
 footwear expense for the summer"- and that, if you please, is a fairly mod
 crate estimate, as shoe needs and shoe
 prices are at the moment And what
 will the fifty dollars provide? It does
 seem a tidy sum, to be sure, to spend
 just on footcoverings for a season; but
 few women, planning a summer re-
 sort wardrobe, will be able to manage
 with less. A pair of very smart, very
 correct laced boots made of fawn or champagne kid, with the French heel and turned sole of fashion, will be needed for wear with tailored suits. silk frocks and other street costumes. These boots will cost at least seven
 dollars, if properly cut and built of fine, soft kid to show the lines of the foot. Fifteen dollars ought to buy three pairs of pumps, one pair of patent leather, one pair of white kid and an extra pair of bronze kid or some novelty combination of colored kid for special wear. Then there
 must be pair of irreproachable sport shoes and these, in good style, will
 cost another five dollars. Two pairs of dancing slippers, one pair white satin, the other pair black satin will ii.be fair allowance; though some

Nothing is more distressing than the sight of a sheer waist donned over an ordintry mus lin corset-cover, or worse still, a cor set cover or brassiere hastily and un- fortunately adjusted.

 terial from chiffon to heaviest linen and the style is very becoming to slender women with sloping shoulders not so pleasing on short-necked, square -shouldered danes. Typical of the spring and summer season is the cape-collar blouse of polka dots of handkerchief linen in rose and white. with pipings of rose-colored batiste on the white linen collar, cuffs and vest. The fronts of the blouse are made softly full by tucks at the shoul- der seam and each tuck is pressed into the sheer material all the way down to the belt-a notably smart de- tail.

Fetching in deed is a little net blouse Illustrated and an interesting detail is the trim ming of machine embroidery which outlines a Vshaped section at the front. Like many of the new models. this blouse fastens at the back. The sleeves are shirred and pintucked and are drawn in below the elbow with blue ribbons, and blue ribbon appears to draw up the neck, a tiny frill stand ing up daintily from the pintucked edge. The brassiere which sets off this blouse is of white net and wide blue satin ribbon.

Next haste the loops in place, apply the facing and stitch on the machine so
