FOR FANCY SUPPERS *ASY TO HAVE PAIR TO MATCH ~ EVERY GOWN. By the Use of Rosettes the Pardonable Deception Cannot Be Discovered — Plaited Ribbon Another Btyio of Trimming. One of the delights of the present Bay girl is to have a collect ion of fancy ■Uppers—a pair for almost every gown. Hone of these slippers are plain and many of them are very much decoBated. These decorations can be changed so as to make the same slippers look like something Entirely different. The girl who cannot have as many pairs as she has gowns can make for herself a large collection of rosettes, bows with buckles and various Utile fancy trimmings. Black velvet slippers are used with many gowns and they can have flat white bows with rhinestone buckles or colored chiffon and satin rosea These Uttie flowers are not hard to make. A •trip of the material is folded over and gathered, then twisted in such a way that It looks like the petals of a rose. There is a certain knack in the twisting, and the girl who does not succeed In doing it might take a lesson In making the flowers at an embroidery shop. Another style of trltnthing Is a flat rosette made of finely plaited ribbon. This Is sewed around a small circle of the same ribbon, stiffened and edged with beads. For very full dress occasions a pretty way to trim the slippers fs with little rhinestone butterflies, whose wings stand up. These may be right on the slippers or have a rosette under them. The trimming is often In a .different color from the slippers, so the Ctrl who has a white pair can have chiffon rosettes or flowers in pink, in blue and in yellow to go with gowns of those colors. If the gown has touches of black In its trimming (as so many do now) a better effect is given by using black slippers, either of velvet, —tin or patent leather. The same decorations can be used on those as on the white slippers, and a few strong stitches will hold them in place, so it la quite easy to change them.
