lighted with the wide choice of styles offered for her selection. If she Is a wise little bride-to-be she will give much attention to this part of her trousseau and economize on anything else rather than shoes. Because nothing so quickly and loudly proclaims a woman's taste and fastidiousness or lack of It aa the style and condition of her pedal coverings, i First, she will select a sensible

boot for street wear with the tailored

suit Patent leather, eclipsed for a while by the leathers of dull finish, Is gaining again In favor. Some of the smartest button shoes are fashioned entirely from the patent leather or

patent kid. Many have the cloth top, though these are seen more often on the dressier models. The short Tamp shoe seems to hare won a permanent place In the affections of every woman who likes her foot to look as short as possible, and her name is legion, you may be sure, to that while not so extreme as some of the styles a while ago, the short ramp Is much In evidence. Toes have a tendency to round out a bit, some of the mannish looking models being exaggerated in this respect Gaiters to match the suit, worn with street pumps of calf or patent leathers will be prominent this winter. For wear with the dressy afternoon frock the black patent, turned sole,

with the white kid top, is dashing, ! perhaps too much so for tae conservative taste. It is when she cbooBea the evening Blippers and the dainty bridal pair that the bride-to-be will become enthusiastically admiring. White satin, of course, is preferred for the latter, finished with a tiny bow. One pair fit for a Cinderella had a little true lovers' knot worked out In seed pearls. The Colonial slippers, with buckle of cut steel, rhlnestones, or gilt, is In good taste for evening wear, either in black or a color matching the gown. Very beautiful, If a little bizarre and barbarous, are the slippers of gold or silver cloth, embroidered in metals or silk. These are toned down by a thread of black or color woven Into

the fabric. The embroidering has taken on the popular Oriental charac

ter, In both design and coloring,

though the use of color is usually restricted to one shade bo that the slip

pers may harmonize with the gown. Metal embroidery Is also seen on the satin slippers, while metal buckles of every description ornament street as well as dress slippers. The trousseau will not be complete without at least a pair or two of the adorable boudoir slippers. These may be obtained in a soft fine kid, with a big fluffy pom pom, as low as $1.00. llosiery Suggestions There is a stocking on the market especially designed for the stout woman which is of pure thread silk with mercerized lisle sole and tops, that has extra wide knees and tops and sells for $1.35. Very practical and satisfactory are the "silk boot" stockings, with the soles and entire upper part of lisle. Hosiery of vivid shade, emerald green, cerise, royal purple, crimson, Is permissible for evening wear,, but black or brown continues most desirable for ordinary use,

evolved to meet tbe needs of the average woman, and

probably never will be. This la a per

ennial style, with which the practical

woman could hardly afford to dispense. With long coats so fashionable this season, the separate waist and skirt will find a yet larger field of usefulness, and designers and makers have provided some unusually chic styles in

both garments. Separate skirts, of

course, follow the general lines prevs

lent in suit skirtings. They are of the

same width and much the same cut,-

,plsin gored models, and models with pleats let in at the sides from the

knee down. There are also a few skirts with hems slashed, to show the foot and ankle. This is, however, an

extreme style, and a more popular ar

rangement is the simulated slash.

with a contrasting piece of fabric in

trodaced in a triangular fold beneath

the slashed hem.

The raised waist line continues pop

ular in skirts, the height varying with the taste of the wearer. Many skirts,

however, are contrived in the regular

way with a band at the waist, to be

worn with a fancy belt, or a belt of the skirt material. This style of

skirt might be expected, as a great many of the most fashionable waists

are made with a peptam effect, to be

worn outside of the skirt Others, again, hare very wide folded satin girdle, designed to be worn outside

tbe skirt belt. These waists are sometimes mad with the outer drap

ery and girdle separated from the

lining, which Blips underneath the

skirt belt, while the outer material

and girdle fit over It

Draped and veiled blouses will be as widely worn as ever this winter, nearly all of the dressiest waists being veiled In chiffon. Very handsome waists are designed for afternoon and

evening wear, with separate skirts,

real lace, hand embroidery and bead

ing being the most usual form of dee-

oration.

Sleeves are, for the most part,

three-quarter lengths, -and styles are wen divided between tbe kimona or

seamless shoulder and the set-In, or

seamed variety. Some of tbe new

sleeves are smooth over the shoulder, in kimona lines, and with a puffed section attached a few inches below

reminding one of the sleeves of the basques and Jackets of the I860 days. Strictly tailored waists have often

full length sleeves of tbe set-in vari

ety, finished with the regulation cuff,

Some very dressy lingerie blouses have

also full rength sleeves, with frilled

turned-back cuffs, and high-boned col

lars. ery sort clinging effects are

the rule in waists, as in costumes, and

soft satins, chillies, worsteds and

crepes are therefore favored materials, with chiffons, marquisettes.

vol lie and veilings as over draperies.

A very new arrangement is the wide

side-pleated Jabot, attached to the middle front or right side of tbe fash

ionable lingerie waist and pinned over to the left, crossing the entire front of the waist .This is a renewal of a

pretty and popular style of a few seasons ago, carried, however, to m greater 'extreme, as the new side-

frilled Jabots are a size surpassing

any former efforts along this line.

' Colored chiffon and satin waists, with touches of yarn or silk embroid

ery, fancy beading and gold or silver

trimming, will be much in evidence, though not eclipsing, in any way, the

popularity of plain white, or white with touches of colored embroidery.

A silk or chiffon waist, carrying out the colors of a tailored costume, completes a very charming effect and renders tbe tailored suit almost a wardrobe in itself. Several handsome waists, a wellmade and well.-flttlng skirt and a long coat or wrap, is another good, practical winter outfit or at least a good beginning. The lady of the dainty fingers who delights In fine needle-work, will find abundant play for her pretty fancies In the making and adorning of these handsome and fashionable waists.

"Every time he gets a spot on the tablecloth I have him cover it with a coin. The larger the spot tbe larger tbe coin, and more often than not it takes paper money to cover it all. Then Norah takes up the money when she clears tbe table, and we save it up to buy kitchen utensils." New York Press.:' v-;--
