wrought to hosiery by the demure but destructive pump which has abated not a jot In popularity and maintaining In a state or immaculate purity her white canvas and buckskin boots, it looks like a busy seaaon for tbe woman who keeps up with the fashions. But to give tbe shoemaker his due,

never has be turned out such fasclnafi

lng footwear as tbe shops will show this season. From tbe trim street boot to the dainty evening slipper the Models show elegante of contour, and

style. For early spring wear the buttoned boot will be favored with the tailored suit and even with the dressy costume. These continue to be made with tbe medium short vamp, of tbe dull leathers or the patent kid with cloth or kid tops. Many of the street shoes chow tbe high stub toe, although this feature is not carried to the extreme, and the straight tip and the Cuban heel prevail. Tan and brown leathers will be In greater demand than ever on account of tbe vogue for various shades of tan in suits and gowns. Among the higher grade shoes will be found those having tbe gaiter top, whose neat qualntness has endeared them to the smartly dressed woman. These are very attractive when tbe gaiter tops match the color of the frock with which they

are worn. The gaiter idea has also been adapted to the low shoe, and those who care for button effects in the low shoe will find a pretty style which has the three buttons cleverly placed at tbe. side. But It is tbe white shoe that is in the spot light, so to speak. In canvas or in buckskin they are being shown in a great variety of styles. There is the high boot of sixteen button length, in either canvas or buck; there is the comfortable oxford, of five eyelets, the perennial pump and the pretty Colonial slipper with its leather or metal buckle. There Is a marked revival of tbe Colonial effects for both evening and street wear. And now a word about the even

ing and dancing slipper. Metal and

beaded styles have the preference, al though the light kids and satins, usu

ally with a beaded toe design, will no doubt be worn later on with the lingerie gowns. A practical choice Is the black satin slipper, or the bronze, either of which look well with any color of gown. HOSIERY HELPS. Colonial styles in footwear are responsible for the wearing of white or light colored hose with slippers, and sometimes with the high boots. Embroidered effects are gaining steadily in favor. Champagne and tan shades will be seen, worn not onlyvwith toilettes of the same, but with black low soes and gowns of contrasting color. Black lace stockings are pretty with the plainer black satin slippers. Flesh color bose are a daring novelty that will continue to be worn by the woman who likes startling effects.

presto! you have the fashionable frock for the young girl. Both in suits and gowns the modes for the misses follow very closely those of her elders, and most becoming are this season's straight, simple lines, dashing rever effects and quaint fichu conceits, to the slight, girlish figures.

One feature of the young girl's street suit, which is more marked, perhaps, than in the grown-up models, is the use of lace as a trimming. It is usually in the form of detachable collar and cuffs the Irish and renise laces being well liked but several smart styles show tbe lace worked into the sailor collar and rever effects in interesting fashion. Illustrative of this idea was a blue serge suit over whose broad revers of the serge turned back an allover sailor collar, of Venise lace, the back of it, however, being entirely covered by the deep collar of black satin, in the rounded sailor form, that fell over it, and was fastened to the back; of tbe coat with flat frogs of soutache braid.

A pretty finish Tor the jaunty little cutaway coats, which is seen to a great extent In the adult suits, also, is the scalloped edge. The entire bottom of the coat, and the fronts to the lowest button, are cut in shallow scallops about three inches across, which are bound with a narrow soutache braid. In white serge, which had a hair line stripe of black, the effect was especially good. The cunning garments for the wee kiddies this season show a wide variety of styles. There are sailor suits and Russian blouse suits for tbe tiny men, and kilted styles and quaint curpi ice designs for small sister. The twopiece effects will be much worn this summer. These consist of a plaited skirt joined to an underbody, and an overblouse made usually in kimona style. These may be worn with or without a belt, but they are particularly pretty when finished' with one of the wide patent leather belts, which are seen on so many of the little frocks. For the play dresses the heavy materials are favored linen, rep, pique, and washable corduroy. Many of these are quite plain except for the seal loped edges, which are machine em

broidered and which form a neat ft isb for neck, sleeve and skirt Plaids, In delicate colors, in the chambray or gingham, are often made very simply so that with them may be worn sailor collars and cuffs of sheer embroidery), lace edged. A pale pink and green plaid with a deep, cross-ever collar and wide cuffs of sheer hand embroidered batiste, had a quaint note introduced in the inch-wide knlfeplcatlng of the plaid gingham which was carried around tbe lower edge of tbe belt ' Some of the new coats show a clever adaptation of the cutaway style 'to modish In womeu's garments. . Large collars and revers continue in favor as does likewise ' the side closing. , nd . nothing less than adorable is the little tot's spring bonnet with the rose or ribbon on it Bonnet shapes, with stiff little ornaments of feather or ribbon, or faced with soft chiffons and trimmed with prim little posies, are the most alluring styles for the very small child. For the older girl are the small straw hats, flower trimmed, the serviceable pique hats, the close little bonnet hats, and the dainty lingerie hats, with a rose or two nestled here and there la the fiimineas.
