ootwear and Gloves I BEIGE KID GLOV TO MATCH THE S GIVING A JABOT EFFECT. ARE TRIMMED WITH BEIGE SILK PLEATING ARF, WHICH IS TRIMMED WITH RUFFLING, BY MARY MARSHALL. HE subject of shoes, stockings and gloves never before pre- sented so many or such in- teresting questions as it does this Spring. It is no longer possible to lay down certain definite rules concerning convention and fashion in these twentieth century coverings for our arms and legs, “hands and feet. For instance, You may wear with vour white kid or doeskin afternoon pumps white stockings, nude stock- ings or stockings of a pastel tone to harmonize with the color used in imming your white afternoon frock. One well dressed woman will tell you quite emphatically that the real smartest women are not wearing rude stockings f{vith white shoes this season, another will tell you that old fogies wear all-white s, another will tell you that des matching the dress nming or accessory are quite the latest fashion., having originated among well dressed women at Lido, Venice, last Summer, while others will be as emphatic that with the well sed younger women there Is nothing so smart as the thin nude stocking with white footwear. And perhaps some one else will tell you that all-white footwear isn't so new or so smart as blonde or other natural tones. So you see the clouded. ¢ thing certain and that is that to be well dressed this Spring you have to give painstaking ittention to these details, Whatever plan you adopt with vegard to your white shoes you must follow it out with explicit care. Choose whether vou will wear pure white, flesh or stel to mateh the color of your rock and its accessories, remember- ing that the pure o silk or the . new English lisle that has made its issue is rather Things Which Are of Interest to Younger i &;Nfi “ BY ART CHILDS.

And here again authorities differ. If you follow the fashion of wearing evening slippers of satin just a shade- darker than your frock, then your stockings should be of a pastel shade of the same general tone. 1 ou wear stiver or gold kid or brocade then vour stockings should be of a silvery or golden tone.

Beaded stockings are another nov- elty that appeal to some women being well chosen for evenin and then there are the claborately jew- eled stockings which were first worn s, some of them with clocks outlined with more or less—ususlly ss—precious jewels, one sort with a basket device across ankle and * step outlined in jewels and anot showing a circlet around the for all the world like & dia anklet.

It is at this time that the old woods- men bring out their story of the calio- pode. “Listen to him making his mu- sic ring through the woods,” one of them will gay. “He's a jolly creature, he is. Many's the time I've seen him a-playing. He breathes in through a hollow topknot in his head and breathes out through his long trum- | petlike nose. Then he plays tunes with his fingers on two rows of holes on hig chest. He has about six or seven fingers on each hand, The number changes, I've noticed, with different caliopodes.” Maine’s Dog Teams.

It is left in the tennis locker with the racket and balls, while a higher-heeled shoe is put on for everything but actual participation in sports. Oxfords are chosen by certain well dressec women. Plain opera pumps are considersd smarter than those with straps. While high heels are the rule, on most American shoes the heel is not extreme save for the so- called spike heel that is made for the benefit of the women who want to follow most closely in the wake of Paris. Heels are used as the vehicle for various sorts of trimming, and perhaps this is a good plan, for the brilliant or striking heel detructs from the body of the shoe, making the foot seem somewhat smaller than it is. With gome of the colored satin slippers to be worn with matching frocks there are heels studded with stones of the same color. Amethyst stones richly fret the heel of a violet satin slipper worn with a frock of a somewhat lighter fone of violet. Rhinestones embellish the heels of silver brocade slippers. The light brown or blonde shad: are enjoying considerable popularity for the Spring, but if the choice of well dressed women at Southern re- sorts this season may be taken as prophetic then we must be prepared for a change before long.

The best dressed French women, moreover, ars choosing dark- er beige shad d real brown tones for street w this Spring. Among the extremes favored across the water which will probably never meet with a warm reception among fashionable folk here are the dark green shoes made by some of the leading French shoemakers for wear with the dark green frocks and suits now so much in favor alons the banks of the Seine. Serpent peltry still seems to ap- peal to the shoemakers. Crocodile is ever so smart, while alligator has become a trifie common, which must be good news to the alligator. Lizard is quite all right and cobra is per- fection. These curious skins are vsed to trim daytime shoes and in- cldentally to add greatly to the price of the shoes so adorned. Panther fur in small stripes is used to trim a pair of brown kid slippers for Spring and black broadtall adorne patent leather. One wonders what the shoemakers wifi think of next. But then the furriers used leather lavishly in making some of their wraps last Winter, so it is all fair exchange. * % % x LOVES, like shoes, have been gaining much importance within recent seasons This tendency was especially important with gloves PUZZLE NO, 2.
