For short skirts"bring, shoes and stockings into unavoidable prominence. y It is almost impossible to “hide the darn in .a. pair:of stockings.. In England, where high Wellington hoots are sometimes worn in rainy weather slippers for the evening. Black satin " slippers are wWiost useful and so con- venient. Theyare trim little slippers with slightly rounded vamps and high spike heels—-not very expenaive.

They .give & pretty touch and serve the purpose of keeping the slipper from sipping off. = Or, it you' like, there are little rhinestone buckles, silver or rhinestona buckles might be chosen, but they are better for afternoon. Or you may prefer one of the new little oPnaments con- sisting of a row of dangling rhine- stone pendants—attached to the front, of the slipper where & buckle would be fixed. 3 Quite the newest and the smartest {dea s to have a perfectly unbroken line from toe to knee. This means no buckle or ornament whatever, and several smart womedl have adopted this fad. 7 awever, the shoe dealer is not espeplally interested. He always has a tempting array of ornaments to offer to the woman who is inclined to follow this fashion of greater sim- Pplicity. But_assuredly fashion is working toward greater simplicity in foot ap- parel. Stockings are of the same tone as the shoes. Feet appear less con- spicuous when they are so matched, and there seems to be a definite move- ment on foot to foster smaller feet— or,' at any rate, feet. that appear smaller. Some ‘omen have been wearing flésh-colored satin slippers with flesh- colored stockings. ~ They must be Matched exactly. Others wear shoes and stockings of white, and occasion- ally one sees black satin slippers with very thin black stockings. However, the' contrasting stocking remains in favor with many and is certainly not likely to pass speedily from fashion. There are flesh-colored stockings with a slightly orchid cast that meet with smart women's approval. The reptile still persists in day- time fashions, and the fact that cheaper shoes have appeared in countless numbers made of “lizard” skin of calf origin does not seem to have spoiled the fashion so much as one might have expected. All sorts of unusual skins are in fashion— ostrich - skin, lizard, snake. And if some :fortunate explorer could but come upon some well preserved dodo skin or dynosaur hide surely women would all want to wear it. On.the one hand thiere is the move- ment in favor of simpler and simpler footgear, and on the other the effort on the part of some of the - ers to make these things more bisarre and more elaborate. Sometimes a single pair of shoes shows three or four different sorts of leathers and Is Breakfast the They say that a chainis only as strong as its weakest link; and if this truth applies to the chaifi 6f manners, then we mre no better bred than W& ‘would'indicate by the way we behave at breakfast in the bosom of our own family. . For every one's breakfast manners -aré hig worst, and a good many peoplé forget that manners, ke charity, begin at home. There are some otherwise very .well mannered persons who simply can’t show much courtesy or.consideration at breakfast. They are so constituted physically that they come to breakfast in a sort of a daze and don't entirely awake from their night’s slumbers till after the morning meal. From such persons an extra effort is required if they would . strengthen this weakest link. In homes where attention is paid to the cultivation of good iners children are taught to greet their parents at the breakfast table with a - morning, father,” or “Good morning, mother.” Needless to say, the parent so addressed should answer as courteously to the child. There is nothing more discouraging to the cultivation of good manners than the appearance at breakfast of members of ‘the. family in sloppy at- tire. and .morning disarray. To be sure, among women of wealth and lefsure—whose neglige attire is as stockings one must wear care and buy as expensive stockings ble—for. the :cheaper the of stockings. ray § for favor. l:‘g:fllltmm-mnb 1y understood that the belge .tones | are better for the French woman or the woman with French coloring, while gray does Better for the woman with so-calied English tones—that is, the lghter; fairer, ruddier your skin, the better you appear in gray and the worse you look in beige. . The French dressmaker who recently ob- served that gray was a neurasthenic color was undoubtedly one of the bru- nettes who find it trying to wear. The woman who selects & gray cos- tume wisely wears gray shoes with gray stockings—usually the sh are a trifle darker in tone than the stock- ings. The flesh-colored stocking, un- less it is decidedly pink, does not look well with the gray shoe, and many women mar the effect of what would otherwise be a charming en- semble by wearing’ the wrong stock- dng with the gray frock. Long-vamped, pointed shoes wifh Louis heels have been worn in Eng- land far more than in France. For some reason or other many English women seem to feel that they im- prove the effect of their naturally broad feet by wearing pointed shoes. Moreover, they have always found very high heels uncomfortable. The French woman, on the other hand, finds that a really high heel may be comfortable enough if her shoe is not made with too much of & point. ‘There are always such radical differ- ences as this between the fashions that prevail on the two sides of the rough channel. No word is golig about that Span- ish heels are about to return, but will wear them or not it is hard to say. At the races and other notable out- door events in England this Summer smart women have shown a special liking for shoes of a sauterne color. ‘When the costume was gray or with & gray background then shoes and stockings have been gray.

If there is one thing more than another that tends to discourage the cultivation of courteous family break- fast manners it is the appearance at that time of a carelessly donned eider- down breakfast jacket, or other neg- lige, that has been doing service in the kitchen, and a cap that indicates all too plainly that it is donned to conceal \unkempt locks.
