Show IMPORTANCE OF SMART FOOT GEAR TI1E girl whose foot is small and shapely naturally takes every pains, to Ik? well shod that this point of beauty may be shown to bebt advantage. How- much more important even is it fnr the girl who must acknowledge to a CC or larger to have her shoes always smart and perfectly cared for. It is even more esseuti.il. if possible, for a joung girl w ho still wears whort dresses upon all occasions occa-sions to have her shoes always neat an 3 trim than for her older sister whose skirts are sufficiently long to somewhat hide the feet Boots and slippers can mark good style more conspicuously than any otlu-r deuul of dress. Incidentally they ean show up the wearer's character most amusingly. There is the high heeled, bright buckl.'d walking slipper of the girl who really enjoys en-joys being conspicuous even 'at the expense ex-pense of ge.od taste. The naturally untidy un-tidy nnd disorderly girl is pretty sure to wear boots that would be vastly improved by polish, ure perhaps needful of a button, or if it is a low shoe the string is very apt to be untied. But delightfully characteristic of a certain cer-tain tvoe of girl is a smart calfskin-boot out of fashion, but the average girl whose allowance is small and sho who must darn her own stockings are to-day weit-iog weit-iog shoes that have at least ono pair of eyelets through which n ribbou can be lied The new pumps with large metal buckles nre sfnart for afternoon wear, but 1 the buckle must be considerably modified to be appropriate with a short dress. Talent leather pumps are extremely pretty pret-ty for afternoon and may be adorued with either a Mat leather buckle or one of whit. jutta). Brown shoes are smart to-day wilh practically every shade of walking dress, 'and are t-lso worn by many girls wftb their white frecks throughout the summer. sum-mer. To bring russet shoes to a good color it will repay a girl to cleau and polish them herself, lor if carefully nttended to brown tun leather improves with every polishing. Brown shees and ; stockings really are as much cooler and ' 'more comfort-able to wear in hot we-ather 'as their cipjx-iUMUce leads one to suppose, laud this year they chance to be exce-tioually exce-tioually fashionable. A pair of tceod -,in-set pumps aro nice to have, but the itirl who doi-s any walking at all will find a . pair of tx ford ties far more si-rvicvublo ..r oxford Lie made wiLh heel of sensible height for walking and of a last" not so pointed as to look uncomfortable, nor yotj so squire as to he markedly unbecoming. This last sty le of boot belongs, of eours.i.j to the girl who knows that to be really well dressed the accessories are of utmotj importance. The minor details of drexSi must be in keeping with the frock itself, and for every' costume thrro must be a compromise effected bet ween tin? ultra fashionable aud the purely comfortable. The newest walking nhoes' aro much like the oxford ties of a few years back, but are cut somewhat lower and, having but three eyelets, are fastem-d with ribbon rib-bon rather than the wide silk tape. Tip are secu on the majority of the newest low walking shoes, but titotm tips are of the same leather as tbe rest of the shoe, , not of patent leather. Xo fane-y beading is J advisable, although there may be a nar- , row band of the b".idwork outlining the ' lip mid lordri'ig the top of the shoe.
