ANT01NKTTK BIIOK WASHINGTON SHOE.
Tlio Antoinette shoo, Illustrated in tlio cut,
has tho high Louis XVI heel nnd pointed
toe. It can bo mndo of intent orghicokld,
with a pieco of colored morocco nppllipicd to
tho top nil round, except across tho too piece,
whero it becomes distinct nud forma n baud
nbovo tho instep. Ily means of n cunningly
inserted clastic, this exactly fits tho foot, nud
even whero tho instep Is not high, it give)
tho appearance of height by n dip in tho last,
It is peculiarly comfortable, nud shows oir
tho foot 16 tho bast advantage. Tho baud Is
hidden by n largo Ikmv of shaded, striped and
shot ribbon, two nml n half inches wide,
matching tho kid baud, nud cnpablo of end
lew variety to suit nny dress. Tho remain
ing flguro In the samo cut shows a graceful
form of shoo known to sonto as tho Wash
ington. Bomo dellcalo slippers of striped whlto
Suede and galon had Buedo heels nud n cut
steel button. On (lit, theso slippers may bo
cleaned by powdered chalk; otherwiso they
would bo costly wear, l'nlo grnySuedo i"s
also used, nud grny nnd pnlo fawn in onllnnry
glovo kid, with somo ornamental button.
I'asto ornaments adorn many of tho full
dress slipiiers. Bomo uncommon bedroom
slippers nro of Chinese brocado and em
broidery, corrcsiwnding but not exactly
matching.
Tho tenuis shoes of tho reason nro of soft,
good wearing leather, with nnklo straps.
But for those who do not fancy tho straps
thero nro tho liiml one. There nro two spo
clal styles of shoe, which nro adapted for
both outdoor nnd indoor wenr. Ono is tho
"Langtry," which is pointed n la ltaleigu,
has n flap on tho instep nnd n particularly
well tied bow of wide ribbon, which gives n
smart look and is Incoming to a neat foot.
Tho heels nro tho Louis XV high nnd
rather small. This slmio is carried out for
wearing with light drones nt fetes, etc., in ft
cream colored morocco, with a fancy
"wafer " surface, td w ith ribbon exactly
matching; nlso in n darker shado called
"Russet," which is more fcervlceable. The
other stylo is tho "Cromwell," n modified re
production of tho tan colored leather that
was nITocted by Cromwell's followers in tho
commonwealth dayj, nud nlso n modified
copy of tho style. It Is neat looking, nnd
tho sldo pieces, whlehjoomo up over tho high
flap, meet on tho instep in n hnndsonio
buckle of old oxidized bilver. This fashion
is nlso carried out in a novel embossed
leather, such ns dark brown on a palo
ground, or dark blue on a light one. Tho
"Leander" is an Oxford shoo in patent
leather, perforated In nn clfcctiro way to
show n red or pale Uuo leather which forma
the top of tho bhoo, and shows nil round ntul
on tho too enp through the perforation.

Among tho ninny letters of Inquiry ro
wired during tho palt week is tlio following!
"Last year I mndo n trip abroad, and among
other trophies of my visit to tho Old World
I secured a lino specimen of n, mummy, for
which I paid soventy-flvo seudl. While
showing It to a friend last week I discovered
thnt tho nlrof Illinois is detrimental to it
and that disintegration Is taking place. Can
you tell me what is Hie can,-? and ittiat I had

InUctr'
You havo no doubt paid ut least reventy
four scudl too much for your mummy, m
mummies go. Nothing Is more dishearten
ing than tho discovery that one's mummy Is
not standing our harsh American cllmato.
But tho chances nro that you lmvo tho
modern stylo ot mummy, mndo psieclally
for Americans by the trade. Ho is not an
antique, and before August you will havo to
decide- whether to cast lilm nsldo or let him
run the house. The gonulno ninuimy hu

that wo nro running short, nnd spurious

died recently aro flooding tho niaiket, A

and tho legend, "Itlchnnl Mngiuuls, Valpa
raiso, Iud., 18.VI." A mummy thnt has to !o
kept in the refrigerator Is a bitter, bitter dis
appointment, nnd no doubt yoiurs Is of thnt
class, Tho modern methods of preserving
people do not in nil cases provo satisfactory,
nud I do not know of anything moro pitiful
or moro humiliating than whllo explaining
your mummy to n coterio of friends tu tho
library to hnvo him explode oil your hands
and rovenl his true Identity. Should disin
tegration continue. In tho ratio of your own
mummy, a privato funeral is the Lest thing I
could suggest. Let It be n plain nffnir, open
ing with n select rending or recitation, fol
lowed by n vocnl solo nud ft set-to betwoen
somo good artist nud tho piano. You could
chnrgo n small admission fee, perhaps, which
would go toward defraying expenses, nnd
close with a parade, nnd torrent of grief at the
grave.
Tho wanton destruction of inummlea and
and their wholesale importation to this coun
try whero thoy havo been ground up and
used ns fertilizers,
Is going to mako
good mummies
scarce and high.

by means of dead inonarohs and the dust ot
heirs presumptuous to tho throno of Egypt,
you can safely predict that mummies will be
mummies before snow files again. You
can't cat your cake and keep it, too. Neither
can you turn out a mummy in Connecti
cut in two days which will tako the
placo of tho real thing. A judge of
thoso things will toll you at once that
tho bouquet is different. There is
not tho samo nut brown flavor and odor
of poorly ventilated Hncngo about tho Con
necticut mndo mummy that thero is about
tho Egyptian Job. Tho Egyptians had a way
of curing tboir.peoplo a good deal tho samo
as our physician 1 havo now, viz.! by filling
them with high priced drugs. Our physi
cians, however, begin on a man before lie
dies, while tho Egyptians, Instead of printing
bulletins about thin people, showing what
their respiration and tomjieraturo were, and
a largo amount ot sick room gossip, which a
man hates to read after he has recovered,
just waited around until the gentleman had
been pcrmittod to dlo quietly in his own way,
surrounded by his family, and then they
came in and cured him, so that 011 tho morn
ing of tho resurrection a tooth brush and a
Turkish bath would makebim look like a nsw
man.
The American bison and tho Egyptian
mummy aro fading away. The day will soon
como when thoso who havo slaughtered
wholo herds of buffalo for their tongues and
fertilized their timothy sod with the dust of
dynasties will go hungry. Wo may think
that an Egyptian cemetery has no bottom to
it and that a true fUsuro vein ot theso peoplo
is practically inoxbausttblo, but some day tho
foreman working on tho lower lorel will
como to tho surfaco and state in hoarse ac
cents that tho pay streak has pinched out
Tho differenco between a gas well, for in
stance, and a deposit of emperors, is that tho
latter is not scL-sustalning. A gas well
may contlnuo to givodown or give up, as the
caso may be, for hundreds of years, but you
cannot dig up kings and queens forever.
Bomo day you aro certain to dig below their
set and strlko another strata of society.
Embalming is a process worthy of tho dark
ages. It is expensive, foolish, useless and
highly injurious to tho comploxlon. I am
bitterly opposed to it. My own notion about
