"A Bhow of shoes," continued Mttlo Olrl

"Illght you are, my dear," quoth tho
plump matron across tho fairy barrier of
forns aud yellow tulips, "but I am down on
tho newly revived fancy for high heels.
YcBtcrday I, too, went to buy a pair of pretty
dress shoes and tho man who groveled before

fashion that nono but the highest heeled
Oxfords with what is called an egg-shaped

me, made of black satin-surfaced cloth,
brightened with stitched straps, and a toe
cap of patent leather.

will cling to tho moro mianly typo of Bhoo,
and whllo I debated nervously whether or
no I should go back to tho tliralldom of stilt
liko heels and cramped toes, n woman swam
graciously as u swan down tho alslo of tho
shop, sank into a velvet lined chair, lifted
her skirts a bit and ordered a pair of tics

u moat comely robo of that newest of thu

the chlldllko extremity slipped nnd laced Into
one of those pompudour shoes I boldly
ordered a pair for myself. TIiub," softly
moaned tho youthful matron, helping herself
a second timo to chocolate mousse, "vanity
doth make cowards of us nil."

"Well, my heart for once Is light and

"The luck Is so often on your elite,"
solemnly remarked a handsome lunchcr In
second mourning, "and a woman should
bo able to bear anything when sho wears
so good a gown aw yours." Tho hostess
blushed delicately with pleasure, for It was
n good gown. Tho skirt of sago-green cloth
laid in fnn tucks from a few inches below

straight collar-band of coral velvet enriched
with laco nppllquo and a big bow of cream

tho front of tho garment, all lent their ef

"It Is a rather pretty little thing," ad

Mrs. Back-Bay, who was eating $10-a-pound

they had been baked beads, "but In spite of
my lofty Ideals and my Interest In things
literary, I fell plump from tho artistic
empyrean into a state of vulgar material de

tell you, a gown that disturbed my serenity

"I guess," spoke up Miss Chlcagoeso from
her end of the table, "that It was blue."
"Right, my dear."
"And it was encrusted with lace," mldc-d
Mrn. Van Knickerbocker.

"I seo you girls know what Is going to bo

GOOD TIMKH, (iOOIJ CLOTHES.
Sonic 'Wonderful Statistics of Dress
Compiled li- the Government.
Society wears a bettor bonnet, a finer
Bilk dress and richer Jewelry than It did
a year ago. It Is clothlns Itself In finer
furs from France and drinking a great
deal moro champagne. For society Is feel
ing tho benign and cxpaueive elfects of good
times and returning prosperity. It is a com
mon delusion that tho dlumond buyer is
qulto beyond tho touch of poverty, that
sho dresscn ns well ono year as another,
that she drives as well and entertains as
lavishly, "but nothing could bo further from
tho truth. Indeed society is the first to
skimp when hard times begin to pinch.
When railroad earnings fall off the railroad
prlnco confides that fact first to bis wife
aud Mrs. Railroad Prince concludes not to
buy that set of furs until next winter,
whereas Mrs. Common Person, who doesn't
know that railroad receipts havo fallen off,
keeps right on buying for a year or two more
nnd then she, too, begins to eklmp.
Now, theso assertions are not mere sup
petitions. Tho Treasury department of tho
United States keeps n very complcto set of
books In which some of thefe secrets of so
ciety aro set flown In tho coldest and tho
blackest of type. Society may do Its beat
to keep up appearances, put a certain easily
obtainable fat book of figures shows re
morselessly Just whnt tho condition of so
ciety really Is. Just now It Is revelling in
all manner of luxuries after a long Lent of
hard times. Indeed, never before In tho his
tory of tho United Stntcs was there such a
rush to buy lino raiment, flno Jewelry, ex
pensive wines, rich tapestries nnd art goods
and elegant furniture, ns there is this last
year of tho century. Indeed, nover boforo
was tho human race, or at least the upper
strata of It, bo surrounded by the trappings
of luxury. A few figures will ehow better
than anything else tho present craze of the
American public for buying flno things,
Our JiMvelrv Iteconl,
Ten years ngo, according to the reports
of tho United States Treasury department,
wo were contented with nbout $U,000,000
worth of .foreign diamonds und jewelry
which are bought largely In Holland nnd
France. That was tho sum we expended In
1890, 1S91 and 1S92. Then came tho great
crash of 1S93 aud a period of hard times.
Even society had to have Its bread and meat
and so it cut down on tho luxuries. In ISO t
the total amount expended abroad for Jewelry
was only $6,000,000, a reduction from tho
years of prosperity of over $8,000,000. In
1805 nnd 1S9G socloty revived a llttlo and
spent $S, 000.000 each year and then camo
the blackest darkness of hard times 1S97
and this expenditure actually sunk to lea
than $3,500,000. Think of society content
ing itself with such a bagatelle of Jewelry In
one jear! Hut good times were already on
tho way. In 1S9S the foreign Jewelry bill
amounted to over $10,000,000, and then came
1S99 with society perched high on the crest
of the prosperity wavo and spending nearly
$18,000,000 for Imported Jowelry about
live times as much as the expenditure:)
of two years before nnd by all odds tho
greatest sum in tho history of tho nation.
And that sum does not Include, of course,
tho Immcnso sums spent for homa-niado
Jewelry, and, It must bo whispered, for
smuggled Jowelry. Diamonds nlono Jumped
from a baro $2,000,000 in 1897 to over
$12,000,000 lu 1SP9. Was there ever a
bettor argument that prosperity has como
again?
Fluctiiiit Ions of Hie lloiinel.
And then thero is tho matter of bonnets
and hats. Not only was thero a larger num
ber purchased lu 1899 than cvor before, but
the quality was finer. France sent us moro
creations than ever before. Our bill for for
eign bats In 1899 wns nearly $2,500,000, 1200,
000 more than in 1898, nnd nearly $500,003
more than In 1897 showing that, lu splto of
tho skill of the American bonnet craftsman,
French art Is still popular.
Society also used moro foreign perfumery
und cosmetics In 1S99 by nearly $100,000
' worth than In ISPS, tho total bill reaching
moro than $300,000. Hut tho fat book shows
1 still another thing nbout perfumery which
Mill be found curious, If not significant. In
asmuch as It nnswei'3 tho question, "Are
perfumery and cosmetics going out of style?
All during tho hard times of 1S95-G-7 Ameri
cans spent moro than (000.000 a year on
these articles of feminine Indulgence, tho
amount In lS'JT reaching within $2,000 of the
great total of 700.noo. Then came 1S3S the
first year of prosperity with only $132,000
sent abroad for foreign perfumery a dif
ference In a single year of nearly $300,000.
i It was certainly a case In which 111 a frown
I of society meant a decided money loss.
I Another curious thing which this de
le Idedly inuttcr-of-fnet aud unf.islilounblo fat
book shows In that prosperity and fashion
arc making tho silk dress aud tho silk lin
ings far moro popular than ever before,
whllo tho Imported woolen drers is actually
less popular In splto of good times. In
18U7 we bought between $7,000,000 nnd
$,000,000 of silk dress goods in foreign
lauds. In 1S9S the amount jumped to over
$10,000,000 and In 1S!I!) to $13,000,000. In
ofhor words wo spent nearly double tb
nmount for silk dresses last year that wo
did two years before. And It niny bo In
teresting to know that a good deal moro
than half of this fine apparel came directly
from France, showing that there Is no de
cline in tho popularity of Trench styles.
Woolen dress goods netunlly fell oft In ISO'.),
our foreign bill In that year being only
$5,90.",000, compared with $0,030,000 In 1S9S.
CliniiKivi lii the Km- Market,
I And thero is tho matter of foreign furs,
another luxury which Is now much in favor.
Hack In 1SU7 wo could afford only $0,000,000
worth, but In 1S9S wo bought nearly $8,000,
000 worth and in 1S99 nearly $11,000,000
worth certainly a most extraordinary in
crease. And In this connection, too, tho
dry fat book contains an important fashion

market. English furs wero the fashion as
they still aro to some extent. But see what
the figures show. Our business with Great
Britain Jumped only $300,000 between 1807
and lSltfl from $1,07C,000 In 1S97, which was
greater at that time than the business of
nny other nation, to $1,373,000 in 1830, where
as our purchases from Franco actually
doubled, making tho totnl amount of fur
money paid that country lu 1890 over f 1.S00.
000, or $300,000 more than the business with
England a good record for fashion's dic
tates in two years. Herman furs nro also
coining Into great popularity, our purchases
Jumping from $730,000 in 1S97 to over
$1,133,000 In 1899 a total very nearly equal
to that of Great Britain. Wo also buy moro
furs than ever beforo In Belgium, the
nmount having moro than doubled in tho two
years from 1S97 to 1S99, nlthough tho total
Is Btlll under $300,000. Why French and
German furs havo be;omo so suddenly popu
lar to tho detriment of English furs the fat
book does not say, but society must havo
Its own good reasons and fashion must bo
followed oven when it leads away from the
Anglo-Saxon.
Fluor Fore I mi (,'Iovch,
And then thero U the question of gloves.
Are imported gloves growing less popular
than they used to bo or aro our homc-mado
gloves moro styliHh, or In fashion less strict
as to tho wearing of gloves? Certain it is
that the American pcoplo aro spending much
lfs money abroad on this article of attire.
From 1S90 to 1S97 all through tho hurd
times our glove money wavered between
$6,000,000 nnd nearly $8,000,000 a year, never
falling below $0,000,000 except in ono year,
IS!) I, and exceeding $7,000,000 in two yoars
1893 and 1S90. But when 1S9S nnd good
times came again with more money to buy
flno gloves tho amount expended suddenly
decreased from nearly $7,000,000 in 1897 to
only $5,7W).000 In lS'.iS a lohs of over $1,000,
000. Last year, 18'JU, showed a slight Im
provement, but the amount was still a good I
deal short of $0,000,000. In passing It Ih in- I
tcresting to unto that Germany keeps Its
popularity in the finest supply of ordinary
gloves, but the finest nnd most fnshlonnblo
makes como from Paris. Wo bought last
year about $2,000,000 worth of gloves from
Germany.
Society is furnishing ltn homo moro
elegantly than ever before. Tho very best
furniture. In the world Is mado right hero
in tho United States, antiques, heirlooms
nnd nil, but the Importation of mahognny,
used in tho manufacture of tho finest furni
