Slippers Are the Latest Whim of Dame Fashion

f on the Increase for several sea-
sons, but a running survey of the
Jilyf reason's supply of evening s!lp
" tiers and house shoes would lead
one to believe that the tendency had
reached high water mark.
Never before within the memory of this
generation has there been such variety
and extrsxassnre In dress slippers and
hoes, and though the average woman
goes on wearing her practical and econom
ical l atent, leather or black kid allpper for
ordluary occasion and dona a light plain
atln ullpper when ahe really needs to be
rand, a surprising number of women
plunge into startling extravagance In the
matter of footwear.
Take, for example, the evening slippers
et the fashionable woman, fine must have
a pair to match every evening frock and
it la qulta possible that she will need more
than cne pair to accompany a single frock
through a season's wear.
Kvcn were these slippers all In plain
atln they would represent a considerable
outlny t-f money, but she does not confine
herself to plain slippers. By no means.
h dclres origlnallt In slippers as In
frock, and she may perhaps have slippers
specially made and embroidered for her,
or aba miy find something to match her
frock among tha beautiful embroidered
atln slippers or the embroidered slipper
designs not yet made up.
She will pay anything from $15 to ICO
for atlsfylng her hobby; but that Is a
secondary consideration; and the shoe
makers say that women will now pay
without a murmur prices that would have
startled even the most lavish of stage
beauties a few years ago. These same
tage beauties are, of course, among the
bei patrons of the maker of costly slippers
and sheen, but the smart society woman
Bow rivals the actress In the matter of
unusunl and beautiful slippers, and the
fashions ble el oenihkers are straining every
norve ta satisfy tho demand for originality
and beatity In their wares.
Hand embroidery la a fad In the realm '
cf evening slippers as In .all the province
f dress, and In any of the first-class shoe
hops one may now see slipper designs In
all fashionable colorings and exquisitely
embroidered In silks, paillettes, beads and
van Jewels. The satin Is cut In slipper
Shape and embroidered on the toe, but
Hot made up until sold, when, of course. It
Is made to fit the purchaser.
Often the back of the slipper is em
broidered, too, though not so elaborately
as the toe. and In some instances the heel
itself Is embroidered. There are supplied,
too, overheels of gold in a graceful open
design which fit over the satin heel, the
color of the satin showing through the
design of the gold work.
These are really gold not silver gilt
and may be used again and again upon
Various slippers. One New York woman
sound among her Christmas presents this
year a pnlr of white satin slippers whose
toes were embroidered In gold thread de
s'gn set with little opals, while the heels
were overlaid with gold metal in an open
design matching the embroidery of the toe.
The slippers were In an embroidered oatln
slipper bsg and the present represented ITS
In money.
Many gray slippers have been sold this
winter as a result of the popularity of that
color, and one firm of shoemakers has an
exceptionally large assortment of unique
slippers In gray gray satin, gray velvet,
but most often gray suede.
Some of the prettiest of these gray slip
pers are elaborately embroidered In tiny
steel beads, while others are embroidered
In silver and gold, or In shades of gray
silk, merely touched with glints of sliver
or of steel. What looks like a gray pearl
is also used for embroidering the gray ma
terials. One very pretty and not particu
larly expensive gray slipper is of gray
suede, with a small once-tied bow of the
suede bordered by a double line of little
gray pearls.
Velvet slippers In all the popular shades,
light and dark, are well liked, and a plain
velvet slipper, with no trimming save a tiny
Jewelled buckle or single large rhlnestxxia
at the toe, is extremely smart. Such a
slipper In blpck is much worn, and tha
deep violets in this model are particularly
attractive,
A firm noted for its evening slippers has
been snowing some velvet slippers which
are rather too radical to suit the conserva
tive, but are much less startling than one
would imagine from the description, and
are really beautiful. They are quite plain
save for a large single rhlnestone at the
toe and for ornnmental heels, which are the
amatlng features of the model.
These heels are covered with the velvet,
but set In them so that their surfaces are
on a level with the velvet surface are rhlne
stones. which twinkle merrily In the som
ber setting. Most poetic dancing slippers,
assuredly, but, as we have said before, a
trifle loo unusual for the conservatives.
There are charming things In cut work
kid slippers, embroidered along the edges
of the open work design In little beads
gold, silver, steel or crystal, and some of
the black suede, velvet or satin slippers are
very effectively embroidered in brilliant cut
jet
Plain gold, or, rather, glided, heels are
put upon many of the evening slippers In
whlto or delicate color, the tone of the slip
per boing embroidered In gold or flniShed
with a' little gold buckle or ornament.
There are, too, a large number of gold
slippers, made of glided kid or of cloth of
gold, and these have been quite popular for
evening wear with frocks embroidered In
gold or made over gold cloth or tissue.
Cloth of gold may be used for the body
of the slipper, with an Inch wide border
and little bow of gold Uld for finish, and
there are white, black and colored slippers
which have similar lines of gold leather at
the tops and little gold bows.
Silver slippers are also worn, though they
tarnish so readily that a slipper matching
a frock trimmed In silver is usually pre
ferred to an all silver slipper for wear
with a frock trimmed In silver.
There are msny little novelties In toe
ortonsnte for slippers, but none is particu
larly surprising and the novelty usually
consiMk In a new buckle design or some
slignt variation In the tying of a little knot
of satin or leather or chiffon. A single rose
made of satin Is a pretty finish for the toe
of the slipper In the same satin, and a 'small
cluster of satin roses or other artificial
flowers Is as well liked as ever.
The small chou of chiffon matching the
slipper and with a little brlllKnt ornament
at Its heart does not go out of fashion, and
stunning big buckles of strass or of metal
and jewels are provided for the embellish
ment of slippers and house shoes made
with high tongues. A particularly smart
pair of slippers were of black velvet, per
fectly plain and made with high pointed
tongue piece. Big round buckles of strass
through which folds of velvet were passed
decorated the somber but beautifully cut
Uppers.
High boots in white and light colors, espe
cially gray, have been worn mora than
ever before off the stage this season, and
patent leather or kid boots with very light
colored uppers have been popular, though
not practical. One sees occasionally boots
with black vamps and checked uppers,
but these are more blxarra than admirable,
save perhaps where the check matches
the costume.
A new boot advanced by some of the good
makers laces up the Inside Instead of up
the front. Tho boot top Is made in very
soft, flexible kid and molds attractively to
a pr?try foot and ankle, but there is little
chance of any wide acceptance for this
mode!.
There K too, a modernised congress
gaiter with clnstlo In the sides, but this Is
another idea not likely to make much Im
pression. Bhaded pearl shoe buttons, har
monlitng with the colored cloth uppers of
certain boots, are pretty, and even upon
black boots one sees sometimes a pearl
button, black at the edges, but shading to
an Iridescent gray at the center.
Pumrs continue to find favor; but the
shoemakers have altered the cut so that,
being higher and more closely fitted at the
bnck of the heel, the pumps stay on, the foot
better thnn they originally did. I'nfor
tunately many of these high back models,
unless extremely well made, cut Into the
heel and are far from comfortable.
Patent leather low shoes on the order of
pumps but finished around the tops with
bands of stitched cloth matching the cos
tume are considered very chic, and there
are low shoes with low vamps and blucher
like fronts fastening over an Inner top of
eolored cloth or suede matching the hose.
As a general thing the vamps are shorter
and lower than they have been In recent
years, but such a cut Is not becoming to
many feet, and It will not be universally
adopted. The high brown boots which
have been worn this winter promise to stay
in favor throughout the summer, and the
makers ore preparing for a big brown
leather season.
Last summer word had gone out that
brown shoes would not be fashionable, and
no one had large storks of them; but the
women would have them, and there, was
trouble In shoemaklng quarters. This sea
son the makers will be prepared, but It
remains to be seen whether fickle woman
will again clamor for brown leather.

I 1 cord between husband and wife
I and Is one of the most Drollflc
cauaeB or divorce, is me con
clusion reached by Judge Wil-
lard AlcEwen of Chicago, who supports his
conclusion with statistics. Judge McEwen
is one of the judges of the superior court
of Cook county and hears more tales of
domestic woe In one month than all other
judges of that court.
Figures compiled by the jurist show that
out of 200 applications for decrees which
were presented since November 16, in 125
cases conjugal unhapplncss was the out
come of a childless home.
Following up this line of Investigation,
the Judge has observed that the childless
home also Is responsible far drunkenness
on the part of the husband, as in most of
the Instances where the childless wife
sought divorce from her husband she has
accused the defendant of habitual drunken
noes. A table kept by Judge McEwen during
the last two months shows the following
to be the causes for the decrees which
he has granted to the 200 persons who
have appeared before him:
No children and drunkenness US
No children and cruelty 10
Another woman and desertion 25
Another man and desertion 10
Religious conflict 9
Jealousy U
Lazy husband 15
Dubious past
The list shows also that of 200 complain
ants more than 60 per cent were women,
but the Judge explains that this does not
Indicate that the man usually is the of
fender. When, for une reason or another,
a husband and wife -eparate, he says, tha
the husband usually "will allow his wife to
get the divorce, and in these cases the
charge as a general rule is based on de
sertion. Incompatibility of temper. Judge Mc
Ewen declares, is a misnomer. "There Is
no such thing," he says, "and when this
explanation Is given for a couple's sepa
ration it la safe -to say there is another
woman or another man in the case."
The subject of ages also Is gone Into by
Judge McEwen In his Investigation and
the figures kept by him show that per
sons between thirty and forty years of
age are more likely to seek divorce than
are those who are older or others who
have not reached the age of thirty yeara.
Taking the 200 cases upon which the
figures were computed, the judge finds
that mora than two-thirds of tha com
plainants and defendants in those suits
were between thirty and forty years old
Ages of the others ranged between twenty
five and thirty yeara. and there were
very few who had passed the forty mark
to seek a dissolution of the marital bonds.
Why Girl Help is Sourer.
A New York paper recently contained an
article upon the growing difficulty of se
curing help for the lagje department
stores. - Hotels are complaining about tha
scarcity of mnlds and of waiters, and there
is the everlasting wall about the lack of
household servers. Do they vanish into thin
air? Not at all. The secret of their mys
terious and steadily Increasing disappear
ance is solved, writes Harriet Qulnley In
Leslie's Weekly. They go on the stage.
The hundreds of musical comedies playing
in New York and throughout the country
swallow up these girls and men by the
thousands. There are at present being pro
duced in New York alone twelve musical
plays, in which from 100 to 200 girls are
employed in the chorus, and at the Hippo
drome 400 or 500 girls and several hundred
men find constant employment.
One reason of this stampede to the foot
lights is that it means more money. Few
girls in shops earn more than $10 a. week
and the great majority earn considerably
less, while the homeliest kind of a chorus
girl commands at least $15 a week, with
costumes furnished. If she happens to be
pretty and Is a good dancer she earns at
first $20 or $25, and often more. From the
writer's point of view, the shop work,
even with Its low wages, is preferable to
the life of the chorus girl, which Is any
thing but beer and skittles; but to those
t who only see the glar of the footlights
and hear the music of stage life, the chorus
opens up a sort of perpetual fairyland to
their mental vision. Despite the hard work
and the hardships which form a part of
the chorus girl's life, there is undoubtedly
a fascination In It and few that have once
entered upon it care to desert It for other
work.
Training; of Parents.
It has been a long time since the Na
tional Congress of Mothers has contributed
anything to the gayety of the nation, and
it is refreshing to note that that organiza
tion has resumed operations on a highly
promising scale. The proceedings of the
congress are always full of Interest, aays
the Kansas City Journal, not only from the
standpoint of the solemn delegates them
selves, but also from the Irreverent pub
lic's point of view. To be sure, most of the
merriment arises from that portion of tha
nongress unkindly referred to by some out
siders as men and women who never had
any children, yet there are actual fathers
and mothers in tho organization who
should know what they are talking about.
But the incidental fact that a bachelor
claims expert knowledge of the science of
raising children should not be a cause for
derisive comment. Perhaps there isn't a
dyed-in-the-wool, hopeless, confirmed and
incurable bachelor living but Is positive
he knows more about children than all the
fathers and mothers put together. There
fore, when he condescends to give others
the benefit of his store of Information It
pays the world to stop and listen.
It will be gratifying to the army of
bachelorhood to loarn that the National
Congress of Mothers is about to establish
a department for the education of parents.
For years It has been a painful reflection
of bachelors and spinsters that few parents
know how to bring up a family of chil
dren. The deficiencies and shortcomings

of those entrusted with the privilege and
responsibilities of giving hostages to for
tune are deplorable, and when one thinks
of the absolute Ignorance of parents as
compared with the ripo erudition of bach
elors regarding children. It is a wonder
that any children develop Into healthful
maturity at all.
Qualified experts agree that there Is a
field for a department devoted to the edu
cation of parents. Even the parents them
selves will not deny that they know dozens
of other , parents who. have failed mis
erably In child culture. Take the average
father and he can cite among his friends
men who have abominable families of off
spring that should not be tolerated In a
civilized community. No doubt these wise
ones will give the new department tho
benefit of their methods and experience
In rearing their own perfect children. Of
course there will always be those old
fashioned mothers and fathers who feel
themselves fully competent to take care
of their own children and allow other par
ents to do the same. These have no sym
pathy with congresses and would resent
specialized Instruction from childless
theorists. But this class, predominating
though it be, can have little, if any, eltect
upon that small but enthusiastic coterie of
specialists in child training who perforce
have to experiment on other people's young
sters. Women in Science.
It Is only within the last century, and
very near the end of it, too, that women
have made any great record for scien
tific discovery, relates the St. Louis Globe
Democrat The greatest work done by a
woman In chemistry is, of course,
the discovery of radium by Mme. Currie
in conjunction with her husband. New
England has found Itself called upon to
recognize the work of a woman, the
Royal society having awarded the Hughes
medal to Mrs. Ayrton for her work in the
investigation of the electric arc and sand
ripples. Mrs. Ayrton Is the only woman
member of the Institute of electrical en
gineers and her work In electricity has
been of such a nature that It was Im
possible not to recognize it. Mrs. Ayrton
is the wife of an electrical engineer, but
she has much to thank her mother for in
the making of her scientific career. As a
girl of 1G she left school and became a
teacher In Olrton college. Her marriage
was due to an affinity of Interest, and It
was while pursuing investigations for her
husband that she came in contact with
electrical phenomena that gave her such
insight into the subject. It is evident that
women should make much progress along
scientific lines of work, for it is very well
known that most of the discoveries are
due to careful attention to detail and
thorough mastery of the subject rather
than the outcome of unusual powers of
reasoning. The chemist especially must
just watch and wait for the processes that
will give to the world something new.
The woman Is eminently fitted to carry
out the long, patient course of investi
gation that most of the sciences require.
She may never be able to evolve the
principles of physical phenomena after
the manner of Sir William Thompson and
other logical thinkers of the age, but she
can prove the theories and verify that
certain principles are responsible for cer
tain phenomena. The present century Is
to be the woman's century, and great are
the expectations. It Is not surprising that
she has made a beginning In chemistry,
physics and astronomy, through Mme.
Currie, Mary Ayrton and Mrs. Fleming.
A Wife's Strategy.
As a married couple were walking down
one of the main thoroughfares of a city,
relates the Ladles' Home Journal, the
husband noted the attention which other
women obtained from passers-by and re
marked to his better half:
"Folks never look at you. I wish I had
married some one better looking."
The woman tartly replied: "It's your
fault. Do you think a man will stare at me
when you're walking with me? You step
behind me and sea whether men don't look
at me." ,
The husband hung back about a dozen
yards, and for the length of the street
was surprised to see every man his wife
passed stare hard at her and even turn
around and look after her.
"Sure, laaele!" he exclaimed as he re
joined her, "I was wrong and take it back.
I'll never say aught about your looks
again."
The wife had made a face at every man
she' met
Art of Enameling.
Enameling has been called "ths poetry
of art." The transmutation of metals Into
the tints of tha rainbow is an alchemy that
has always, appealed to art lovers and art
workers. Recently, and chiefly through
the growing Interest in the arts and crafts,
especially when expressed In jewelry, it
has been taken up by women, and is even
studied In the girls' schools.
There are women, however, who have
quipped themselves to carry this work
further and mort seriously by attempting
larger pieces, similar to those we know as
Limoges enamels, and who after a pro
tracted course of study abroad have re
turned her and set up their own studios
and forges, for an enameler's studio means
one room for design and display of tha
finished work and another (a workshop)
with furnace and forge, blowpipes and
pitch bowls, pestle and mortar, hammer,
and tongs, work aprons and soiled bands.

Japanese Wives and Mothers.
Japanese Ufa has suffered a transition
during the last decade, but it needs more
than a changa In outward forms to change
the spirit of the nation. A touching In
cident showing th old spirit Is contained
in an article, "Japanese Wives and Moth

Some of tha demands of Japanese eti

very vulgar to show One's grief. According

A Japaneae woman whoaa little son, an
only child, had reoently died called on an
errand at the home of an American family
living In Toklo. The American woman
asktd for the health of the boy and tha
mother answered with a smile that he had
died several days before. A number of
questions followed concerning his sickness
and the time of his death, to all of which
the mother answered cheerfully and smil
ingly. After a few apparently happy re
marks on different subjects sha departed
to her home. Ths American woman was
angry and horrified at what she deemed
the woman's callousness and lack of ma
ternal feeling. Tha husband knew mora
of Japanese character and had made two
observations that ths handkerchief the
woman carried had been torn Into tiny bits
during ths conversation and that aa ah

Chat About Women.
Wilbur Nesblt, the author, received re
cently a list of questions from a woman
who was arranging a symposium for pub
lication. Among the questions was: "Who,
In your estimation, was or is the greatest
woman In the world?" Mr. Nesblt replied t
"The unknown woman who invented apple
pie. She was and Is and ever will be the
woman who has done more than any other
to gladden the heart of man."
Mme. Camilla Thelmer, a Viennese novel
ist and warm advocate of woman's ad
vancement, had an interview with the pope
recently. The pope Is reported to have said
to her: "It Is well that women are freeing
themselves from the yoke of the centuries.
Feminine liberation can but ennoble her
soul, in developing In her the taste for
work and study and In banishing from her
mind her atavistlo leaning toward Idle
pleasures."
Mrs. W. E. Ayrton, wife of Prof, Ayrton,
the famous English electrical engineer, has
tastes which run parallel to thost-of her
husband. t)h has been making on her
own account some Important experimental
Investigations on the electric arc and aJ

so valuable that the Royal society has con
