No g-lrl would dream of wearing the old
rush or wooden sandals ot the ancients.
The evolution of the shoe, gradual us It
has been, has yet been motit complete.
Through sandal and rude footwear made
from the hide of wild beasts we have

elaborate slippers of the middle a.jjvs and
finally to the perfect footgear of today.
Bo entire. Indeed, has been thitf evolution
that a Uroek goddess herself was not so
well shod as is the modern girl.
For sentimental reasons, if for no ether,
therefore, the practical girl should eare
weil for articles that represent so much
thought nnd labor and time, lioing prac

this reason and give as her motive for the
trouble she takes to keep her shoes In good
repair the prolonged life and Improved ap
peal mice bestowed upon them thereby.
Perhaps, too, she Is right, for certainly
ten minutes a day spent In giving shoes a
thorough ''beauty tieatment" will work
wonders with them. Prevention, however,
la better than a cure, and so our practical
g!rl pays first attention to the care of her
footgear at the moment ef Its buying. In
the end it Is really economy to buy sev
eral pairs of shoes at once, providing none
of them be of pronounced ephemeral styles,

need. Every girl should possess at least
two pairs of shoes and two of slippers In
active service, to say nothing of such spe
cial varieties as dancing slippers or gym
nasium shoes. When she cornea home In
the evening for the practical girl Is apt to
be self-supporting also he should at once
change her shoes for slippers, and if It Is
at all possible she should not even wear
the same pair of shoes throughout the day.
Observance of this rule will save her many
a time from tired, aching feet, aside from
the bencAclal effect upon the shoes them
selves. Rub Dally with Vaseline.
The shoes once bought, however, the dally
treatment becomes more Important., Never,
above all, hurl an unoffending pair of shoe
Into a dusty closet without a thought of
them until you put them on a,?aln the next
morning. It Is by no meana necessary to
polish them daily; twice a week at the
Hands devoted to women Is enuigh for
that. Every day, however, the shoes should
lie first brushed carefully to remove dust
ami then thoroughly rubbed with vaseline,
special nttentlon being given the worn
places. The vaseline should be left on all
night, as the leather needs grease as a re
storative, and In the morning the sh,ves
should be again rubbed to remove superflu
ous grease.
They chould by no means be left simply
standing In the closet or wardrobe during
the nltfht; a tree for every shoe Is Impera
tive. Strange to aiy, the more expensive
Ittted trees are not so good as are the
cheaper Jointed ones, which are much easier
to manipulate. As soon aa a shoe or slipper
leaves the foot It should be placed upon Its
own Individual tree and kept there until
next used, always brushing carefully with
a felt brush. More than th'.s, a shoe box Is
an absolute necessity. The Inevitable dust
and dirt of the average closet mean death
to tho most hardy of shoes. A large snap
lox answers tho purpose admirably. Hinge
the, lid on, provide a lock If you wish, and
cover and lino the box with cretonne, chintz
or wollpaper. In a box ot this slae thers
Is room for every shoe and slipper you
possess.
Cleaning the Slippers.
81lppers, of course, since they get less
hard wear, need less care. Besides keeping
them always on treea and In the box the
only rule to observe Is to treat white and
light-colored slippers with a prepared
cleansing chalk aa soon as they begin to
shew signs of wear.
It Is of prime Importance that repairs
should be prompt and that attention should
be paid to the little furnishings whose con
dition so surely indicates refinement or slip
shod untidiness. Never let a lace get be
yond the days of Its pristine freshness;
never leave a Bhoe for one day without a
button. Py walking properly on the balls
of the feet the heels will never be worn
down, but If they are have a shoemaker
repair them at once and thus save yourself
Hnnoyanee and discomfort. Do not allow a
Sole to appear in the sole of your shoe, but
,ive It mended as soon as It becomes thin.
iCeep your shoes alwnvs In the best and
neatest condition possible.
There are other articles of footwear be
sides shoes and slippers which need atten
tion. Few women seem to think that any
care whatever Is due rubber overshoes,
which are placed constantly In the wettest
and dirtiest places. When they are new
ell that Is necessary la an occasional scrub
bing with soap and warm water, but after
they begin to lose their luster they should
be frequently polished with a good liquid
blacking. Soap and water, indeed, will not
hurt any shoe and a good washing now and
then Is an excellent restorative.
Csre of the Hose.
Stockings, perhapa. do not come atrlctly
under the category of footgear, but no
sensible girl will neglect them. The small
est hole should be darned before It grows
with cotton of the same sh:de as that of
the stocking. One little known fict is that
silk stockings should always be bought with
cotton or lisle feet or they will wear badly
indeed. Heel protectors, which can be
made of small pieces of chamois or kid.
easily obtained at any shoe store for a
email sum, are great saving on both hose
and shoes.
It Is not generally known that bits of
newspaper or blotting paper stuffed Into
shoes or slippers will absorb molaturo bet
ter than cotton. Or.e who suffers with feet
that perspire will find It a good plan to
resort to this method of absorption, which
will not only be a relief to the feet, but a
savin f to hose.
All this seems a great deal of unneces-
1 saiy Uouble. but our practical girl will
th PremlevTke World'
THE SMITH
surely have common sense enough to see
that she la thereby saving money always
a point with hei-.iot to mention the fact,
that she la preserving by a little care the
neat nnd dainty appearance for which all
girls strive, but which not all attain. Two
things mark the lady her gloves and
her shoes and the girl with an Innate sense
of refinement will neglect neither of them.
Keeping the Hands Young.
The matter of letting the hand grow old
la one that every woman should consider
seriously, and before the time comes when
It la necessary for her to do eo. Noth
ing gives away the age like the hands.
And unleen they are very fat and of the
pudgy order they begin to show age at a
very early date. The hands of a woman
of 30 have already begun to look old.
Just what happens no one knows exactly.
But scon after maturity an almost Imper
ceptible change begins to take place in the
hunds. The nnh shrinks away, leaving
bones and muscles, and the hands lose their
shapo. The nails crack and grow dark and
the skin gets a weazened look. The hands
of a nuut have a way of kfeplng yours,
but the hands of a woman grow very old.
To keep the hands young requires a hand
bath every day. It must be taken when
there Is plenty cf time for It, and the
hands must be soaked for fully fifteen min
utes In water as hot as can be endured;
then the hands must bo taken out and put
Into a cream bath. This Is nothing more
than a bowl of ordinary skin food, made
a little thinner with almond oil. If the
hands are well rubbed with this every day
and If the cream Is allowed to sink In, they
will soon grow plump and white again.
A good nail emollcnt should be rubbed
lirto the nails every night to keep them
from cracking, and each day the flash
should be well pushed down at the base of
thn nails to preserve their shape and keep
the moons In sight.
Upon every pair of hands there should be
ten sliver spoons. There are no hands upon
which these moons cannot be o.axed to ap
pear. It may be that you have no moons
on certain of your fingers, or think that
you have none, but they are really there,
even though you have never seen them,
and they will come out if only you push
down the flesh and give them a chance.
The nulls sh.uld be shaped to the fingers',
and It Is a very good rlan if they ar of the
wron.r shape to let them grow until they
are long. This can be done by wearlns
gloves to protact them; then when they
have grown out long they can be trimmed
and shsped to suit the fingers.
Very long nails are no longer fashionable;
neither are atubby r.lls. The style Is a be-twixt-and-between
one. Nails that are
bleached pir.k with dyes are quite the style
again, and to this must be added a very
high gloss, for the day of the polished nail
has returned.
Contrary to the accepted idea, the path
of the thin woman In her effort to gain
avoirdupois is strewn with rosea, f r r
she must do to put flefh on Is to take life
easy, stop worrying and eat all the gnoi
things that she lonss for. In fact, for the
woman who has time to give up to it the
training Is one tf great luxury except in
the case of the one with whom thi condi
tion Is temperamental.
For In many case the thin" woman Is the
nervous one-she who carrlea not only her
own burdena, but those of all about he
She worries ard hurries and doesn't give
herself time to put an ounce of flesh on her
bones, and If by chance during the long
summer vacation she added a few pounds
of avoirdupois, she Is now wesrlng It off
In a mad effort to get her wardrobe ready
In moving or bothering her head about the
domestlo problem.

SOMETHING NEW IN SHOES
Men Tarn with Eieh of Belief from Pointed
Toes to Wide Ones.
GUN METAL RIVALS PATENT LEATHER
Oxfords Are in Greater Demand and
the Regular Styles Will Retire
I'atll Winter Cornea
Again.
After a year when pointed shoes were In
the ascendancy, the wider toe returned to
its own and will be greeted with aoclalm
by the general wearer, although the atyles
of laat season were not axtreme enough to
cause the discomfort experienced with the
same stylo shoe eight or nine years ago.
The general trend of shoes last season waa
for a straight edge on the inside of the
shoe and this holds good with the new
shapes, but the toe Is considerably rounder
and even the broad "bulldog" lasts will be
In considerable vogue.
As the shoes will be made wider, their
length will be mado correspondingly
shorter, and any number of neat and at
tractive lasts are being shown among the
early arrivals.
The popular leather for the coming sea
son will undoubtedly be the patent colt, as
usual, but the dull leathers, especially of
srun metal, will also bo largely worn.
The reaction from the highly polished
shoes to the more subdued ahades last
year waa the feature of the season, and
will be omnipresent this year, and the pa
tent leathers will be utilized more for full
dress and semi-dress functions. It Is
claimed by admirers that the gun meta'.
and unpolished leathers are more comforta
ble during hot weather than the highly po
ll: hed leathers, although not as dressy,
and comfort is pre-eminently the desidera
tum In all lines of dress, according to the
present styles.
Tan ahoea will be In greater demand than
during the laat few years, aa they had an
off year last season, when they were worn
but little. Indications among retailers
point to a much larger sale of the tan
variety and stocks have been hard to se
cure on account of the inability of the
makers to supply the sudden and unex
pected demand for this color of footgear.
Low Shoes Are Popular.
It la to be decidedly a year of oxford
ahoea and the lines of high shoes carried
will be of the plainer and more conserva
tive atylea in general demand. The adop
tion of low shoes In this section of the
country has been much longer delayed
than In the east, but little else than low
cut shoes will be worn this season. Their
extreme comfort commends them to all
classes of buyers uad the high shoe foi
spring and summer wear la now a thing o.
the past.
The styles of oxfords are sufficiently
broad to satisfy every taste, from the ex
treme novelties with fancy tops and buckle
to the plain cut lace low quarters. The
button styles will be most worn, however,
and conservatism la the keynote of faahlo.i
In respect to this style of shoes. The
blucher styles will ulso be popular and
tasty and the military heel Is still deemed
in the best of taste.
The solea on all shoes will be of moderate
extension, the tendency being aeemlngly to
ward conservatism In this respect and, In
fact, freakish designs in any particular
will meet with disfavor by the more dis
criminating wearer who desires to dress
with any degree of tuste.
Xoi elites In This dear's Jewelry.
Last year Louis XVI and Marie Antoin
ette styles prevailed, and although these
are now Been, it Is the Empire, the art
iwuveau and the tireek elements that
have recently been the most pronounced
designs in Jewelry.
They are seen In the beet creations of
Parla, for which at present the caliber
stoi.es are required. According to the Jew
elers' Circular, Paris is more favorable t
the caliber diamonds than is America., but
their v gus Is IncreajMrg here. '
The sale of biai elets lies ben tremen
dous. There hve been linked bracelets
and bangles, simple gold engraved ones and
those elabjrately set with Jewels. Orltwital
effects, callbw Jewel deaugi.e and bu-gv
24, 1007.
single settings of seml-prsclous stones.
Jade and coral have been specially popular,
while the green nr.iah of gold aa well as
the rose has been well received.
The question of whether bracelets will
continue in fashion la one that cannot be
answered with abajiute certainty. The
flrat movement toward their Introduction
began five years b.ho, but it did not re
ceive a hearty Indorsement until short
sleeves became In vogue. Then braceleta
Jumped Into universal favor and they have
continued their popularity.
Nbxt to bracelets come necklaces, which
have appeared in an infinite variety of de
signs, from the single stranda of diamonds
or pearls to the must elaborately Jeweled
creations and from the tiny gold chain
with a simple pendant to the festooned
chains set with amethysts, pearls, aqua
marines, peridots, tourmalines and tur
quoises. One Jeweler of prominence predicts great
development in gold articles, carved and
otherwise treated to secure artistic ef
fects. He claims that as the stones are
now used only to heighten the effect, the
metal ornament will be cf first Importance
and the stones will not take the first place
as formerly.
Apropos of the use of semi-precious
stones, it may be stated that In the last
two years the increase in the number and
application of these articles has been enor
mous, and the price has consequently ad
vanced accordingly. They are double the
expense that they were three years ago
and they Introduce so many colors that
were never used before that they suggest
infinite possibilities for artistic treatment.
Of tho semi-precious stones most In use,
the aquamarine, tourmaline and the peridot
are the three most popular atones. A
knowledge of the seml-preclous stones la
most essential to the modern Jeweler.
The cuttings of stones is another Im
portant feature that shows the fluctua
tions of fashion. While the round cut
form Is eminently the most satisfactory
for diamonds and others of the precious
stones, the calibre or square cutting now
tills an important place.
Like the marquise, twentieth century and
pear shaped cutting for rubles, diamonds
and emeralds, It represent, a feeling of
the moment. Rich people can buy articles
constructed of calibre atones aa they have
money to expend on extremes.
Hut while the desire for this style of cut
ting may continue for a few years, and
while it ia essential to the most artistic
designs, the stones being cut to fit the set
tingsquare, keystone shaped or otherwise
It is a style that will never become univer
sally popular. It is too expensive for the
average public and there is also the dif
ficulty In securing lapidaries.
The cushion cutting maintains Its popu
larity for rubles, sapphires and emeralds.
It la best adapted to these, stones when
they are comparatively large, forming a
central setting for some showy ornaments.
Cabochon atones are alao used exten
sively In s'-arf pins, brooches and as clasps
for shopplv.g bogs and card and vanity
tases. Iirlolettes are sometimes used as
Hie finishing touch of a brooch or La Val
ileres. but like the calibre stones, they are
not destined to a general popularity.
The regular cutting for diamonds Is by
far the most satisfactory In the long run,
as It brings out the brilliancy of the stone
to best advantage In all sizes and qualities.
The tiny stones that are used In the. work
ing out of artistic designs are all cut with
the usual number of facets of the diamond
cutting. This, of course, ia one of the
secrets of their beauty and extreme cost
liness. The combination of fancy diamonds is
one of the fads that Is being developed by
a certain dealer. They are most expensive,
but their varying colors amber, rose, cof
fee and steel blue-render them charmingly
adaptable to ceriain deulgns.
