creasing at a rapid rata and If It
were possible to obtain atatlattra
ooncernlns; tha amount of money paid out
In thla oountrr each year for hlKh-arade
hoes and hnslerr the (.mires would sur
prise even the women themselves.
Perhaps tha vogue of the abort aklrt has
iad omethlnc to do with the prevailing
taate for dainty shoes and hosiery, though
the footwear associate., with the long and
trailing skirts la aa elaborate and coquet
tliih aa that displayed by the trotting aklrt.
It la a brave woman who can preserve her
Serenity when ahe la conacloua that her
walking aklrt la leaving In evidence ahabby
nd shapeless boota or ahoea, and today
ven the practical, common aenae walking
hoe la out of favor with rain and ahort
aklrted femininity.
A. aurprlalng number of smartly dressed
women display French heeled ahoea below
Inatep length eklrta, and the broad, com
fortable toea have gnne the way of all ra
tional faahlona, giving place to ahapea
which, even la fitted wide enough .at the
ball of the foot, taper sharply toward tha
end of the toea.
Where a French heel la too radical tha
Cuban heel effort! a compromise. Thla
heel undoubtedly la more comfortable than
tha French heel for walking purposes, but,
Is high enough. It pushes the foot forward
Into the pointed toe In a way promising
profitable returns for tha chiropodist.
Howevor, this Is not a lecture on fern
Inlne vanity, merely a chronicle of fashions
In ahoea and slippers; and, after all, there'a
no denying that the modish woman today
goea daintily and attractively shod, even
though she may aouffalr pour etre belle.
The brown and rusfet shoes, so unex
pectedly revived lant summer, ore having
a triumphant career this season and will
be undonlably the rough-wear shoe for
the summor season. Comparatively sen
sible shoos , with moderately heavy soles
and medium high Cuban heels are made up.
In these leathers and In many shapes.
The ordinary Oxford, the two-hole tie,
tha pump and the two-hole tie with pointed
tongue are all shown In these heavier shoes,
and the pump still has a large following.
But the regular Oxford la a much more
comfortable walking ahoe and the two-hole
tie la a happy compromise 'twlxt pump and
Oxford, staying on the foot more firmly
than the former and being much lower In
out than the latter. In fact, this two-hole
tie Is considered by a majority of the fash
ionable shoemakers the smartest of the
heavy, brown shoes,
Tha brown leathers are made up In light
weight, flexible sole shoes, also ' pointed
of tries, Tenuis Qulnse of heel and often
ornamented by a buckle covered with the
eame leather, but with a tiny edge of gnU
metal. This leather covered, metal edged
buckle Is especially favored by one ex
clusive and high-priced firm and Is used
especially upon pointed tongue, two hole
or one-hole ties In brown, champagne or
black leather and In suede of all colorings.
The pump with flat bow, such as waa
universally worn last summer, has a rival
In the pump with little folded bow of
leather, either In self-color or In con
trasting color.
Fancy color effects are, by tha way,
much In evidence, white and black, whit
and brown, white and champagne, gray
and white and gray and black being popular
combinations. The brown and whlta Idea
ta liked both for boota and for shoes, smart
looking boots with brown vamps and whlta
uppers trimmed In brown being shows
by all the fashionable shoemakers; while -low
shoes of white trimmed in brown or
mode with brown vamp In white uppers
edged with brown are proving extremely
successful. These are worn either with
white or brown . hose, though where the
frock is white, whlta hose are perhaps the
wiser choice.
One maker has a particularly chic white
and brown model which haa taken readily
with his fashionable customers despite Ita
high price. Thla Is a fine white kid Oxford
with pointed toe and high French heel.
A very narrow line of light brown runs
around the top of the shoe, down each
side of the front and along the upper edge
of the vamp. Two of the narrow brown
lines cross the toe and the Louis Qulnza
heel is of brown. 1
Another shoe with which the same maker
Is having success has a heel, an oddly
slender toe tip and narrow borders of
champagne leather, while the rest of the
shoe Is white.
Iiluck patent leather In combination with
white Is almost aa modish as tha brown,
and white idea, though not so new. A
black patent leather pump with a half
Inch line of white along Ita upper edge and
a tiny folded bow of white kid In front is
chlc, and, by the way, this same Idea Is
carried out In all the colored leathers and
white, while the same model Is also made
up In white with band and bow of color.
In this latter case the hose should, of
course match the colored leather.
Suede Is much used both In grays and
browns, and though It soils readily. It does
make a dressy, pretty arid comfortable
shoe. .
Patent leather la rather lesa worn than
In past seasons, but Is alwaya practical for
the woman who feels she cannot go In for
dainty and fancy ahoea yet want some
thing more dressy than the ordinary black
or brown shoe.
White duck shoes have not yet had their
Innings, but are hardly perennials, sure of
favor In their season, as are the more ex
pensive white edge calf and kid ahoea af
fected by the women with whom expense
need not be considered. Shoes of hand
embroidered linen, too, are on the schedule
for summer wear, and some of tha sueUe
shoes and slippers are beautifully em
broidered In eelf-color with perhaps
gleams of metallic thread throughout tha '
design.
Evening slippers of satin are often em
broidered In silk. In beads or In paillettes,
but the plain slipper of satin with some
exquisitely dainty little bow or buckle for
toe finish Is the general favorite. One
pretty model In white satin haa a minute
band of lace in whose center Is set a single
large cabochon amethyst showing the
merest thread of gold around Ita edge. The
effect Is extremely happy and It ta easy
to Imagine the Idea worked out charmingly
in other colorings and other semi-precious
tones.
For the June bride I tha white satin
Uprer with the tiny lace bow and a spray
of orange blossoms aa tiny, and for the
June bride too are white satin mules for
boudoir wear, with a little ruche of real
lace edging them and a gold or silver
cord running along the middle of the ruche
and knotting with the bow and tasseled
ends In front.
The daintiness of the boudoir slippers
shown In the smart shops Is but one more
straw showing the swiftness of current
which feminine extravagance has achieved
in the matter of foot wear. Such satin
mules as those Just mentioned are designed
not only for the bride but are made up In
all the delicate color for ub of maid or
matron.
They are made too In exquisite brocades,
with perhaps a touch of silver or gold In
the design, and, again, one sees them In
pale pink or blue or lilao aatin with soft
narrow ribbon lnatead of lace quilled
round the top and tied well to the left of
the front In perky little bows. These trifles
cost anywhere from $3.60 to $20, but they
sell readily and are needed to harmonise
with the lovely boudoir gowns of silk or
crepe or chiffon or lace which are sold by
the hundred now where once they were
relegated to the stage and to the pages of
Oulda'a novels.

younger occasions much comment
Of a BUDerflclal character. Ha.
I cause elderly men have hitherto enjoyed
I almost a monopoly of marrying wives
' young enough to be their daughters, even
granddaughters, some critics affect to aee
In elderly women striving to renew their
f routh with youthful husbands the purpose
!of women to enter every field of man's
activities. Women critics discuss the inci
dent In a more serious tone because they
; understand the motive. Ada Patterson in
the New York Evening Journal says:
Growing old Is a commonplace to men.
It l the tragedy of womankind. Never
I was a woman with head so well placed
upon her shoulders, tod that head well
filled with well directed brain, whose heart
did not sink as though It were lead in her
bosom at sight of her first gray hair; who
haa not felt in eyea that have looked
bravely at; the world, the sting of hot teare
when she discovered at the corner of those
eyea lines ineradicable, whom no masseuse
however skillful could erase.
The middle-aged or elderly woman sees
In her young suitor's eyes her youth re
peated. He tella her-nd often he bellevea
that she Is to him eternally young. Her'
hope la awing. It makes absurd flight.
She asserts that time, that dropa upon us
aa he passes his pallid veil, injects In our
veins that which withers our musclea and
Blackens our gait and silvers our hair,
. haa not touched her in hla flight. It la
j the fairy story which every woman tries to
tell herself, with the aid of kindly beauty
. mirrors. Uut she tells It only half be
; llevlng. The youth oomea and repeats the
tale ahe and the merciful mirrors have'
told her. And in gratitude, which she
mistakes for love, she marrlea him.
i It la not her youthful auttor with whom
he Is In love. It ia her own youth beck
oning backward to her. The spell that
wraps round the world with brief beauty
la upon her and under It she marrlea.
Often ahe finds the spell a vain and fleet
, Ing one. Often ahe rues what waa verita
bly a mad marriage. Sometimes, however,
though the fairy tale has been told and
forgotten, an enduring friendship which
sumeos ensues. The late Baroness Bur-dett-Coutta
married a much younger man
and, It is declared, made him and herself
happy to the end. The marrlago of Amy
Leslie, dramatic crIUo, to her Junior Is al
leged to be a bllseful success. So, too, nor
friends say that of IJlljtn Bell, the author,
Whoa marriage to a Princeton man
amaaed ail who had read her "Love Af
fairs of an Old Maid."
But Olive Logan speaks from a heavy
heart when she says that the marriage of
. autumn with midsummer or spring Is a
' blunder that seta the nether demons
laughing. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
eould tell, if ahe would, how the young
secretary who had seemed an angel at the
bedside of her dying aon wore aspect far
