soil quickly, and are quite an item of
expense to keep looking at all smart and
well cared for.
Bo although the season Is .
young, there Is a very apparent i«mivh.>h
In favor of the shiny black shoe; and
this |s when Dame Fashion and Femi-
nine Caprice and Common Sense Join
hands once more, .nd add the shiny
black leather shoe to the short skirt,
and announce that the one is the sar-
torial complement of the other.
And. truly, there Is nothing so dainty,
so flattering to any size'or shape of foot
as a well cut black patont or shiny
leather shoe. This seaaoa the shapes
are Just as extravagant as are the
modes, and there 1- simply no taste
which cannot be suited In them.
In the patent Is coltskln, which Is far
cooler, more durable and smarter than
the patr ; leather. Every possible style
Is represented. For morning wear there
are shoes with broad, stout handsewed
soles and you can Indulge any caprice
on these as to heels.
The mHltary, the Cuban, the Louis
heel are all the mode. Then there la
tho now patent colt pump, which Is a
feminine Imitation of a man's dress
pump, with tho vamp cut very low to
display the pretty hosiery to advantage.
_ _ — a.so the
apparent height and slendcrness of the
Instep.
The strap stylo Is sure to bo a favorite
with tho smart dresser, and any number
however, is more usual: and these ar
fashioned with tho Jlcxlblo turned sol
ai^l a markedly high heel. The strai
are either plain
ostlng hose Took especially well; and
us shoerness and daintiness are seen to ;
excellent advantage.
And? Incidentally, In this connection | p).
'twere as we I to note that the embroid-
ered stockings have to a large extent re-
placed tho openwork weaves. The sho«*r
silk stocking, and tho sheerer the better,
is, of course, the leading mode:-but the
gauze lisle is Just as well liked for the
warm weather wear.
The girl enthusiast Is Just as likely to
me wuici piam ui fancy; nnd In mt*
latter beaded, embroidered, inlaid aud
fancy patterns generally abound.
There is one question which agitates
the feminine mind In this connection:
and that Is whether the hosiery shall
match the gown or the shoe. Well, this
have tho emblem of her favorite collage
embroidered Just above the instep of
her silken hose; and monograms are
seen on many, as well as single initials.
These, however, are but passing fads
which will meet with but limited ac-
ceptance in a limited'circle.
Summer trunks in this year of grnce
will give up part of their valuable
space to the enaloss accessories that are
absolutely essential to complete the
wardrobe of the summer girl. Lingerie
and lace frills and dainty undersleeves
bedecked with tine needlework, pictur-
esque little shoulder wraps, veils, lace
and colored, elaborate stockings and
the dressy shoe are among the all-Im-
portant novelties. When these fixings
were in style before there wore no de-
partment store counters brimming over
with assortments exquisite enough to
tempt the most fastidious buyer. It
i before the day, too, of multltudln-
, semi-annual family heglras and all
or exigencies which encumber the
lern woman's year. Then there were
all sorts of homely, but picturesque,
terms to describe the woman who had
neither patience nnr skill to put an in-
finite number of inflnltesslmnl stitches
Into tho most remote corners of her
wardrobe. Fortunately for today's girl,
who comes without a trace of even a
hereditary "love for her needle." the
eternal vigilance of the manufacturer
has a supply of accessories ready for
her—a supply as abundant In style and
design and so — u'

• en lighter summer gowns,
are a most favorite triin-
the thin, sheer, dainty little
e in great demand.
Fine embroidered muslin capes are
also fashionable, and, whllo tha most
effective and, of course, the hand-
somest aro the ones embroidered tjy
hand, there are a number of excellent
designs in tho machine embroideries
that uro most satisfactory ujid effec-
tive. 1 here are embroidered chiffon
capes and cape collara, and. In fact,
never were there seen such a variety
of different materials that apparently
are considered suitable for this fashion.
Round cape collars aro tho most fash-
ionable, but as this shape is becoming
only to the few, tho collars with Die
points In front are considered smart also,
and are so much more becoming tiiai
it is fortunate faaldon has been lenient
enough to allow the two shapes.
Never was there a time when such
cheap veiling could bo bought, and never
was there a time when fushlonable veil-
ing was so expensive. The one coior
scheme that has taken such a hold on
the popular fancy is growing apace, and
now veils must needs match exactly the
hat or costumes black veils with any
color in Uasa MfiS longer tho smart-
est, although in tho black veiling Is to be
found some of tho most expensive that
are made. The sheer plain mesh veil-
ings, when becoming, show to greatest
advantage a good complexion, but they
have a fatal disadvantage in so far that
if not carefully put on. any natural
wrinkles in tho face are accentuated and
doubled in number, while tho figured
and dotted veils, exaggeratedly fantas-
tic, with chenille dots, are like bo<

stifT set pattern across the lower part
of the veil having the upper part of
tho mesh clear. The same patterns nre
all made up in colored veilings, as well
fas In tho black and white, for. De It un-
derstood, fanoy white veilings nre
among the latest styles. Just a trifle
trying to colorless skins, which may In
consequence be obliged to uso rouge.
With blue hats the blue veil, with pur-
ple bats purple veils, and so on through
the list of fashionable colors, and with
thu greatest care taken that the shade
of color shall be exact. It may seem
sUange to the uoloiUatvd and to those
\Mio care not for tho more unimportant
articles of dresy to 'think tl at ti ~
could bo any®decided fashion oi cha
of laslilon (for where one is the others
will surely follow) about so small a mat-
ter as that of veils. Let It be under-
stood that veils as
else have their.own part
fancies and changes In each. So among
fashion's latest vagaries comes the law
that for each gown and hnt there must
be a veil to match—a rule to be followed
by tho up-to-date dresser. Tills rule
certainly holds good for almost every
shade of suit, but whether it will apply
with the hat of red or green remains to
be seen. Although at first many did
not care for this new fad. It Is a fact
that the Colored veil Is very popular,
and there Is every reason why It should
last for sometlmo to come. Undoubt-
edly now colored ones* a re bettor on hats
of the same shade than those of all
biack-that Is, of course, provided the
hat be* of not too bright a shade.
Laco veils will be much worn this
summer, and. In fact, many hats are
sold with the veils draped on. If be-
coming, the vail Is placed &n tho hat so
as to hang well down over the brim at
the back, or again it is merely allowed
to fall over the hat for about two Inchea
all round. This fashion of the soft lace
ruffles is an exceedingly becoming

The oncn-over-style of tie la possibly

certainly it Is more nromlnent than It
had been for a number of years past.
The Ascot tie. however, still holds Its
own to n certain extent, while tho lit-
tle butterfly bow Is also In evidence.
Then there Is tho four-ln-hand- another
staple form which oannot be downed.
Whllo mnny of the stocks are of plain
construction, others are adorned with
little tabs which, whll«? they serve no
actual purpose, lend a pretty effoct to
tho piece. Gilt buttons to hold those
tabs down ar.i another feature. These
are not much larger than a pin head : In
fact, anything of greater proportion
would spoil the effect. Pearl Is some-
times substituted for the gilt, but one
is as stylish as the other. A new line
of fabrics In which these tailored arti-
cles ore produced Is canvas weaves.
Many of these are In plain ecru tone,
in which they show up most effectively.
Others aro bleached white, a modish
