To be Fashionably Shod It hardly seems possible when we look back just a few years, to think that the plain oxford and pump formed such an important part of the footwear fashions of the well dressed woman. For now elaboration and still more elaboration is the keynote of footwear smartness. Straps Are the Thing The strap slipper is quite the most popular of all. Straps of every kind and description are seen—some extending way up to the ankle in such narrow bands that they resemble narrow ribbons. Frequently lattice work is seen in the sides of the slipper or in the front coming up the instep. In fact, the more unusual the strap, the smarter the slipper. Sometimes these straps are fastened with tiny buckles. In the satin slippers they are very apt to have a button which may be covered if you so desire, with a slide buckle of pearls or rhinestones. These buckles add greatly to the smart elaboration of the dressier slipper. Patent leather is so attractively trim and smart that it is admirably suited for street wear with the smart tailleur. However, suede or sued trimmed with patent or dull leather is to be seen in the foremost ranks of footwear fashions. In these suede shoes great ingenuity is shown in the countless fascinating ways in which the contrasting leather is introduced on different glides in the ality into her costume will choose some of the gorgeously brocaded slippers or even satin ones. However, the latest thing is to have the colors of these slippers a contrast to the shade of the gown rather than harmonizing with it. The Sports Shoe Very good for sports wear is the low heeled suede slipper trimmed with a contrasting leather.. But for the more energetic sports, the practical low-heeled, mannish oxford is just the thing. With the black slippers, unless you wish to achieve an entirely black costume, the light hose are generally worn. And so many and attractive are the new shades in fall hosiery, that accessory. And, indeed they offer many a pleasing suggestion for attractive color combina-tions. In the grey tones bling Brook, Pilgrim are the newest, while flesh tints are Blush Star Dust. Then the cinating Sunbeam thins Lapin, Gateau, Frida Dawn, Sunset and Lily Of course there are shades of grey and been carefully planned newer shoes exactly though wool hosiery for skating and allyers, the most popul season are plain o lace clocks are seen eral rule the shade s of paramount import hosiery. Patent leather is so attractively trim and smart that it is admirably suited for street wear with the smart tailleur. However, suede or suede trimmed with patent or dull leather is to be seen in the foremost ranks of footwear fashions. In these suede shoes great ingenuity is shown in the countless fascinating ways in which the contrasting leather is introduced. Sometimes slashes in the suede show the contrasting leather, or it may be put on a lattice work or as a more conventional edging. Certainly never before did the shoe designers have such an opportunity to exercise a fertile imagination as that which they must use at present if their shoes are to attain any degree of popularity and smartness in the eyes of the well dressed woman. With the contrast of leather a contrast of color is apt to be introduced. Sometimes this contrast is given by a darker self tone or if Milady prefers something more unusual, vivid shades of red, green or blue leather may be found giving life and color to a shoe of otherwise sombre tone. The great popularity of browns and tans extends to our footwear so countless shades of brown, tan and carmel are seen in the newer footwear modes. However, with the afternoon frock, if it is black, black satin strap slippers are just the thing. For evening wear the gold or silver slipper is always correct, but one who wishes to introduce more origin- Boys are going to be more like their dads this year than ever before that is in the clothing they wear. The little fellows are taking to the Norfolks in great numbers and the older boys of the Norfolk age are steadily turning to the older boys models. It looks very much like a general movement upwards in the matter of dress in accordance with age. Boys are going to year because every ed warmth and big coats.

"Just a Little Different" NEXT TO THE POSTOFFICE WHAT THE CHILD WILL WEAR To a certain extent, of course, the fashions for children are influenced by the modes which their elders follow. But the day when children simply wore in miniature the fashions of their parents, has not yet been consigned to the dark ages. And well may any child of today rejoice that her clothes follow fashions evolved for her and that simplicity comfort and youthful becomingness are the keynotes of those fashions. Children are far more sensitive about their clothing than their parents sometimes realize, and a child who is simply and tastefully dressed in the youthful fashions which find favor among her playmates has learned the first and most important lesson in poise. And the children's frocks for fall seem to have been designed with that very thought in mind, so charmingly natural and graceful their lines. While their elders are favoring the low waist line, the children's frocks have gone a step further and as a rule have no waist line at all, but hang straight from the shoulder. The wide pleated bertha collar is so unusually becoming to fresh youthful faces, and is frequently seen—especially on the frocks of softer materials. Blue Serge Popular Blue serge—ever smart and practical, is very popular for the little girl for school and play while her dressier frocks may be of printed silk or a soft color crepe de chine. Pleats are frequently used for these children's frocks either in the form of pleated collars or trimming frills or else the whole frock may be pleated. These pleats, so popular with grown-up fashions, are particularly becoming to the growing angular ages. When these younger children's frocks do have a girdle, it is generally fitted loosely over them. WARMER CLOTHES FOR YOUTHS 2156UP-23 Boys are going to keep warm this year because every maker has stressed warmth and bigness in their overcoats. There seems to be a tendency toward the lighter colors and plaids. Those handsome overplaids have the call of predominance this year and every manufacturer in the country is showing these in many models and colorings. Most of the overcoats have patch pockets. Belts, of course, are found on most every model. Sometimes they go all around and sometimes they are only half belts. At any rate the smart coat will have a belt because it seems to be the most important part of a coat. The first thing the boy does when he puts on an overcoat is to reach for the belt. Norfolks Have the Call Almost every suit worn by the boys of knicker age are Norfolks. In fact the young fellow almost refuses to wear any but a Norfolk model. Each suit has its distinctive cut or styling. One will have a pleat in the back one will be belted all around while another will have a half belt. There are many snappy little changes in pockets, etc. One of the neatest is the envelope pocket. It is on the patch pocket effect but has a flap just like an envelope. Pockets generally are pleated. Coats are mostly three button with stubby lapels. Changes for Juveniles Juvenile suits are coming steadily to the front with the Norfolk effect of the older boys. Many models are shown with lapels and three button effects. Some are, of course, showing models that button to the neck but these are in the minority. Middy and sailor blouse suits are still being shown extensively and they really are very nice looking and attractive in their unique trimmings. Large kimona sleeves help their attractiveness. Knitted one piece suits for the wee little fellows are very popular and from the number of merchants are showing and their attractiveness they should prove a season's sensation.

Then too, Tommy Tucker's Elons and Oliver Twists are very popular. Youthful Furnishings There is but little change in the requirements for furnishings. The most noticeable is the strong trend toward the collar attached shirt in all ages. Solid colored shirts will have the predominance. Striped cravats of attractive colors seem to be shown the most. WHERE ARE PARASOLS OF YESTERYEAR? One wonders what has become of all the beautiful parasols the fashionable shops brought forth at the beginning of the season for one never sees them. Sunburn is the fashion and there are plenty of iodine ladies on every beach. Simplicity reigns for afternoon wear. Sport demands it. Simplest costumes in printed muslins, foulards and Indian impressions are in abundance. Many have fringes which have just returned. They are thick and silky. When evening comes jewels come forth in greater numbers than ever. With them come many lovely scarfs in tulle and enormous fans or ostrich feathers. Sumptuous fur mantles, silver lame capes and gorgeous shaws make up the wraps. It is estimated that America spends $100,000,000 a year for furs. The high prices which have been paid for bever, marten, skunk and muskrat pelts have led to intensive trapping, to the clearing of woodlands and to the draining of marshes. In many parts of the United States beavers and marten have been exterminated, and even Alaska is beginning to worry about the growing scarcity of her fur-bearing animals. frequently used for skirts either in the arms or trimming whole frock may beats, so popularions, are partici- the growing an-änger children's wardle, it is gener-ally a soft sash or a braid girdle tied loosely about the hips. When she grows a bit older, the best school fashions for the young miss are sports clothes. A pleated wool skirt striped or checked with a plain high round neck blouse and a sweater is a great favorite with miss ten to sixteen. Her frocks too, follow the simple, straight lines of the sports frocks, with a note of interest added in the narrow belt placed about her hips. Printed silk, crepe de chine and velvet are very popular for the af-ternoon frock of the young miss. The pleats and bias bands seen just now are very becoming to her at the age where arms and legs are awkwardly in the way. NEW AUTUMN FASHIONS NEW AUTUMN FASHIONS EMPHATICALLY, yes!
