We all know how very attractive these are when they are urw, and, also, how quickly the dull lustre wears off and begins to show in horrible shiny patches. Well, all your have to do is to apply a little black polish with a piece of chamois leather or the inside of an old glow. Repeat Įthis matil the polish has soaked well into the sueds, then polish it with a soft-hair ed brush and you will be rewarded by seeing a beautiful "brilliance come-upou what was formerly the shabby surface of your suede shot. This simple process will not only add to the appearance of your ahora, it will add to their durability as well, as the polish posses also the double virtue of being a preservative of leather as well,

FEATHER FLOWERS.

TRAGEDY OF SLUM LIFE. DUKE OF YORK ON THE VALUE OF PLAYING FIELDS.

The Duke of York; in the course of a

speech on July 8th, at the inaugural ecting of the National Playing Fields Association at the Albert Hall, over which the Duke of Sutherland presided, said that it was his firm conviction that the Association was well worthy of the generous and enthusiastic support of a discriminating pablie.

There could be no question that one of the most important duties which we had towards the youth of our land was to pro- vide for the boys and girls of today opportunity and encouragement" so that they might develop to happy and healthy citizens of the future.

The spectacle too often witnessed of boys and girls, unable to escape from the crowded areas of our large rities and com pelled to use as their playground tho lanes. in the slum streets and narrow neighbourhood of their hones, the short- age of playing fields where in a purer and healthier atmosphere the youth of our country might absorb that spirit of sports- manship which must continue to remain one of our national characteristics if we are to maintain sour proud position as a nation, mounted to little less than tragedy.

SHOES FOR SEL TOVAOGS.

Silver and gold kid shoes are the rage of the moment for evening year. They are not only unusually effective, but they possess a virtue which lami alas, does not, and that is that they do not tarnish They are a boon for women setting forth on a long sea voyage as they will with stand all the ill effects of sea air is complacently as tough pig skin does. They are a boon, too, to the girl who wishes in be shod in the sparkling foot- wear of the moment and yet doesn't wish to buy a new pair of dancing slippers every week or so. They are more expen sive in the beginning to buy but cheaper in the end, on account of their non tarnishing qualities which render them as lasting as ordinary patent leather shoes. On account of the material, itself being so decorative and showy, they are nearly always made up in perfectly plain models, with merely the addition of a jewelled button fastening the strap, or a tiny jewelled buckle set at the top of the vamp.

Resolutions were passed to the effect that the meeting, deploring the lack of playing fields, shall arge authorities, societies, &c., to meet the deficienes, and to encourage facilities for open air recreation in every city, town, and country.
