!THE REALM OF FASHION Novoltioa That May Bo Doscrlbod as Comtno H Faut. Shoes of Fubrica with T^treo Antlquo , Hackle.*?Something Now In Hosiery? Chic Huts niid Kur* Tlint niuko l*r*>tty Woman I'rettler. [COPYIUOUT, 1890.] Tho bosi com promt 80 mndo between a too sturdy-looking English hoot and ono of French origin is a walking shoo of soft Dongola with taxings of patout leather and what is called tho French half-heel. Ladies aro now having their carriage shoes made of rich fabrics and decorated with largo antique silver and jowoled buckles. House shoes have never been nioro iilegant than at present, and tho truo QRKKK SANPAL AND KVKNINQ SLIPPERS. Lacedemonian might revel among the attractive rod slippers, shoes, and san? dals whh :! dlsllngni >h every collection. These are exclusively for tho house and for morning toilette, for which tiiey aro popi.lar with every kind of stocking; and though the latter in all its Intrica? cies of coloring and design and delicato and sodtictivo ornamontatlon, is most likely to hopelessly l.uro womankind frot.i consideration of tho practical In Chocs during a shopping expedition, it is tho writer's intention to herein post ponu their admiration of dainty hosiery until they are told of tho "swell" street boot which is "so En? glish, you know." Excopt that it rep? resents a goodly proportion of sturdy common sense, it is not so very English after all, for, though made of lino calf? skin ami Dongola kid neatly attach td to heavy solos, It i really a graceful and natty boot, easy lo wour and almost as potent n prevention ,if pulmonary affections as tho celebrated Koch dis? covery. This particular ".swell" boot, shown with justifiable pride by ih:,< maker, is shaped upon n last arched over the instep and hollowed under it in such a manner that tho foot "Ill's tho ' shoo*' its full length?something which can not bo said of the usually Hut walk? ing boat. And now a glance at hosiery. If you desire quite tho newest thing?some? thing very chu?you will bo shown a rich silk slocking, black at tho top for a few inches and also along tho solo of the foot and the tip of tho toe. The in? termediate space is handsomely pi aided in tbo Scottish colors?blue and green, with an Intermingling of black, and tho plaids aro here and there defined by narrow lines of brilliant red or yellow. Tbo top of tbo plaid portion reaches ' just above tho swell of tho calf and re? sults in a suggestion of the costume of the Highlanders. For ultimate association with fancy bouso and carriage shoes and also fcr full dross wear, there are black stock? ings whose insteps and ankles are iliu xninnd with dainty hand embroideries of brHHantsilk, and metallic beads in gold, steel, copper, jot and tbo serpent tints; and silken hose of delicato bluo, pink, pnlo yellow, pearl, mauve und TEA v.uws. [Nilo green decorated with dainty Ttracories in contrasting colors and gold fthread, and also in gold, silver, jet and jstcel beads, llibbed stockings prevail ?for street, wear in black, dahlia shades, ttans, browns and slate tints; and where ftwo colors aro united, as black and jpink, tho latter color extend.; in ribs ?tho full length of the stocking at tho [front only, tho back being black and {plainly woven. Shrimp pink, hello 4tropo, yollow, torquoiso blue and apple /groon aro all combined with black, (Cither as above described or with the lupper or lower half black, and the rc jraainlng half of the tint. Apropos of tho fact that blue in all its shailok has roturned to favor, a glanco at feminine heads in fashionable ovon Ing audiences shows a general uprising of turquois blue ostrich tips and soft masses of volvotoftho samo tint each with a background or setting of black velvet or jot. Those bits of greenish blue shino out liko flashos of light in a painter's landscape, and the ultra-fash lonablo woman who can successfully wear turquois bl?o is sure to bo soon in a fetching millinery erection in which this color Is given duo promlnonco. Handsome turquois blue gowns aro dec? orated with tabtieresot black passotuon tcrlo, with serrated edges whose points reach to the inch wide hand of Persian lamb furor Astrakhan, at tho foot of the skirt. Larger points outline a corselet upon the waist, whilo much smaller points fall far over tho hands from tho wrists of the long sleeves. An odgo of the fur at tho neck provides a solt fin? ish, and with the bluo of tho gown brings out all tho fairness or clearness of tho judicious wearer's complexion, and makes a picture entitled to genu? ine admiration. Hut the woman with a sallow or muddy complexion should be? ware of the wiles of this color in plan? ning her own gowns and hats. Another reminiscence of antiquity ap? pears in the latest caprice in coiffures, which is a modification of tho styles in vogue at the beginning of this century, and which were, at that lime, adapta? tions of tho Grecian fashion of hair dressing. At tho present time tho hair is wound in a compact knot at the back of the head so. that the crown and tho top of the knot aro in ;v Hho. The ends of tho hair are curled in short ringlet3 which escape from tho base of the knot, or tiny false curled pieces are pinned hero in place of tie* natural curls, and som times the curls lire omitted alto- , getlier, particular1. .- if one has n nicely shaped hea.l, since it Is ono of the "fads" of tho moment to preserve the outline , of the head by :?. smooth and compact ar- 1 rangomcnt of the hair. If tho hair Is ! dressed high anti Hit filly, :>. Cnstilinn i shell pin thrust through its colls and wavos lends a very piquant olfoet. These pi::s are about six inches long and near? ly an inch wide at the top, tapering ; d? .t.) the regulation point. They ? have tlui outline Of a dagger blade, and [ some of them are simply plain tortoise slit II, whilo others are curved at tho top ! or wide end. Gloves with largo buttons whose cor.- , spicuous qualities aro subdued by bav? in ; the same color as tho glove, aro very fas biohablo; and another style, as yet a XHW F.NQAOKMKNT lUXOS. nr. duct linsubicctcd to tbo McKinley im , sinco it has not boon brought to our market, but shortly will bo, is a glove with a long wrist coming well up over tho sh-e\e and having in addition a gauntlet attacbod to itn top. That it is stylish can not bo gainsaid; that it will bo popular is a fore rone conclu? sion. L'ETOILK. EDITING HOTEL BILLS. Tlio Newspaper Mail'* Itluo Pencil Tut to (?uoil IIso in Klimpe.

The Salem Improvement Company, the most successful organization of its kind In Virginia, had its first salo?f lot*) DcceuTbcr 11, 1880. Since that time the growth of Salem bus been marvelous. About 400 houses have been built; 81, 000.000 spent in buildings and improver mcnts; tho population nearly doubled, andI tho business of the postofilec ami telegraph oftlce incrcasi 1 500 p? r cent. The iron furnace about to go into blast, the factories in operation and actually secured will employ several thousand hands and insure tie- doubling'of the I present population of 4,000 in another ?. year. Negotiations are nearly closed for ad- ' ditionnl plants to employ several thou- ' sand hands, and tho land1 companies, with an aggregate capital steck of ?4, 000,000, have voted liberal sums for new Industries. A cottbh factory and a woolen mill (nearly completed) thai will manufacture Its goods into clothing, will employ n large number of females. The early extension of the llaitimoro and Ohio and the lloahoko and Southern to .^alem will make it an important rail? way center, and hasten its growth into a large iron, steel and general manufac? turing and commercial city; Salem and Kounoke, now rapidly growing together, are destined to be tue great industrial center ,,f Virginia. Salem is the inost attractive town in Virginia; and i; may well be proud of iis sill passingly beautiful location, its heul I hlu! climate, its refined society, its Hip churches, its excellent schools, and of lioanoke College, one of the lending Institutions in Virginia. Attractive as a place of residence, it now offers un? it tual advantages for manufacturing; and general business. No other t.esn in Virginia has ever equalled Sulem's record id progress for the last twelve1 months. The stage of experiment is i passedj and Salem is now llrmly estab? lished en ti solid industrial basis.
