Wales-Gloves That Button on the
Outside.
New YORK, Jan. 26.-Now then We dainty
little shoes, step forward in all your bravery
of soft kid and shining satin, your arched
insteps and pointed toes and wicked high
heels, your saucy bows and buckles and
let us see what is Queen Fashions decree for
these brilliant winter days.
Well for dress occasions and carriage
wear, the finest of French kid, almost as
thin and flexible as glove; with fo1ings
and vamps of patent leather or else with
patent tips perforated. Laced, mind you
that. For boots, which are ever to stir out
of doors the truly swell fasten with the
lacings this winter. Laced boots, you
must have discovered that, are the only
boots that are trim and trig to walk in.
Look at an old buttoned shoe. After you
have worn it two months it grows loose on
the foot and wabbles. A laced boot, per
contra, can always be fitted snugly over the
ankle.
Patent leatherl 1t is a word to conjure
with in footgear this season. Pat tips trim
the pretty boots with tops of undreSssd kid,
Pretty. Yes; they're very pretty, but IN
deniably extravagant. The undressed kid
has a way of rubbing and turning purple,
which limits it to those who buy their
shoes by the half dozen.
Patent leather trims the cloth top boots.
Do you know why these are perennlally in

riage or calling gowns
Patent leather tips trim the new ooze calf
boots with slate and drab aud wine-colored
| uppers, and the novel suede boots with
| snutf-colored and brown and tan uppers;
| swell boots all, initiating cloth tops so
closely that one looks a second or third
| time to detect the difference.
Don't buy the side-laced boot. They say
it is coming in, but alas, it is ugly.
For the breezy promenade. The genuine
walking boot is after the English model

due respect for the pedestrian. Thick soles

American women never wear boots as
| heavy as those thought essential in Great
Britain. 1t is fad with every American
dame or damsel who goes abroad to buy
| English walking boots the day she strikes
| London. She likes them, too, tramps
| about in them proudly, says they're $50
| comfortable" But Broadway doesn't agree
with the British understanding From the
