The Latest Riding Boot.
 From tEe New York Sun.l
 For full dress toilets the shoe or slipper must match the glove in color, and the hose takes its hue from the glove as well, since it must be of the same color as the slipper. It is quite as correct now to ask a lady what color she will have in shoes as in bonnet, for colored shoes will be worn soon in the street as we'll as in the house; and in the shoe stores, where styles are not only re- tailed, but created, a little bunch of sample colors in undressed kid are given to 8 custo- mer to select from. In these samples there are seven shades of brown which is to be the stylish color for the street in boots and half shoes, five shades of gray, which is an extremely popular color for the house, and will also be worn in the street with patent leather vamps, but only with very dressy toilets, dark red, blue and green, the latter being seen on tops of ssreet boots and every shade and tint that an evening dress can be fashioned in. For combination dress of pink and blue the slipper is sometimes made of pink, with No. 1 gros grain ribbon in blue strapped across the toe or in the form of v, the space between the strips being equal to the width of the ribbon.
 Very pretty brides shoes are made of white undressed kid with strips of silver braid across the toe, and black evening slip pers are braided in the same way with gold. \ A very stylish low shoe of suede colored kid t has the toe strapped with black, and dark | red slipper has straps of dull green ribbon. The most popular walking shoe for ladies | will be of russet morocco or sealskin, with 8 ! brown heel and fancy perforated tip. The | toe is extremely pointed, as are those of all \ the new shoes, and it is laced with seal | brown ribbons, which should be matched in ! color with silk hose. The revival of French \ fashions in dresses revolutionizes the shape \ and decoration of shoes and slippers, though \ the change is more marked in the latter. \ The ld-fashioned pointed and fat toes are | used, which necessitate the wearing of g shoe half size longer than usual. These ! slippers are made of undressed kid, satin, patent leather and sealskin. Both large and small buckles are used, very Frenehy slip | per having a strap across the toe, fastened | with small silver buckle little on one ! side
 | Very handsome house slippers are made in this style of quilted satin in bright colors ! with the silver buckle one side. The buckles are of solid silver, handsomely | etched or in fine hammered designs, some. | times set with shine stones, those in the \ shoe stores rarely exceeding ten or ffteer \ dollars in price, but ladies have them made \ to order in elaborate and beautiful designs generously ieweled. One of the pretties pairs of slippers made this season were O l black satin with diamond initial set as buckle on each toe.
 Ladies pay fancy prices for these peculia and unique designs, ten and twelve dollar frequently being spent for slippers, and ever ! twenty five dollars being given in exchang for single pair of shoes. Shoes have nor pointed toes and higher heels, and will b. ! very much worn in colors or with darl
 vamps and colored tops. Brides shoes ar of white satin and white undressed kid.
 Mir. Shrady says: ''We sell satin slippers but we make them to order of suede ant
 braid them with the narrow ribbons. Dressy shoes of black kid are beaded ct tn
 toe and up the front to the top in fine pat tern, and patent-leather will be used nor
