contrast in colors is enough to
give rich, dressy appearance without
being so decided as to offend taste or to
mar the harmony by strong contrast.
The same design can be had in almost
any color, shade or combination, which
is usually decided upon by color ofIthe

For evening, brocade shoes, made
with the contrasting heel and rand,
with dainty bows lined with the color
OF the heel, or with cut buckles, are in,

bows are smnrtly set up, each one
lined with color drawn together at the

foot. The vamp is cut Of glazed white
kid, low at the toe and long on the
sides, extending back to the thin por-
ton of the shank. The quarter Is of

show stitches anywhere on the outside
The inside is lined with pearl-colored
kid. The buckle, which is very long
and bent to fit over the instep, is OF

frame is open network. and tn bands
are held by an initial letter or mono

covered with white leather, and the
edge of the sole, which is very thin, is
finished white. In toilet slippers a

wearer, and with plain innersole, or |

edge with a sort Of box pleating, the
whole surmounted with neat bow or l
