FASHIONS IN FOOTWEAR
Patent Leather shoes, with Black Hosiery
Worn With Evening Costumes.

Partisan women, ana indeed all women
of taste, are as fastidious in regard to
what they wear on the feet as to what
they wear on the head. Fashions in foot
wear change from time TO time, If not so
frequently as do other fashions.
At present patent leather is almost ex-
clusively worn. Walking boots are made
of this material as we'll as evening shoes
The boot is usually of the English style,
with low, broad heel, while the shoe is
OF the Louis Quinze fashion. The latest
novelty is Louis OUNCE patent leather
shoe with a red kid heel.
The needle pointed toe is no longer
worn. On the contrarr, many of the new
est boots and shoes are cut quite square
across the toe
Although patent leather is particularly
favored for evening wear, shoes of the
same material and tint az the gown are
