Before leaving the subject of footwear
] want to add a few words as to shoes.
have said that the square toe is the
correct thing. As TO materials. nothing
has yet interfered with the reign Of pat
ent leather. For street wear the correct
shoe is the English laced boot with the
square. low heel and stub toe. These
boots are very high. and correspond to
the new. style in CATERS. These button
halt way TO the knee, and, less care
fully shaped are very uncomfortable. The
French heel, Notwithstanding all the male
dictions that have been uttered against it,
is coming back in evening slippers. 1t is
the real Louis XIV affair, arched instep
and all. Some of the newest styles have
a high. faring piece in front that looks
like the tongue Of a shoe greatly exag-
gerated. This has a large buckle in front
Another design with the same piece in
front has a small buckle at the side. This
style is pretty for hosewear.
For evening wear. instead of the light
slippers made of tho material of ones
gown. tinted leather is preferred; natural
leather tints, such as beige and a little
lighter.
What has caused this sudden interest

There is very little space left to describe
a couple OF pretty sowns Wnicn are
worthy Of notice. They are both black
1t makes very little difference how sombre
ones material is. in fact it is rather to be
desired The idea is to get q very dark
material and brighten it up with trimmi gs
One OF the most brilliant costumes which
/ have seen was a black satin with two
rows of ermine fur around the bottom. A
triangular trimming OF ermine was set on
at the hips and another band of the same
fur crossed the front of the bodice With
the white lace girdle, the whole effect
was very stunning.
Another costume less striking, but per-
haps in better taste, was of that silky,
black ripping crepon, trimmed with black
velvet. The silk was plain, except for a
band of velvet around the bottom. The
bodice, of velvet, had a plastron of buff
chiffon gathered into Il crush collar of
NelNet. Inc sleeves We're also paie yell

Little chouX were set on at each
side of belt and collar. Right here is
whore the idea of fitness comes in. There
are people who could wear the first of
these two gowns and not appear at a dis
advantage, but such as can carry so much
style and brilliancy of contrast must have
a dash and daring about them which the
ordinary girl does not possess. The plain,
every day young woman would be safer in
choosing the second of the two costumes,
and she need have no fear of being any the
less attractive. Alice Amory.
