Slippers AND Shoes to Match the Gowns
and Adorned with Jcwels.
New York Advertiser
Sine the days Of Cinderella no article
OF feminine apparel has heen considered
more important than footgenr. One
cannot Ina well dressed without good
Shoes. Daucing slippers this season Gra
particularly fetching, ne most of them
are modelled on the picturesque shoes
OF long ago, with gay silver buckles
aud jeweled ornaments. Slippers ct
satin or Kid OF the same tint as tbs
frock are worn, but the acme ut ele-
gance calls for shoes made from piece
of the gown itself.
This would be- a rather trying fashion
for the woman who affects silk and lace
frocks were il not that for her special
benefit the shipper embroidered with
crystals and gold and silver thread are
designed. These are very quaint and
pretty and, to small foot most becom-
ing. One Of them is Of white brocade
on blue ground, the whits figures
having BEEN workei over completely
with small sesd pearls. Sequins, colored
crystals and jet are employed for
similar decoration.
For neat foot clad In fine stock
ing nothing il prettier than high
heeled, pointed toe, black satin slipper
without bow, rosette or buckle. De.

worn beneath the sparkling net gowns
OF the present. Women are becoming
so appHllingly sensible in these days
that many OF them refuse to wear
high heeled slippers when dancing
unless they have straps over the instens
or some support for the ankle. For
these sensible souls a charming evening

A hint OF evening slippers from an
eminently smart shoemaker may not
come amIas. 1t is that when a slipper
is selected for special gown unless it
be mndo from piece OF the gown itself
1t should correspond with the design or
trimming, not with the foundation of
the gown. For instance, with a blue
satin hrocnded with yellow. yellow
sllppers are advised; with blue gown
trimmed with rufiles of white. white
slippers should LIS worn. OF course,
this rule is subject to individual tasto
aud discretion, but tho shoemaker Jays
that it is observed by the best shod
women among his customers.
