I SPECIAL Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic
| Paris, June oI.-very daintily and
fetchingly dressed are milady's feet this
summer.
If the American girl wants to be real
Frenchy as to footgear she has but 10
wear something after the style Of shoes
and stockings that are shown in the
sketches on this page.
The shoe that properly should be men-
| toned as the most popular style in Paris
this summer is OF patent leather, with
Louis XVI buckle. These shoes, worn
with black silk stockings with stripes Of
fine black lace let in, form as e1quisitely
refined foot dressing as one could pos
sibly care for.
Much more fancy and elaborate are the
shoes and stockings that fashion calls
correct for house and porch wear than
are those designed for street wear. In
fact, porch gowns and shoes and stock
ings are particularly studied. and form
a distinctive feature Of fashion.
The English fashion Of making n sum-
mer drawinc-rucm Of the porch is being
universally followed. The summer girl
establishes herself in the coolest corner
of the porch. with brigh. awnings to
keep away the Glaring light. and there
she serves cooling drinks to the friends
who drop in for little chat.
A charming girl wore. the other after
noon, Il pair of plain black kid slippers.
These had buckles of rich old gold and
emeralds. Her stockings were of black
silk embroidered with golden serpents
with emerald eyes.
A pair Of white silk stockings were
embroidered in orchids i'm purple tints
The shoes worn with these were Oxford
ties Of white silk with light purple
strings. This dainty footwear WAS in
keeping with a white organdie frock,
hand painted with an orchid design.
Butterflies ornamented a pair Of Slip
pers and stockings worn to a porch
party. 4 large butterfly was put on
the toe of each shoe. A smaller butter
fly WAS on the stocking just at the rise
of the instcp. and above this straps on
the slippers were held together by but
tcrfiy somewhat larger. and still larger
one was just above the line OF the ankle.
Fashion is in favor OF white stockings
for summer wear, but as yet the idea has
gained no strong hold on woman's fancy.
Low shoes with plaid tops and stock
inGs 10 match exactly are among the
newest notions. They are certainly very
pretty.
