buckle. Another one has butterfly bow
of the same material. with rhinestone or
nament to keep it in position. By gas OF
electric light these pretty little stones looh
like firef1ies
Immense tulIe chous are also favorite or
naments for the evening slipper, as are also
ribbon flowers and buckles A pink satin
slipper had a large pink ribbon rose, with q
yellow center on each toe.
Slipper Ornaments.
Gold and silver cloth and tinsel butter
flies look pretty on the dainty slipper. The
ultra fashionable slipper is bejeweled in
every conceivable design. A gray suede, fol-
instance, is embroidered solid with rhine
stones in an artistic floral pattern. But
tons, too are popular feature of decora-
ton. and are seen in unique designs.
There is an extravagant tendency along
this line in the use of canoes and minia-
lures for fastenings.
The black suede slipper has taken the
place of the patent leather to a great ex-
tent. One of the handsomest designs seen
showed a lavender heel and an immense
lavender velvet bow, fastened with a rhine
stone buckle.
Plain blacks are also seen, with black vel
vet bows. This style has a tendency to
make the feet appear smaller than they
really are, which recommends them to the
woman whose feet are large.
For street wear this season the colonial
shoe is to be worn again. These old-fash-
Toned faverites will have the buckle and
ribbon on front of the shoe at the top OF
the vamp. Some of the buckles to be used
with this style of shoe are striking and ex-
pensive. They come with a leather attach
ment that converts any Oxford or low shoe
into the most approved colonial This at
taehment can be worn with any ordinary
shoe laees, as it has the advantage OF
hiding them. 1t can be easily detached, and
thus make one pair of shoes serve for diff
ferent occasions, changing the effect with
various buckles as well
Bewildering Choice.
Never before was there such a bewilder.
ing choice among shoes for house wear
which combine comfort and beauty The
Japanese style of negligee, which is SC
much affected at present for hours of ease
has made oriental footwear popular The
shoe girl who possesses odds and ends OF
SILK erepes or other oriental fabrics has
them made into toilette slippers for her
boudoir. This toilette slipper is the ham
diest thing to slip on for bath room wear,
as it simply has a pocket for the toe Some
OF them are of quilted satin with a rueh-
ing of ribbon around the pocket" others
are of plain satin, with or without high
heels.
The sandal dea is in great favor for bou-
doif wear. These are desirable for Gre
clan costumes, and numerous designs are
shown in the arrangement of ribbons. A
preference is had for loose ribbons which
leave an opportunity of changing the effect
as desired.
Fur-trimmed Juliets are always popular
for house wear. Another shoe built on the
same plan is shown in laced design with
ribbons attached. which are fastened around
large buttons in front.
Still another shoe of this order is a suede
affair which comes in all colors, and which
resembles boot, as the top is loose and
baggy, and has a rever that turns over.
Indian moccastns in gray and tan leath-
ers, well beaded in bright colors, are also
favored by the shoe girl who believes that
variety is the spice of life and who lives
up to her belief.
