PARTY SLIppERS
Now Made to Match Gown-0ut of the
Same Material


SO necessary is il to have slippers and
stockings to match each and every
gown that when a new costume or piece
OF material is ordered the right amount
Of satin is procured at the same time
from which 20 construct the slippers.
The well-known shades OF pink, blue,
red, green. etc. can. of course, always
be found among the stock shoes. but for
odd and unusual colors that are so fash
ionable just now slippers must in all
proba bility be made to order Indeed,
in purchasing a satin dress OF any kind
IL is lust as well 10 order an extra piece
for the slippers, so that the match VIII
be perfect Nor are the special orders
so expensive, some stores charging no
more than the stock price for the same
style of slipper
The most popular evening slipper at
present is a satin pump with two-incn
French heel. That is TO say, the strap

general evening wear, has been found
not so comfortable for dancing, Wnen
the instep is so apt TO become sWoIien
and the strap cannot be loosened- IN
usually high Louis XVI heels are per-

The newest slippers are those made

prettier than the gilded kid slippers and
cannot possibly dub on. A white satin
