KEEP YOUR FEET COOL IN
SUMNER AND BE COMFORTABLE
Coored Leather Is Much Easier on the Feet
Than Black

Nothing tires one more than an over
heated foot in summer, and few things
occasion more colds than chilled feet
in winter. Common sense in dressing
the feet not only leads the way 20 COM
fort but also 70 good health.
COlored shoes are cooler than black
ones. and patent leather shoes are like
welI-heated ovens upon tender feet Tt
Is said that the treatment OF black shoes
prevents the ventilation which colOTed
shoes Of the same thickness possess, and
we all know that a black color Concen-
trates, attracts and holds heat which
would be diffused an light colOrs is light,
instead Of heat. We have our vogue
for light shoes, therefore. resting upon
a 3aund basis of common sense. and It
might be as we'll 10 dwell upon that
fact and neglect to consider some Of
the foolish lengths In fOotgear 20 which
our present fashions in fOotgear lead US.
Unless one dresses in black, cOlOred
shoes are an absolute necessity 90 every
woman. The wealthy may buy any
thing they please, no matter how perish
able II may be. and Il is 20 the prac-
teal woman who is not wealthy that
the following suggestions as 10 economy
IN smart footgear are addressed.
All gowns may be matched with calf
skin shoes. frequently called pumps
tinted in smart coIors. They are strong,
durable. keep their color well ard may
be easily cleaned with a rag dipped IN |
equal portions OF milk and water. Tan /
shoes are cleaned in the same manner
An admirable mixture Is sold. however. |
by big shoe shops which cleanses coIored !
leather shoes like a charm. /
The linen, silk and light wool gown
should be matched with shoes Of col /
ored leather. and these are provided /
with spats OF leather buttoned With self /
tinted or contrasting buttons. Belts.
too, OF the same leather and hue may
be had in the shoe department. for It Is /
very smart, indeed. to match the shoes /
with belt and hat-trimming and little
touch Of the color upon the Bodice or
the gown. Lingerie and white linen
gowns viii be features Of the summer
wern with these fetching aeeompani-
ments.
Three other very smart STYLES OF
shoes are provided for sumrler use.
These are Of linen, OF silk and OF can
vas. Never buy a really cheap shoe in
these materials with any idea tLat il
will keep its shape and look and wear
for long
Shoes Of this character are made with
the fiat leather and silk bows OF the
pumps, and also with a short ribbon
laeing 10 match the shoe. There are
also low shoes with side lacings Of rib
bon that are very attractive with their
coquettish bows upon the sides Many
of the linen and silk pumps and shoes
are embroidered in small flrgures over
the toes, with cotton or silk embroidery
floss. Soft silk gowns have shoes made
o. the same kind Of soft silk in heav-
iaF weave ana cotton and linen gowns
are worn with the linen and canvas
sdoes, which. like silk shoes, may be
in every color or made to order
from pieces of the gown. They are just
as reasonable in price as a black shoe
Of the same make would be Black
shoes with spats made from pieces Of a
gown. are both economical and smart.
All the dainty eolored shoes are in
tended for day wear as well as many
Of the eXquisitely made suede pumps
and shoes, which are frequently en-
broidered upon the toe with appliques
Of cloth put on with tiny beads. as we'll
as with embroidery in tiny beads. Even
'ng and house slippers OF fancy silk and
saun are particularly smart when trim
nleQ with appliQueS Of cloth worked out
with tiny beads. This form of decora-
ton has entirely superseded the old
styles Of embroidery upon shoes and
slippers.
It is good form to have the sinners
Just as elaborate as a fancy arrange
menJ or straps, open embroidery and
uhy oeadWork can make them while
z I'D, silver and coiOred sinners shot
With gold and silver threads take their
places in the ranks Of necessary smart
footgear.
Patent leather pumps finished with !
