LAST FINERY TOUCHES
GLOVES AND SHOES MUST BE
JUST RIGHT.
Correct Footwear Shows Leather or
Cloth Tops to Match
Gowns.


For several years the term Easter gown
or dress has been Il general one, meaning
that on that particular Sunday all women
who made any boast of being gowned In
season would appear IN a new get-up. the
most striking part of which would be the
dress and the hat, both with a suggestion
of spring.
1t was taken a matter Of course that
q new pair of shoes of conservative cut
and moderately thin sole and spick and
span gloves would be added to the larger
articles of raiment These two accessories
would be in good taste, but not peculiarly q
part of the costume, and, in fact, might be
worn with one or several spring frocks.
This year all Is changed. The gloves and
the shoes are the finishing touches which
count most emphaticaly in the Easter get
up, and may be said to give the hall mark
of smartness to each and every one of the
new costumes.
Extravagances in fabric and buckles
marked the winter season, especially in
evening and house shoes For spring the
influence of this extravaganza is felt even
in street shoes. The girl who can afford it
has her shoes made to order, with cloth
tops that match perfectly the color and per-
haps the fabric in her gown. The vamp is
of dressy leather, sometimes in glace kid to
match the cloth, sometimes in suede. Or if
the foot is large, a soft black leather is
preferable. If she cannot afford this outlay
she has pumps in patent leather or Wei kid
with CATERS made from the cloth in the
gown Should the gown be of silk the
CATERS are of broadcloth in a shade that
matches perfectly.
Many of these pumps have plain leather
bows, instead of the ribbon used last sum
mer, and II any ribbon is employed 1t is a
velvet made In fat ear-shaped bows. When
the top OF the shoes match the gown the
finish is large white pearl buttons with a
shank
Black and White
Girls with small feet are wearing ex-
travagant contrasts in shoes notably black
and white The most striking Of these are
oxford ties with vamps of paten; leather
and uppers of white glace kid with white
pearl buttons The girl with large feet
should escheW violent contrasts, and unless
the shoe matches the gown perfectly she
should cling to the conservative black
styles and thus avoid attracting attention
TO what may be the least pleasing part OF
her attire
Perhaps the best eptome of fashions de-
mands in the matter of gloves and shoes is
expressed in the Injunction that they both
must carry out the straight line essential
TO the success of the Easter get-up. They
must harmonic with and be the continual
ton OF the gown itself, so that an effect of
length is gained thus.
The long glove IS the thing and the
smartest shops do not even show CUSTOM
glove. Everything gives the gauntlet or
mousquetaire effect, the longer and more
wrnkled the better, and as the short sleeve
still reigns, elbow length gloves or those
that reach almost to the shoulder are in
demand.
In Gray and Mode.
In Paris the black glove, which has so
hong given chic touch to day or evening
costume, has disappeared In favor of the
pearl gray and mode or delicate tan shades
to match the two prevailing colors in spring
cloths. Pearl gray is an extremely difficult
color to keep clean, and the new fad wa:
be far more extravagant than the black
kios. Further. the suede glove is mounting
to favor, and every fastiC!ous dresser knows
that while they give better shape to the
hand and arm because az their clinging
qualities, they soil much more quickly than
the glace KID which has ruled the world
of fashion this winter.
l. Among the novelties offered in both suede
and glace kid are the three button gloves
with detachable gauntlet. These are one
OF the few economies In Il most extravagant
season. The mousquetaire or cane top of
the glove In fastened to the lower part by
pearl buttons. matching those at the wrist.
and one pair OF gauntlets will outwear three
pairs of the wrist length gloves.
Novelty gloves come TO match all of the
period fabrics such as pompadour, Dresden
silks, etc Some of these show long Van
dyke points in contrasting leather running
from the tops of the gauntlet down toward
tho wIfst, such as pale blue, pale pink,
primrose yellow and lavender set into white
giace kid. Black gloves have points OF
scarlet. while the Dresden pompadour silks
are matched with gloves embroidered on
the back OF the hand and on the gauntlet
with delicate fowers. II must be borne In
mind that all of these fancy gloves require
costumes of the same period and color COM
btnations. They are extremely bad form
with the simple sems-talor gown Of wolfe
silk
