nonstrosities. summer shoes may be

chance be required.
With lingerie dresses for the spring
and summer a new buttoned oxford will
be worn. 1t Is not on the Du Barry
order, but rather on the style Of the

between the buttons SO that the stock

Dame Fashion says, colored stockings
must be worn to match the gown or
belt.
