FOOTWEAR FOR The
DRESSED WOMAN
Masculine Style Of Shoes
Discarded for Season
Stockings to Match.

Shoes and stockings used to be such
q conservative part OF dress that little
attention was given save to the ut and
quality OF the n and to the quality
alone Of the other.
However, all this has changed, and
the choice OF appropriate, becoming
and stylish footwear is g. consideration
requiring thought and Judgment.
There are, of course extremes
about these we do not mean to talk
but there are, too, among the new
shoes such attractive examples that
shoemakers should feel many a twings
OF conscience over the Extravaganza
Of fraIl womani
Shoes there are TO match almost ahy
costume, and IL by chance you do not
ind the shade Of your particular frock.
the accommodating salesman takes
your sample and gets it for you.
Tans have become almost as staple
ble-especially for summer-for the
lighter shoe looks cooler, and the shade
Is n which harmonizes well with
light and dark clothes. :
Ties Are Popular.
More ties are seen on the streets this
season than last; the ~practicability OF
ties with one, two or even three eye
let's being realized, they are selected
In preference to the pump for walking
and hard usage. The tie affords a
slight support to the foot and a cling
ing quality which is missing in the
pump. i
The colonial. the garden tie and all
Its kin are much the vogue this season
for dressy wear, and pretty indeed are
they with buckles IL such variety.
In his desire to please you the shoe
dealer permits you to make your W
choice OF buckles, which he adjusts 70
the shoe you have selected. Wise Is he
in his generation, for many q woman,
30 encouraged, buys two or three sets
of buckles, knowing well that q change
of buckle is next best to new footgear.
An respectfully good combination Of
buckle and shoe is a gun metal buckle
upon a shoe OF gun metal kid: another
Is a silver buckle-dull inished-upon
A close rival OF the brown shoe is
the gray one, and the black ooze (suede
or undressed kid, as we were wont to
call IT'D has much style.
In fact, brown, gray or black ooze in
pump or colonial style may be worn
appropriately with almost my combI-
nation.
1t is. tasteful to wear silk hosiery
matching the gown with shoes of black
or dark gray. -
In vivid contrast to the popular
black, undressed kid Is patent leather.
which, with many people, Is like the
proverbial trump card-to be played
when In doubt.
1t Is not a bad rule, either.
Pumps Of black patent leather are
trimmed with white calf. and, IT being
a poor rule which viii not work two
ways, we find shoes OF white calf with
black trimmings.
Fol the more or less dressy white
shoe calf or suede should be employed.
White ~cravenette Is made with SO soft
and nap-like finish that II successfully
masQuerades as suede. deceiving all but
the professional eye.
AS a fashion tendency influences
every detail of the costume, the foot
wear need not hope to escape.
Thesvogue Of the classic Is RESPONSE
BILE for sandal-like suggestions-the
cross-strapped slipper and even a high
boot provided with ten straps.
The shoe of the moment Is cut with
fairly pointed toe. The uitra-wide
sole Is missing, but there is depth,
which affords comfort while 1t suggests
narrowness.
Vamps are short-a becoming style
TO a long foot--which Is consequent
upon the high-arch effect.
Tips are prominent upon shoes for
tailored gowns, and the wing tip
adds variety this season.
On the whole, women's shoes are
distinctly feminine.
The whimsical lady has borrowed,
exploited and has now discarded the
masculine style Of footgear, and Is con-
tent, for a season, to encase her pretty
play It's every charm.
