fashion observers to discover that
even the realm OF shoes is beginning

Some OF the sruartest OF the new
Kid low-cuL shoes have white uppers,
but shiny black heels and mere line
OF black kid about the top.
An ultra smart model has the vamp
Of soft-finish black and the uppers-
aide and back-of white.
Black buttons on high white shoes
replace the pretty crystal buttons in
some instances. Black bows are favor
ed on all white shoes OF the pump

The black heel will be sne- -
some OF the white canvas and hucx'

Black stockings may be worn with
white shoes, or white stockings With
black ones.
Gloves show the Same inevitable
combination. Some long gloves OF

shaped insets OF black near :be e.

this order by having insets OF white.
