Shoes Of Russet and Tan Leather VIII
Be Strictly In Style During the
Summer Months.

Women were beginning to feel that
russet and tan leather were not to take
part in the shoe-and-slipper game this
season; but now they may rejoice, for
these two shades promise to be very
fashionable among the ultra-smart
women.
1t is noticeable. however, that these
colors are usually employed In con-
nection with leather OF another color.
One stunning pair OF pumps has the
heel. vamp and part OF the shoe of
russet leather. while the srace be-
tveen the front and back sections was
filed in with champagne e-colored
leather.
A slipper which is built tiyh enough
to resemble an oxford is partly of rus
set leather. The vamp and heel are
OF white leather. Across the vamp
strips OF tan leather are stitched to
simulate lacings.

ming, but depend upon their cut and
stitched seams for decoration. One
pair of russet leather has a slight point
over the instep. This cut gives the
effect of a tongue.

makes It most necessary for women to
pay strict attention to their footwear.
