When Sue KICKS up ner neeIS ll4s Ia
Believe me fur will fly,
For she'll wear fur upon her boots
And they'll come up SO high
We now all have this much in COM
mon with the bus conductorS-We!l
turned limbs are no treat to us. with
skirts ever going little bit higher we
are fairly surfeited With displays OF
hosiery.
ssAn inch at time soon makes nine
is the song of the skirt and Just nine
inches above the toe line is the proper
fall length for this garment naI
it lacks in length, however wiz

conference of the hem
lust TO bring a bit of brightness into
the lives of all save the Pima, many
skirts are lined with a vivid scarlet
green, blue or orange silk from the
hem to the knee. This glimpse OF
color is very effective, flarlng out as
milady strides up the avenue OF steps
lightly into her waiting car, De 1T ,lrol-
ley or Rolls Royce
The same tint used for the skirt
lining $50 faces up the inside of the
long flaring bell sleeves and touches
up the neck line and the pockets.
All for Higher Life
F,vervthing seems to be striving for
the higher life as the days grow
shorter. The skirts and collars are
climbing to ear tips and hats are go
ing them better. -,
Some of the collars shown are notn-
ing short of amazing. They are cut
like deep flaring cuffs and STAND up
uniformly around the mead II may
be an open secret that IoVeiy woman
has two legs to stand on but whether
she has a mouth and chin now re-
mains q dark mystery, thanks to these
new collars. For the woman VINO JUST

Rats! Shoes Up, Too!
All the fur collars on suits, gowns
and coats are high and swathing as
the pocketbook will permit POSITIVE
Nv their only limits seem financial
What fur is left over from collars
cuffs and wide banding on the hens
of the skirts is used to enc1rcle the
tops of the new high shoes.
of a necessity to keep up with the
skirt line the boots and SHOES nave
had to come up in the world also ana
they are proportionately higher than
last years models.
Gee, Pussy-Footed!
The smart magpie effects of black
kid or patent leather with p1plngs ana
buttons of white have landings or
white fur around the top. With her
trotsies thus embelhshed with the rel
leo of a cats ninth life the winsome
wearer may we'll be designated as
sspussy footed"
Bronze boots banded in skunk are
simply stunning and pair OF pearl
grey kid dress boots with chinchilla
are exquisite All white ones are also
shown with the white fur tops for
wear with the stunning white velours
broadcloth suits deeply banded la
Pusse with wide bands of white fox.
Buttons and Laces.
Buttons or laces are a mere matter
of personal fancy as to shoe fasten1ngs
this fall and winter. Both are equally
good Just as long as they know their
proper place and keep it No more
straying from the middle front to side
or back ways. Colored tops will still
be worn in moderation but Wi! OFT
ener be developed in soft tinted kid
than suede or cloth. Heels will be
high French affairs and vamps are
shorter.
AS for hosiery, it is a perfect riot
of color and design. One bronze pair
not content with pair of conserva-
tive clocks, one on each side, abol-
ishes the side clocks and has three up
the front This timely style is sure
to be striking.
Hooray, Open Work!
Others are embroidered in con-
trasting shades and stripes, checks
and lots are conspicuous details Open
works and lace effects are favored for
evening wear as are metallic en-
broidered hose for wear with the me-
tallic brocade gowns and gold and sill
yer brocaded slippers.
Plain sheer stockings of solid but
gorgeous hues are favored for wear
with the high shoes and often match
up the Innings of the skirts.
Oh there's bound to be a lot of eX
citement on foot when the new fur
trimmed boots and giddy hosiery get
in place.
