Kid Slippers Favored This Year.
Fashion is turning from satin dane
ing slippers to kid ones this summer
and certainly the new slippers of soft,
glazed kid, are a deal more comforta-
BILE than satin ones which never give
real comfort unless one purchases
them somewhat too large to tit the
foot neatly The glazed kid slipper
clings to the foot like an eelskin and
one is conscious of it no more than
of the skin itself. Since one may oh
tain glazed kid dancing slippers in al
most any shade desired-or even have
them dyed to order-thcre is good
reason for their popularity. Bronze
dancing slippers and silver slippers
come in for their share of popularity
also. With an alliblack evening frock

black satin ones, or black patent
leather models of distinct slipper form
and not suggesting pumps.
! Slippers and stockings are very
conspicuous on the dancing floor just
now because of the shortness of skirts,
and though there is a decided tendency
in Paris to lengthen skirts little, the
increased length has not yet reached
| the ankle. The pink satin and silver
| froCk pictured today, a Doucet model,
gives the correct length for dancing
skirts in Paris at the moment The
| turquoise and silver frock is about the
same length. This frock is by Callot
and one observes that Cabot has not
forgotten the Inevitable little train
that this house loves to add to even
dance frocks. The longest skirt on to-
days page is the one made Of tulle
| founces, but perhaps this couturiere
salved his conscience, after slipping
away more than conventional
amount of bodice, by adding extra ma
terial to the skirt, In any case this Is
a very likable frock for dancing on
a summers night. The tulle founces,
mounted on a tulle skirt, with
a hoped net foundation skirt
beneath should be light as feath-
err to dance in, and whatever
else II is, the bodice should certainly
prove cool. The rather daring decol-
letage, however, Is only at the back,
the supplied fronts having a modest
V cut. Each front, at the waistlne
appears to escape below a fiat bow
of blue velvet in riot Of cascade
drapery which tumbles down the side
of the tulle skirt Did ! mention that
the bodice is of shimmering palo blue
silk with little silver brocaded figures ?
Featherbone Is inserted in the seams
to give n trim wasted effect at tho
front and under the arms The al
most bare simplicity of the sleeve cut
is an interesting detail,
