New York.-The fashion in shoes
has been unusually important for
three years, but now it has taken on
renewed vigor. Women and manufac-
turers are vitality concerned with what
to wear, and how high or low 1t should
be.
The recent shipment of sharks skins
to this country to supply the deficiency
in leather is interesting. The manu-
facturers say that the effect of shoes
made out of the man-eaters that
threatened and frightened us on the
New Jersey coast last summer will be
good and that women will not COM
plain that leather is no longer to be
easily had, because they will be salts
fed with the new things.
Cloth is also being substituted. Can
vas Is readily used with bit Of leath-
er In the way of strapping as a sop
to an old tradition that shoes must be
of certain hides. BrOcade, silk, tussah
cotton are all called to the c0lors to
serve the country in time of need.
IeutleT SllOcS are HiOuuliuS III pI'SS'
naturally, and yet there is no disposi-
ton on the part Of the manufacturers
to make any other kind of shoes at a
low price. All labor is too high for
any material reduction to be possible.
The difficulty Is to get worker and
leather, and dire prophecies are made
concerning both If the war continues
well into the future.
The French heightened their skirts
for spring and summer to meet the
difficulty of procuring high boots, they
said, and, therefore, the American
woman is considering well the ques-
tons which are put before her by the
shoemakers and the dressmakers.
The Shoe and the Skirt.
There is no separating the two Is
sues, 1t would seem, for woman who
has been used to wearing the very
short skirt will certainly be hampered
If she can no longer find the shoes
to meet the situation. If the substitu-
ton of other materials than leather
does not meet with her approval, and
she thinks the new kind are ugly,
then she will lengthen her frocks and
be in the first fashion.
AS so many questions were asked
concerning the situation, and as 1t was
evident that Paris was the source of
both fashions, that is, the heightened
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-10-17
SHOE QUESTION M0MENTOUS ONE

the situation created by the deficiency
of shoe materials, and French skill
has created some excellent results.
Our long medieval vamp, with its
consequent frightening of the foot and
the curious pinching effect at the toes,
Is rOundly rejected by Paris for the
sensible reason that her women are
walking now, as they have no car
riages or automobiles.
France claims that the pinched vamp
is not for the pedestrian, and she gave
up the style that she INDUCED in for
so long and at which Americans
laughed; now our American women
are the only ones on the civilized parts
of the planet who indulge in the
medieval toe balanced on an exag-
gerated French heel.
What Paris is doing today and how
she has met the difficulties presented
is clearly and interestingly told in the
story which follows:
The last installment of American
shoes for spring arrived during the
winter, and the French article cut
after the latest throb of the American
market is now being placed in the win
dOws here.

in France up to dozen years ago
has disappeared, probably forever. for
French women, always wide awake to
anything that heightens or detracts
from their good points, have learned
that the long vamp not only adds
inches to the foot, but is uncOmfort-
able unless the shoe be two sizes too
large.
Every American model that came
to Paris a year ago showed the ex-
tremely long, narrow shoe, but Paris
bootmakers shortened the vamp when
copying it for their trade. The shoe
that is la mode today and will be
for the summer is the half-short vamp
with arch under the foot, and the Gu
ban heel, if boot, then it will be the
black with colored top bordered in the
patent leather around the lacings at
the top, and the seam at the back
will be covered. The top part is of
cloth or covert, and the color beige,
gray or white.
If the shoe is low, 1t will be Of the
new kind of patent leather with long
tongue that extends above the instep
and posed over the toes will be a
wide black buckle-steel, If for after
noon imitation black enamel If for
morning.
For evening the smartest thing Is
the strapped yellow slipper of brocad-
ed silk generally yellow and white)
or else the slipper is laced across with
ribbons, then wound about the leg
above the ankle, filet fashion.
Paris Gives Up Buttons.
1t took Parisiennes long time TO
give up their dearly beloved buttoned
shoe, but once relinquished they have
taken to the laced article with en-
thusiasm. For elegance they admit the
buttoned model is the best, but the
other article now appears so feminine
to them that it is sure to remain.
The delicate shades of gray, pink,
biscuit and beige for low shoes ap-
pear in the windows. The beige and
gray will sell well because of their
harmonizing tone. The tan and rus
set, too, look very encouraging, and
women will be investing In this shoe
on the first bright day.
With the russell and tan the heel Ia
Cuban, and the newest low shoe Is
rather high over the instep and laced.
The tie variety does not appear to he
fashionable. though there are many
women who prefer narrow ribbon to
laces in their shoes. All leather is
vanished and suggests patent leather,
though in many cases this is due to
the finish. Gun metal has never taken
here probably because it is hard to
keep clean in the constant rain and
slush.
