old style boot with short vamp coming

it is the buttoned shoe that has fash
IONS canction for autumn wear with
everything but sport apparel. sport
costume demands a rather mannish
shoe in laced style and with low,
broad heels. It is safe to say that
any boot with a Louis or military heel
should be buttoned, to be all it should
be in correctness.
Most Of the new boots have cloth
tops, and every woman who wants to
help Uncle Sam clothe the soldiers
adequately will admit a predillection
for cloth-topped footwear, whatever
she thought last season. In line with
the favor for cloth-topped shoes is the
vogue for spats. These comfortable

The Stout Woman's Slim Foot.
It is quite surprising what trim,
sess. And not only trim feet, but
trim ankles, too! The stout woman
is apt to be proud of her slender foot
and small ankle and no one can blame
her for INDUCING this harmless vanity
by being extra particular about the
footwear she wears. There are spe-
cially made tailleurs, frocks and coa
for large women, beautifully proper
toned according to he new sveltline
STANDARD, which has wrought a meta
morphosis in the silhouette OF thei
stout; but there are no special boots
or slippers-the woman with avoir-
dupois takes her chance with her thin
sisters when it comes to footwear.
And she also, this season, is selecting
for fall buttoned shoes with tops OF
cloth. or dainty pumps to be worn
with buttoned spats-the latter to be
Just as fashionable as ever, it seems.
For general street wear there are
run- metal and patent leather walk
ling boots with ,buttoned tops OF dark
lcolored fabric, but the dress boot has
almost invariablysa light colored top;
and gray seems to be the %favorite
shade. There are tops of all shades
of gray from dark slate to the light
est pearl tint, and with these gray
topped boots will be worn gray
! gloves to match. One may not wear
as tall a boot as one pleases, either;
seven inches is the limit Of height, for
the United States government has
decreed that leather must be con-
served, and since q laced boot in this
height lacks symmetry Of line, fashion
commands the buttoned boot for
autumn.
Mothers are taking advantage OF

It does amaze the American woman

their slender and perfectly clad feet,

something gay and fanciful. Gray
suede boots with very short vamps are
the fashion in Paris at this minute;
and parti-colored oxford ties with
tips running all the way up the toe to
the lacings. No American woman
with any pretensions to style in dress
would yea a short-vamp boot; or an
