Shoe Styles Solved.
The style in women's shoes. which
has taxed the Imagination OF de.
signers and gone through many fan
tas,ic phases during the pas, two
years, without settling upon any
model. appears to have been solved
for the current year at least.
For walking and afternoon wear
laced Richelieu or elastic-sided shoes
seem TO be the most popular, They
are carried out generally in paten,
leather. varied with suede and light
cloth in the upper parts. Heels are
low and vamps high.
Another shoe that is much favored
is the classy Richelieu ingeniously
cut with mixed leather and suede,
with a low, wide heel covered with
suede to match the shoe. There are
also leather heels, cubical in shape,
which somewhat recall the French
Louis XIV, but not quite so exagger-
ated as to height.
For late afternoon wear or for
the more elaborate tailor-made suits
there is large variety OF leather
and suede court shoes with elabo-
rate steel buckles. They are replac-
ing sandals, which the elegantly
dressed woman are forsaking. The
best effects are obtained with gray,
beige and black. ornamented with the
inevitable steel buckle.
Suede shoes. either with one-but-
ton or a steel buckle. also are in
favor for afternoon wear. They are
usually embroidered with little steel
beads, all OH one side. The vamp
is very long and the heel is OF Louis
XIV style. Court shoes in black,
gray and maroon satin also are very
much worn. Evening shoes also
have a tendency to become much
more simple, whether they are OF
satin, broche or gold or silver It's
sue. They are simply trimmed with
cne button or a jeweled buckle.

cabarets Die Quickly.
Cabaret dancing in Paris is becom-
ing a problem in uncertain finance
for proprietors as we'll as customers.
A score or more OF these high ten
sion night life places have dropped
out of existence during the past few
months, only to be replaced by others
offering slightly different thrills at
somewhat higher prices.
The proprietors say that the
dancers will not patronize any place
for any length of time and conse-
quently they must charge high prices
for a brief period in order to pay for
the cost of installation and then close
when their places are no longer "a
