Wessmdker OF today, notes a Paris
fashion writer in the New York Trib-
une, Is scarcely able to keep pace with
the modern shoemaker in clever ideas.
There apparently is no end to the
original things that he can do.
The colors seen in shoes naturally
follow those In dresses. All the gray
and brown tones are used singly and
in combination with one another The
grays range from the shade known as
silver gray to smoke color, and the
browns from fawn to the darker cocoa
shades. Otter Is particularly popular
at the present time.
In the novelty class are shoes made
Of bright-colored kid. u has been some
time since slippers Of colored kid were
worn to any extent All the greens,
reds and browns seen In dresses are
reflected In the newest footwear of this
sort. Not every woman will have the
courage to appear in shoes Of bright
green or red, but the dark blue and
bottle green shades will no doubt be-
come popular, even with the more con
servative woman. Colored kid is used
for trimmings. such as tongues, insert
ed strips and heels, as well as for en-
tire shoes.
To start an epidemic Of color In
clothes Is like upsetting hundreds of
dye pots Even as far-reaching as
shoes is the influence OF bright-colored
prints. which show no sign of waning
At the recent International SILK ex
position representatives Of the ex-
elusive shoe shops Of America we're
to be found mingling in the booths
searching for printed materials from
which to make shoes for the coming
summer
Cut-steel shoe ornaments are having
tremendous vogue in Paris at the
present time So great Is the demand
for these that manufacturers, are
charging as high as $50 francs for a
pair Of shoe buckles, and the retail
price Is OFTEN double this.
These ornaments are In oval and in
closed designs. They are so large that
they exaggerate the size Of the foot,
especially since they are placed di-
rectly on the instep Of the high-tongue
or gaiter style Of shoe.
A season of great extravaganza in
all forms Of shoe buckles and tongue
ornaments made Of cut steel, rhine
stones and bronze Is upon us. This
probably sounds the kneN of the strap
slipper of sandal type. II the strap re
mains, the chic Of the shoe must lie In
buckle or similar ornament. Gold
tassels or pendant ornaments studded
with brilliants are seen on the newest
evening slippers.

PAUL REVERE RIDES AGAIN


In 4 patriotic observance the city
Of Boston, with the cooperation Of
several adjoining communities, in ac-
cordRnce with an annual custom, COM
memorated the famous midnight ride
of Paul Revere. The celebration In
Boston began the night before April

ant of one of Paul Revere's contempo-
raries hung lantern in the belfry of
the Old North church, just as was done
on the night of April 18, 1775. Then
on April 10 the ride to Lexington was
repeated by man on horseback,
dressed to resemble Paul Revere, and
who followed the route taken on that
historic occasion. The messenger de-
parted from the quaint little house In
North Square where the real Paul Re

the crowded Italian quarter the old
house stands undisturbed among the
modern buildings that rise above 1t on
oil sides
In spite of the momentous conse-
Quences of that 18-mile ride In the
Eighteenth century, comparatively few
persons saw Paul Revere as he raced
from hamlet to hamlet to spread the
alarm of the British advance. The
population, Of course, was small; and
besides the only thing which the Light
est sleepers could have seen as they
tumbled from bed was furry Of dust
and dim figure disappearing in the
