Silver Ruling Color.
The extremities of the mode were
presented with an unusual opportunity
this season and they have not been
slow to improve it. The simple silhou-
cite and the general prevalence of boy
ish styles have placed an additional
premium upon shoes, which are more
striking than for many summers.
In Paris only the most elaborate
shoe is modish for evening wear A
steadily increasing vogue exists for
dancing slippers in multi-colored metal
brocade, many of which have flashes
Of red in the brocaded or warp-printed
pattern.
Silver slippers are worn with
toilettes of all colors-indeed, even in
combination with white evening dresses
they are favored above the white
shoes Many of the most handsome OF
these silver models are bordered with
tiny rhinestones, the brilliant mock
jewels following the outline of the
straps and the openings.
Hellstern features evening slippers
with flexible crescent-shaped orna-
ments which follow the outline Of the
cut Of the slipper itself. These orna-
ments are very elaborate-they are
made of sterling silver set with rhine
stones, and each little section is Joined
to the other with a flexible hinge. Most
often they are washed in an antique
tone of gold and deliberately chased,
but they invariably emphasize the dull,
antique finish.
Hellstern's newest color for satin
evening slippers is shade of copper
brown. This hue Is effectively con-
trasted by bands of antique gold CLOTH
which form the border and straps OF
the shoes. This designer features
principally the closed style-he is max

from the open sandal.

For afternoon wear chOcOlate-cOl,
ored leather with bronze and antique
gold trimmings is most popular. This
type of leather is developed in two OF

to bring the shoe into harmony with
every dress of beige tone. Bronze kid
slippers are also being sponsored by
the principal Partisan bootmakers:
The bizarre we have always had with
us-and it has been as distinctly
stunned by the modish woman as 1t
has been eagerly welcomed by her sar-
torially sensational opposite.
Yet there comes time in the his
tory OF IaSnlOn when even IT'S HIoSt
basic principles must be momentarily
discarded, and it is daily becoming
more apparent that such period is
rapidly approaching. There has been
a sameness about the styles of the last
few seasons which reflects no credit
upon the couturier. Straight silhouette,
plat, cloche, black and white, slender
lines, have all become phrases which
are equally descriptive of every mode
Of recent years. Even the undeniable
beauty of some of the new frocks can
not overshadow the fact that the cur
