latest invention of the Paris boot
makers if she were to come TRIP
ping into some modern ballroom
Reantiful golden slippers are ap-
pearing at all of the smart shoe-
shops. Made of soft kid. covered
with goldleaf, although extremely
simple in line, they have a mag
netic charm. In general, they
have a half-pointed toe and
high Charles TX heel. No orna-
ments are added. because they
are not needed-not even a simple
buckle. The same style of plainly
cut shoe has also been made In
silver; and Madame Gamma Walska
wore a lovely pair, with her
charming mauve chiffon robe,
when playing her first comedy
"L'Habit Vert" last week.
The simplicity of the silver and
the gold slippers is sharing honors
with those in more elaborate bro,
cade and lame. The latter are
frequently ornamented with bead
incrustations and strass. Evening
slippers appear in all colors and
often match the gown they are
accompanying, if they are not in
silver or gold. Evening shoes, in
llght-colored brocade, are gar
nished with heels covered with
pearl leather. A silver lame has
pearl buckles, and a flesh-colored
satin is ornamented with jet.
For shoes the shade called bis
cult is becoming increasingly
popular. This color is also used
as trimming on browns and beiges,
but the pump. or plain strap shoe,
of kid. entirely in this color, is
fast becoming the accepted YER
sion for all frocks and occasions.
It's popularity comes from it's
harmonising possibilities with hois
de rose tints so much in favor.

A NNE's a nice enough girl.
"A Dick remarked in a tone
that was casual-almost conternp-

overheard But she comes from
a small town and has thrown the
key away"
1t wasn't the words that hurt
Anne. She wasn't sure just what
Dick meant, unless he inferred
that her unconventional manner
of living would ostracize her from
the prim circle that was her small
town home.
But there was not a trace OF

But she had accepted Dicks in.

young man from out of town he
wished to introduce to her.
Dick cooked dinner for the
three in his bachelor kitchenette.
Anne had thought herself very
modern, very broad-minded in go

an older woman az chaperon. She
flattered herself she could take
care of herself, and she knew
Dick was trustworthy. But she
resented just that odd lack OF re-

herself

This remark had impressed

realized its truth.
