FRENCH HEEL.

By Alice Lanaelier-

Correspondent

PARIS.
FASHIONS come and fashions
60, and this time it seems to
be the turn Of the famous French
heel:
Ever since the American inya-
sion ii has been losing ground.
American women living in the
capital began to demand the heel
they like and the bootmakers were
forced to find something for them
to wear. Then; too, the Parisienne
is gradually getting more ''spor-
tive. Now that she is walking
more and more, she is finding
out that her shoes must be more
comfortable.
Anatole France, who once said
that a woman's foot should al
ways be kept at an angle OF forty
five degrees. would probably turn
in his grave If he were to see the
heel getting lower and lower.
More and more respect is being
shown for the general shape OF
the foot. Round toes. or those
which almost follow the real curve
of the foot, are more and more to
to be seen. Although French
women never could wear the ex-
treme American points for their
feet are naturally short and wide.
Buckles have suddenly become
fashionable again and are seen
on day as well as evening shoes.
There have been many women
against them. but short skirts,
where there is nothing to catch
on them, make them a reasonable
style, and the Cromwell and Lang
try modes In nodernized forms
are coming out in beautiful bro
cades and lanes. They are really

Cut-steel buckles are very chic
and the smart shops are also
showing a good range OF enamel
wooden and synthetic gem ones.
Evening shoes of colored brocade
with "cut-outs'' of silver or gold
kid and fancy straps will often
have a small jeweled buckle OF
stones in the dominant color.
