NEW YORK, Marsh 12.-One
may, it seems, pay as big price
as one wishes to put ones best foot
forward in the spring fashion
parade this season.
For keeping step with styIs de-
mands a tremendous diversity of
footwear these days. Milady may
now be as individual in her choice
of shoes as chapeauX.
Paris is sending over some love-
ly assortments of beautiful shoes
to set the pace for smart feet.
Andrea Perugia's collection con-
tains style pointers in profusion. In
cut, color and materials they are
original and stimulating.
For High-Steppers
The greatest innovation is brand
new sole that stands the foot a half
inch off the floor. 1t sounds like a
beach clog. 1t looks elegant.
A first glance may make one
stare. But, after seeing women
dance in evening slippers with this
sole and then change to ordinary
soles, you have the instructive feel
ing that their feet are practically
on the ground in the ordinary Slip
per.
The half-inch sole, incidentally, is
highly decorative, with either hand
carved flowers or jewels set in it.
These new soles are light as a
feather, being made of very light
wood, aluminium or aluminium and
leather.
They have three sections, cross
wise, with grooves between, to in
sure extreme f1exibility for walking
or dancing.
Open Sandal in Favor
Since GOODNESS is most desirable
or spring and summer, the open
shanked sandal predominates, the
more open the better. Since all
styles have grown more subtle,
shoes this spring will not contrast
with costumes but blend.
Therefore black and bright coIors
are out. Beige and pastels are in.
And such luscious pastels!
For walking, golfing, tennis and
other active sports, black and white,
and blue and tweeds or blue and
white vie with the classic brown and
white sports models.
For daytime street wear the beige
pump or one-strap sandal is ex-
cellent. So is the blue pump, two
eyelet svelt oxford, or pump made of
lizard or any other novelty leather.
Pastel Kid Is Good
For afternoons, pastel kid, crepe
de chine or satin sandals or pumps
are excellent. For evening the slip
psrs must be as luxuriously fash
Toned as milady's gown, which is
nowadays surnptuous thing.
The less slipper there is and the
richer the fabrics making it, the
more successful the dancing slipper.
Rose beige crepe de chine evening
pumps are the best choice for the
first pair which must serve with
several gowns.
After that, they should be as dec
orative as jewels, softly colorful,
fashioned of kid with suede or satin
appiiques in exquisite pattern.
For the white gown and the black,
the exceptional is worn, the bril-
liant red and gold slipper or the
silver and black.
Sandal Has Clog Sale
The Lido T-strap sandal with
Perugia clog sole is the latest Paris |
idea Of the afternoon shoe for party |
wear 1t is made Of lavender-blue
satin, with metalized wooden sole |
and heel to match.
For street wear, Milady slips on
the neatest, SWEETEST adapted pump
that is cut almost as high as an
oxford, but the extra vamp is cut
out like a bowknot and stitched
around in original manner.
This is the new ''naStic" colored
kid and calf combined, soft greyish
beige shade that is equally good with
tans, browns and greys.
Newest and most exquisitely gor-
geous of all is a dainty event: slip
per in pastel green that has little
sof' blue in its color, combined with
the new half-inch sole and heel of
sculptored silver.
The toes and heel are open, with
dainty straps of green kid with floral
appliques like the sole and cells
