NEW YORK, April 9-Shoes step
I'D to new Importance and dignity
in the new mode because longer
skirts throw them into high relief.
One may have beauty, grace, and
comfort this spring if she has the
right understanding Of chic. And
color to bootl
Never were shoes so elegantly
conceived and so beautifully pro-
duced. It is the dressmaker touch
in these footnotes of style that
makes them such lovely and desir-
able things.
In selecting the Easter footgear,
the smart woman will consider their
after-wear and appropriateness.
Since so many of the nations
women work this year. it is a good
thing to keep the Office in mind
when selecting the entire wardrobe,
and especially shoes. For good
locking footwear is a first essential
to a successful, well groomed
woman.
An Important FOOtnOte
Colored kid shoes, with fine de-
corative touches Of dressy reptllian
leather or insets of fabric, straWs,
and even lace, are one of the most
important spring fashion notes.
II one has the blues this spring,
IN costume and hat, she by all
means should have blue shoes to
match.
Green shoes and purple ones are
excellent for street wear and are
being worn in great numbers. For
dressy wear and for sports, it is
quite the thing to have shoes made
OF the costumes fabric.
But the shoe that cleans eXpertly,
IS dressy and practical, is the shoe
perfect for Easter and the working
days that follow.
There are three outstanding types
of shoes for suit and frock wear this
spring. First comes the conven-
tional pump, developed in exquisite
designs. with decorative touches.
Several COlors Good
Blue. black, green, tan, brown,
violet-the kid pump is excellent for
soft dressmaker suits that have
classic simplicity in their hand
made tailoring.
Since many, many women simply
can not wear pumps, it is a mistake
to try. because the bOttiers have de-
siened innumerable strapped Slip
pers and sandals that have the grace
and beauty demanded by this sea-
sons STYLES, and perfect comfort in
addition.
Third in type comes the two or
three eyelet oxford, with medium
heel. Today's oxford of this tyre
has none OF the country tramping
look about it but rather the dainti-
ness that steps into a taxi cab or
trips along a smart thoroughfare.
Two feathers Smarter
Two feathers are smarter than
one in all types of shoes this year.
Both are good taste. But one OF
the other of the colors chosen should
be the one of the suit, frock or coat
that the shoes are worn with.
For wear. WIFI GAlt Va VIC oNAAAA
sheer worsted dreSsmaker suits, in

pination, a classic pump of brown
kid is made with a perforated,
painted tip and dot and a fine collar
and quarter of matching lizard.
For the woman who can not wear
pumps but demands great chic in
footgear, there is a stunning black
kid and gray snakeskin oxford.
Kid Joins Snakespin
It is a very dressy pair of shoes,
made to perfect one of the light
weight tweed suits. or little dress
maker suit in a gray mixture. The
black kid joins the SnakeSkin in
pointed scalloped design, with an
eyelet at each point.
For wear with a blue silk ensemble

T-strap sandal has been designed
in blue kid, with lizard trim.
The blue kid fashions the quarter
and vamp, fitting down, in quite the
dreSSmaker fashion, like a yoke over
the lizard. The T part of the strap
is of the lizard and the strap proper
