NEW YORK, May 1.-The race
OF chic goes TO the light-footed this
summer.
You scarce can feel the heft Of
most Of the new shoes for warm
days, SO featherweight are they.
You practically have to look down
at your feet 10 make sure you have
any shoes onl
They are cut with a maximum
Of open -nindedness, use the light
est Of materials and the finest Of
workmanship, and in addition
stress the rage for delicate pastel
hued accessories.
Greek Sandals Rejected
American women, however, have
rejected the Paris innovation Of
open Grecian sandals, worn with
out stockings, to show cleaning,
tinted toenails out from under
dance frocks.
According to Delman, foremost
American bootmaker, the only
places American women will wear
sandals without stockings are on
the peach and for lounging.
His rayishing display of summer
footeear stresses opera pumps,
OPEN cut sandals with high heels,
one or two eyelet oXfords with me-
dunn heels and unlined sports
shoes with flexible soles that make
them pliable as gloves.
Dress Materials Used
J The materials that go into shoes
this summer repeat the riot of eX-
quisite dress materials that con-
fronts US. In addition to the usual
shoe materials, such as kidskin,
snake, lizard, python and other nov
city skins, there are the most deli
cate eyelet embroideries used, tus-
sar silks. figured crepes, cleaning
damasks, fine printed and plain
linens and even panama.
Pink and blue combinations for
dressy daytime sandals are sum-
mer's contribution to the dainty
organdie and dotted Swiss frock
vogue.
Yellow takes a lesser place in the
favorite color scheme, greens are
very good, and many delicate law
enders and pinks are being dyed
to match frocks.
The increased vogue for brown
and white is stressed in summer
shoes, both in street pumps, OK
fords and sandals and in sports
things.
Some of Two Materials
The shoe that uses two materials
is seen much oftener than the sin
gle material shoe. Also, the use of
two colors is very good.
Sandals are the most intriguing
of new footgear. They use cutouts
on the side. across the toes, even
in the back. Some of them seem
to be mostly straps, with tip to
boot.
Eyelet work plays a big part in
the summers vogue.
For daytime practical street wear
the low-cut oxford vies with pumps
for supremacy.
One c@ the most popular of the
oXfords combines beige snakeskin
and brown calfskin fashioning most
of the vamp, the lines that hold
the lacings, and a dinagonal strip
from under the arch to the back of
the heel.
Open Sandals on Boardwalk
On the boardwalk, an open SAN
dial Of woven bands of brown and
white leather is smartnesS persona
fed If you want to be very gay,
slippers in blue and white checked
gingham match your mood.
Or if you are a conservative, there
are charming strapped linen SAN
dals in monotone blues, reds, pinks,
yellows, or other tones to match the
figures in your pajamas.
Under the tables Of the smartest
roof restaurants this summer, you
will see the twin print idea in crepe
silk, the delicate open-shanked SAN
dial made in black and white print
in a smaller sized flower than your
printed dress of the same design.
This is a T-strap sandal, fasten-
Ing with a handsome little brilliant
buckle in squarish design.
II you prefer plain color for your
printed chiffon, there is the emer-
aid green crepe de chine open-shank
sandal, with high heel and ankle
strap, trimmed with silver kid and
satin landings and silver pipingS.
