pers. is fashions very best and
easiest way of adapting shoes to
the present vogue for period cos
tunes.
How High Heels Originated
OF course, the modern shoe is in
itself faithful descendant of the
footeear of the most romantic pc
Rod of them all. Louis XIV, who
vas short and fat, and who lived
in a day when clothes meant more
to manor woman-than at any
time before or since, invented the
high heel as a means of attaining
new dignity of stature. The fash
ion took with both sexes, SO that
even the men of the reign OF
Queen Anne in England tip-toed
across muddy streets to keep their
red painted high heels immacu-
late; and no matter how comfort
able the walking heel of today, or
how sane, when a lady dresses up
she must have them highl Point
ed toes. too, take US back to the
day of the same Grand Mon
arch whose high-heeled shoes
boosted also long toes that turned
up and backward, like the ridicu-
lous belled toes Of the old-time
court jester.
Heels and Toes-TOday
Red heels are not in style just
now, and we generally keep our
toes on the floor, but similar de-
sire for feminine elegance guides
US in our choice of new shoes.
Most modern shoes attain that
feminine elegance merely by eX-
quisite workmanship and the use
of dainty decorative detail, be the
shoe an oxford tie, strap slipper
or the ever popular pump. Ger
tain French designers have gone
even flrther in offering US these
designed especially to meet the TO-
mantle mood. One is sandal
laced from side to side with rib
bon which ties at the ankle in a
haw; another is strapped low
across the instep and flousishes a
large bow right on the strap. A
favorite for evening wear is the
toeless sandal
Period Shoes Buckles
The most common and the most
practical of period inspiration,
however, is the pump, more often
than not ornamented with a
standing buckle. Shoe buckles
were a matter of personal pride
and of competition among leaders
of fashion during the Seventeenth
century No self-respecting per-
son, even in the NOR eordinary Cir
cles of society, would be seen
without shoe buckles. These ear
lier ornaments were of engraved
brass or silver, and very large. OF
this type were the Colonial buckles
such as shone on the square tOed
pumps in which bellies of the Re
volutionary period stepped then
way through the stately minuet

In Victorian days they were made
of pewter, enamel, mother of pearl,
Jet, tin, or blackened steel.
Buckles-TOday
The shoe buckle offered for your
selection today is a large hollow
or solid square made of polished
metal of cut steel or ivory. When
the pump is of bronze kid or satin,
as many of the best pumps are,
the buckle is frequently of bronze
metal or tortoise. Smaller buckles
are set with brilliants, and many
of them are made like dress clips
and can be put on or taken off at
will.
