LaUiSh on
Foot gear

NEW YORK, March 26.-If you
want to get down to fundamentals
in Easter chic-new shoes are posi-
lively intriguing
Don't Gez ror plain shoes. New
ones are dressy. Sometimes they
use three feathers to make 3 pair,
often combine two colors and are
prone to indulge themselves in the
matter Of trimmings.
Patent leather, lizard, snakeskin
and all the other reptilian skins,
and calf and kid in many pleasing
combinations are used in the new
spring shoes.
Various novelty materials, such as
suya lace, which is a coarse open
work fabric, looking much like
strong, coarse basket weave hemp,
are seen, too.
Vary With Wearer
Oxfords are varied as the types
OF women who will wear them.
The low cut OF some Of them make
them dainty as pump, only much
easier for the average woman to
keep on her feet.
One-strap sandals, in coIored kid,
with some kind of fancy insets Of
lizard or other skin, are excellent
Tor printed silk froCks, for silk
suits and later on for the printed
cottons and Yoiles.
Pumps are chic, as usual, >ld
80 IN for fancy perforations, t4le
shank trims and heels OF medium
nigh cut
The favorite colors this spring
are brown, black, navy, and that
rudy red-brown known as OK
blood
There are many fancy colors,
however, as purple, green, maroon,
but the very light shoes Of beige
and gray will come later on for
summer frocks
Contrasts are Smart
Don't be afraid to wear a good
looking pair Of brown shoes with
blue suit this spring. Or OK
blood with black. Or brown with
gray or blue with a brown outfit.
You must shed your idea Of
matching things this year, for con-
trast is the slogan and the woman
who has good taste in her own con-
trasts is the chic one.
Tips, open-Work across the vamp,
novel pointed and curved contrast
ing insets and landings Of differ
ent color from the main part Of
the shoe make oXfords and sandals
dashing and stimulating.
You can get a medium heel, but
the heel that is a little higher
makes the oxford much dressier.
The leather heels are reserved for
sports and semi-sports shoes and
covered heels predominant.
Pumps in Wide Variety
AN impressive collection Of in
dividualized shoes for different
Easter costumes included a pre-
ponderance Of two or three eyelet
oxfords, some sandals and a wide
variety Of pumps.
For wear with a brown and
white printed silk suit, there is a
brown calfskin and white suva
lace combination that is new and
pleasing
The tip and shank are of the
brown, and the white suva lace
makes the rest OF the shoe, with
brown bindings and laces.
For a sleek gray OUTFIT with laven-
der and purple accessories, a Par
messiah purple kid oxford is cut
with an eyelet trim and one-eyelet
lacing, with grosgrain ribbon.
With a snowflake black and
white imported wool and printed
silk ensemble a dressy oxford of
black calfskin and light snakeskin
has an unusual cut, with the tip
pointing up to make the lacing
portion OF the shoe, and then the
rest of the shoe snakeskin except
stripping up the side and the
very black Of the shank.
Svelt Sandal Shown
For a silk frock, there is a svelt
blue kid one-strap sandal, with an
unusual outside decoration of
bowknots of inlaid lizard in beige.
Beige lizard and brown calfSkin
fashion a trig pair of two-eyelet
oxfords, with the light -toned liz
ard reversing the order and fash
io,,ing the fin and Vannp and the
darker calfSkin carrying on from
there.
For wear with a print that de
serves a light shoe to carry it, there
is a Swanky suva lace pump in
pastel tones made with contrasting
color stitching it and forming a
wedge at the back of the shank.
A fiat little bow of the shoes ma
terial trims this pump
