popular evening styles. Satin is, per-
haps, the most used fabric for evening
slippers at the moment, with velvet
close runner-up. Gold and silver kid
or metallic cloth with stripping Of
braid or metal-fi finished kid are an ex-
cellent choice, and often may be dyed
if desired. The black slipper with a
metallic sparkle is more conservative

not care for the contrast of vivid
color, and will often harmonic with
number of gowns.
HIGH-CUT fabric shoes with metal
kid pipings or embroideries. or
with rhinestone detailings in eyelets
or suggesting embroideries are shown
for formal dinner wear. These are
suggested to go with the jacketed din
ner frock, sleek and mannish, long

One of the most attractive evening
sandals from the standpoint of smart
ness, range Of materials in which it
is presented, and interesting price is
an open heel and toe sandal with we'll
covered vamp section that may be
worn with or without ribbon bow at
that point. In velvet it is shown in
lovely shades of green, red, blue, brown
and black; it comes in gold and silver
kid and also white satin, to be dyed
according to individual preference. A
splendid last, with name that you
would be proud to mention anywhere
and a price so reasonable you can treat
yourself to more than one pair, any
one with young ideas will love this
sandal.
The feeling for extreme elegance
is exemplified in the exquisite sandal
and matching bag, shown in the CEN
ter of the sketch. OF handsome bro
cade in glowing colors with a shim-
mer Of gold through it and piped
with narrow gold braid. These two
are the seasons smartest accessories
to wear with the gold lame gown,
or against background of rich vel
| vet in one of the colors combined in
the fabric; against handsome white
brocade they will give the needed
| touch Of color. The bag has an in
teresting jewel clasp Of topazes under
which passes two gold-covered cords,
and Is lined with ivory satin and
fitted.
Another evening bag that looks like
King Midas himself Is entirely of
blistered gold kid, which gives an
unusually bumpy effect and "hand-
some" is surely the, word for this
one! A black velvet bag with a cord
in the top like an opera bag is stun

design worked out in pearls and tiny
dull gold beads. This was shown
In recent exhibition of smart ac-
cessories and received much ap-
plause.

black satin and faille, rising to high
points over the instep with q satin
ribbon passed through rhinestone
eyelets. Very smart, very new, it en-
phasiSes every. style point for this
type of shoe. Among the white dye
able slippers. Just received in town,
is one that carries out the new fan
idea In an open toe and heel sandal
with gold kid folded in fan shape
pointing to the toe and opening out
toward the inStep, from the point
where you might expect to see a
buckle or bow
The classic Grecian sandal Of cro-
cheted gold metallic thread with gold
kid heel, and lining of red satin is
another bit Of evening glamour that
will do duty with number Of formal
evening gowns It is just different
enough to attract attention, and gilt
tering enough to carry the seasons
stamp Of approval. A sandal cut
very high at the front Is the silver
lame shown at the bottom of the
