Silver Sandals
For MiIady

The lovely Countess Roberti,
tall and blond and as graceful
as a willow, firmly believes that
every costume should have its
individual oxfords, pumps or
sandals.
Yesterday she added to her
collection of evening slippers a
pair of brocade and silver
which she has had tined pearl
gray. They are made with sill
yer kid heels and trimming.
Last week cerise satin pumps
completed a costume she was
planning.
Committing between New
York and Washington is the
favorite pastime in the Robert
V. Fleming family, now that
Dolly has married nice Bill
Renchard and makes Gotham
her home.
Bill and Dolly leave here to-
day to return to their cozy
little apartment at 16 Park
Ave-, which they have just
about finished furnishing. They
have selected Colonial furni-
ture in a light mahogany and
their color scheme is light rust
and green, in the drawing
room. Peach shade with a
touch of turquoise blue here
and there-a bow on a lamp
shade or a boudoir pillow
makes the most attractive bed
room seem like part of a dol
house.
