Evening star., 1937-12-10

yourself two pairs if you dance a
lot and have several evening frocks.
for these shown, like all the others
mentioned today, are priced at around
50. This is new low for formal foot
wear that comes in a variety of gold
and silver kid, with three heel
heights, as we'll as lustrous brocades
and combinations of black satin with
silver or gold. For the girl who has
to stretch her pennies these little
numbers are most welcome finds,
especially at this season, when there
are so many items to be considered be-
fore Christmas. The wise girl will
probably choose one pair of either
gold or silver, because they harmonic
with almost everything and a pair of
black satin with touches of metallic
trim for the dinner type of dress.
There are also plain and brocaded
white sandals that can be quickly
dyed to match any gown.
Continuing on through the year
with the shoe wardrobe, midwinter is
the time for galoshes. Did you krow
that you can get a pair made of thin
rubber that are interlined for SO cents,
and a grand pair of white ones with
fur for evening at 50? Then when the
weather man has done his worst and
we get around to March and April
once more, there will be gay prints
and bright tweed suits, and footwear
will have to be replenished again.
You'll have to have at least one new
pair Of street shoes.
So far this shoe budget has entitled
you to six pairs of shoes, including
galoshes-walking, afternoon, dinner,
formal evening and new shoes for the
first spring suit. Our budget maker
believes that nine pairs of shoes are
ample for all the requirements Of q
business girl during a year, and at
So pair the total figure will be $27.
Having gotten as far as summer on
our schedule there is still an allow
ance of three pairs OF white shoes for
town and vacation wear. In all prob
ability the average girl, if she does not
plan beforehand, will spend much
more in the course Of year for shoes
and still not have the variety that
this budget offers. It's just something
to think about!
ROUDOIR slippers, of course, may be
more extravagant affairs, for gifts
at least. They may be of lovely jewell
toned velvet with touches Of metallic
kid. They are using satin putting
around the ankles as new trick on
some of the velvets. Mules may be
Of white or pastel satin, studded with
jewels. White bunny fur makes a
cosy-looking pair. The variety to be
found in these slippers is infinite. +

WHILE scouting around one of the
shops we came upon q crowd of
people standing quietly absorbed in
watching young artist make a very
nice pastel sketch of young school
girl. He worked quickly and we'll, and
completed his lifelike sketch in short
order, much to the interest of his
audience. He sells the sketches for 81
and said he would probably be around
till Christmas.
Christmas shopping Is at its best.
Local stores are making things very
gay and festive for the crowds of pur-
chasers that throng all the aisles and
I'LL every step Of the escalators. A
number Of shops have installed organs
and the music Of Christmas carols
rises above the hubbub OF busy coun-
ters. Huge bells outlined in electric
lights are all ready to ring In q Joyous
New Year. Inside, bells are made OF
dozens and dozens Of white handker-
chiefs fastened on frames like petals.
The children's windows filled with toys
draw crowds Of all ages. The story of
Snow White" is acted out before your
eyes, electric trains speed around the
tracks, ducks quack and dogs wag their
tails and nod their heads, but there's a
cold wind blowing and a few hard
flakes of snow, so well have to come
again to see the rest.
