~ ROUPING accessories has be-
4 come almost fine art.
I Matching shoes and hand
~ bag, and finding suitable
gloves to wear with both of them,
used to call for a lot OF foot work, as
well as head work; but now our up
and-coming shoe shops are SO COM
pletely accessory conscious" that they
are bedecking their windows with de-
nghtful combinations Of good taste,
that also include handkerc chiefs, scarfs
and jewelry.
Your shoes are the most expensive
accessory to any costume and there
fore it is only logical to buy them
first and match, or harmonic, the
other items with them. When they
are all in the same shop it IS much
easier to do this.
Take, for instance, that tricky new
idea, the tipless glove of perforated
kid presented alongside the toeless
perforated sandal, such ideal team
mates for Spring and Summer after
Moons! These dainty gloves need not
be removed for fear Of soiling the
finger tips when refreshments are
passed, for there aren't any finger tips
there, and the pull-on gauntlet type
Of thin kid or washable doeskin Is
quite cool enough. These gloves and
sandals come in high shades Of Spring
green, pansy purple and other colors,
as well as white.

THERE was a timely suggestion IN
a new hankie Of white linen
printed in a repeated pattern Of three
dainty royal plumes, like crest. And
the loveiest white bags that you have
seen in years. This season they are
using great variety of white processed
leathers-alligator pigshn calf and
patent, all equally interesting. And
newest OF all are straw bags, light as
a feather and smartly casual.
Have you seen the chapeau bag,
made from the unblocked body OF =
white Panama hat and gathered up
with bright cords passed through
large eyelets around the top like
sewing bag? Little flower sprays are
painted on the outside and the white
cotton lining Is printed In the same
Dolly Warden design.
Imported crocheted gloves are
going to be worn again this Summer,
and some of the most attractive ones
were found In shoe shop with the
white shoes. The pattern Is new and
fascinating, and the price not too
high. They also come in black, navy
and beige. Another shop is showing
some cobwebby thin mesh gloves that
you will hardly know that you have
on. These are in white, navy, black
and brown and are only $1.00
The matching shoes and hand bags
Of natural linen, trimmed In brown
leather are going to be very popular
and with them the beige crocheted
lace gloves would be perfect.

COSTUME 1ewelry in . shoe shop
does seem to scale the very peak
OF the accessory idea, but why not?
There's an intriguing little bauble Of
q necklace with seven vari-colored
pendant stones. The first letters Of
the names of these stones spell out
the word dearest" and it is all very
nice and romantic for Summer eve
nings when the conversation is made
up Of sweet nothings." The necklace
starts it of by prompting the ques-
ton, "Why all the different colors?"
Then comes the little story about the
seven letter word made from the
names Of seven precious stones, and
that will carry you along beautifully
for half an hour at least!
In another shop they are matching
up those new rough straw hats with
nsw straw bags In the sams roushsh
braid. fashioned slmewhat Like folded
