the hope that Germany would
use it again against eastern Eu-

Shoes
Shine
By Eleni
-

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The longer
skirt lengths are placing a lot OF
emphasis on shoes this Fall. Shoes
may be accessories" but q shoe
that does not flatter may ruin an
otherwise attractive costume.
In shoes you may choose between
either . high-riding up -the-foot
model or 4 downward line. The
pretty" look Is the thing. AS a lead
ing shoe man told US several days
ago, Regardless Of what fashions
predominate, it is . pretty shoe
that will always sell to the Ameri-
can woman"
Earl Teschon IS q leading footwear
designer in New York. So is another
young man named Evins. They are
both agreed that the shoe fashion
cycle has found itself repeating the
era after the first World War. They
are also agreed that America has
the finest skins in the world with
which to make shoes. Nowhere, for
example, Is there suede to match
ours. This, plus advanced machinery
and prophetic young designers such
as Evins and Teschon, has made
American women the best-shod In
the world.
Silhouette Is probably the most
important theme for shoes this year.
High-cut models will have simple
lines and fragile ornamentation
They Will be restrained, ladylike
and designed for the longer, be they
fuller or simmer, skirts. They'll
fiatter pretty ankles and . graceful
instep.
Straps will be handled In little
different manner. Some will be
double ankle straps; others Will be
two straps tnterlaced or braided to
achieve the new high-riding look.
Closed-up shoes, such as, the opera
pump, are another Of falls smartest
styles.
Heels will be thinner and q hand
made custom look is to be found in
many Of the new shoes. Detailing,
such as scallops, draping and as
symetric lines, are in the shoe pic
ture. Platforms continue in the
lineup, but are greatly modified
from last years.
This falls shoes, as are the new
fall fashions, are individual, femin-
Inc and boast Of . lot Of variety.
They depend, as do the fashions, on
eye appeal. A shoe wardrobe will
include both the closed-up and
|opened-up downward-moving shoe
|silhouettes.
