I '.') -.a siioe matching the costume exactly ( 4' '! : In. color will be very modish, but it is 1 ' ;i 1 tl,so expensive, and consequently is a J Jr ' fashion for the few. Some of the dark blue and violet leathers are beautiful, I , 5nd a pair of dark blue tloa laced-up . , . with heavy white ribbon and made for ' . wear with a blue and white yachting 't J , ' costume are particularly attractive. j i i Patent leather is. as always, In de- i' mand, and the patent leather and black , ! " leather models follow the lines shown In j . ' the tan hoef The very masculine i walking shoe has had its day, so' far as j i j , general popularity is concerned. 1 k i , ' The white Phoc in all forms Is an ex- 1 ' i pensive luxury and should be affected I ' ! j j only by wearers who can afford to have L ( , 'i such shoes fresh and Immaculate; but ' ' 'Uy - almost every woman today has at least I; i t two or three pairs of white leather or ; ! canvas. shoes? in her summer outfit, and ,( ' 1 i if she wears thorn .carefully they may 11 I'rist her through the summer. In j ' I. , Slippers and rancy shoes for house , '1 I fc and evening wear arc legion, and the ) ' negligee footwear I a story in itself. ) More nnd mere it is thought essential. , H ,', 1 to have the evening sllppera match the , II ) ' evening fioek In color. The woman who I' ; J 1 " can afford It has a separate pair of slip- j 1 j)(;rs for each frock; those who cannot. : I , i 1 . content themselves with wearing patent I f leathers, or slippers of Jjeaded or em-I I broldorfid suede or satin In black or In soft gray and other neutral tints. Black satin pllpperi; hand-painted or ombroidert-d in little pompadour designs de-signs are exceedingly dainty, and the same treatment is accorded to white and to colored slippers. Old brocades, too, are usvd for high-heeled slippers that suggest the tastes of the Louis, and cloth of gold or of silver, plain or brocaded, is much fancied for evening slippers. v 1 Handsomer Shoo Buckles. Shoe buckles are handsomer than they have becii In many yeai-s and some of them oommand extravagant, prlqes. Stcte'l and rhlnestones form the. buckles nibst frequently seen, but gold, silver and real jewels ornament the dainty footwear of some women. Among the negligee slippers the mules are perhaps the most attractive. They are made in flowered brocade in clotlj. of gold and silver, Jn. embroidered sllics, satins and fivep velvet. They have absurd high heels and .arc. finished rfiound uy tiny quillings of silk, satin and lace, and altogether "they are the most' rldlculouslycoYjucttish and fanciful fanci-ful little .proot's . of women's tvanily Imaginable. Im-aginable. ' " - . The stocklngs'lo accompany the dainty dain-ty shoes and slippers of the seauorfare worthy of .such good society. Shot silk stocjeinga ' In tdue and black, red and black, brown and black1, etc., are fpc-ctally fpc-ctally -smart for street wear, and the heavv quality, most deslrTible, Ji.re an extravagant fad, 'for $7 or 58 a pair Is the "usual prlf6. In less handsome quality shot silk stockings may be bought for half that sum. Designs Aro Changing. Th embroidered stockings are prct- tier" than tliey have been for some time past, because the designs are daintier, I smaller and iriore becoming to the foot. 1 The heavy raised embroideries of lasj ! winter urp still seen, but nr pt so popular pop-ular as the tiny wreaths and sprigs and butterflies and dots, etc., . -' Insert lace Is still popular, and openwork' open-work' stockings have a certain vogue, although they are not so popular as tlfey were a year ago. Plain, ilne silk stockings with cotton feet combine the practical and the beautiful beau-tiful in very satisfactory fashion, and the manufacturers have also learned enough wisdom to fortify the tops of some fine silk stockings with extra thickness, so that the garter clasps shall not work such havoc as they have In . the prist. Gold and silver enter into the embroidery embroi-dery design df some of the evening stockings, aAd paillettes are, also used, : but. though effective, they are not generally gen-erally liked. Not only arc they cxpen-I cxpen-I sivc, but the average woman has a ra tional prejudice against stocking? that appear to have been designed with no reference to their being washed. "With tan shoes stockings exactly matching the leather In cdloi- aro considered con-sidered necessary, and white stockings, plain, embroidered in white, or of openwork open-work design, are the things with white ties. |
