By day, soft leather sandals with Blender high heels and amusing Turkish toes. Cinderella slippers are in glittering gold fame encrusted with sequins. These have the tiniest of Louis heels placed well forward under the foot.
Sophisticated note for cock- talls....black patent leather court shoes trimmed with bows or roses of black tulle.
Great fun are the harlequin slippera embroidered with multi-coloured tinsel checks.

fashions, personified by the Princess of Monaco, all the rage for the last 18 months, are as out of date as last summer's hats. We have instead, a new girl for spring, who typifies the fashions of 1958-Kay Kendall, the actress-wife of Rex Harrison, with the long-legged coltish look, boyish figure and tempestuous face.
Personally, I find the now girl more exciting. Beside her the Grace Kellys look positively insipid,

DOGS INVITED
SLEEVE dogs — those
tiny
canines that can be tucked into muffs or cont sleeves-were once an important part of an elegant wardrobe. That, was before the poodle stole the doggy fashion show.
In an attempt to revive the Madara sleeve dog fashion, Madeleine. Vramant invited all the smartest and smallest dogs in Paris to be salon. For the occasion she designed “a special coat for four-legged members. Very chic, no doubt, but I still prefer the Doodle who gets around on his own four feet. By EILEEN ASCROFT
Women
heart
HE very recent activities of Miss Linda Christian, who has lost her heart again, and Miss Lollobrigida, who is suing a film producer for breach of contract in connection with a proposal that she should make a film with Mr Lex "Tarzan" Burker, made me wonder what it is about these girls, and a handful of others, who have a special gift all their own.

Miss Jayne Mansfeld is even now enjoying honeymoon of which only dedicated recluses und the Antarctic penguins, busy with their own procession of VIPs, haven't heard. Miss Manneld, onco a pleasant- looking girl with mouse-brown hair, is a triumph of the do-il- yourself will to succeed.

Men who guide
the destinies of the world
wear Rolex watches
YOU KNOW their names as you know your own. You know their faces from a thousand newspaper photographs, their life stories from = hundred magazine articles. You have seen them and heard their voices on newsreels and on your television screen. Their actions and deci- sions influence the pattern of our lives.
We cannot mention their names, or show pictures of them. It would not be fitting to do so, for they include royalty, the heads of states, great service commanders. But we invite you to look carefully at the next pictures that you see of them, at their wrists as well as their faces and clothes. You will notice that in almost every case they wear a wrist-watch. That watch will most likely have been made by Rolex of Geneva.
We are proud of the service given by Rolex watches to so many eminent men. It is scarcely necessary to point out that these watches ore, in the highest degree, accurate and dependable.
