That old ndage about groomed heads and yell-shod foet and how they will make up 201 many deficiencies in the rest of the attire still holds good. Indeed. these details are inore important than ever, because the majority of voinen have become so much more particular about bair and bats that any carelessness becomes noticeable

-All Sorts of Fittings. Shoo" manufacturers of to-day can bo congratulated in very many instances. It is still difficult to find fittings for excessively slender hrels, but not, as it used to be. impossible. The owners of normal feet can find almost anything they want, in all sorts of fittings. ́n
Coloured shoes are more rarely seen in the day time as compared Black with the summer months. and several tones of brown have Lukan their place. Although some. afternoon models are still cut in very open shapes, they are entirely unsuitable for, winter weather, and, therefore, much less attractive than the simpler types which cover the foot more adequately.
Black shoes, of course,
are for black clothes and sometimes for grey ones. Brown, especially the dark nigger or very deep russet, is better with most colours, includ in many casos grey,

For the evening there are always crêpe de Chine and satin. The firet of these tends to make the foot look : smaller, for the same reason that a dull surfaced dress material is more slenderising than a shiny one. Velvet, so long confined to mules and bed-room slippers, is also mak- ing its appearance with evening dresses, very reasonably when there are gloves to match.
The majority of good evening frocks are happiest with shoes to match-in an open sandal shape i! the foot is well shaped and well looked after and the stocking very fines in a court shape or modifier aandal if the foot is not all that.. it might be.
Very open shoes (like very open fish-net stockings) are positively brutal to even minor deficiencies
Beige Returns
Almost every woman, whatever fier type, will be glad to know that printed chiffons are showing up again after their brief season of disfavour. Beige seems to be com ing into favour again which is an other tendency which is sure to please. Beige suits are quite the Intest fashion.
This deliciously cosy looking coat is made of camel's hair wool dyed bottle green. The jaunty scarf in flams and orange not only adds a warm colour note, but serves to keep out the coldest blast.
PARIS NOTES FOR THE WHITE FLARE
The latest hairdressing whim to hit Paris is the "White Flare in the hair" fashion. Artificial flares are produced by means of a new Shampoo. "Besides the softly combed flare of the waved head, there are original flares which ap pear to grow from the nape of the neck and show in the chignon of, curls, or else, starting at the crown continue down into a fringe over the eyes.
POPULARITY
MUCH has been written about,
the clinging type of girl, the highbrow girl; but what type of girl is really popular
Well, of course, some will say. it is a question of individual taste; but really in most things men are very much alike.
