However, I expect it sounds made an attempt to do away with very much more alarming than it pleated frocks-first, because these is. It seems to me that there is an indication of our old friend the pudot in the skirt; while I know the oval expanse of back is a la mode. Silver shoes complete the toilette, and if you can "run" to brilliant studded heels so muck the better. Talking of studded heels, I saw a woman in the foyer of a theatro only last night who was wearing a silver cloak over a green chiffon dress, and her silver shoes had scintillating heels. I never realised until then how much difference a heel can make to` a woman's toilette. Her cloak and gown, although nice, were not ex- traordinary, and the same remark might be applied to her face; but on the strength of those heels, my eyes followed her wherever she went, and I formed certain private resolutions anent "diamond" heels next time....
