HOES with long vamps reaching well up over the ihstep are a feature of the new winter models." This long front line has persisted through the summer months, but most frequently on toeless models.
Now for winter, since it is more practical, the toe- less shoe will usually only be seen in the evening.
Heels are rather high, except for sports wear, and fronts are often laced up, or patterned in cut-outs.

Occasionally evening sandals are most elaborate. One model had a bunch of mother-of-pearl grapes which formed the vamps, to which was attuched a vine waf in block velvet at either side. The heel plece also All the leaves were realistically veined in gold consisted of a vine leaf.

No. 3 in the drawing shows an evening sandal with the new wing-Ilke line. The material is black crepe sutlined in silver kid.
A silver kid strap is placed high on the instep near the ankle and the front of the foot is sheathed, the lines curving away gently, leaving the beef exposed. Note the open toe piece.
The large perforations through which the stocking is seen give the impression of an attractive spot pattern.
Elastic feather is a new material used for footwear. The jodhpur boot seen in mekiel Nu 4 is made of it.

Only two-thirds of the quan. lity of sugar normally used is then required and the fruit is less liable to cause dyspepsia. It is also best when stewing fruit to add the sugar five or ten minutes before the end. The cooked fruit is thus sweeter.
A teaspoonful of glycerine added to every pound of fruit reduces the quantity of sugar needed for jam. It also does away with scum, the jam itself is clearer and it keeps good longer.
