DOZENS OF ODD FABRICS

The Comes

Spring shoes are really exciting! Shoes are out" and out doing things this year and suddenly they are taking on as much personality and; interest as a spring bonnet. most unprecedented changé in the materials out of which they For the last year now are made. everybody had learned to watch for strange and beautiful and unusual fabrics in the coats and frock we wear. Textures have become as im portant as style or rather an in- trinsic part of slyls. And now this spring this idea has been taken up by the shoes themselves.

Instead of this or that leather being "the" things-dozens of odd fabrics-materials--strangly treat-

ed

leathers--unexpected combina-

tions are all going to be used. It: does not mean that high class shoes look taudry or too conspicuous. They have managed this thing in a most convincing way.

Practical Style

One of the most practical new turns of shoc styles, which will op- peal to most women and likewise be worn by them, is the texturing of both calf and kid. Both of these they leathers are so treated that

look like reptile or nigskin—and they are called crushed calf and crushed kid.

The advantage is that they do not scuff or show wear and they clean perfectly. In white shoes it is going to be a terrific, boot- for those who frot about on white feet all day long in the summer time. Then there are perforations -stitchings-combinations of two leathers all these things which give distinction to a shoe.

Decorations Give Touch Of Colour

A few seasons ago amart women carefully tended a wardrobe "gar- den" of buttonholes in which variety of blooms made of every conceivable textile fabric, metal, skin, wood, glass and porcelain had its place. These little decorations; gave the touch of colour that com- pletes the modern ensemble.

Bows and scarf-ties now occupy much the same place in the outfit of the well-dressed woman, and one suit or two-piece can carry # whole repetoire of bows in varioua colours.
