Another novelty are satin 'shdes with vamps entirely covered with silver, gold; or both metals in a mosaic pattern. The tiny metal pieces are stamped on, like the gold and silver designs on Indian shawls. Sometimes the glittering elleet is enhanced with brilliants.

By this means the plainest satin shoes are converted into expen- |sive-looking articles. In Paris a speciality is made of pairs of heels at the bijouterie shops. They aro gay and sparkling things of gold and black set with brilliants of all colours in artistic designs, und are often entirely of flashing French paste.

colours made of feathers, which almost conceal her feet and ankles.
