· DEPEND ON TYPE OF GOWN WORN.
There is little doubt that even- ing shoes this season will dopend for their appearance upon the type of gown which will be worn. With a dress which nearly touches the ground at the back and clears the toes in front, a model with a. vamp showing a little decorn-
tive effect, will be charming.
If the gown is ent up at each alde so as to allow some of the ankle to be seen, a sandal shape cut low enough to show the form 6f the foot will be effective.
With another type of frock, the heel will obtain more importance. There are some lovely shoes to be seen for evening wear in crepe-de-chine. These are especial- ly pretty in blonde shades, in pale blue, pink, lilac, pale green, and yellow.
