HOES with long vamps reaching well up over the instep are a feature of the new winter models. 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 mudel had a

bunch of mother-of-pearl grapes which formed the vamps, to which was attached a vine leat in black velvet at either alle. The heel plece also consisted of a vine leaf. All the leaves were realistically veined in gold and sliver threacia.

sketched by Angrave.

This has a short toe piece and edging all round of a narrow strip of patent leather; then to give the fashionable long line the instep Is alled in with suede, very inely tucked perpendiculariy. But it is the ton piece that cotelies the eye and makes the foot look smaller.
