Unadorned Pumps Are Still “In” NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-XU.R>-Witli all the joy of a glad gurprige the bright satin slipPW has danced right into women’s hearts Thev are the last w . jr d in evening .Uppers, and the last word in coquetry and sophistication It is a haPW coincidence that red and green, the colors of Yuletide were , cce ptcd in time for the holiday festivities. (With a black frock or a white one wltat'a more effective than these vivid slippers, so often Rashing a crystal or rhinestone buckle, or shaking a dazzling heel.) To be gtrlctl tnithfu ,

however, there is a rather overwhelming majority of unadorned satin opera pumps being worn. of the interesting observations regarding being gayly shod is that I intr icacy of styling has quite dlsap--1 wared, and decoration other than the buckle, or the less frequently seen jeweled heel, is considerably less in evidence Satin is the usual thing. While crepe de Chine dyed slippers rank first for novelty this season, satins are in the lead, which is entirely understandable since satin is so strong a favorite for frocks with which they are to be worn. Rett slippers are almost without exception of the most vivid hue, scarlet, lipstick, cherry and so on i w hiie green ones are vivid only when ' a strong contrast is wanted to black I or white. There are stunning orange satin, royal purple, and sapphire blue I ones, all unrelated to the frock which for some reason endears them the more.
