PRESENT FASHIONS IN SHOES

Wide Variety, and Btyles Show Many Changes From Those That Have Been Worn. Cuban heels thinned down a bit from the more substantial heels of a season ago, distinguish all street footwear of the ultra sort, while heels of early French periods, with upwardturning toes, are the preferred sort for v the dress slipper. In contrast to the checked-topped shoes there are to be seen occasional, spats of white or castor color worn over black or brown shoes, or over those of antelope-finished calf, which is a more practical walking shoe than the patent-vamp article. In summer ties there are also examples of cloth and leather combinations and those in which suede and polished leather are combined. In dress slippers there are most expensive trifles in lace end in cut-work over pale-toned silks or satins—Harper’s Bazar.
