BOOTS TO MATCH THE GOWN

Costume and Footgear Must Be of the Bame Material—Shoes for Dancing. “How much do I require for a pair of hoots?” is the question which the smart woman may have to ask next time she ih buying material for a new frock. _> ’ / A representative was informed at a leading house the other day that the latest fashion from Paris decrees that costume and footgear must be made of the same material. Tl}UB a striped tweed will necessitate a pair of boots of the same tweed,' and a blue serge will be worn with blue serge boots. The representative was told that it was usual to have the entire boot made of the dress material, but it was permissibly to have the fashion carried out only in the uppers. “The boots are very comfortable to wear,” it was stated, “and they make the feet look much smaller, as no prominence is given them when they are clothed in the same material as the skirt. “In the matter of house and even-’ lng shoes the rule is not stringent. Patent shoes are being worn a good deal, and so are satin laced-trimmed shoes. “Gilt and silver kid shoes will he very popular for dancing.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
