JEWELS ON DANCING SHOES

Latest Idea Is About as -Far as the Present Day Extravagance Can Go. The whole gamut of brilliance and magnificence has been rung so far as dresses themselves are concerned, and smart women have been forced to set up a rivalry in dancing shoes, which are studded all over with jewels, even to the heels.
