Red-Heeled Slippers.

It was only natural that the Incoming of effective little frocks should have brought with them the high-heel-ed slippers of the Louis XVI. period,' with their Immense buckles in front and their slashes of red behind. There Is a new kind of heel, too, which is used on these black slippers, and it makes the foot look about three Inches shorter than it is. One would say that it was impossible to walk in them if one had not witnessed the ability of women to get along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish heels that put them on stilts. We have learned during the last three years that there are few limitations to what women can do in the name of fashion; if ever these Louis heels are adopted by the majority of American shoemakers, women will wear them, and nqt only turkey trot in them, which is all very well, but they will go shopping In them, which Is all very wrong.
