SHOES MATCH SKIRTS

PRACTICALLY THE KEYNOTE OF THE PREVAILING STYLES. 2 Any Color That Will Combine With the Dress Material Is In OrderMay Be Laced or Buttoned as One Wishes. The new fall skirts demand a special manner of walking. The tiny. Japanese-like steps of last season are not at all the thing for today, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. The new loose outline calls' for a gliding step which may be described as “pseudo-classic” and this step cannot be successfully accomplished unless the lower limbs have absolute freedom. A fascinating novelty is tbe new Russian boot, very high in the leg, which is made of supple gray antelope skin. These boots are intended to accompany gray tailored suits and they are certainly smart and attractive. * I spoke in a recent article of the growing popularity ftf dark-blue leather boots. We now have darkgreen and very dark-crimson leather boots added to the list of popular favorites. Our wotoen of fashion have

quickly realised that the ultra-short skirt calls for a high boot; which matches it, more or less, in color. These high boots are generally laced on the Inner side, but buttoned boots are also fashionable. For beige and pale-tan suits, boots made of suede in the same color are exceedingly chic. The head illustrated shows one of the latest millinery novelties, introduced by a famous Parisian artist The little toque is very small and close fitting. It is made of Belgianblue straw, and the long scarf is composed of silver-gray shadow lace, while a single pink rose of great beauty is placed carelessly at the right side. The long lace scarf is folded across the brim of the toque and then passed round the neck, one long end falling

over the left shoulder. Here «.,» have a revival of an old and very charming fashion. These loose veils were immensely popular in the middleVictorian period, and they were then made of embroidered tulle, very fine silk muslin and lace. A few years ago similar veils were very much worn at Biarritz and San Sebastian in the autumn season, but they were then accompanied by widebrimmed, flat hats, and the veils were thrown loosely over the crown, one long end being passed over the shoulder. ' \ Very close-fitting toques are again fashionable. These curious little models are shaped like bowls and they fit down over the head. They are simply trimmed with a cluster of flowers or a jaunty bow of flowered ribbon, and to certain faces they prove infinitely becoming-Belgian-blue is one of the specially popular millinery colors of the year. It is a lovely shade and it harmonizes perfectly with the clear, old-fashioned pink which is so much used on hats just’ now. This pink is deeper and brighter than the pink of American beauty roses but on the same tone. Reboux is making exquisite toques of Belgianblue straw which have an effective touch of black on the crown and at one side a bright pink rose or camelia.
