PARIS WOMEN WEAR BROGANS

Scotch Shoes, With Overhanging Tongue, Come Into Fashion in French Metropolis. From Paris comes word that the low shoes, which well-dressed women of that city are wearing, are especially meant to go with the new length of skirt which the majority of the French couturiers have advocated. Many of the new shoe fashions have been taken from those worn by actresses id successful plays running during the winter at French theaters. Some of these include low-cut shoes tied with wide ribbons, the loops standing out in Louis XIII fashion. Others suggest the interlacing ankle strap for the low shoes. Then there are colonial pumps, which seem always to be in good style, particularly as the accom-. paniment of the tailored type of costume. The Scotch brogan with its overhanging tongue is said to be coming into fashion among some of the Parisian women who advocate distinction in their shoes. The perforated decorations of the Scotch brogan have been copied in some of the high shoes.
