Smart and Sensible is the Season's Footwear

By Bene Mansfield.

I I ,tion distinguish the season's

may have to pass laws about the length of hatpins, but at

feast we do not need to thrust Into prison, as In the days of King Charles, snthuBiastlc followers of fashion, the toes of whose shoes were so long, and iharp, and pointed, as to be a menace to the public welfare.

Our heels have come down our toei have spread out and flattened dowi to comTortable and rational proportions and our predilection for freakish lasts has quite vanished. A glance in the window of any fashionable boot shop discloses the attractive and practicable features of the new fall styles. One notices, first of all, the pleasing lack of ornamentation on the dress shoes as well as the street shoes. The majority of the dressier styles have no

tip, , while those On, the heavier boots are greatly simplified, depending on stitching rather than perforations to effect a neat finish. Very few lace shoes are being shown, except those In the more mannish cuts, Intended essentially for athletic wear or street use. The fourteen button 3ength is preferred, although some of the sturdier models, in gun metal or tan calf show as many as sixteen. , Toes are comfortably round and full, while heels, though not as low as many of the summer styles would seem to have Indicated, are reasonably low and hroad, without detracting from the undoubted charm which the more extreme modete possess. The woman who likes to carry out

the color scheme of her costumes to the last detail will be glad to know that overgaiters, to match one's dress

or suit will be much worn during the winter. Cloth top 6hoes are also considered very smart, in gray and tan

and pearl, as well as in black. A bit conspicuous, but most attract

lve on a slender foot, is the button

boot with the top of check cloth, usu

ally in black and white. The vamp of

patent leather has a long wing tip,

which is stitched and perforated.

Only eight good-size, flat buttons were

used on a light weight patent shoe with

a cloth top, which had a comparatively narrow toe, without a cap, and was most flexible and well cut. Grey suede

and white buckskin are also considerably used for the tops of dressy little boots for afternoon wear.

The Directoire modes, which will

hold fashion's 6tage this season, will exert an influence, charming and distinctive, over shoe styles for evening wear. From beneath clinging, trailing satin draperies, satin clad feet will peep, in pure French style with spark

ling buckles, or filmy rosettes, or In Colonial demureness.

The bewitching French heel, beloved by women and execrated by wise, wise men, is displacing once again the less becoming, if more sensible straight heel, for ultra-dress occasions. Metallic effects have also to some extent given place to daintier fabrics and ornaments. Fluffy chiffon rosettes, some of them dotted with crystals or tiny pearls, buckles of Rhinestones and of the popular seed pearls, and Colonial buckles in various new finishes these are the principal slipper adornments that will be seen during the social season.
