Fanciful Footwear Retains Favor With Formal Costumes Slippers Unornamented and Molded to the Foot Plain Black Hosiery Almost Banished Smart Sport Footwear for Autumn Country Wear What Fashion Demands for the Masculine Foot. -

than sharply arched instep continue to be favored by fashion, and there is a tendency toward thinner and thinner soles for street wear; dancing boots having turned soles and curved French or Spanish heels. Though patent leather retains its vogue for combinations . of black leather with colored and white buttoned tops, fine black kid is coming into fashion and there are some distinguished dancing boots, all black, of soft, fine kid highly glazed, and with fourteen rather large white: pearl buttons. The gaiter-top effect prevails in street boots, and by curving the line between

Sola

top and vamp in various ways, great variety of style is obtained, borne of the colors for buttoned tops in gaiter effect are: haze green, soldat blue, field gray, forest fawn and metal brown. A "stay of patent leather running up the back of the boot, and sometimes all the way up the front seam in straight or curved outline, adds to the fanaful effect of the boot on the foot. ' SLIPPERS MOULDED FOOT TO THE This year's dancing slipper is the prettiest thmg imaginable, made of softest

kid or satin and cut. on the prevailing long, slim yet so molded to foot and instep that it seems a part of its wearer not an article of dress put on. This effect is heightened and enhanced by the unbroken lines, guiltless of ornamentation in the way of rosettes, . bows or buckles. A tiny button or cabocon of pearl or cut jet is all that fashion allows the slipper now, much to the advantage of the foot, which looks smaller and more dainty because of the molding lines of its. covering.

SPORT FOOTWEAR HAS A V , CODE OF ITS OWN - The-high laced-shoe -is smarter-for sport wear now than the lower oxford, and skirts are so short that the stockings , show in any case. - For sport wear very ' gay hosiery is the choke,' bright' colored silk stockings being matched to sport coats and hats, and striped, checked and plaid patterns in bright yet pleasing hue having special vogue. The sport shoe of . canvas or buckskin has a low heel, either added to the sole or set between inner and outer sole the latter style is more becoming- to the foot. White sport shoes are trimmed with perforated strappings of tan leather and of suede in color, and for autumn golf and tramping : m ' the country there are good looking- sport shoes of tan calf, built on semi-mannish lines. - -' r

MASCULINE. FOOTWEAR fVERT. MASCULINE ' While buttoned shoes are' deemed the . correct, type .far formal . wear . for men: . and women alike, and while men's boots, as well as women's snow the top of con ' trusting color and , material,' masculine foot-covering is as different as possible from feminine. While woman's boot axe-built to give her foot utmost daintiness and coquetry, man's footwear emphasizes the masculine characteristics ofc strength, size and virility. .The Engfisla last, long of line and very flat of heel, is still adhered to' and variety is achieved! by combinations of material. A smart boot for the street has a dull calf vamp and buttoned top of "neutral gray cloth. Dress boots are -of patent leather-with beautifully fitting buttoned tops of blade twilled cloth, the. aim being a distinguished effect of slenderness combined with simple, severely smart lines. -;
