Last year when all of ua were treading the path of service la the military boot, and those who weren't were wearing cm anyway, there was talk of the shoe factories adopting a last which all men's shoes should be made. It was a foregone conclusion that the soldier would never stand for or on anything else, having once known the solid comfort and absolute Joy that a Munson last can give. The

manufacturers were a bit dubieus about making any fancy lines at all, for fear they would be scorned by the returned warriors as well as their civilian customers. But it seems that the reverse Is bound to happen, even where men are concerned, and the retailers are having the surprise of their lives In the demands they are having for fancy goods in the shoe line. These boys who have trekked the path to

victory have no Idea of leaving any

more broad footprints behind them, but are insisting on as pointed toes

and as fancy styles as can be shown ta.em. The result Is that new lines are having to be hurried out to meet

this sudden change from the expect

ed. Shoes for the early part of the season at least had been constructed

along sensible lines, and reflected the military in the tipless vamps and broad

last. But things have changed and are changing until one doesnt quite know what the styles will be, except

that they will be fancy.

We will Bee the same colors In

leathers, black calx, chocolate brown.

mocha and the different shades of tan

which are always good. Patent leath

er will be seen In dress shoes as usual, though many men prefer the dull finish both for comfort and unobtruslveneas. Contrasting color cloth tops

are not seen so much as last year. Some very excellent combinations noted for afternoon wear are dull calf with dark gray tops, mocha brown with the same shade broadcloth top

and lighter brown always with the same or slightly lighter uppers. Kangaroo has no equal in the leather line

for ease and durability, ana it is weu

worth the extra dollar or so It costs.

Russian leather and calf are next in DODularity. As stated above, toes will

be more pointed than they hare been

In some seasons, if popular demand is anv criterion, which it nsually is.

Heels will be about the same, maybe a trifle higher. Oxfords will have mnch of the wing tip and gingerbread

treatment, and white sports shoes will again show the colored leather trim which has been such a leader. Spats

are enjoying a huge popularity and

are shown in shades of brown, heather

and fawn to tone in with the new

spring suits and top coats.

For the past few seasons we have

bowed to the inevitable, accepted the

curtailment of variety In our footwear

along with the curtailment of other luxuries, necessities, formerly considered. We wore the prescribed heavy walking boot, flatly sensible and appallingly uncompromising as to weight no matter how swagger the cut. But

this spring, praise be, we are to be allowed more latitude In our selection of working shoes as well as play slippers. We may be as frivolous as we like and nobody will say ua nay. After

all, who can tell what a difference shoes may make in the paths we may follow? With skirts growing shorter and scanter as the days grow longer, it behooves us women to look to our

feet and the nrospect of their con-

spicious costuming with no little concern and forethought. French women have a habit of changing from their street shoes to

house slippers as soon as they return from a walk or a shopping tour. Not that there is such a great difference in the two kinds of shoes as the Parisian wears them. Both are frivolous, absurdly high-heeled affairs, entirely feminine and far from coincident "with our ideas of comfort and correct dress. But tnat is neither here nor there; the idea is a good one, and ours to adopt if we so fancy. There is a tendency to dressiness In most of our new summer oxford3.

Former flat heels have taken on a layer or two, and soles are not quite so heavy as those of last season. Shoes are accomplishing the feat of being smart without sacrificing comfort, which fact attests once more the supremacy of American artistry in bootmaking. Suede is the new fabric for all kinds of shoes. It even enters the realms of low heels and comes out victoriously swagger in appearance. Black, brown and gray are the prevailing colors, though it is permissible this year to have this soft, lovely, not to mention expensive and hard-to-cleaa material, made up in green, blue,

henna or other odd shades to harmon

ize with one's trotteur. Heels are

from sdooI to the threench French

variety.

For morning wear mocha or black oxfords are the favorites among the smartest dressed women. Wing and

straight tips are both seen in the shoos and more than a few of the

new shoes have their vamps unsul

lied by seams or stitchings. This

style is not to be courted, however, unless one has an extremely narrow

and well shaped foot.

Satin and suede vie with each other

for Btrictly dress wear, and mat kid follows a near favorite. Black and gray with cut steel and Jet buckles

are In excellent taste for afternoon

slippers. One particularly chio ox

ford Bhown by an exclusive shop has a Louis V heel, four eyelets and s plain vamp encrusted in Jet beads.

Brilliant buckles adorn many of w

plain or brocaded, buckled or bowed as one is inclined. Flesh colored satin, continues to be seen also, and coming to the fore once again are slippers oC satin dyed to match one's gown. One of the wonders of every spring is tho white kid slipper with dull Jet buckle, which was considered so smart a number of seasons ago, and whose popularity has never waned. Sports shoes are returning to their original charm, in that the weird quiltlngs of bright leather which have had such a furore are left off of the smartest boots. Buckskin as soft as velvet and doing its own ornamenting with perforations and fancy tips, is seen as the summer favorite. For those who feel that they cannot brin? themselves to invest their year's savings in the precious leather, there are equally as attractive if not so durable styles In canvas and its followers.

chance to see all the latest and smartest creations of "style." Extensive preparations are being made by the Lee B.

Short suits of the semi-sport type, showing novelty features, will be shown. The varied vest effects In the suits seem to be uniformly popular In the new models, sometime the vest being wide and much In evidence and again it Is a mere inset of contrasting color, breaking the one-tone effect of the suit proper. Elaborate Fur Display. The coats to be shown are interesting. The cape and dolman type seem

to be the favorite.
