Shoes and Stockings

Although -dai'k stockings are making their appearance for street wear, those accompanying evening toilettes are almost invariably' flesh colored, made m. a very fine weave,- and. with. .a narrow openwork clock. ..'■-■.'• CHOES are plain for dancing ahd rather more decorated for reception and dinner wear, when brocade shoes with elaborately cut sandaV straps and . paste buckles, are worn. Dance shoes are either plairi court shoes or have a narrow single strap over the instep — -quite without . decoration or buckle. These shoes are worn (to set the materials m order of popularity) m blonde satin, m dull silvered kid, of m satin dyed to a deeper shade than'that used for the frock. Sprnetimes these colored shoes are very pretty— a girl, for example, seen recently iri a draped frock of heavy white satin with a green shoulder flower and jade green slippers looked very well. Colored stockings,, on tlie contrary, are seldom successful. At dances, women appear to be less encumbered with, vanity cases and oddments than they were, and. usually they have .only a small envelope purse of gold brocade to carry. . . •'• *
