OFFICIAL REPORT ON Q-TOL

The Government Pathology Department reports most favourably as to the powerfully bactericidal properties of Q-TOL. ~ The healing effect of Q-TOL penetrates well below the surface, hence the variety of the uses for which Q-TOL is successful, such as chilblains, rash, burns, bruises, or tired muscles.

variety, which was not an amazing collection of straps and fastenings across the front of the foot.

It is impossible to tell whether ordinary leather or reptile skin is the more popular. Nowadays a kid shoe can be grained to imitate a snake’s markings, and a lizard confuses one’s conjectures as to its origin by being dyrd a brilliant colour. Combination effects have become dear to the shoemaker’s heart and we find plain kid vamps with contrasting straps and binding round tlie back. A RAINBOW RANGE A shoe has to have something very new about it to appear unadorned. Cowskin pumps are a freak of fashion and are too daring to allow of ornamentation. There are also breitschwantz shoes which rely on the originality of the material, but the new' prune-coloured patent pumps, which caught our attention a month or two ago, are already considered too dowdy to appear unadorned, and now appear with bands of matching kid. or dyed snakeskin. Fashion's decree for shoes permits of any colour, provided it is chosen to match the costume. There are greens and blues and mauves, to say nothing of beige, heavily striped with eggshell blue, but, as far as I can judge, the palm will go to rose, peach and faintly-vermilion shades. When the rage of colours is exhausted. there is always jewellery to fall back upon and the new buckles are more splendid than they have ever been before. Topaz, lapis-lazuli and crystal are all seen, set in rich velvets.
