AZURE SHOES ALSO PINK LIZARDS OTHER FREAKISH MODES Women will .wear blue shoes this spring. The artists who ordain women’3 fashions have ordered this, and their handiwork—shoes of almost every shade of blue—is now reflected from a thousand shop windows in London. They are wonderful shoes, indeed! In a favourite shoe shop, dark blue court shoes, hand-painted with tinv violets, vie with soft blue shoes of Interwoven shades. In other shoe shops blue shoes are to be seen In different types merging from pale hj'acinth blue, that promises an interesting finish to a summer frock, to deep navy. A shoe expert gave a forecast of the appearance of women’s feet during the spring and summer months: “Blue of every conceivable shade will be worn, but the favourites will, I think, be shoes of Lido, azure, and Air Force blue,” he says. Snake Skins “Crocodile and snake skins will change their natural colours to comply with Fashion’s decree, and lizards are appearing in chameleonesque colours of blue and pink. “Sportswomen will like the monk shoe, a tongue shot with a single strap fastening that gives the foot a long appearance. “The Burma sandal has superseded the old Charleston shoe, and in the summer a wooden sandal enamelled in bright colours with fancy leather strappings will be a favourite. “The price of skin shoes, which is so much lower than it was last year, indicates that they are not quite so fashionable as they were. “This is partly due to the fact that the reproductions have grown remarkably like the originals. “Trimmings are placed across the shoe in the new models instead of running from heel to toe.”

At Registrar’s Bride in Beige & Scarlet Party at Grand Hotel COTTER—LOUISSON At 11.30 this morning, Mr. Matt Carr, of Wellington, was impatiently pacing the steps of the Registrar’s office in High Street, and gazing up and down the road for a sign of the car bringing the bride whom he was to give away. A few minutes after the half hour a big blue limousine slid round the corner, and a liveried chauffeur sprang out to open the door, with its silver monogram of “L.L.” that will now have to be changed to “L.C.” , Mrs. Lucie Louisson, the only daughter of the late Louis Elirenfried, of Auckland, and Mr. Thomas Harold Cotter, the only son of Thomas Cotter, K.C., of Auckland, stepped out together, and had their hands enthusiastically shaken by Mr. Carr, who was the only person there to see them married. The bride was dressed in an attractive frock of beige lace wdth a draped coat of beige crepella over it, and she wore a scarlet hat of crinoline that relied on a sweeping red bird of paradise plume to give it distinction. After the ceremony Mr. Matt Carr gave a luncheon at the Grand Hotel in honour of the newly-weds. Iceland poppies in a wealth of vivid shades made the tables gay, and colour relief was given by soft greenery. The guests at the luncheon -were: Mrs. Cotter, sen., Mrs. Coleman, Miss R. Coleman. Mr. and Mrs. Wade, Mr. and Mrs. I-lain, Mrs. Largaville, Mr. Louisson, Mr. Myers, and Mr. Baildon. LEAGUE OF MOTHERS MANUREWA BRANCH .
