BOOTS AND SHOES.
As the summer holiday means living in the air as much as possible, it is important that boots and shoes should be fairly stout and quite comfortable. Brown shoes for morning wear are most useful, as they show the dust less than black ones. There are various shades of ' brown ' leather, the smartest brown shoes being something of the shade of brown paper. Some very fashionable walking shoes of black glace are made with long tongue-pieces and buckles, and require neither buttons nor laces. American boots, which are gaining favour in England, give a very slender appearance to the foot, but at the same time allow plenty of room by their almost exaggerated lepgch. ' To be comfortably shod means much to the enjoyment of the holiday, and a point to be remembered ia buying bcots or shoes is that it is just as necessary for the footgear to be sufficiently broad. Short shoes and boots are often responsible for enlarged toe-joints.
