SHOE COLOURS

THREE REDS (PBOM OUB OM CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, October 26. Royal colours include reds, wines, purples, cyclamen, clover and sapphire bxue. They all impart richness and dignity to the fabrics of this coming autumn. Shoes are such an integral part of any costume to-day that it is important to know how the new shoe colours will fit into the Royal colour schemes. Generally speaking, of course, colours have to be toned down somewhat for shoes. So those chosen for autumn by the British Quality Shoe Association — which exists to encourage the production and wear of footwear in which the best in craftsmanship, colour, style and material are combined —have not ali the glowing brightness of the Crown Jewels. , But they are still Royal colours. There are now fewer than three reds —rich and subtle shades to harmonise with wine red dress fabrics and to contrast with other autumn colours. The brightest is Oxblood, a rich robust colour of a bluish tone, especially suitable for sports and country wear and for combining with bme. Cranberry is a softer shade of wine with more yellow in it, the attractive colour of the berry from which it is named. It can be worn equally well with bluish fir greens, cooi browns and blues, as with matching tints. Perhaps the most distinctive of the three is Chateau wine, a subtle shade with a brown undertone, the essence of good taste and elegance. This is a very pleasing colour, too, for handbags, and one that is going to be greatiy in demand. The choice .\n blue is a useful medium shade of navy called Commander Blue, which contrasts excellently with wine shades or the more vivid reds, with peacock blues and misty pinks. . y Three other interesting and exceptional shades are:—Brazil Brown, a greyed brown for town wear, which looks well with the subtie peacock blues or the brighter Chinese reds; Briar Brown, a "live" reddish tint, and will go with almost any colour, equally suitable for town or country wear; Melbury, a delightful medium rust, useful to enhance the bracken golds and autumn rusts in dress materials.

Powdered potatoes, which need only the addition of warm milk or water to become "mashed." have been produced by a scientist. The powder saves space and weight, reduces carriage, and is not a "perishable store."
