BOOTS OF MANY COLOURS.

FASHION'S LATEST FAD

LONDON, Feb. 25 ro be assured that one's hat and dress match harmoniously is not so important this year as to be certain that boots, gloves, and\ waist-belt are in the same tone of coloiit-.

''The latest fashion in boots is to have the uppers made in coloured suede to match the gloves and waistbelt," a West End bootmaker said to a newspaper representative. '1 his little fad of fashion will usher in a widely required reform, for all ladies who desire to follow this mode must have their boots made for them.

'Ladies now bring me their belts and gloves to copy when*they order their spring boots. The effect is very smait. For instance, black patent leather boots would be fitted with grey suede uppers, and worn with a tailormade grey tweed frock, with grey gloves and belt, and a deep red hat. Brown boots are fitted with brown or cream suede uppers. "One of our customers recently ordered a most original outfit. She will wear a. white serge dress with belt, to match, and two scarlet quills in her white hat. -

'We are making her a pair of white boots with red suede uppers to match this toilet. .

This design, however, i s in too startling a, colour to be very widely followed, but the more sedate shades of aark green, brown, grey, black, and prune suede will be largely in evidence."
