The models being shown for summer wear at Home are as gay as the frocks with which they will he worn.; and the wide range of colours in which they are presented should enable them to keep in step with the brightest of materials. Bows are the most popular form of adornment; made of ribbon, leather, snake-skin, and .cut-steel, they are placed toward the right side of each shoe, poised like butterflies on the centre of the vamp, and used to attach decorated straps of leather across the instep. Sometimes these straps are twisted into the shape of tiny wings. Narrow leather pipings in contrasting colours are used to decorate many models, and beige canvas shoes of Court design are stitched on the front and round the sides with a gay pattern in shaded wools. Sandals in vivid colours have very long, narrow straps which can he twisted three or four times round the ankle.
