FASHION FINDINGS

Let’s Talk About Shoes Amongst the newest ideas in Parisian and American footwear is the “spool” heel. You don’t know what that is? Well, I’ll tell you. The “spool” heel consists of trim layers of leather, alternating in the colours of the shoe itself, and is the very newest and smartnest note for the fashion-conscious. Shadowed Hosiery One of England’s leading hosiery firms has introduced something really different in stockings shadowed hosiery! This is an important step in hosiery advancement and beauty, with the stockings skilfully shadowed in a contrasting colour to deceive the eye and slim the leg! They are made of the sheerest silk, with the faintest of coloured shadows from front to back. For the girl or woman whose legs are not her best feature, such hosiery will prove a real godsend, and it is to be hoped that our own manufacturers will not be long in following this brilliant lead. Gloves are Important Gloves are going to be more clever in the future and more artistic. Reverberations of the Edwardian vogue echo in the new short length, mother-of-pearl wrist buttons and coloured stitching. Coloured linings are gaining popularity overseas, and silk em-

broidery makes its appearance once more. You musn’t buy your gloves haphazardly any more if you want to be fair to your new autumn outfit. They must be carefully matched or toned to give the final accent of smartness.
