Others, ?of -.tinsel- brocade.; have straps coming to a centre on -• 1 the insteps under &' large oval of srtlid • paste the- centra j. of sapphire .blue or tnby red with a couple of rows '.of paste •' diamonds as ' a frame, or perhaps . this buckle is of' seed turquoises on a founda- < ; 3 tion of some turquoise bice composition. : \ - Other shoes will have a little paste" flower where the shoe fastens on either . side, each flower having a centre of sapphire,, which is apparent to be a shade which will be much 'in evidence this spring.
