Flowers on Her Toes

(From Our Correspondent.) London. Buttonholes are to be more in evidence than ever during the coming season, and Miss 1927 has found yet another place for wearing them—on her toes! The latest shoes for evening wear include a large number of models which have flower buttonholes instead of buckles, the former consisting of either chubby round posies or decorative sprays. Black satin slippers decorated with Victorian posies of pink rosebuds and forget-me-nots, framed in silver-paper frills, are an example of the new mode. One or two women on the Riviera have been wearing a huge buttonhole flower on I evening shoes, the flower sometimes being considerablj’ bigger than the shoe. The effect is rather bizarre, and is onlj’ possible at all with women of tiny feet. An original effect was conceived by a dance girl who had a beautiful pink carnation on the toe of her right satin slipper. The buttonhole looked as if it had been dropped casualty into the position it occupied. Wearing a flower buttonhole on the toe of only one shoe is a quite attractive “sideline” of the new fashion.
