HER FIVE PAIRS OF SHOES

FOR THE WELL-DRESSED WOMAN

Every smart women is aware of the important part which her shoes play in the make-up of her chic, and that no clothes, however modish, can cover up the deadly sin of dowdy or wrongly chosen shoes. But not every woman is possessed of an income which enables her to buy shoes to go with every separate outfit, and so avoid the calamity of having to wear shoes which are not “quite right” but which will “have to do.” A little ingenuity, a control of extravagant ideas, and above all a very carefully considered choice, balance a superfluous amount of money, and I very often outweigh it! 1 She should have one pair of singleI strap brown willow-calf shoes, brogued ior plain, for morning wear. These can be used for town or country, and for wet days in general. For purely country and golf wear low-heeled brown lace shoes should be chosen. Additional comfort and endurance will be secured if these are furnished with scafes soles (small rubber studs). Doeskin and patent leather have their countless admirers, but I should like to point out that a pair of black crocodile court shoes will last much longer. These can be worn either with smart afternoon frocks or on fine days with a tailor-made. For summer frocks one’s mind jumps to the ideal brown and white kind, but the occasions on which these shoes can be worn are limited. A good substitute is found in a pair of beige-colour-ed kid court shoes. These are suited for wear with light-coloured furs, as well as all summer frocks, and can be dyed to look like new. For evening the choice may lie be- ' tween beige satin or beige crepe de j chine. The coloured buckles, so much i in evidence just now, enhance the ap- , ' pearance of these shoes, and can be changed to match with the evening frock. l ' With these five pairs of shoes no woj man need fear that her feet will dis- , grace her.
