Fashion authorities are emph
asizing the importance of indl
rlduality In dress thereby giving
Madame free reign to adapt the
latest styles to her personal use
In an effective charming, charm
ing, and suitable manner.
Shoes are always given their
share of consideration by the
smart woman, but In general, too
little attention is paid to their
heels, and their apprlpriateness
for various occasions.
For morning wear, and town
shopping, the Cuban or baby
Spanish heel Is decidedly chic.
The latter is, in fact, the only
heel which should be worn, both
by the short, chubby woman, and
the tall, slender woman. The one
looks unbalanced, and her legs
doubly heavy,, if they are uphelp
by thin spike heels, and they on

ture with the distinction of more

know that the game with the

ferably rubber-soled, which gives

entire foot. relleTing the sole of
the pressure which results from
a higher heel.
The modified heel is seen In
hotels it afternoon tea dances
and for spectator sports. Those
who tend toward more formal
attire, however, cling to the high
Spanish heel, delicate of curve,
and best suited for those who are
light of foot, and of medium
height.
Ixw Hel Favored
Most women will find' that If
they suffer from foot strain, they
may readily relieve it by wear
ing a low heel through that part
of the day during which they are
ir.Cfit active, and changing to the
higher heels for the hours in
which solcial obligations demand
that they look their daintiest.
They will look fresher, too. If

Saturday afternoon is the time
for the most important of her so
cial functions, and the newest im
portations from Paris consist of
pastel kid pumps and slippers, to
match os harmonize with the
dainty frocks. Kid. satin and
crepe de chine are well suited to
small girls, and we find them
worn in flesh, baby blue, peach,
orchid, yellow (made ultra-smart
by young Princess Elisabeth of
England,) and the always appro
priate white and ivory.
Black is undeniably the most
practical color for children's wear
and black patent pumps, with
bows or ankle straps, are favored
with the simpler type of party
dress. But we may thank the new
dressmaker touches of pleated ruf
fles, shirrin.g tucks and lace
bandings on "dressy" frocks for
the consistent place they have
made for more delicate shoes.
For all occasions, the small girl
wears nude, or flesh colored hose

By E. P. HOWARD
A well-dressed business man remarked to me the other
day that in his opinion nothing gave a man a greater feeling
of confidence . than tn know that he was not only well
groomed but correctly outfitted. With this as an incentive
we did a little scout work to ascertain just what would be
needed for this feeling of confidence for spring.
From all corners we got theO
impression that the much talked
of ensemble Idea was paramount.
Not ensemble in the sense that
things should match. In fact al

The shoe- problem is not as im
portant to man as to woman, be
cause men's shoes are designed
primarily for comfort and wear.
It has only been In recent yean
that stylish appearance has tak
en the npper hand and made of
that part of his apaprel a factor
deserving of careful consideration.
The fad of colored shoes for
men, nas .been an uncertain,
shortlived thing, and has gotten
no farther than brighter shades
of brown and russet. Blue has
been worn Just a little, at the
winter resorts, but black, brown,
white and combinations of black
or( brown with white have held
the ascendancy.
For summer sports wear, eith
er active .or spectator, the low-
cut oxford is favored in the
above-mentioned ' combinations.
They are generally made with
colored wing-tip fronts and sides
with white or tan buck form

The accented square front has
lost the position it held, even
with the younger set of men,
and the general trend is toward
a modified last of simple cut,
which gives comfort and neat
ness of appearance by means of
subtle points in manufacture
which are to readily evident to
the purchaser.
The ensemble idea in men's
clothing is carried out by having
the shoes harmonize with the
suits, socks, kerchief and tie.
Brown Is worn with aU shades
of tan, from the light speckled
tweds which usher in the spring,
to the deep browns with reddish
casts. Black kid. highly polished,
is worn with the smart new
greys, oxford, and various shades
of blue.
It la interesting to note that a
more pointed toe is preferred for
formal evening wear, and the
medium is always patent leath
er. The new models being fea
tured are cut low, and the line
of the shoe is accented by a hor
izontal line, placed in some in
stances nearer the tip, and in
some, nearer the lacing, depend
ing on whether the individual
preference is for accented or ab
breviated length.
