IONDAY MARCH 21, 1927 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL SAf .EM. OREGON .PAGE NINE mm C-and away wego- THE FASHION PARADE OF HSKH MENS FOOTWEAEC This article is being written rlKht after the cloao of the Nutlon sl Shoo Ililuilera" convention In ChlciKo. And out of the trcinen iIoijh number of styles that bom bard I'd one's vision, there were three innovations fired nt conatant ly, tmtli In the exhibits and on the runway. This is the Uig Throe In men's shoes for Spring nar rower toes, higher heels and brigh ter colors. The reason for the narrowed toe follows somewhat the trend In men's trouser bottoms. The bal loons, that reaehed their peak In the Oxford baps, have attained the heights of popularity and are de scending, "r rather decreasing in width. And harmony, the first ax iom In smart dress, decrees that toes conform to these movements. Narrower Toes llio Vogue Agiin, thp custom built shoe has always hefn distinguished by its narrowed toe. And with this type of shoe being a style criterion, It Is easy to nccount for this latest trend. But hy no means, has the bal loon toe become an outcast!. It will still be seen, but much of Its, dogglness will be replaced by elm pier, smarter 1 es. And now for the heels! This Is what you may call an upstanding movement In the trade. For heels on men's shoes will climb to new I heJriits. Yea! Even as high as one and a half inches. Do not be alarm ed. though, that all your bIiomi hen-after will be of such stilt-like heights, The ordinary heel will prevail hut if you wnnt to be ahead, or rather higher. In the Hlyle Bcale, your heels whould as sume nn aviator's complex and rise. Pume manufacturers have created an nppearanee of added height hy building a somewhat nar rower heel. Lighter Shades Favored Here's the outspoken member of the UIK Three Color! Light shades of tan, rich ox-blood reds and a lot of crosses increase the color scale in men's shoes. And the zoologically Inclined man will ar gue this is natural. For in the an imal kingdom, the male Is the brightest of the sex. but even with this tremendous Import of new shades, black shoes are gaining more pronounced pop ularity. After six o'clock of course, you will want to wear nothing but black shoes. And during; business hours, the more conservative man will adhere to the same color. And so you have here, the most important movement in men's shoes for dress and business wear.; In the sporting division, bright. ness of color and contrasting trims! become more pronounced. Combi-1 nations of tan and white and of1 black and white have paced over many a golf course In the past sea sons. This summer will see many more of them. Solos will be of rub. her, crepe or leather and some will have spikes attached to them, I'l'tijK'r Wrights for Seasons Another movement that hi get ting wide spread publicity, and which is to be commended, is that of wearing shoes to conform to the season. Summer weights for the warmer season and heavier or win ter-weights fur the cold weather. For formal dress wear, the light weight plain toe oxford with med ium and brogue lasts of patent leather will be the thing. Heels are of leather and are closely trimmed. As usual at such shows, many novelties were displayed. Brass eyelets, punchlngs, stitchings and embossings were exhibited by many manufacturers. And the fancy braid shoelace was aeen quite frequently. From this maze of style Infor mation some confusion may be caused In your mind, but take this little hint. Rely on your shoe mer chant. Nearly every one was pres ent at the last big convention and with the accurate style program presented them they have a def inite Idea of what you will need to keep stepping along in the style parade. The Hit of the robing the glint of spring sunshine is reflected In tho fascinating new footwear for tbo Spring of 1927. Tbp mod's for new costumes are hrilli.mt wih color and shoes car ry nut their duty religiously as fit ttnir complements to the mode of color. Never have we seen such a lovply array of flattering colors In footwear as the shops nre showing th's Spring. Front Nature's own palette come dainty youthful shades with such charming and alluring names as p.istHle parchment, stone, rose blush, shell gray, stroller tan and himpHiend brown. These and many more you'll find nil subtle, beau tiful cxrptisile. Dm til y in Footwear It really wasn't so very long ago, as yoi? probably remember, when untie were built to be practical "to stand the gaff." Today we find them practical, of course, but al ways they must he and nre beau tifuland youthful. And thanks to the designers who arp constantly nnd forever seeking new effects, new materials, new de signs beautiful shoes are now within the reach of every woman In America. Truly we have never seen such lovely footwear priced so Interestingly, too, when they are so beautiful as the stores are now showing. Materials and Combinations It Is quite apparent that the most popular materials am patent leather nnd kid. Keptlb- skin Is shown plentifully in sports shoes and. of course, satin Is always good for dressier occasions. The patent and kfds are trimmed with novelty leathers and reptilian effects find nre stunning and flattering to any foot. One combination that particu larly caught our eye and seemed a very smart bit of originality en he pnrt of the designer was of, pastel pnrchment with cherry pa-' tent kid trim, high of heel nnd with a sinRlo strap. Shell f;niy KI1 Vscd Another was shell grey kid with the new gingham kid, another cun-metal patent trimmed with black patent with a high spike heel, one strap and cut down at the sides. We saw many more, too all equally interesting from a standpoint of unusual leather and color combinations and many more we expect to see for this is the day of orlginiality of design, glorious materials and clever craftsman ship! She walks in beauty and steps In Fashion in this Spring's various styles offered for her a pnroval strap effects, open tie effects, ox- ford effects and a few gore and step-In effects. A wide range to be sure. One-St rap Still Good It a ppears that t he tie has ar rived as a dominant Spring factor, but It Is doubtful If the popular one-strap will ever have to give up Its place for this newer mode Plain, strip pumps will always hold a place in the heart of the woman whose foot is larger than she would wish it as there is grace and beauty and a tendency make the foot appear smaller In plain pump. Style Creato Labors Full 8 Hours Each Day Paris, France. (P) One of the quietest, most unobtrusive style creators in Pails is Madame Jeanne Lanvin.

(By Hazel Iieavls) Pa r Is. Mar. 2 1 . Lenten quite falls to deter the planning of fashionable wardrobes lor late spring and summer. Paris Is even now creating evening and dinner dresses with effective new notea. Some of the gowns of simplest lines conceal the most elaborate workmanship. One of these gowns at the house of AVelly Soeurs has crystal beads and embroidery worked Into geo metrical design. On the skirt are straight, flat strips of head-work, held together with short festoons of heads. A velvet bow of two- tone ribbon In front gives a youth ful air. The Increased sleekness of hips has resulted in a revival of sashes and girdles for spring nnd sum mer. Yvonne Davidson shows a girdle of Grecian inspiration on her summer model of a dinner dress called "Midnight," a two piece frock of two-tone blue crepe satin. A straight girdle wrapped in front in a tight twist holds the blouse close. A modernistic pattern of midnight blue crepe is Inset front and back. It has the square neck featured In many of the new est Paris dresses. In planning evening ureases, the young girl is remembered. Every drosumaker shows at least one evening model of crisp, colorful taffeta. An evening dress by Martial and Armand, suitable for a coming out party or a first formal dance, has (he big pouffe of satin at the side. The bouffant skirt has points In front weighted down with crystal embroidery. Taffetas also are used In the spring development of hats and purses. The chle Parisian now changes her bag to match her drens and when this Is taffeta the purse must be of the same ma terial. The Paris milliners are making a valiant effort to supplant felt for the a mmer mode and to popularize taffeta as well as sup ple straws. Marthe Regnler displays a close fitting hat of pleated black taffeta with a very small brim. A tiny fringe at the right side trims it. Historic Boston has 11 holidays and official celebrations each year. Pets Of The Rich Wear Paw-Plates Paris, Mar. 11. (flV-Paw-plates for dogs of the idle rich are dis turbing traffle on Paris boutevarde. A nice little silver chain holds a nice little half-Inch silver plate on the left front leg of the dog. The plate carries the name and address of the wearer. It looks, at first glance, much like a wrist watch, which may be the next step. Mllurmq This is one of the season's newest styles.
