The well-dressed man of today wants his slippers as smartly and cor rectly styled as his sports, bus iness or dress shoes. Simplicity's the word. Leath ers that are the 'last word in luxury on the foot. Colors that follow the style trends in mere formal shoe fashions. The Italian influence is as strong here as it is in other di visions of the shoe wardrobe. In other words the slipper is slim, trim and elegant. Not just a com fort shoe, but a style shoe to slip on for moments of relaxa tion. The higher cut on the instep is a marked trend, with the same eloneated slender look that marks the regulation slip-on This even extends itself to boot lines in glove leather, in slipper shoes so flexible they can be folded up and slipped in your pocket. Foam leather insoles add the final touch of cushion ease to shoes of this type. The classic leather slipper, un adorned, adds a fashion note in higher vamp, lower sides and a whole range of new bright pastel as well as dark colors. Pipings of vivid color on black are a new note to emphasize long slim lines without a decor ated look. The mule type of slipper is still in demand, but this too has gone high-hat in styling with a continental air and new soft tan nages in glove and saddle leath ers. The latter is particulaily popular in slippers of moccasin type. Sparkman Sure Adlai Will Be Candidate New York U.R) Adlai E.
