THE OPTIMIST
Friday February 16 1940

This fashionable world is
questionably curved toes of
wide-eyed naivete of the stylishly small chapcaux discussed
last week
The most popular shoe fabric is reflected in fchinyblack
patent leather which generously shares honors with its
chum gabardine often with an infusion of flattering Las-
te. Twill is another variation.
Veal should be available at all markets now what with
so many varieties of calf on display in the footwear estab-
lishments: llama calf baby calf reversed calf and even
lizard-calf; but the most unusual shoo material to appear
is frog-skin embellished with the impressive appellation
of ' Rana-cuera." These shoes featured with matching bags
in VOGUE are described as iwsscssing a beautifully bubbly
moontonc-like surface in a suave neutral shade. What
next?
Practical persons who prefer less heel and more comfort
will rejoice at the number of non-spike models offered this
season. The new pyramid and keg heels the Dutch peasant
and Continental heels arc all available with snub toes shoit
vamps and bewitching bows about.
Types of shoes? The perennial saddle oxford and
ghillie are still with us along with the moccasin opera
pump and sandal. Skuffles of various styles are in order
and the "wedge'' idea continues called "Props" !by I.
Wilier.
This well-known shoe house joins the new age of in-
nocence with such titles as "Baby Doll Pump" "Pinafore
Pump" and "Little Toe Peep." Then there is the spat shoe
and the patent leather ballet slipper.
Colors in demand are Tulip Black. Gardenia White and
Bluejacket; but ah the variety of shade with luscious names
offered by the cosmeticians this season! Thone must come
next week along with a return to the fashions found on
our own ACC campus Au revoir.
