prHHE flash of: sandals along the
promenades of western and cen-
tral Europe constitutes one of
the most engaging contribu-
tions to the, gayety of nations that the
pioneers of fashion have made during
the current year. Already they have ‘
been seen in a stimulating variety—
cloth, leather, metal, ribboned and the boulevards is modified' and smart

foot by a thong of leather

the instep and fastened round
the ankle. The same
type of sandal is
worn at present by

celebrated Parisian women and Ameri-
can emigres have appeared with flaming
painted toe-nails and dimpled insteps.
