What Paris Decrees The Paris authorities give milinery j a wide variety of styles for each de signer seems to have a pet type. Lewis and Reboux both feature the small high crowned hat, and the French Room at Astrlch's shows some charm ing models exploiting both designer's methods of treatment. The smart wing effects and stiff bows of the Lewis type are as chic, as the soft fluffy tulle, and full showy trimmings of Reboux are charming, and prices on all models, even French Room creations at the Astrich store are ex-1 ceedingly low. Becoming Footwear It is the design, the cut, and the last, of a shoe that either improves the appearance of the foot or detracts from it, and It is because particular attention is paid to these things that Walk-Over Shoes always look so well on the foot. The Walk-Over Boot Shop, 220 Market street is showing some charming styles in pumps, each of unique design and one of the smartest models is in patent leather with just a hint of the Colonial in the slight extension of the vamp up the Instep which gives the pump a very beautiful line on the foot.
