TOEING THE MARK FOR AUTUMN
If these four pairs of shoes are toeing the mark In your autumn wardrobe you needn't worry about any
steps that you may want to take. These slippers will carry you through the day and evening. The walk
ing shoe, at the upper left, is fashioned from Russian calf, and features a Scotch tongue mud a trim of
perforations. The straight heel is of built-up leather. The suede pump, shown next to it. which is de
signed for luncheon bridge or an afternoon musical, has a braided vamp and a heel that follows an Eng
lish pattern. The small tongue and flat bow of grosgrain ribbon complete the decoration. As the shad
ows deepen and the candles arc lighted for tea, late afternoon pumps take the lead in the shoe parade.
The black velvet opera pump, at the lower left, doubles its charm by using a cutout chain that is trimmed
with silver kid that extends across the instep. No on e could escape the haunting rhythm ot dance music
while wearing the crepe de chine sandals shown at the lower right. The slippers, which can be dyed to
match your gown, have high straight heels, small rh inestone buckles, and criss-cross bands of silver kid
across the vamp.

EXPERIENCE
• In the experience of the ma
jority no shaving instrument
compares with the “BLUE
BLADE.” Super- sharpened
edges; slotted, flexing center;
ingeniously tempered steel —
these and other advantages
make the “BLUE BLADE*
amazingly smooth shaving.
Try it and see for yourself.
