Decorative Footwear

For some seasons have regarded shoe designs as prac- tically static, except for the intro- duction of the sandals which con- servative ladies felt were a bit ec- centric, and not to be taken ser- iously. There were four classic models from which she chose—the pump, the strap, the oxford, and the brogue.

There are three definite trends that have been pointed out by the stylists for spring. These are, the square toes and heels, not really grotesque though they may sound so, the wide strap and buckle, a very decorative feature, and the introduction of the use of gabar- dine ns a fabric. The square toe and heel have been introduced into every type of shoe and are really a very smart combination, giving us n. lvel‘. balanced picture. whether used in a slice designed for comfort and motion, or in a dainiier type with higher heels, emphasizing the picturrsqize in fabric or decoration. The wide strap and buckle is used in walking shoes for both iown and country, in kid of all sorts and col- our, and in the all-purpose shoe, lighter in construction. and inval- uable fcr street. as well as for dress wear. These sho:s will be popufar wilh the women who are tired o.’ oxfords. and yet need a little sup- port in their shoes.

‘Colour is important this spring.

past women Although most women will insist

on at least one pair of black shoes, she will certainly not be able to neglect the colored footwear en- tirely. Blues and greys are abso- lutely correct with everything but a brown costume, and the new British tans and rusts are stun- ning with grey. Soft browns of every shade from beige to darkest seal may be worn with the brown suit, while a sheer brown dres will be exquisite with green, and cer- tain red shades. Remem” , color must be accented, and your shoes are as much a part of the picture as is your dress or suit.

Formal afternoon and evening shoes are showing a great diversity of types. ad some inspired design and workmanship.

Shoe Vogue

Another shoe which is said to be meeting with a great deal of ap- proval, is a sunshine fashion shoe, with square toe and heel, a one- eyelet tie, in chamols suede with pig trim or white suede with calf trim. The front and back parts are separated by a wide open stretch, held together with the band trim that extends from front to back. This makes the shoe a conservative "closed" type, yet places it in the

air conditioned. ventilated class.

Formality surrounds use oi the Royal plate at Buckingham Palace, which is brought into use only when great celebration; are in order.

The Coronation of King Edward. to be solemnimd at the end of the period of mourning, will be an oc- casion for the Royal plate to be brought from the Jewel House of the Tower of London. This table plate does not date back beyond Queen Elizabeths time owing to the deprsdations during the Com- monwealth. Most of the pate was melted down to meet the necessit- ies of the Government in power at the time, though Queen Eliza- beth's gold salt-cellar escaped the melting pot.

Sergeants-at-Arms uphold the kingly dignity as they bear the great gold maces when the King is crowned. Of gold maces there are eight in number, the oldest of which. two. were made for Charles II., with two dated from the reign of James II. three were supplied for William and Mary and one for George I. All bear similar patterns. The mace was originally intended as a weapon of defence used by cavalry ofllcers. It was Originally a “ ‘ designed to beat in hei- metc of steel. The ceremonial mace

With regard to Elizabeth's salt--

cellar, it stands about a. foot in height. At the _o is a shallow pan which was t .;inally intended for the salt, a very precious lux- ury in those days. and one to be guarded wit-h zealous care. Over the salt, is a gold canopy supported by brackets. There was a reason for this canopy. and one which jars our modern conception of cleanliness, in that these coverings served to protect the salt from pieces of dust and dirt which descended from the rough rafters overhead. Perched on top of the canopy stands a knight in armor holding a long - two-handled sword and shie‘d. He is symbolic o." guarding the salt from theft and danger. Then there is the State salt- cellar, standing two feet high and elaborately and beautifully wrought. It PBDPGSGIIw a square castle prepar- ed for defence as in medieval times.

shaped like a Royal Crown and under this are exquisitely wrought field guns on wheels of finest work- manship. Precious stones adorn tho castle throughout, one particularly beautiful stone, a large sapphire, being placed above the poitcullis at the front entrance.

The four turrets and the crown axe more than ornamental because the tcpg lift off disclosing shallow pans or saucers each designed to hold a small quantity of precious salt. More salt may be placed in small troughs under the windows. In all likelihood nobody but the king and his queen and three or four distinguished guests seated near by were intended to make use of this gorgeous salt cellar. Its place is in the centre o5 the great banqueting table exactly opposite the King.

Then there is the wine fountain, a very fine example of the gold- smitlfs art. Imagine this article standing two and a half feet high and adorned by a central figure of an almost nude woman holding a. snake by the neck, Below the graceful form are two tiers of shal- low receptacies shell-shaped and ornamented with mermaids, dol- phins and sea. nymphs. The lower and larger tier measures twenty- eight inches in diameter. This fountain when in use could be made to operate like a fountain in the garden. The method by which they managed to keep the wine flowing in the fountain was to place a barrel of wine in the gal- lery; from this a pipe was con- nected and joined to the hollow at the base of the fountain. To turn on the tap forced the wine up through the inside cf the figim and out of the serpents nxvuth. The height of the spray depended up- on the position of the barrel above the table. Precious liquor sprcyod over the nude figure into the tier of some smaller receptacles which overflowed into the larger recap- taclcc below and in order to pro- vont c. veritable flood of winc do- luging the notable gathering the guest; must continuously dip their bonkers into tho nplflllng fluid to atom the tide.
