Q ii , If Hi I,W . THE DAILY NEBRASKAN 1J ' Styles in Bhocs, is n phraso that will h&TO moro Blgnlflclcnco when used In referring to tho Spring showing, than Is usually Implied by the expression. Tho elements of real stylo havo been entering more and moro Into the con etructlon of Bhocs for some seasons nnd now that there Is a tendency on the part of tho wenrer to take kindly to novelties In shoes, makers have given moro attention to the production of novelties. The result is apparent in tho Spring showing. First of all, it may bo said that cloth tops are expected to be a very im portant factor in the Spring demand. Cloth tops were introduced, or rather rc-lntroduced for Fall and the discrim inating dresser took to them at once. Their introduction was in tho naturo of nn experiment, and was limited to a very small number of combinations. Tho forthcoming season will bring out many more, among them,- gray uppers over either Black or Tan, gray over lanjthite aver gray or black these and variations from theso fundamental colors. Whlto over patent and gray over patent will it is thought, bo the popular combinations for such semi dress affairs which usually occur at the country club or for lawn functions. All of thtfeo combinations will appear in Oxfords for Spring. The Custom or English last is easily the favorite. Flat or 78 heels lead. and n general tendency favoring the long vamp is apparent. It is said that wo are getting away from tho short vampB. The long forequarter styles arc expected to lead by a wide margin This Is a move in the direction of greater comfort. Tho business man it is thought will call for blacks or dark tans. In fact there is n strong disposition to favor the darker shades of tan In both the regular and the Oxford Bhocs. While there may be some pumps worn on the street this is not expected to be -an au thorltative vogue. The oxfords of gen eral use will be the regular neigh ts. Jiulton. Bhocs. lead strongly although provisions havo been made for tho man who favors tho laco or the blucher, the latter being favored by many who take to comfort, or who may 'have troublo in getting shoes that will give the least degreo of discomfort to tender feet. Another feature which is Incorporated in the Spring styles Is the rubber solo and another, the Elkskln sole. These havo hitherto been used mainly in shoes for outing purposes, nnd for that matter will continue to be a feature of tho construction of outing shoes, but they will become more and more a fea ture of shoes for general purpose and street wear. Rubber or Elkskln soles have never been surpassed for walking comfort, nnd It Is this that makes them fa vorites. They may be had with either tnn or black uppers, and either In flat heel or with a separate heel. It is thought that the separate heel will bo in the lead owing to the natural desire to require n heel support. They come moBtly in the straight bal. It Iq conimejiicjLin-the-fltQros that there has been n distinct tendency to ward the higher priced shoes. White cloth shoes and whltp buck will it is thought also bo favorites mainly for semi-outing wear. Buttons will also offer another novel feature, in that they will be of various shades harmonizing with tho leather of tho lower part of the shoe or with the cloth of the upper. For the man with the highly developed Idea of color har mony the color schemes that may be worked out in a man's attire by the use of footwear effects harmonizing with the hose, the suit, hat or some other, Indeed all other articles of ap parel offer wonderful possibilities. The same conditions may hold some degree of terror for the man who is little versed or used to combining colors.
