To all whom it may cou/cern- Be it known that Famine Gnavson, a citizen of the lUnited States, and resident of the city of ,New York, in the county of New York and State `of New certain new and useful Spats for Womens Wear, lowing is a specification.

lilly invention relates to a slip-over gaiter or improved type of spat, especially adapted to summer wear, which can be worn with comfort during hot weatherpas it can be made of thinner material than has been usu ally employed in spats as heretofore made.

y using a material of cloth or leather combined with elastic or rubber, it can be-slipped over the foot, fitting perfectly. M construction dispenses with buttons an laces, can be quickly slipped on or od" the foot, thus saving time, is attractive and economical as one pair of pumps or low shoes can be used with several pairs of slip-overs to match the costumes, giving the appearance of high class shoes fora very small cost.

A further feature of my invention consists in constructingn the article so it mayl be turned inside out or reversed and worn, and one side may be one color and theother side a different color or shade if desired.

Referring'to the drawings which form a part of this specification,

Fig. l is a perspective view of one'form or design of my improved slip-over as it would pump or slipper;

` Fig. 2 is a side view of the slip-over;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line -zr of Fig.` 2;

Fig. d-

llmprovementsin .ofv which the fol'- is a display view showing the conas it would appear if the rubber elastic bands on the front of the slip-over were 'cut through on a vertical line and the two half portions opened to show the appearance and construction of the article;

Fig. 5 is a view, partly in section disclosing the Hap construction when leather side pieces are employed to strengthen the article. Referring to the drawings, A indicates a low cut shoe cates an over-gaiter or spat designed for womens wear embodying myfinvention and comprises twmside portions C and C' respectivel held together at the back by a side rean velastic at its ends by a number of elastic-bands F-E-F spectively, and at the bottom vb strap F, which is preferably held York, has invented A moved without having .is displayed and clalms.

claim as new and fitted to a form'B,`and C indirespectively between two Hap portions GGr of leather or other suitable material which is cut in the shape illustrated and sewn to the side portions C and C as illustrated in 3. lt'will be seen that the side portions C and C respectively are made of two pieces d and il of cloth or other suitable material, each piece of which maybe alike or of dilferent color or material. For illustration one side could be of cloth and the opposite side of leather, or canvas etc., and since the elastic material is held between the side pieces, the whole spat may be turned inside out or re versed to show a different display surface and a different material, thus in veect providing two articles in one combination. The leather side lcould be exposed in rainy weather and the cloth in dry weather, or one side be of satin. for display in the home and a dierent material exposed by reversing it to display for street wear, etc. The top band H may be provided witha display buckle ll, or other ornamental device if desired and rosettes KMK, may also be attached to ornament the spat if desired. 'lhe edges of the cloth sides may be bound with leather or braid as indicated at LL to strengthen the construction or ornament the same. llt is .obvious that the spat can be but one thickness of material for the sidesif desired and still embody my invention. to the extent of providing a spat that is elastic and can be put on and rerecourse to buttons or buckles. The

may form a contrast to the color if desired.

ll Ado not wish to limit my invention to any particular design as ll may have the front portion ventirely closed by the elastic material Fl, and may changes within the Having thus described my invention, ll desire to secure by Letters Fatentz- LA spat comprising twol side portions formed of non-elastic exible material rigidly connected at the back lby elastic material .extending the full length thereof, a plurality of separated elastic elements connectingy the side portions aty the frontthereof, an adjustable band secured to-both of said side por tions at theupper edges thereof, and astrap connecting saids'ide portions; at the lower edges thereof.

stocking ll/l, of the/'wearer if desired make other 'I scope of the appended roo 2. A reversible spat comprising two side portions each formed of Atwo different nonelastic7 ieXible materials, elastic means connecting said side portions at the rear edges thereof, a plurality of separated elastic elements connecting said side portions at the front edges thereof, an adjustable band secured to and connecting the side portions at the upper edges thereof, and means connecting said side portions at the lower edges 10 thereof.
