To those persons who may visit w ashington and

in quality workmanship would call their atten-
ton to the card of Henry Janney, to be found under
the head of F." Washington" A handsome and neat
ly made boot is not at all times of pleasure
to the wearer but often Of extreme torture; this
is caused by the bungling manner in which the boot
is fitted to the foot. Mr.. Janney has devoted much
of his time in studying the construction Of the human
foot, in order to ascertain how boot should be cut
and fitted that will be perfectly easy to all parts of
the foot In this he has succeeded that it matters
not what may be the shape Of the number of corns
the foot his boot is perfectly easy. Thus he has
combined beauty with comfort.
