For weddings, receptions and all
full dress occasions. Patent Leather
Shoes are as essential to full dress
as IL claw hammer coat. No gcn-
tleman's dress suit Is complete with
out them. They are equally popu-
lar In both Lace or Congress.
The vamps Of this shoe are whole,
cut from the very hest Calf Patent
Leather, but even this we cannot
warrant from cracking. 1t would
be useless for us to say 1t will not
crack. Being the best, 1t is much
less liable to crack than inferior
kinds, and with careful handling,
especially I'm cold weather, will be
found very satisfactory. Never try
on or handle Patent Leather Shoes
when cold. Always thoroughly
warm before bending the leather.
The soles are medium light and eX-
ira flexible.
After Patent Leather begins to
look dull very light application of
sweet oil softens and freshens 1t
wonderfully.

A Zine figure of woman" as Joe Gar
gerry observes III Great Expectations, "
passes by, sweeping under garniture Of silk
and genuine seal fur with IA broad spread of
canvas us the yachts Puritan or Volunteer.
Her ago ranges probably between 40 and IS,
her figure is particularly emborpoint, but her
face is rosy with health, and her features
still preserve the stamp of beauty. Her eyes
arc big and gray, scintillating under the
flashes of dark eyelashes and brows, and
were her attire less pronounced she would be
styled elegant. This lady enters the recep-
ton room, and sends her card to several
members, who at once respond, and soon she
is surrounded by Coterie of conscript
fathers, wing with each other in playing
the gallant. She iests and jokes with them
all, inviting them to call at her residence,
and having played her cards adroitly leaves
the Capitol in a well appointed coupe with
driver in livery. Sometimes she Is accom-
panied by her daughter, q pretty girl of Is,
and splendid type of the blonde.
This lady is a professional lobbyist, and
plies her vocation with marked success. Whis-
pers in the air are heard occasionally in
criticism Of hor private character from those
of her own rex, but neither man nor woman
has ever brought forward an accusation di-
rect and positive, 50 far as is generally
known. She has had her fingers however,
in many congressional pie, whereof she re-
ceived a slice of greater or lesser proportions,
and no one is more thoroughly posted in the
avenues and channels of legislation, She OBJ
tains copy Of every bin introduced and Of
the reports thereon, and If the game be worth
the candle, hunts up its history and parent
age. Then when the case is thoroughly di-
gested she offers to make or mar, as the case
may be, wherever the best financial oppor-
tunity is presented, and her efforts are
usually attended with Success. She is shrewd,
and gathers honey from every honey bearing
flower h usas City Times.

II we had known In that brief dream OF eiadness,
When love and hope were young and LIFE was
sweet,
That We should live our lives In lonely sadness
And end them In the anguish of defeat,

morning,
How soon those flowers would be forever dead
How soon the sun. whose splendor crowned each
dawning
Would rise on blighted hopes and visions lied
II we had known. when our 'GooJby' was
spoken,
That VIC should never meet on earth again,
Ivonlar vaguely would our hearts, haH broken
Have shrunk ia terror from such bitter pain'
II we had known .--ah, well, we did not know It.
And so our love died out forever more
Unless perchance. some distant dawn may show IL
Still fair and changcess on some happier shore;
Where Oilc harp that mournS IN silent sorrow

And yet may wake TO life and song 10 morrow,

But slept too soon because IL was too sweet
To ripen In the sunshine Of that heaven
Where Joy Is infinite and bliss complete.
