You viii be surprised when Itell you

shoes tn.;;n their New York sisters, but
their ieet are shorter. To sum up, I
think l can confidently assert that the
largest shoes are worn by eastern women.

shoes lis . sample of the ladies' wauk-
enphast shoe, which is now very popular
in that city of blue blood and beans
Boston.
You will notice that they are nearly
as heavy, have as wide heels, and loois
fully as useful as mems shoes. We sell
them nowhere else but in the east.

couldn't see pair in any other city to
save your neck. Funny, isn't it"
Are women wearing heavier or
lighter shoes than formerly?
You would naturally suppose from
my previous statement that they are
wearing more sensible shoes, that l
would Sc: heavier regret tc say that
cannot. Fair woman has come to the
conclusion that distorted feet resulting
from too short and too tight shoes de-
tract from lcr appearance, and is there
fore wearing better shaped feet cover
ings. You cannot persuade her to wear
anything clumsy locking. y thick soled
more deaths resulting every year from
her determination to wear paper soled
shoes than from any other cause. At
least, that is my opinion. Why, just
look at it q moment. The thichest shoe
we make has but a three-eighths Of an
inch sole-atout the thickness man
would wear on a summer shoe-and yet
women will put on their thick boots as
they call them, and tramp through slush
and mud :; i day long in them. 1t makes
no difference if their feet are soaked
when they get home; they have worn
their thick Eoots,' and that settles it.
That's what l like about the eastern
women. They will wear comfortable
and suitable shoes every time, appear

vogue IS it was:'
For street wear, no. For the house
and carriage the most popular button
shoe is tie New York opera toe, with the
high French heel. This shoe naturally
is not adapted for much walking, and
the women have discovered this. For
low shoes the New York medium toe and
the opera with high and moderately high
French heels sell the best. For a good
walking shoe So to IS should be paid; for
fancy call slippers of course fancy prices
are given.

that any particular style Of shoe is being
worn now. We make and sell all styles.
It can Ec said, though, that men arc get
ting better shoes for their money today
than ever before. Not only better in
quality but IN iit. The time has gone By
when u man expected to buy an un-
comfortable, ready made shoe and tor
turc himself by wearing it until 1t was
con- 0aratively comfortable. lmprovcd!
methods of taking measurements and
improved machinery have accomplished
this. and man can today go into a
