f. FroI MI The tennis shoe has come a great
o-iotv If STYLES. One wholesale house OF
- cifv now carries in stock l5O different
s+yla. SHAPES. colors and combinations OF
a. tbe name would imply the shoe is for
wear at the popular game OF tennis. FOR
s,cb wesr the snoe is made with rubber sole
cor1,,getad TO insure a firm footing. Inc
va-nns are of oJze calf or light calfskin, and
the t innings Of the same, but usually OF
iighfer shade and pinked and perforated in
many fancy designs. OF colors, so great Is
the variety, it is hard to decide what are
the most popular, though the various
shades OF tan, russell ana coffee seem 10
lead, with orange as bright and popular
rival
made for the street wear, and many unique
Z Is rns are 10 be seen. A very pretty de-
-, .,fer cl1nHa and fanny
Trimming u cardinal ooze, grain side out
ward For street or office wear the tennis
has leather soles and low heels, and is withal
a pretty and popular shoe. The trim
mIngs are now put on so as to give more
support TO t1e foot and to prevenU the shoe
from spreading. So those that wish to be
"correct" in s.vie Will eSchew the tennis
shoe that has broad strip across the bali
of the foot. A toe tip that branches in
graceful curves along the side OF the foot
ii Getting finely curved strip from tho lace
pieces Is now the proper thing"
An all-around sporting shoe IS one of calf
Or kangaroo cut in one piece and laclng
down to the tip. A small gusset-shaped
piece of the leather is stitched at the sides
which strengthens the shoe and tends to
support tie foot. These shoes are used for
bail playing, running, yachting, bicycling
or country walks.
A very pretty yachting shoe is of white
goat ~ trimmings of polished calf. The
-aANaS shoe of last season is almot a thing
Il the past, as very few are now worn,
} re calf, graf or morocco having taken
ae place of the canvas, out the reason why
5 past finding out. Surely it was not on
account OF belag cooler, for a canvas shoe
is the coolest worn, though when wet is
still and uncomfortable.
For the sea shore, country or other out
ing Trips the wlgwam Is quite a favorlte
FOR walking on the sea shore or the dusty
roads OF the country it has no equal. They
are made out OF stout leather; the sides and
bottom are OF one piece, beng nodded to
give shape. The tip of the wigwam is of
one nat piece OF stiff leather; a low broad
heel does service AID tends to give the wig
wan little of the shape of a shoe. From
Tue peculiar construction there are no
seams to hurt the feet and the leather is
Sill enough to protect the feet from stones
Or other distractions. The wigwan is nov
N demand for yachting, sd bias fair to
become favorlte with yachtsmen as well as
lovers OF land sports.
