TO-DAY navigation upon the
great lakes will be closed for the
season Of 1892.
The last month has been .
period of unprecedented disaster
to lake shipping, and the losses
by storms have aggregated nearly
half q million Of dollars. This
figure was only approached in
1880 when the losses footed up
$4oo, 900. AS the vessels were
insured at a low rate the CON-

FASHIONABLE LACED BOOTS.

Some very pretty laced boots, with
extra high Spanish instep, are made
ready for winter use. These are grace
full In outline, with . moderately high
heel and with room enough In the shoe
for the wearer to walk. Very many
people are ignorant of what constitutes
. really beautiful foot. So that it is
small, they suppose there 10 nothing
more to be desired. The new laced
shoes have . slightly projected sole.
which is . feature of many of the best
models. The wide sole eventually gives
the foot narrower appearance than
that which, wanting in width, allows
the sides of the foot to crowd over,
whom the whole shoe soon loses its Or
iginal outlines, and the feet look dis
t0rted in consequences. It 10 always
better TO choose . shoe little longer
than the foot, ~ this imparts look Of
slenderness and grace which short,
stubby shoe never does.
