WOMEN'S FINEST SHOES

Trade names are freely con
jured with. When Nici Kid
grew famous through its good
ness the average shoe store
commenced selling "Nici Kid
Shoes. That they had never
bought any, of course, made
no difference.
1t is that sort of shoe selling
that has driven the biggest
slice of trade to the store that
doesn't do it.
Vici Kid is made by Robert
H. Foerderer. Thus far but
one other kidskin SO slightly
and serviceable has been put
on the market. We want the
best-hence we buy from Foer-
derer direct. Then the kid
skin is made into shoes
painstaking bench work, that
everybody knows is best. The
finest shoemaker that ever
took your order made your
shoes just this way.
Except the lasting.
The usual shoemaker has 4
line of lasts that are made UP
with bits of leather and what
not to meet the various foot
requirements. We have a last
for every shoe. That is why
the Wanamaker Shoes are
comfortable-every last is per,

twists to the shoes.

During the extremely severe wealth
er of February, 1895, myriads OF birds
perished from cold and starvation both
in Europe and the United States. In
England this destruction was the more
sorrowful perhaps, as the country where
the birds winter is more thickly settled
than with us, and there were more to
see their suf1erings. But occasionally
the British birds found friendly shelter.
The London Times published during
the cold weather this note from Rodolph
Walther, a boy of IL years, who lives at
Tunbridge Wells:
Il thought perhaps you would allow
a schoolboy to tell you how very tame
and fearless the cold and hunger have
made the wild birds around our house.
"Of course we feed them with bread
and all sorts of odds and ends, and the
ground is simply black with u hungry
visitors. Even the suspicious rocks come
quite close to the house for their share.
"A little blue tit passes its days in Our
basement, needless Of sleepy pussy bak-
ing herself before the stove.
Most of all l wish to tell you about
my strange bedroom companion, a little
robin which has taken up its residence
in my bedroom. and though l leave the
window open he never goes out excep,
to take a short fly. We pass the night to-
gether, and he makes his bed in II OF
my football boots.
THE other morning he woke me NJ
by singing on a chair at the side of my
bed. 1 suppose he thought I ought to be
