A shoe is a rather plebian article Oh
which to base a good story, but few who
have kept track of current events can
have failed to come across the tale of
the SOrosis shoe. The narrative begins
with the approval of the president of the
SorOsis woman's club of New York,
given the manufacturers of new shoe,
who had given their product the clubs
name. The club didn't own the name,
anyway, considering that it is a
"dictionary word" meaning an aggre-
cation of perfect parts forming a COM
plete and perfect whole-a more ap-
propriate definition, by the way, of a good
shoe than of ladies club. But the
name has become famous through its
association with this club, and there
was a tremendous row which could be
heard across the continent. Mrs. Hall,
the offending president, was forced to
resign, and various methods were
resorted to to compel the shoe manu-
facturers to discard the name, which
efforts have proved unsuccessful and
have served only to advertise the shoe
We have Washington pies, Gladstone
handbags and even Victoria carriages,
but history does not say the owners of
the names objected. 1t is not surprising
to learn that wOman's clubs all over the
country are registering their condem-
nation of the persecution to which Mrs
Hall has been obliged to submit because,
of her expressed appreciation of a good.
