w. & l.. So 'sPeerless"
Shoe for Women.

Such a store as this. with such
reputation must of necessity be al
ways sure, for back of every sale
stands our guarantee of satisfaction.
When we first thought of putting
on sale the very best shoe for wo-
men possible to buy for S., we said
that it must be best-that it must
be made of the highest grade leath-
ers-that the workmanship must be
of highest character, thorough, and
honest-that it must be stylish.
Such is the
| w. s l.. So "PeerHess''
Shoe for Women,
the highest exempli6cation of the
shoemaker's ARIA shoe that we can
sell with the fullest confidence that
you'll be satisfied, that you'll come
back for another pair when you need
them. Such are the shoes on which
we have stamped Our name.
The feathers used are beyond
question the very highest grade.
The kidskin is the best glazed
chrome tanned vici. The calfskin is
also the best. The countersand inner
and outer soles are of the best white
oak-tanned leather. The Innings are
staunch, the tops being faced with
satin. A sheet of cork between the
outer and inner soles makes them
almost impervious to dampness and
serves as a soft cushion for the foot.
The styles of this shoe are correct
and handsome, and embrace shoes
of different weights, for indoors and
out, for dress and street wear, but
all are made on lasts which follow
the lines of the foot, which are
anatomically correct, and which are
easy and comfortable The careful
workmanship, the perfectness of de-
tail in the construction, insure the
greatest serviceability.
peerless" shoes have extremely
narrow heel seat, high arch and very
flexible sole.

to see Mrs. Jones sitting up for him
below stairs, with no other light than
that of the gas lamp, which faced the
door, to keep her company.

AS Mrs. Jones did not answer him, he
continued in an alarmed voice:
Shorty, m'dear, but it's last time
tell you I'm sorry-won't shpeak to

At this moment Mrs. Jones called
from above stairs:
'Mr. Jones, who are you talking to
at this hour Of the night"
'Thash what I'd like to know
