A. B. Greenwood Says They Give Per
 feet Satisfaction.
 A. B. Greenwood of No. S14 Chapel street, whose name Is associa ted with absolute integrity in shoe dealing, de- sires still further to call the attention of the New Haven public to the merits of the "Sorosis" shoes. MT. Greenwood has the exclusive sale of this celebrated shoe, and after years of experience can find no better make for women that will give such thorough satisfaction. A more comfortable, a more beautiful or as per feet shoe has never been worn or seen.
 The modelling and draughting of all Sorosis shoes, as well as certain pecu- liarities of construction, prevent that common trouble, the flattening of the arch of the foot. They support the in- step and make walking easy.
 Mir Greenwood guarantees to furnish these perfect fitting shoes, satisfactory in every respect, at price much less than any similar shoes were ever sold. The uppers are of the finest kid, all materials. of the best and the highest grade of hand work and most advanced oi machine processes are employed The welts are hand sewed and the finish and details of the shoe are of the great est nicety and perfection. In any case he will gladly refund the money if shoes are returned for any cause of dis satisfaction before being wdrn. But mo- body is ever disappoiateh with the "Sorosis" shoe.

If that had been all no great BARN

other foot was in. This increased
her excitement, and finding that
neither foot responded to her efforts
