WOm1en's
Correct Shoes.

In order that shoe may wear
well it must not only be made of
good material, but it must fit well.
A shoe that fits badly at the toe will
be very apt to wear out quickly at
the toe, and so with the other parts !;
but when you get shoe that fits
perfectly everywhere, shoe that is
sewed perfectly everywhere, shoe
that is made of perfect leather every
where-then you have a shoe that
will give perfect satisfaction and
wear.
We took unusual pains in planning
our shoes for this season, and are
gratihed to say that our stock is
larger, better and more economically
priced than in any season heretofore.
The following items are worthy of
special attention:

CHIEF CLERK 1RELAN's SURPRISE
Showed His Appreciation of the Eff
cheney Of His Force.


The clerks in the office of the chief clerk
Of the patent Office were treated to little
surprise this afternoon by Mr.. Irelan, the
chief clerk. Mr.. Irelan believes he has the
most efficient force of clerks in his Office
that is to be found in the Interior Depart
ment, and he thought this afternoon that
the best way to show his appreciation Of
their work during the past year was to
give them a slight reminder Of Christmas
To carry out this idea he closed his private
office to every one but his messenger yes
terday morning and decorated the mantel-
piece with stockings or paper limitations
thereof. Above each stocking was a bas-
ket and in the basket Mr.. Irelan placed a
little reminder of Christmas in the shape of
a bouquet Of appropriate design. Oranges
and gifts Of various kinds that bore some
token peculiar to the clerk to whom they
were given, were also placed in the basket
Mr.. Irelan participated in the surprise that
came when he invited his Office force to
the private office, for while he was out
two of the young women in his room had
bribed the messenger to allow them to en-
ter and had hung up stocking for their
chief, which contained, among other things,
a candy cane, a doll and the usual supply
Of fruit, nuts and candy.
A fashlight picture was made Of the
stockings and the clerks grouped about
them and will be preserved as a memento
of the occasion by those most deeply inter-
ested Besides Mr.. Irelan. Misses Sim
mons. Simms. Terry. Lawson, Shuster,
Fellows, Perry and Bailey and Messrs
Pope, Nixon and Barker participated in
the merry-naking that followed the find
ing of the stockings.
