The Oxford is the one fashionable
summer shoe. The Queen Quality fac
tory has brought out already a dozen

The vogue of the low shoe has given
new impetus to the fad for fancy ho-

gauze-lisle, stockings rank first as a
distinct novelty.
To wear corset coat is to pro-
claim ones figure perfect. The lines
of this new spring jacket are so arbi-
trary that any considerable change in
the altering room means the spelling
of its artistic symmetry.
If the craze for butchers linen shirt
waists continues the butchers may
have to fall back upon denim or some
other substitute for shop aprons. The
supply is low, the price advancing. and
summer still two months away.
