Special Length Drawers
for Short Men.

It's not very long ago that draw
ers of woven fabrics were made upon
one scale of measurement-namely,
the waist size, and no difference
whatever in the, length Of the leg.
The result was, the man of average
size had little or no trouble in being
fitted, while the short man had only
one course open-turn up three or
four inches at the bottom, insuring
a clumsy, unpleasant feeling. This
has all been changed, and we ar,
now showing a complete line of Knit
Drawers, in lengths especially for
short men, ms cotton, merino and
wool-light, medium and heavy
weights. These are shown in two
piece garments and in union or
combination suits Prices range
from
$1.oo to $500 garment.

The question of shoes is of vital
interest to every woman. Of great
est Importance to most women is
the style and correct shape of the
shoes-fnish, looks; though there
are great many who want comfort
ableness regardless of style and
finish.
1t is our aim and has been since
the Inauguration of this department,
and will continue to be, to combine
to the greatest degree style and
comfort.
All our shoes are made rights and
let's from start to finish. This
means that different measurements
are made for both right and left
feet, and lasts made to correspond.
We have shapes for any kind OF
foot and no end of graduation in
sizes and widths. 1t is impossible to
be mishtted. except through care
lessness of statesmen (Which we do
not tolerate1 or customer insisting
on the wrong size.
What is fit in the ordinary run
of shoes is not a fit here. We
furnish a perfect ft-a glove fit
that touches the foot everywhere but
squeezes it nowhere.
Special attention is called to the
following lines:
