IS Smart"
Footwear
n "Smart" DreSSerS

The many functions in So
cial life which have followed
one another in such close
succession during the past
three weeks, together with
those which are yet to take
place and the consequent
needs of footwear for such
occasions, have kept us
buster than we have ever
been in any season hereto
fore. Anticipating this ex-
traordinary demand in both
women's and mems evening
footwear weeks ago we gave
orders for a plentiful supply,
so that Just now assortments
and sizes are perfectly COM
plete.
AS evidence of the COM
F pleteness of our varieties
we've only to point to the
hundred or more shades in
the correct materials in wo-
mems evening slippers from
which any gown may be
matched perfectly.
Just as complete is the va
riety of carriage boots and
boudoir footwear, comprising
every correct" fashion, the
former in fur-lined black vel
. vet and black and colored
quilted satin, the latter in fur
trimmed "Fausts" and .'Ro-
I meos," satin Mules" etc.
The extra demand for wo-
mems and mems sporting
footwear has been promptly
met. The largest New York
shoe shops show no more
fashions in these lines
than are shown here. Golf
boots, fencing shoes, gymna-
sium shoes, basket ball shoes
and riding boots, the latter in
all kid, all calfskin, all patent
leather and kid and patent
leather.
Mems golf boots, oil grain
hunting boots in black and
tan, mems "Puttee" leggins,
mems French calf, Russia, all
enamel leather, riding boots
all in splendid assortment.
If you are re-outhtting the
coachmen you will find here
the correct boots and tops in
the Correct" feathers.
No other shoe shop in the
world is more careful of the
fitting of children's feet, and
certain it is there is no other
stock of children's shoes so
comprehensive as this--an
entire fioorf,,l of footwear for
the little ones.
