The safe way is to get every
thing necessary before you
start, and then if YOU wish to
duplicate anything you buy,
order it by mail, stating the
number inside the shoe.
All the necessary footwear for
wear on your outing is shown
here in vast assortment and in
the most exclusively stylish
fashions. The Tie and Pump for

The attention of those who
