How to Buy Shoes.

"People would find less difficulty with
ready made Shoes" said an expert
enced salesman, "if they would stand
up to fit them on instead of sitting
down. Nine persons out Of ten, par
ticularly women, want q comfortable
chair while they are fitting shoe, and
it is with the greatest difficulty that
you can get them to stand for few
minutes, even after the shoe Is fitted.
Then when they begin walking about
they wonder why the shoes are not
so comfortable as they were at first
trial. A woman's foot is considerably
smaller when she sits in 4 chair than
when she walks about. Exercise
brings larger quantity Of blood into
tie feet. aud they swell appreciably.
In buying shoes this fact should be
borne in mind
