Brown Rubbers for Brown Shoes.

1t seems to be comparatively I'M
known fact that tan rubbers and tips
are as easy TO obtain as are the black
overshoes. In fact black shoes are
often provided just for use In rainy or
snowy weather, because while brown
boots and low shoes are preferred for
ordinary wear. black are worn on the
damp days. because the combination
Of black rubber and brown boots is so
very unattractive. Brown shoes are
decidedly fashionable at present, and
the tan rubbers. when they have once
become well known, will do much to
keep these smart tan boots In vogue.
