How many clerks know how to lace
shoe correctly9 The great majority be-
lleve that the lacing of a shoe has but
little to do with the sale, and yet no
duty is more important. To lace a shoe
snug and do it quickly is difficult art
to many. The laced shoe should, before
the customer passes Judgment upon it,
be without twist in the cord and bow
from vamp to shoe top. The bow should
lay fat with the knot horizontal. Prac-
tice has made many a clerk an expert
, in the lacing of shoe. The high shoe
is comparatively easy to lace, and yet
to show the shoe off to perfection needs
these self-same touches of lace and bow,
says Boot and Shoe Recorder.
In the high shoe, insert the ends and
pull the first loop snug and without
twist, and at the same time make the
ends of uniform length. Lace up over
the instep with the cross stitch, then to
the hooks and shoe top. Practice will
make every strand lay perfectly fat
Some prefer the loop style of lacine
where each brace of eyelets are gripped
by the cord horizontally. This method
is prettier, but takes more time to do
The preliminary loop is made, then one
end of the lace is inserted in one of the
upper eyelets and drawn short, while
the other and longer end is looped hori
zontally, under and over, to the top Of
the instep, then laced over the hook
as before.
Il The bow, most difficult of all, is thu
essential feature Of an attractive foo
setting, whether Oxford or high cut. t,
tie the bow correctly is not difficult, ant
yet nineteen out of twenty clerks do i
J wrong. After the first knot is made AM
