Now everybody likes to hear story.
and so the passengers persuaded the

he began:
"Once upon time a famous gen.

to a river which they had to cross.
They were only able to build very
narrow bridge, so that they had to
cross over one by one. Tramp, tramp.

The man kept on saying. Tramp.

people grew tired of It. At last ono
said: yes. but 90 on with the story"
you must let them Cross the river"
the man replied. "One after the

Presently the people stepped h:;1
again and asked him to miss all that

"They cannot cross the bridge In .

Fit the Children's Feet

OF all the responsibilities that con-
front a mother, none holds a more ex-
allied position than that Of seeing her
children well shod. This not only
means just pretty shoes for girls and
stout, mannish shoes for boys, but
combination of fit, durability and style
An enterprising firm adopted the
phrase, "Tis feat to fit the feet" and
it is feat to fit the feet so that you
do not have the discomfort of an ILL
fitting shoe. Among the aches and
pains that flesh is heir to the foot
ache heads the list. II your feet hurt
you hurt all over. On you perhaps de-
ponds the condition of your children's
feet for a lifetime. See to it that the
shoes conform to natures changes.
Nothing is more deplorable than per-
feet feet made imperfect by ill-fitting
shoes. When little Mary persists that
her shoe pinches, or Johnnie declares
his hurt, don't discourage their COM
plants and try to make them satisfied
by saying that their shoes are new and
will Stretch" Have their feet fitted
with correct shape shoes that fit from
the start SO that Stretching is not
necessary. Watch your children's feet
and heed their complaints by finding
out the reason for their complaints.
Healthy children don't whine and fuss
without a cause. You owe your child
as careful thought on the kind of
shoes he wears as you do to call a
doctor if he is sick. The growing age
is the most important because the
child can not decide for himself.
Start the baby with the little soft
moccasin, then the flexible sole shoe.
When he begins to walk watch his
akles and so on to the little heels and
the bigger sorts. Remember that girls
especially develop arches" and these
"arches" must be fitted carefully IL
comfort and health are to be main
tanned.
Just between the low heel period of
children's shoes and the typical wo-
mans shoe, there are shoes for grow
ing girls" These are made with a low
heel, shaped just between the broad
toes of childish shoe and the per-
feet curve of woman's shoe.
Comfort and beauty are great COM
bination in the shoe world combina-
ton upon which any woman may just
lily bestow her vanity and man his
pride The shoe is made for you to be
its owner, that will give you COM
bination Of fit, durability and comfort.
We fit all shoes from the little folks
to tho "grownup." Remember this
that you can send your children to
WALLACES, and be sure that they
will receive the same careful treatment
s s:s *!.ev rrnnld II YOU were with them.
To be sure Of good. comfortable,
we'll fitting, durable shoe. try E. G..
Wallace, 1.-THE Shoeist," for your next
Dair.
