All boots and. pumps for children

considered best for the arch of the

is very slight, however-just enough
to encourage the child to rest the

than on the back of the foot when
standing or stepping.

OF the most careful considerations of
the intelligent shopkeeper. Shoecraft
has reached high place In the arts
pertaining to dress, and not only must
the eye of the discerning mother be
satisfied these days. but also her mind
which knows exactly what she wants
and where to go for it. And SO, in
this endeavor to appeal to the mother,
the lasts of children's boots are be-
ing constantly changed and bettered
and new features are being introduced,
each making a bid for consideration
on the merit of some newly devised
hygienic feature.
The buttoned boot Is the accepted
standard of style for little feet as we'll
as for larger ones. and all childish
out-of-door costumes of a formal ma

pLEAsE SEND a SAMPLE.

n HE very latest craze in the circles
of young girldom is the sample
craze. Every little maid under
the high school age is collecting sam
pies like a beaver and the corner drug
gist bemoans his fate. I'VE used to
be pestered with people coming in for
postage stamps-and nothing else"
saws he. Now it's ten times worse
with dozens of little girls asking Gag
erly every day if we have any new
samples to give away. OF course it is
to the interest of the manufacturer
of toilet soap, facial cream, tooth pow
der. perfumery and the like, to give
out his samples to all who ask for
them, but we simply can't keep sam
pies of any kind in stock" There
are also the samples that come by
mail, IL one encloses two-cent stamp,
or two stamps, or even-for very
choice samples, ten-cent piece. The
object Is to get as many samples of
various sorts as one can, and then at
an afternoon Sample party" to ex-
change samples with other collectors.
