is the Rubber Passing?

Less and less are women inclined to
wear rubbers. Even the best of the
latter detraCt from the spruce, correct
look of the costume, and rubbers on
the feet make one feel as we'll as look
a bit clumsy. Women, moreover have
so many pairs of boots nowadays in
comparison with the one or two pairs
that used to be deemed sufficient for a
season that the getting of one pair
muddy or wet does not SO much mat
ter. Tan boots are the accepted sort
for stormy day wear and there is a
new tan leather which neither mud,
slush nor wet will stain and which does
not acquire ugly black streaks across
the instep from the rubbing of wet
skirts. These boots may also be clean
ed with a sponge and ordinary soap
and water with no injury to color or
luster.
