A great call for them, especially by

say, are giving way TO the darker
shades for the Forthcoming season,

Fall will be built along more sensible
lines than the last season. The long
fitting is the redeeming feature and 1t
may be said that the style is long
way In advance of that Of the last
season. 1t Is evident that this style
will continue to be the leader for Fall.
1t was fayorite In the Spring and
the popularity of a style does not fall
off quickly, though it is agreed by
many shoe men that change from
this style is absolutely essential. Many
men who ordinarily regard the die
tates Of fashion religiously have not
taken to the style, and cling instead to
the last, the characteristics of which
are higher toe and heel, last that
combines style with greater degree of
comfort. -
Notifications of this last are sure to
be highly popular with a large portion
of men. While the notifications of the
custom last with the improvements of
the present season will undoubtedly
have many adherents, it is hard to
figure out last that will SUI plant the
higher toe.
The principal Fall color is black,

consequence, principally because they

trouble with the fit Of this style In
the past may feel assured that they

inclined to the belief that the style for
Fall will be an extreme one; shoes will
have a slim, trim look, the toes will
be made as narrow as they can be
made without making them so they will
be uncomfortable They will have a mod

Edgar s. F'elton of Philadelphia. He shone with particular brilliancy upon the gridiron last year. He is well known about Boston, for prior to his entry into Harvard, he attended Mil ton academy. There he gained the reputation of being the premier boxer among the boys at the preparatory school. He is 23 years old, six feet and one-half inch tall and weighs 176 pounds.
 During his last year in Milton acad- erny he frequently struck out from IS to 20 men in the many baseball games at the school. F'eIton not only shone on the diamond, but the gridiron as well. After playing tackle and guard for two years at lGilton, he made the freshman eleven atHarvard playing right tackle.
