ventional riding boot with the stiff
upper part attached TO a foot portion
of perfect lines and extreme hex-
ibility so that the foot and ankle may
have absolute freedom in the stirrup.
The tramping boot has smart and
attractive lines though 1t Is evidently
built for rough and ready service as
attested by its roomy toe, low broad
heel and high top. laced with cow
hide thongs. both of these boots are
made of the new washable tan leather
which Is the joy of the woman con-
stitutionally in a hurry. Footwear
made of this tan leather may be
cleaned even more easily than the
white boot which one sponges off and
sets to dry overnight. All that is
necessary to rejuvenate the tan boot
Is to wipe over it's surface with
sponge or cloth dipped in ordinary
soap and water and prestol the boot
emerges as colorful and lustrous as
the day 1t was bought. No polishing
necessary and no carrying of pre-
pared dressings in ones trunk with
the danger of disaster to ones sum-
mer fnery Another good point about
this new tan leather is it's immunity
from stains. Even mud will not dis
color it and it marches seatheless
through wet underbrush and over
soaking turf.
