The good-looking and substantial
boot also shown in the picture is for
those who undertake all sorts of ex-
cursions in walking, mountain climb
ing. and travelling. or those who like
a plain and substantial and altogether
comfortable shoe for daily wear. It is
made with kid vamp and cloth uppers.
and may be had in combinations OF
leather. The sole is fairly heavy and
has small extension; the heel is low,
In keeping with its general character
the stitching Of the parts together
makes its only decoration.
This particular shoe was designed
for the miss, but it is so similar in
character to the shoe for grown-ups
which answers the purposes described,
that there is no apparent difference
in them. JULIA BoTToMLEY.
