FORE IN LOW SHOES

The time for low shoes is here, and
lest you forget. the era for pretty
shoes also is here-and to stay. Along
with these facts comes "OXford Day"
only TWO days OIL The shoe dealer is
all ready for Saturdays business ana
the pubic will find an array of low
shoes IN all the stores seldom seen In
any city of the size of Wilmington.
Real summerish weather prompts
the public to consider comfort in their
foot covering and the many merchants
who have big stocks of low effects on
hand should put more than usual of-
fort into exploiting them.
The art of making low effects at
tractive has progressed very quickly
in the past few years and today there
is almost no limit to the variety Of
smart OXfords and slipper styles pro-
duced in all sorts of combinations
and materials.
The short pointed throat effects are
the best sellers of the season and they
are the logical notifications from the
spear tongue Colonial OF a year ago.
Lace oxfords are good and several
styles have recently been created in
New York which are button fastened.
More shoe dealers are coming to
the front i'm the interest OF "OXford
