Confidence.

Old Winter comes a-roarin'
An the snow is fallin' fast,
An the north wind blows the door in
With his wild, unruly blast
But way down deep
There are blossoms fast asleep,
And the sunshine will come smilin' tt
awaken them at last.
The clouds must have their season,
Though beyond the skies are blue.
1t is hard to find reason
For the storms that break anew,
But we know somewhere
There are hours Of pleasure rare,
And we'll all be feeling happy when
the happy days are due.

Seven New Spring Models in
Women's Slippers and Pumps
From Laird, Schober & Company.

If women had the opportunity of
seeing the various shoes produced by
the many high-grade makers of this
country we believe that they all would
conclude that those made by Laird,
Schober & Company were the most
handsome and high grade. Such is our
belief, and it is being justified, season
after season, by the increasing number
of women who wear them.
The conspicuous features of the
shoe fashions are:
Graceful, slender, long-vamp lasts,
with ornamentation of some simple
but handsome character.
Plain shades, such as blue, cham
payne and white. also the combination
or contrasting colors; buckles and but
tons for trimmings; fancy designs in
cutting and designing and perforation
