To Be Well Dressed
Your Feet Must Be Neatly and
Stylishly Clad.

Your Spring Slipper should
be selected with care and
thought. Much depends upon
their fit and style. The evil
dence of a slightly longer
skirt and an early spring tends
to make slippers, rather than
boots, the most advisable pur-
chase. Il,
Your slipper this spring
should be neater and more
conservative order than the
past seasons styles.
Beautiful plain pumps in
patent and dull leather, some
with small tongue effects.
Strap effects will be good.
The seasons most popular
novelty will be Pearl Grey
Kid. Following this in popu-
larity will be White Washable
Kid, Bronze and Havana
Brown Kid.
An unusual novelty in pa
tents this season is the Priscil-
la-Pump. Ask to see it in our
department. White will be en-
ployed extensively in foot
wear in a variety of materials.
You will find all of these
and more too in our new Shoe
Department. You will find
the shoe you want and one
to fit you. We carry all
widths. We have added to
our department the Zeigler
line and that famous line of
Fox light weight footery. We
also have Satin Slippers to
match the exact shade of your
costumes.

What You VIII Wear

a critical time Oh care1ul
thought and consideration is
at hand for every woman.
Just how wisely you choose
from the wearables placed be-
fore you the next few weeks
will determine how attractive
and suitable your clothes will
be the entire six months to
come.
You must have garments of
style, but these above all must
be of a cut and style that is
becoming. It is most essential
that your apparel be becom-

the idea to combine the essen

stylish, finely tailored, and
moderately priced. The col
ors for Spring are Navy Blue,

and Green.
The styles are of such a var

wear one of several different
effects and be right.
The most popular effect is a

ners so as to give the fullness
graceful lines.
Among the other styles that
will be seen this season are
cape effects and full box coats.
These creations are very
charming.
Another novel idea is the
use of jersey cloth in vivid
colors for suits. These were
originally intended for sport
wear but are now adopted to
street wear.

Silk suits and silk and wool
combinations are very smart
this season.

ALL PREDICTIONS OF

London, July 2s.-By the Marquis
of Crewe, Acting Foreign Minister:
The beginning of the third year OF
the war finds all the predictions of our
enemies falsified- They said the al
lance would be split asunder. 1t has
never been stronger.
They said our armies could not be
armed or, IL they were armed, they
would prove useless in the field against
powerful professional soldiers The
fighting on the Somme has proved
there are no armies Ike those OF free-
men fighting for liberty and no stream
of munitions Is so continuous as that
provided by the men and women who
have given I'D case and profit at the
summons of the high call. It also has
been said that the nations of the world
were so inextricably intertwined that
it was impossible for war to be con-
Quoted against Germany and her al
lies without serious infringement OF
the recognized sovereign rights OF
neutral powers.

In this resolve of amity in the

of equity toward all, the allies Will
pursue during the coming year the
path that leads to final victory.

next season are ready to be harvested.
The was Is costing England about
5000, 900 pounds sterling day. 1t Is
probably costing Germany half as

Germany's position Is certain to be
