The shoe Situation.

Imme diate demands in footwear are quiet
and jobbers of women's lines show much
hesitancy in placing future contracts, owing to
uncertainty as 10 st yles and the fact that many
retailers are said to be overstocked. In con-
trast, most manufacturers of mems goods are
busy, and some claim to be rushed wi. orders.
General trade in shoe leather still lacks activi-
ty. but with war at hand many lines will be
wanted for military purposes and the long
continued dulness in packer hides has been
broken. though transactions are at price cor

1t was in the search for the tie
that he turned up mute reminder
OF his nearest approach to any edge
OF the real chasm of sentiment; a
small glove, somewhat soiled and
use-worn, with a tiny rip in one of
the fingers. 1t had been a full year
since he had seen the glove or its
owner, whom he had met only once,
and that entirely by chance. The girl
was a visitor from the West, the
daughter of a ranchman, he had
understood; and she had been stop
ping over with friends in a neighbor-
ing town. Smith had driven over one
evening in his runabout to make a
call upon the daughters of the house
and had found a lawn party in pro-
gress, with the western visitor as the
guest of honor.
Acquaintance-such an acuuaint-
ance as can be achieved in a short So
cial hour-had followed. At all points
the bewitching young woman from
the wilderness had proved. to be a
mocking critic of the commonplace
conventions, and had been moved to
pillory the same in the person of her
momentary entertainer. Some thrills
this young person from the wide
horizons had stirred in him were his
only excuse for stealing her glove.
There remained now nothing of the
clashing encounter at the lawn party
save the soiled glove, rather OBJ
scure memory of a facetoo piquant
and attractive to be cheapened by
the word pretty" these and a
thing she had said at the moment
of parting: Yes, 1 am going back
home very soon. 1 don't like your
SNUG middle West civilization, Mr.
Smith-it smothers me. / don't Won
oer that 1t breeds men who live and
grow up and die without ever having
chance to find themselves"
Some day, perhaps, he would tell
Verda Richlander of the .sharp-ton-
gued little Western beauty. Verda-
and all sensible people-would smile
at the idea that he, John Montague
Smith, was of those who had not
found themselves, or that the find
ing-by which he had understood
the Western young woman to mean
something radical and upsetting -
could in any way be forced upon a
man who was old enough and sane
enough to know his own lengths and
breadthS and depths.
He was stripping off his coat to
dress when he saw two letters which
had evidently been thrust under the
door during his absence with Debritt.
One of the envelopes was plain, with
his name scribbled on it in pencil
The other bore a typewritten address
with the card of Westfall Foundries
Company in its upper left-hand cor
ner. Smith opened Carter Westfalls S
letter first and read it with a little
twinge of shocked surprise, as one
