IN SHOES as in suits and dresses
the vogue of black is seen.
The Palace Clothing company has
wonderfully complete showing of Fall
shoes.
The oxfords for Fall and Winter
wear are better looking than ever and
not so expensive.
The black patent leather oxford
with very stylish flat heel and many
perforations is a marvellous looking
shoe for dressy street wear. The black
blucher, flat heeled oxford of heavy
leather is also very stunning shoe.
The calfskin and the dull kid OK
fords with military heels will appeal
more perhaps to the woman who is
for the first time going to give up
high shoes for Fall and Winter wear.
High shoes really are quite passe, ex-
cept in the outing styles for sports,
or very inclement weather.
There are two nifty styles in the
brown oxfords. too.
In the black satin and dull kid
pumps. both with and without a strap.
there is also a very excellent selection
at the Palace Clothing company.

IT WON'T add to your comfort to
have me discuss the heat, so let's for
get it and think about how cold it's
going to be next winter-and how good
it's going to feel to step into your
home and find it snug and warm
with a CHEEKY fire in the CRATE, etc.
Now that the scene is all set. just
consider that the very best way to be
sure of a winters solid comfort is to
lay in your supply of coal right now,
from the McCleery- Dudley company.
. If you order your coal now, you
won't be calling up frantically to urge
the immediate delivery of a load of
coal to keep the house warm for the
Riddles or some sick member of your
family. There always are so many lag
CARDS that it works a hardship on all
of them when the cold weather really
comes.
The McCleery-Dudley company can
supply you right now. Their tele-
phone number is 972.
P. S. Your wife will appreciate
having the coal all in before house
cleaning time.

There is one thing you must not

Maybe you had fun at time you took
