HIGH SHOES POPULAR.
Dealers Surprised by Demand
Which Upsets Predictions.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December Is.
Shoe dealers here are coming to
the conclusion that this is a high
shoe winter so far as shoes for men
are concerned, despite earlier predic-
tions of a vogue for low shoes which
caused numbers of retailers to stock
up heavily with that style.
The managers of several Chestnut
street shoe stores and of one chain
of stores that does business in several
cities reported today that in spite of
the persistence with which low shoes
are being put before the man on the
street, he insists on demanding high
leather uppers that will protect his
ankles against the weather
One of the large department stores
reported that In November so per
cent more high shoes were sold than
low shoes. Two other stores known
throughout the country reported
about equal sales of high and low
shoes, where the proportion of low
shoes had been expected to be nearer
80 per cent of the total sales
The only class of buyers that seems
to have followed the dictates Of fash
ion entirely are college boys. Ninety
per cent of them buy low shoes.
