Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 289, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 December 1915 — The One-Lace Shoe. [ARTICLE]

The One-Lace Shoe.

Have you seen the one-lace shoe? Not the shoe that laces at the side nor yet the shoe that laces straight down the back—although the shoe in question does lace down the back. But this is a shoe that laces with Q»ly one lace. And the lace fastens around little metal hooks, from top to bottom, like those at the top of men’s laced boots. These hooks would prove awkward if skirts were longer, for they would be sure to catch in the hem of ths skirt and cause tripping and fallß. But with the skirt swinging well above the boot top, and far away from it, too, because of the flaring hem, there is no chance of catching in the little metal hooks. It goes without saying that these new boots could be very quickly adjusted.
