I 4 •?..>-** / Says “Mollie” to “Mac” on the comer of Meridian and Washington, ‘lt’s all very well to preach clothes, haberdashery, bank accounts and furniture to us as necessary helps to ‘Make the Grade!’ but one can’t fly up or creep up a grade! I find that persistent day-by-day trudging is the best way, don’t you, ‘Mac’? ‘Watch Your Step!’— that’s it! That surely means that what we step out-and-up in and with—meaning shoes—should be the best there is! It seems to me that —” “’Scuse my interruption, lady, but I have been watching the feet of the men and women walking by us while you spoke your piece. Give ’em the low-down for a minute.

But if you’re really planning to MAKE the Grade, go HOT FOOT to that new pair of GOOD SHOES you’ll buy today! I * * ' 'x. - .• ‘ *• • V, .
