Footwear for Fall and Winter

Copyrlcbtl. 1U. by I. J. Roblwon.

E who has pretensions to the

title of "well-dressed" cannot be too careful about bis footwear; a shabby or misshapen shoe on a gentle-

nan's foot li si Inexcusable as soiled

linen on ' bis body. The shoes provided by -'standard makers for the coming season are the most shapely that bare been seen for a long time. No extremes are shown In toe or heel, or other points. The "bulldog" effect Is popular throughout 'the West, but Is seen not at all on the new shoes In tb TM which are now on exhibition foe fall and winter custom.

It 1 surprising to observe bow the an itiM haa an net-aed ed the dull blade

L-meaateg Ute ordinary black calf or

kid ebne that has to be "shlned" In order to' present a decent appearance. In most of our larger cities men of business and social affairs hare practically abandoned that: tbey -wear tan shoes until kIx o'dcxk in the e-n!ng, and then put on the patent leathers if they are Rong out ; otherwise they don comfortable tilippers or "Julletg." Laced tan chocs, medium weight for early fall and heavier weight for later, stormy days, are now on exhibition.

Shoe dealers tell me that they expect to 6ell them all winter long, and have four or five new lines on hand. The patent leather shoe for dress or semi-dress this fall will have five buttons, flat and black. The shapes of all shoes are what the dealers designate as "conscryatiYe a&d eoow toe

BT OKViIXE O. VICTOR effect of the English last. The toe? are narrower and thinner than last season, while the high military heel has been replaced with one flatter and not more than 1U Inch high. For formal evening wear kid or cloth tops, and plain toes, are demanded by the fall fashions. Ylci kids run from medium to broad. Pumps, to accompany full dress, are in patent leather, with heavier soles than those in vogue last season. With dinner clothes, however, dull pumps are coming into favor. For afternoon functions dull leather shoes with colored tops are both popular and proper.

This pertains more to black leather

than to the tans.

Great variety Is shown in sports

men's rhoes; a popttfar one is made of horse hide, with double soles and Goodyear welt. For "tramping" and general country wear a shoe that will undoubtedly meet with high favor this fall is of heavy Russian calf, with scafe sole and. heel. This shoe has a layer of rubber between the insole and outsole, and Is declared to be absolutely waterproof. A handy novelty in footwear (and that is not intended for a pun) is In travel slippers, made of kid, so soft and pliable that they may be slipped into the hip pocket; small cases art also furnished for them; they come in black, tan and oxblood, and are worn mostly during long automobile journeys, but are also In favor for Pullman car and steamboat travel.
