Anierlcnn-mado shoes bavo outdis
tanced thofco made nnywhero clso In
the world In tho race for cxccllcncn.
This haB been true so long that tho
American shoo In American shoe
shops Is sold everywhere. In points
of style, finish nnd variety tho Ameri
can shoo Is first nnd so far In tho
lend that thero is no second. Even
tho French shoes strike tho educated
taste of our countrywomen as un
shapely anil uninteresting, almost
wholly lacking In style.
Women have grown moro fastidious
in the matter of shoes and tho advance
of tho manufacturers in variety of
models produced, nicety with n,. de
mand bo ready that our mind is in
doubt as ,to whether this demand was
In existence beforo It was mot, or not.
At any rate, ench season brings forth
numbers of new models, arid tho styles
in nliocs aro gotting about as much at
tention thcBO days as the styles in mil
linery. Women have out-grown tho foolish
practice of pinching tho feet, or wear
ing shoes unsuitcd to their individual
needs. Such is tho varioty of lasts
tnado that thero Is ono for almost
every .foot. Thero aro several "types"
'which arc understood, and shoes aro
so cleverly cut by tho manufacturers,
so well thought out, that shapeliness
in the effect In all the different models
"Mannish" shoes nre chosen for
walking, having good substantial soles,
URESS FOR GIRL
Casbnn)ro,v veiling or flno sorgo
might bo used ror una simpio uiuu
dross, which, has ono deep tuck at tho
foot or skirt, and slight fullness at tho
waist, fulled to a llttlo band, to which
hn hndlco is also Joined. Tho pret
tily shaped berthn surrounds n yoke
of tucked silk, it is edged with plaited
Hllk, and hns silk covered buttons
Bown In tho corners,
lint of straw trimmed with n wreath
Materials required: Four yards 42
Inches Wide, two yards biik, l'o uui
heels moderately high and very stronc
nnd a general' appearanco of strength
nnd durability in tho entire uinko-up.,
For such shoes, tanB and blacks are;
naturally most popular. Ono may get!
thorn in brown, gun metal, ox blood'
nnd probably n similar shoo In other,
colors. Kid nnd calfskin furnish tho
materials of tho greatest nutnbor of
models in street shoes. In Fig. 1 an
idenl shoo for general wear Is shown.
It is as trim and sensible looking as
the plnin and handsomo tailored gown.
with which it is intended to bo worn,
nnd shows the snmo beauty and sim
plicity In cut, tho same caro In Its
flnish. Such a pair of shoes, It goes
without saying, almpst, is tho first
essential in any womnn's shoe-out fit
ting. Thcso sho .must have bo she
poor or rich. Happily, tho price Is
not nbovo tho reach of any one. Two
jpalrs of walking shoes, in good con-
union snouiu uo always on nana and
worn alternately.. Ono should keep
tho pair not In use, on shoctrees and
In good shape as to, cleanliness. Oc
casional attontlon to tho heels, whero
thero is n tendency to wear them off
at ono side, will prolong the lifo nnd
keep tho shape of tho shoe. It is a
good idea to have ono pair with high
tops so that the ankles will bo protect
ed in wot weather. Nothing repays
caro hotter than shoes. A shabby ap
pearanco Is tho fault of tho wearer,
nnd any shoo man will tell us that
proper care In kcoplng up tho good
appearanco of shoes lengthens tholr
term of service by half tho usual tlmo
of wearing.
Street shoes aro distinctly not for
tho bouse. A pnir of slippers or a sof
ter, drcssior boot, should roplaco them
Indoors. This chango Is good for tho
shoo, for the wearer and for tho floors.
If one lives in a houso with a summer
atmosphere all winter, thero is no
reason why slippers should not bo
worn. A lovely slipper Is shown In
Fig. 2. Every woman should provide
herself with such a pair. Most of all,
the business woman, who Is npt to
como homo fatigued from a trying or
n monotonous day. A simpio toilet
finished with n dainty nnd comfort
able pair of slippers. Tho "feel" of
the light, flexible and womanish slip-
por seems to pervade one. It shows
In tho carriage and amounts to n posi
tive refreshment. A little gown for
evening wear at homo should bo of
tho same characteristics as this slip
por, simple, pretty and most easily
tnken off nnd put on.
A dress shoe, is nnother csscntlnl
to tho wardrobe. TIiIb Is lighter In
mako than ft street shoo and a great
variety of styles is shown to select
from. Whero tho purso allows only
ono pair n fine, plain, woll-mndo kid
boot, like that shown In Fig. 3, is the
happiest choice. This model Is cut on
beautiful "clnssy" lines. One may buy
It with patent leather tip or vamp,
or In dull-finished kid. Tho moderate
French heel is graceful nnd redeems
tho model from too severe lines, with
junt a hint of tho frivolous In shoes
Tho cloth top shoo shown in Fig. 4
Is for thoso who rcnuiro a llttlo more
elaboration In a dross shoo, or for
those who wish to match a costume
It Is vory quiet by comparison with
tho footwear of thoso ultra fashion
nblcs who can Indulgo themselves in
luxuries in shoes as woll as other
things. Tho cloth top has a volvot col
lar and is finished with n silk cord and
tassels. Tho Cuban heol brings tho
design down to earth, as It woro, bo
that rallndy may wear this boot on it
clear day with a visiting gown, whon
sho goes to pay her calls or to attond
somo of thoso gatherings for which
Bho must "dross up" u bit. This beau
tlful boot Is dressy enough for any oc
casion, and appropriate for any, ex
cept, perhaps, for dancing.

Women's Secrets
mm
Thftre is ono man la tho United States who fiat perhaps heard
more women's secrets than ony other man or woman in the
country. These secrets are not Bccrp'.s of guilt or shame, but
tho tcrrets of suffering, and thoy havo been confided to Dr.
II. V. Pierce In the bono and expectation of advice and helo.
That few of thcso women havo been disappointed in their ex
pectations is proved by tho fact that ninety-eight per cent, ol
all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and
altogether cured. Such a record would bo rcmarkablo it the
cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. Dut when
that record applies to the treatment of more than half-a- mil.
lion women, in a practice of over 40 rears, it is phenomenal.
nnd entitles Dr. Piorco to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first ol
specialists in tho treatment of women's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult Dr. Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. All replio are mailed, sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, without
ony pHnting or advertising whatover, upon them. Write without fesr as with
out fee, to World's Dispensary Medical Association. Dr. R. V. Pierce, Prcat.

Did you ever find a lemon in a horse's nose? How and why did it get there? Did the
last horse you bought go incurably lame the next day ? Do you know why ? Why
were his ears tied together with a fine silken thread? Perhaps you are about to buy a
horse because you like his " ginger " ? Are you sure it is health and high spirits, or IS
it ginger commercial ginger? Are you sure you could tell the age of a horse by Its
teeth? Or would your experience be like that other man's, who paid $3500 for a 17-year-old
horse, thinking he was buying a 7-year-old ? The horse had been " Bishoped.'
Horse buying and trading offer hundreds of opportu
nities and temptations to use trickery and sharp prac-
