The "Dorothy Dodd" Shoe idea is'
unique. In the great variety of styles
which this line includes, there are shoes
for every sort of service, need or occasion,
and each is designed for a specific purpose.
. For instance, there are shoes especially
designed for dress, semi-dress, street,
outing, skating and other services, each
style being intended and suited for. its
particular service.,
t
Why not make a gift to some friend of a
Christmas Box of
" Dorothy Dodd" Shoes
for some particular sefince
She might not, herself, think of affording
a shoe especially made for that one object.
It is a gift that will he sure to please, for no
more delicate compliment can be paid to
woman than an appreciation of her pretty
foot, daintily shod.
The "Dorothy Dodd Shoe is itself such a
compliment.' Its STYLE is proverbial. Its
FIT faultless.
