In this era of the short skirt, both
womenfolk and shoe manufacturers
are making the most of the opportunity
to display dainty footwear. A skirts
have grown shorter, shoes have
grown prettier, trimmer in line and
more feminine in character, until the

Third Floor, Paxton Block
Three years ago you could not buy u good shoe in Omaha for
$12.50. 1 opened a store on the sixth floor of the Paxton Block in
one room. .My business increased so 1 had to move to the Third
Floor to get more room where I have fourteen rooms and can
seat 150 people at ono time. There is only one reason for this enor-.
nious growth. That is that ALEXANDER sells the best footwear
in the west for $2.50. Why do all other shoe stores dislike
ALEXANDER? Because he can sell better footwear than they
can for $2.50. Now, the uetioii comes into your mind How
can ALEXANDER sell $5.00 ami $4.00 sho'es for $2.50 f I
go east once a month. During the progress of manufacturing
shoes, 8 per cent of every factory's output is canceled, some retail
er in St. ljouis goes broke, a salesman's error causes a Cin
cinnati merchants's order to be returned, a factory tries out a new
last. These shoes have the very best leather in them, and the
factory is glad to realize the first cost of the leather to dispose of
them. 1 buy these shoes and ship them to Omaha and sell them to
you ou a 10 per cent margin. Shoes that were made to sell at
$5.00 and $1.00, for '

smartly and wH
fully imart tramping tho and com
fortable, low heeled house slippers
may be had from this aame boyV fc
partment. The new shoes and boots for
women have all the feminine character
istics of springing arch and well lifted
heel, and many touches of daintiness
make the new footwear so distract
ingly pretty that it is a conspicuous
part of the costume. There are women
who can wear low shoes and pumps
in the street all winter long and whol
declare they do not suiter a wmt
thereby; but this is a very dangerous
practice and the results do not always
make themselves felt until of a really
serious nature. High boots, when trim
and well fitting are really smarter, as
well as vastly more sensible, for cold
weather wear, and the new styles are
so pretty that they make the foot
quite as small and dainty in appear
ance as does Summer footwear.
The vamp of the popular winter
boot while short is not so to the ex
treme, as we have seen it in some
styles for several seasons past. Me
dium length vamp, rounded toe, heel
1 to 2 in. these are the hallmarks
of correct stlye in street footwear for
the Fall and Winter before us.
One of the best sellers and a recog
nized staple is a high-button boot with
patent leather vamp topped with fine
kid. Button boots are, of course, al
ways smarter and more dressy than
lace boots, and more women prefer
the button variety. However, this fact
has nothing to do with the style of
lace boots, for one may purchase all
the best models in the lace as well as
the button boot.
There are some especially attractive
and novel cuts in tips this season
which add a new and pleasing touch
to dressy shoes. Tips that are short
in the centre and extend from 24 to
3 in. on the sides from the point of
the toe are new and extremely good
ideas.
At the Gould-Drexel wedding in
New York last April the bridesmaids
wore, with their short frocks, high
satin boots instead of the customary
J slippers, and as this important bridal
established styles in and beyond the
metropolis for months to come, many
of the winter dancing trocks will be
worn with satin boots of matching
satin. These boots of course have the
lightest of light turned soles and high
Louis neeis covered witn me saun in
very dainty fashion.
When slippers are worn, the choice
lies just now between gay little affairs

of ,'a& vrWrt. which somehow Hare
a dashing, wicked look about them,
and h lovrly gold slippers which are
orn wrti etlk lrr tn a golden tone.
For wer rv'fr ypht tvfjntyf- gowns,
and especially with trailing gowns,
these "golden slippers and stockings
have a delightful effect of luxury, and
they make the foot look fairylike:
The black velvet slipper is of course
worn with sheer black silk hose, and
in pump form, these slippers are setn
in the afternoon with carriage cos
tumes. These velvet pumps are occa
sionally seen on the street, but they
are out of place, and in bad tnste with
anything but a house or carriage cos
tume. Slipper ornaments are very small
as they should be; for a big rosette,
bow or buckle which breaks the
graceful line from instep to toe is al
ways, ugly and clumsy, and invariably
makes the foot look several sizes
larger than it really is. Nobody but
Pierrot who aims to look grotesque
should wear big, lumpy rosettes on
the slipper front; and when slippers
so decorated are purchased, the
rosettes should be ripped off and a
flat bow or tiny meta'. or rhinestone
buckle substituted. &yine of the new
slipper buckles are uo larger than
buttons, and one mav pay from half a
dollar to twenty dollars for a pair of
these pretty little ornaments which
are no bigger than the mammoth set
tings of smart little finger rings.
Persian silk slippers are a fad which
will be taken up by women with feet
small enough to stand the test, and
these slippers, worn with scarlet silk
hose, are very gay and pretty. A
pair of Persian satin slippers dis
played in a shop window beside a
Chanticler red gauze frock, the other
day, had high French heels covered
with the satin, and tiny oval buckles
of dull gilt with red leather centers.
The new boots for wear with after
noon carriage costumes, are distract
igly pretty. Sometimes the entire
boot is of suede or ooze leather in
a shade matching the costume; and
sometimes the top only is of suede,
the vamp and a two-inch "collar"
around the top of the boot being of
patent leather. This collar at the top
is a feature of the new Fall footwear,
and often there is also a gay little
silk tassel dangling at the front of the
boot, for all the world like the tas-
seled boots worn by the pretty ladies
of the 60's who if their own accounts
are to be believed wore much
smaller footwear than is the rule to
day. A New Black

Some of these collar-top boots
have vamps of patent leather and up
pers of twilled silk with little figures
thrown up on the surface, an1 smart
est of the smart is the black satin
upper on a patent leather vamp, with
flat buttons of white pearl set in a
row of small scallops. Ihese boots
are most daintily built, and usually
the silk tassel at the top adds to the
daintiness. Ihey are liked by the wornen
who adhere religiously to black foot
wear passing all the enticements Of
the colored suede leathers designed
to match dress materials. Cloth tops
are seen on patent leather boots with
short walking or shopping suits in the
mornings, but for dress wear, if one
must have black, the satin topped
boot, or the boot with a twilled silk
top is the correct thing. These dressy
boots have light welted soles with
very little extension at the edge, and
though the heels are high, they are
usually of the Spanish rather than the
French type. The much curved Louis
XV. heel has been for so long the
particular hallmark of the demimonde
in the street that refined women avoid
this type of heel except in evening
footwear; equally high, but straight
heels in the Spanish style being pre
ferred for afternoon street wear.
Louis heels were revived temporarily
two seasons ago with the exaggerated
Directoire costumes, but the straight,
high Spanish heel has a dignity and
formality which the frivolous Louis
heel can never hope to emulate.
A bit later when the fur-bordered
skirts appear, we shall see on the
street the gay hussar boots with fur
collars at the top. These Russian col
lars of fur are set around the top of
the boot above a straight collar of the
leather which is fastened with two
military looking frogs of cord, the
boot fastening below in the usual way.
A very chic pair of fur-topped Rus
sian walking boots were displayed in
a Fifth Avenue window last week,
alongside a short-skirted walking suit
of stone gray cloth trimmed with
chinchilla. The little boots, or at least
they looked little, so cjever was the
bootmaker's craft, were of dressed
gray calf, the grain and not the soft
side of the skin being outside. Thefe
boots buttoned with tortoise shell but
tons, and there were tiny tortoise
shell buckles set at the joining of up
per and vamp on the instep. At the
tqp of the boot was a collar of gray
chinchilla fur, with a gray silk tassel
in front.
