It doesn’t matter what Madam’s taste may be we've got the very oxford she has in mind and at the price, too, that she has decided to pay. The

Walk-over quality is so well known that it needs no championing, but 1 do want to say a word about style. This season I have succeeded in getting more eastern snap into my Men’s and Woman’s oxfords than ever before. I have copied exactly the lasts and shapes of the most exclusive custom boot makers. I know the most magnificent show­

ing I am making will be a pleasant surprise to you.

Will you look at them in our windows?
