WALK OVER SHOES $3.5Oci$4.O0 Do not let anyone deceive you. None are WALK OVERS unless they aro stamped WALK OVER on the sole and on the strap of the shoe. A good word for the WALK OVER. Some merchants are try ing to sell other shoes claiming they are made by the same firm and fail to stamp them WALK OVERS. Do not be deceived. Quality tells. They have been tried and found not wanting in Style, Durability and Comfort. They are the embodytnent of foot ease and protec tion for the feet. Bear OVER shoe at a Son Goods ATTRACTIVE STREETS Hljhw.ya Should Be Wide end Houses Stand Well Back. A. narrow residential street mny b a rrry uttrnctlre one If tlio houses stnud well back from the street line, with pleasant grounds about them, says Sylvester Buxter In the September Cen tury. In a growing tuwn, however, the danger from such conditions comes With the liability to convert tho street to business purposes or to erect mora compactly disposed dwellings. If busi ness comes In, the transition Is com monly marked by Jugged Hues. Com mercial structures, often of a cheap ud undesirable aspect, are built out to the strout, whllo the dwellings staud recessed back nt lrrcgulur Intervals. And whea nt Inst the street Is fully oc cupied for business purposes It Is alto gether too narrow. The roadway and sidewalks are crumped, and often a widening has to take pluce at the pub He expeuse. If built up closely to the Hue with dwellings, tho street Is likely to lack air and sunshine, aud the tend ency is toward scjualld conditions. An excellent remedy for these evils la offered In tile Massachusetts law that empowered municipalities to es tablish building lines at any desired distance bsck from the street line. When such a line Is established, no buildings can be erected on the Inter, veulng space. The municipality ac quires au easement In this strip of Und, which can still be used by the rwner for anything but building pur poses, and on the establishment of such a line owners may claim dam ages, as In case of takings for a street widening. It Is, however, commonly more ot a beneOt than a damiigo to have property thus restricted, for It sssnres a more permanently desirable character to the street, nnd In case a street widening should ever bo called for no obstucles will stand In the way. By taking tho restricted strips there will be omplo room for the wider road way nnd sldewnlks. Ideiils for attractive sheet planning are to bo found In many parts of tlio United Htntes. There Is nothing mure clinriulng ns u rural street I ban that of a New England village nt Its best lofty nlsles of leafage, the tie; :i with feet In a carpet of turf nt the sidewalk border; the houses unlet and unob trusive, standing well bac k and mark ed with tho true home character, whether they ure humble cottages or ahodue of tho rich. The noblest de velopment of such rural streets Is to be found In tho old towtis of the Con necticut vullcy aud In western Massa chusetts. Thero the main hlghwuyi have an extraordinarily generous width, often giving room for quadruple rows of old elms and broad spaces ot turf, tho roadway requiring only a nnr row space In the total width of the thoroughfare.
