You who buy shoes from one to two and three months from now will be aware of this. And when it comes to purchases of fall slocks the purse will sufler most lamentably. A table was run last week showing the increased costs in manufacturing shoes. These figures did not include any freight, jobbers' prices, retail profits, overhead costs, interest in surance, etc. They were tlie bare coin to manufacturers, and show a tremendous increase over prices of two and even one year ago. Advices from the East indicate that further advances are on the way, and this time next year will no doubt see prices that would make the buyer to day shudder, even tho they are high enough at present. The arguments set forth here are that the shoes now on the shelves were purchased at least six months ago, and in many cases earlier than that There have been big advances In the meantime, but the local mer chant hat not added this big cost on to his present stocks. But he will sooner or later; for why should he sell a shoe today for $6 when it will cost him that much or nearly that much more to replace the same thing - ! No, he will simply add the increased price to what goods he has on hand I and the consumer will pay the dif I frrence. That is exactly the point that it is being attempted to emphasize u these columns. The advance is com ink. The styles in footwear are staple enough to tie to, and instead of waiting several weeks before buying the shoes that will aoon be necessary. invest now and make from 25 to 50 per cent on the investment. Just as 'pigs is pigs' to Mrs. Wiggs, so shoes is shoes to the retail merchant, and he is not going to suffer any slump in price for anyone. This is the last time this warning will be sounded.

S J The leading style development in patterns this spring is unquestionably the whole quartered boot. The de velopment of the one piece upper a clever bit of cutting and fitting leads to the design of a full quarter over a foxed forepart shows the path of design and the emphasis of the de sign in lace and button footwear. The influence on fashion in foot wear of the length and shape of the skirt is beinrr more and more realii- ed. The barrel skirt emphasijes the footwear worn to a greater degree. With silks in the lead for Parte finds that material more plentiful look for the lightness in dresses and with fluffy, flowing materiala the footwear must be fine in material and trim. Footwear is more feminine than ever before you can see it on the bottom effects especially In the Louie heel, winch is usually ol wood anil covered In material to match the np- to outline effects in vivid hues are the rage just now. Distinctiveness of costume is the great feature of wo men's dreas from now on. A riot of color in costumes helps to swing cloth into prominence as a footwear material Evening footwear The metaSc col ors are so much in evidence in the evening costuming that they find a dominant place in the footwear for social functions. The demand for original patterns is on the increase. The use of jeweled buckles is also extensive. The average man ia not so pert sc alar about the style of his shoee jus sr they are in style.
