WEDNESDAY OCT. 12, 1910 ~ WHEN MILADY BUYS SHOES. A Comedy Which Ends to the Satisfaction of All* Concerned. 4?HEN a woman has a new Wy pair of shoes sent home," said the cynical salesman, "she goes to work at 'em very unlike a man under similar circumstances. "She never shoves her toes into them and yanks at 'em till she's red in the face, nor after getting them on at last does she go stamping around, telling those shoes with great frankness what his opinion is of 'em and of herself for ever countenancing 'em. No. "She pulls 'em carefully part way on, twitches 'em off again to take another look at 'em to see whether she has got the right shoe on the left foot and the left shoe on the right foot, pulls 'em all the way on, looks at 'em dreamily, says they seem to fit so well that she's afraid they'll get too big by and by, takes another look at 'em, twists 'em around to take a side view, gives a little scream and exclaims: "'Oh, my! There's a wrinkle alTIrtw InASA fV)Pv nrp!' A CUUJ i "VU v "Then she looks at 'em again, square in front, works the feet around to find if she can't induce the shoes not to hurt quite so much, takes the shoes off, looks at the heels, the toes, the soles and the interior, puts 'em on again, walks up and down the room once or twice and declares positively to her husband, sitting by: " 'They're horrid! I won't have them at any pricer "Then she tilts down the looking glass on the dresser so she can see . how thev aDDear viewed from all the positions the mirror will reflect 'em to her, backs off. trips sidewise, steps nearer, nearly dislocates her neck trying to see how they look from impossible points of view, takes a fareweli glance at 'em, moves away, takes another farewell glance at 'em from all \ # positions, sits down and says: 'They, make my, teet look too hor: ' I Beginning sell our ent I Goods, etc., before movi but we are c make some $ 15.00 Suits 12.50 Suits 10.00 Suits 8.00 Suits 5.00 Suits 4.00 Suits 2.50 Suits 1.50 Suits 1.25 Suits SEE OUR We carry lip ies and the ] ffl Buggies. W W QUICK bej jj|fr prices we ar |jj| Ha La H SWANSEA, rid for anything and" as if I were wearing at least threes and a half. They never will do in the world.' "Then she takes 'em off, turns 'em over, inspects heel, toe. sole and^hside all over again, smooths out a wrinkle, pulls at the buttons and says: " 'Every button on them will drop off the first time I go out in them. I know. And those heels! They look almost ridiculously low enough to be common sense heels. The idea!' "Then she draws 'em on again, takes 'em off, puts 'em on, looks 'em over again in the mirror this, that and the other way, takes 'em off and says: " 'John, dear, won't you give me your idea about these shoes? You have such excellent taste and judgment In such things.' "Then if John is wise he will look 'em over and say that they look to him absurdly high as to heel, thin as to sole and too tight around the instep. " *Oh, do you, dear? she will say and thank him sweetly. "Then she will try 'em on again, show them off before the mirror, sit down, run her hand over 'em gently, smile, ring for the maid and say to her: "'You may tell the messenger, Jane, that I will keep the shoes.' "And everybody is satisfied. So much better than a man's is the way of a woman with a pair of new shoes." ?New York Sun. Preparing For the inevitable. Jonah was on his memorable voyage. "Captain," he said to the commander of the Phoenician tub, "I want you to give me a receipt in black and white for my passage money." "What's gnawing you?" inquired the bluff old Mediterranean sea dog. "Ain't the fact that I don't put you ashore proof enough that you've come across with th' plunks?" Jonah shook his head. "Nope," he said. "I want a receipt in full that can be put on record.

As a curiosity these figures may attract you for a minute, but the most curious thing about them is that three quarters of this money is regularly sent away from the South and the South is that much poorer for it. You trade at a Southern shoe store. You give the dealer your money. You probably buy a western or northern made shoe. - When the dealer pays his bill, this money, less a small per cent to the dealer, goes north or west and the South is that much poorer. Keep your money at home. Let it work for better Kofi-or wflorps. more factories, more work for LliJLlV^Oj L/V/bkV/x i. ? , Southern people. Ask your dealer for The Craddock Shoe. Made in the South, by white labor, for Southern gentlemen. The best shoe value offered by any maker in the land for $3.50 and $4.00. Money spent for Craddock Shoes stays in the South, and pays Southern labor, Southern grocers, bakers and butchers. It builds Southern factories, homes and schools. We can support more and better industries. Let's each do his part - * CRADDOCK-TERRY CO. Lynchburg, Va. These Shoes are for sale by H. N. Kaminer & Co., LEXINGTON, S.
