MEN'S LOW SHOES
AT
YE OLI) TIME PRICES
Priced the Pair
$4.95, $6.00, $7.50
These shoes are made by such firms as
Hanan Son- A. E. Nettleton and How-
ard & Foster. They are the salvage of
the best stock of Men's Shoes ever car-
ried in Enid. They are the shoes we saved
in the fire which occurred in our Men's
Department on the night of November
13. Not a pair of these shoes are burned,
but a number of pairs show water spots
which can be removed by polishing.
They're worth the money, all widths, all
sizes.

FASHION appears never to frown
upon taffeta and continues to smile
Invitingly on combinations of wool and
latin, In afternoon frocks. Here are
(wo new models that seem at first
fiance quite far removed from one an-
other in style, but they have one con-
spicuous detail In common, for tliey
froth achieve the effect of the three-
tiered skirt. These are both good
([owns for now nnd later on, for after-
toon and informal dinner wear, and
|he wool dress Is equal to the require-
ments for street wear.
Brown, black or dark blue are apt to
be chosen for the cloth frock, and this
(leslgn would be as good In crepe de
chine as Ifi wool. The panel at the
front lends a long, graceful line to the
figure by extending its length to the
Dottom of the skirt, embroidered,
pointed flounces, edged with silk fringe
ire weighted by It so that they cling
!o the figure. There is no embroidery
n the bodice which Is plain, but it
peasurea up to the elegant standard
of the skirt by means of a wide shawl
collar, made of the material of the
dress, laid in fine side plaits.
Shimmering taffeta asks no help at
all in the making of the sweet frocks
at the right. Its two flounces and the
bottom of the skirt are bordered with
a double plaiting of the silk. Joined
(long the «?enter, and the sleeves and
neck are finished la the same way. It
is a wide skirt and simple, short-
sleeved bodice, joined by a narrow bolt
and made up in a light color makes a
pretty dance frock. In dark blue,
black, brown and other daytime colors
It is a charming model for afternoon.

IF we were In a world whore there
was nothing to do but look our
best, women would clothe their 'daugh-
ters in white, most of the time. But
this Is a grimy dwelling place for most
of us and white must be Immaculate,
therefore cannot be indulged In half
as often as we wish. Only the baby
Is allowed the joyous privilege of al-
ways going in white and that for a
brief few months. But every member
of the family Is occasionally privileged
nud white dresses are associated with
happy events in life from childhood
on.
With the return to high favor of
fine cottons, we find party frocks for
little girls aud flappers, made In or-
gandie In such lovely designs as that
shown in the picture. Once again ex-
quisite Swiss embroideries and narrow
dainty laces find themselves In com-
pany with fine tucks run In by hand,
and other painstaking needlework.
There is not so much work In mnking
these dresses, because they arc so
simply designed, but this work is done
with beautiful neatness—and there is
nothing like sheer white In fabrics and
handwork iu hiuking, when one under-
takes to achieve refinement In a dress.
The dress shown here is suited to a
girl of ten to fourteen years. The
straight skirt Is laid in double box
plaits, front aad buck, and has a four-
lneli liem, with a cluster of tine tucks
above it Each tuck Is a little over
an inch wide. There Is n plain bodice
with a panel of fine tucks and narrow
Val insertion, at the front nnd back.
Embroidery borders the panel at the
sides and bottom and a ribbon sash is
ingeniously set under the embroidery.
The ribbon Is brought through slashes
at each side, forming short loops at
the front. In the hack it is tied in a
how and ends. The sleeves are fin-
ished with both insertion and edging
of Val. Such u frock will stand much
laundering and Is crisp nnd dainty
enough to make a fairy envy Its wear*
