SHOE

Prison to Palace

M

Y first impulse to shoe designing can be traced to the feeling that when I put my feet into shoes, I was putting them into prison, where comfort was impossible. How many dainty feet bear the scars of that same prison experience! Finally it occurred to me that to free the foot, it was only necessary to fit the foot; and from that idea came the Faultless Fitting "DOROTHY DODD" Shoe.

Then, too, women's feet had been sacrificed to style. A stylish shoe was expected to be uncomfortable. Yet the lines of the foot as Nature traces them are beautiful. They were the inspiration of Greek sculptors. What an absurdity to have a style in shoes which disfigures Nature's lines of beauty.

And so it was that studying the natural lines of the foot, the "DOROTHY DODD" was made the most stylish as well as the most comfortable of shoes. It is a long step from prison to palace and no woman ever yet sacrificed the palace luxury of the "DOROTHY DODD" to go back to the old-time pangs and pains of prison shoes.

Every footwear need finds its answer in the "DOROTHY DODD." It is made in all leathers, includes shapes for all types of feet and styles for all kinds of service. Especially noteworthy are the new, low top, mannish styles for Fall. They are unusually smart and distinctly the vogue.

MAGAZINE NOTES

The notable hunting trips which Theodore Roosevelt has taken in the past four years will form the subject of several chapters in his new book, which is to appear this fall under the title "Outdoor Pastimes of An American Hunter." It will be remembered that the two articles entitled," With the Cougar Hounds" were printed in SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE in 1901, and Mr. Roosevelt's description of his recent hunts in Colorado and Oklahoma this Spring will appear in SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE in the October and November numbers. "A Colorado Bear Hunt" will lead the October issue, with many attractive illustrations from photographs by Dr. Alexander Lambert and Philip B. Stewart, the friends who accompanied him on the expedition. There are stirring passages describing the allday ride while tracking a big bear and the successful climax of the chase. The life in camp is described with the enthusiasm and accuracy of a veteran sports

man, and there is a Mr. Roosevelt and Gen. Young at the start of the wolf hunt great deal of valuable

observation, the fruit of hunting trips for twentyive years, in regard to the habits of the bear. The author's characterization of the various dogs n the pack gives them an individuality which dds to the humors of the hunt. In November he article entitled "A Wolf Hunt in Oklahoma" vill appear. This one will be very fully illusrated, from the photographs of Dr. Lambert and

daring and nerve. Coursing over the Oklahoma prairies, after a pack of trained hounds running at full speed, is described with an exhilaration and zest that make this one of the best of Mr. Roosevelt's hunting articles. Both the bear hunt and wolf hunt contain humorous and appreciative descriptions of the guides and companions of the trip. The narrative abounds in good spirits and the love of true sport, and that appreciation of the good qualities of all kinds of men which is so characteristic of the author.

Before leaving for his Summer vacation in Europe, which he always devotes to paintingthis year much of his time will be spent in Venice-Mr. F. Hopkinson Smith left with the Editor of SCRIB

NER'S MAGAZINE the revised manuscript of his new novel, "The Tides of Barnegat," the first chapter of which will appear in the November number. Few contemporary writers know the men and women of the typical coast towns, and especially the hardy men of the lighthouse and life-saving services so well as Mr. Smith. Two of his greatest successes, it will be remembered,

were Tom Grogan, which told the story of a woman contractor engaged on the work of a Government breakwater, and Caleb West, Master Diver.

From the first Mrs. Wharton's serial "The House of Mirth" has attracted the attention of critical readers, and its success from a literary point of view was early assured. With the development of the story the interest in its progress has grown constantly, until to-day it is the most talked about and the most praised story of many years. The unanimity of opinion as expressed in the leading newspapers throughout the country indicates that it will undoubtedly take its place as the author's highest achievement and as one of the few really great novels of American life.

In these days when so many efforts are being made to cultivate a taste for good literature in both public and private schools by specially selected books of supplementary reading, it is only natural that the Magazines should more and more attract the attention of progressive teachers. Coming into the home or school library once a month, the Magazine puts an immense amount of widely varied literature before the young reader, and there are few tastes that may not find something of special interest. The great value of the Magazine in this direction seems to be in the fact of its current importance. It is typical of the best literature of our own time.

The publishers of Scribner's Magazine have recently compiled a little pamphlet, giving in at brief and of course incomplete manner a very interesting summary, under special classified groupings, of some of the notable things the Magazine has published since its foundation in 1887. The impressive cumulative value of the showing therein will no doubt be a surprise to even some of those most familiar with the magazine's achievements. This will be sent free to anyone who wishes it. Subscribers who wish to inform friends in a convincing way regarding the Magazine's usefulness and importance as a repository of good literature will find this pamphlet very helpful. It is illustrated with over 100 examples of the work of famous artists.

Even a year or so of the Magazine gives the reader what in reality amounts to a very good reference library. Take, for instance, the subject of History, and see how comprehensive is the showing in this Magazine for even a very short

time. Among the notable things that will be readily remembered by every reader are Senator Lodge's "Story of the Revolution," President E. Benjamin Andrews's "The History of the Last Quarter Century," President Roosevelt's famous story of the Rough-Riders, and his "Cromwell," a number of brilliant articles on the Spanish War by Richard Harding Davis, and many others: Senator Hoar's Reminiscences, Gen. John B. Gordon's Reminiscences, Ex-Minis er Washburne's papers on the Franco-Prussian War, articles by Henry M. Stanley, Genl. Sheridan, and many other highly important contributions to the record of our time. The Boer War, the accomplishments of our army in the Philippines, and the Russo-Japanese War have furnished topics for the ablest correspondents of to-day. There is no subject that would naturally appeal to the pu pils of our High Schools that is not discussed in the Magazine's pages. Travel, adventure, biography, personal reminiscences, sociology, philanthropy, science, natural history, studies of the conditions of modern life (the Railway and Steamship articles among others), the arts, music and the drama, great modern expositions, sports and athletics; in fact, everything that the world is doing and accomplishing offers material for the Magazine. Teachers have long since discovered that supplementary reading bearing on current affairs that are being talked about and discussed in the newspapers is a very sure way of retaining the pupils' interest and of directing their attention to reading that really amounts to something Good fiction, too, has its part in education, and in this SCRIBNER'S has always held a foremost place.

There are few communities where there are no many readers who would appreciate having their attention called to some particular magazine lit erary feature or features in which they would be interested if they only knew of it. The fact i that in these days of many magazines unless one attention is specially called to important under takings of a particular one, many valuable thing are easily overlooked. SCRIBNER'S is a tradition in so many families that it is a comparatively easy matter for its representatives to secure additiona subscriptions for it in their immediate neighbor hood by simply calling attention to what it doing.

The publishers have ecently devised a pla of work for securing new subscribers that the believe will specially interest high-school pupil and teachers who may have some time to spar which they would like to put to profitable an agreeable use. Further information concernin this will be gladly sent upon request.
