I have somewhat more than
$1,000 worth of patent-leather
shoes for young men, hall-a-
dozen shapes and several
qualities. .
What does quality mean in
patent-leather shoes? In one
it means wear; in another,
fineness Of work; in . another,
style, a certain liveliness of
curve and line that is hard to
put'into words.
Patent-leather is treacher—
ous. Nevertheless I have
good luck with these shoes.
They are worth what I mark
them. . I believe my finest at
