A MISTAKEN IDEA

' LADIES' SHOE FASHIONS. JIIGH HEELS PREVAIL. SOME NKW STYLES. A somewhat mistaken impression recently entertained amongst ladies was the prediction that the low-heeled shoe had conic to stay for a long time, but experience amongst experienced footwear retailers, indicates that fashion i'oiinoisse;irs, as well as the general pubi:c, have far from deserted the "old love." This point was referred to to-day when Mr. T. (lark, one of Auckland.-, leading men in the trade, mentioned thai high heels were as popular as ever and I lie Hatter heel was only asked for ami used to a limited extent. Mr. Clark, who learnt hi- business in Auckland and hits been J,"j years serving I'm public in this city, pointed out lo the "Star" representative the very wide, raiigtavaHabit of ladies' superior nhoes. I'bc strap varieties, he continued, .vi" , - iimv very considerably worn. A typical example exhibited war: a graceful shape m nigger brown, with brown kid -lr.i;>and buttons. An equally pleasing was a black suede with patent at raps and jewelled buckles. Hn.nze -{ley and other reserved shades still obtain. wli.-iv. as the Court ►hoes, in paten' black leather, which had a tremendous -ale at one time, are now mostly chosen for evening wear. Mr Clark's showca-e r.ml window displays are certainly evidi-.ici of front-rank style, and above all, quality. ANOTHER T. CLARK EXTENSION. In these days of keen competition people like to know that the linns they patronise keep abreast of tin* times, and in dealing with the T. Dark .-imp.- at 14-20, Victoria Street, and at the Three Lamps, lVn.-onby, they have not lut-n mistaken in their confidence, for .Mr. (.lark has built up U oolllld lootwear distributing connection solely on .i reputation for c]uaiity and satisfaction. Men's, ladies, and children.- departments in Ins stores have always bee;, stocked with tile latest and best procurable" in the boot and shoe 'mc. and patronage has been retained and increased by the practical proof of quality and good value. In recognition of this support, ami to meet a growing demand tor I. (lark footwear, a new and up-to-date branch has now been opened at No. :>:i, Karangahapc Road, in the new building ulonj! near the top of Queen Street. This extension ha* also enabled the proprietor to increase order* considerably . and thereby to effect reductions that should constitute a further inducement for i those who will lie selecting boots and shoes next week or later for winter I wear. The flood nana of Mr. (lark stands behind every purchase, and .-ustomers can rely on* receiving ih.it si courteous attention at the new Newton shop as distinguished the service at the main emporium and showrooms in \ ietoria Street.
