MRS. ALBERT D. MEADOR, Pr es .
It was man who said that P. S. was made especially for the use
of women; for it is in the postscript that a
woman unburdens her soul.
But P. S. also has a double double significance, inasmuch as it
also stands for
Patrician Shoes
One is the vital part of her letter and the other the vital part of
her outfit. P. S. is the last word on shoes as well as the final
word in a letter. Have our salesman show you some of the at¬
tractive new models.
