SHOES

How perfectly they fit!

And well they may ! For by combining two fittings in one shoe-a3 fitting heel with a 4 fitting forepart, for instance-you get a shoe which hugs the ankle closely. This gives that final touch of elegance and fashion which goes with a slim ankle neatly and snugly housed, without sacrificing the comfort essential for the toes.

That is the scret of the famous K Plus fittings, which actually give extra comfort. The diagram shows what the Plus fitting is.

Giving evidence concerning the nature of the articles of which com- plaint was made, Mr. G. R.

Plaintiff claimed this sum as balance das for work done and materials supplied in converting the premises from a tea-house into a restaurant. The main issue be tween the parties was whether the total of the contract was 81,394.43 or $1,200 only.

Mr. E. el Arculli, for the plain- tiff, said that the arrangement for carrying out the repairs was verbal one. His client had agreed to do the work for 81,584.45, of which 81,000 had been paid, leav ing the balance claimed. Since the issue of the writ a further payment of 8140 had been made into Court,

making a total of 81,300.

Mr. F. X. 'D'Almada, jr., who appeared for the defendant, con- tended that the agreed price for the work was $1,200 only and that his client was not liable for any fur ther payment,
