has lost its expanse of tread; such a foot has

1t sometimes happens for a time that these
mistakes in regard TO the boot and shoe are in
creased by the plan of raising the heel, and let

De conceived. By this means the body, which
should naturally be balanced on q most beautt-

only prevented from falling forward by the &C
uon OF the muscles, which counter balance the
mechanical error. But all this Is at the expense
OF lost muscular effort along the whole line Of
the muscular track, from the heels actually to
the back OF the head-a loss of force which is
absolutely useless, and. as have known In sew

to these evils arising from the pointed heeled
boot, there are yet two more. In the first place,
the elastic spring of the arch being broken by

Its influence as an agent OF publicity has in

from LOO to 1900 per month in the busy
