A man may BE- known by his boots;
here ia g strange sympathy between
. man and his boots. The features
nay be silent, but the character
shows Itself in the boots. Stern, hard
men wear thick, square-tosd boots;
men generally affect soft
Gathered boots with round toes. Dig
rust q man who wears bluChers; be-
wars of high.lews. Prim methodlcal
men are fond of cloth boots; they are
generally selfish. Fops and foolF are
partial to tight kid boots, with moth
sr.of pearl Dsttons ana tips. Men
in kpickerbockers generally possess
more "calf' than sense. a police
man, though dressed in multi,
may be known by his boots. Cruel
men are said to have q liking for
breaking boots. The boots of the late
Mr.. williams (the murderer) oresFed
,onsumedly. But how about the
