The Boots OF English Girls.

am glad to find that / have warm
supporters in my crusade against the
English fashion of wearing ugly boots.
A lady writes to me: i cannot say
how rejoiced | am that you are making
another effort to improve the chaussure
of English girls. The thick-soled, low.
heeled, badly fitting masses of wrinkled
tooblgness are ever with US a baneful
horror that it would be a mercy to get
rid Of The reason you give for the ex-
istence of so much unnecessary ugliness
is doubtless the true one, and / fully
agree with you as to its absurdity.
There is just as good reason, every whit,
for making girls wear at all times and
seasons thick woolen gloves about four
sizes too large, instead of nice tight
kids | do not for a moment say that
girls may not, in the country, seasona-
bly, wear, as you say, stout sensible
boots;' but what do say is that such
things are no more fitted for the dressy
promenade than is a plow-horse for
drawing the smart victoria.
In my time croquet parties were at the
full, and short dresses compelled an at
tention to ones foot gear that is now
too much excused. At that time we in
variably perched upon the tallest of
Louis XIV. heels; but now, alas! find
my daughters the only wearers of them
