ENGLISH WOMEN CRITICISED.
Eugene Field Says Too Many of Them
Have Big Feet and Drink Gin.
From the Chicago Neios.

HTOHt Ec OHtCuNO httOSs
LONDON, March 6-Every American
woman who sojourns in London raises her
voice against the large and ill-fitting shoes
which she finds here. The natives seek TO
justify the monstrosities on the plea that
the feet should be clad loosely and stoutly
The truth, however, is that English women
have big feet--abnormally big feet More
over, marvelously low insteps seem to be a
characteristic of the typical English feet.
The English women are exceedingly sensi-
tive upon the subject OF their prodIgious
pedals, and they make 1t a point to talk of
the propriety of wearing large boots and
shoes in order to avert corns and other SINH
lar discomfitures: yet am told by dealers in
footwear that corns and bunions are quite
as prevalent here as elsewhere Yet there
have beel English ladies with wonderfully
small teet. Ole of the famous beauties of
the court of George ". wore shoe only
five inches in length, yet she was above
medium hight and was otherwise symmet-
rically proportional. Lacing is vice that
obtains very generally among the women
of this country; nowhere else are to be seen
such slender waists as are TO BE- found here.
The vice of tight lacing is practsed in every
class of society; be she duchess or blrmaid,
the native woman INDUCES witl the same
persi stence her vanity in this particular.
Another abominable practice that obtains
among English women is that of indulgence
in spirituous liquors. Gin. rum and Scotch
whisky are freely taken by women Of every
class here. | suspect that if the English
houses were better heated there would be a
much smaller demand for liquor. AS it is,
everybody drinks more or less land gener-
ally more) in order to keep warm. The
freedom with which women frequent the
taprooms is simply shocking. 1t is a COM
mon sight of an evening to see a woman
with babe in her arms Keeling in or out of
public barroom. These wretched Great
ures belong, of course, to the lower class.
but In the so-called better classes of society
guzzling obtains to quite as considerable an
extent 1t is the alcohol they have con-
sumed that gives to so very many OF the
swell ladies to bs seen in London the
rubescent noses, the coarse, fiabby cheeks,
the purple lips and the swollen eyelids that
have come to be regarded as essentials to
typical English face
