Boots and shoes have round or sq,l;ire
toes-the pointed ones are supposed to
have gone out-but I think they are

others make the feet look too large.

cidedly more scanty and as much
closer as the ingenuity of aressmakers
car smooth it. A silk stocking fit on
an attenuated woman is the deal Of all
dress artists
Some of the models for dress bon

terial matching the dress
