In Love With Her Heels.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Fell in love with her hcels?''
1t was a midd,e-aged man of dignifed de-
meanor who used the expression.
II mean exactly what say" he continued.
az fell in love with her heels and married her.
In plain language, while sitting on a hotel
veranda at a summer resort Years ago /, a friy-
olous young man Of the day, was attracted By
pair Of heels in front Of me. They belonged

engaged in rocking and reading. had never
seen her face. In fact, / didnt know whether
she was young or well on into the thirties.
my attention had not been attracted by her
head, or hair, or style of dress or anything
about her that visible above the back OF
the chair. No, nothing; but in some way or
other had cast furtiye glance at her feet.
which were quite visible below her dress. Yet
/ could really only zee her heels. They fairly
fascinated me. One look ran into another
until sat there with my eyes fastened upon
these two dainty little heels, thrust into per-
fectly fitting low hid shoes, not the French
abnormities, but common sense shoes.
81 recoilect the very color of her stockings
which chung so glove-like to her feet that /
could see the outline of the tendon Achilles.
Yes. possibly. IL was bit rude on my part to
sit there watching the heels Of those small.
shapely feet, while their owner, unconscious Of
my bad manners, was calmly reading and rock
ing, but as my eyes followed their rise and fall
those two little heels is like? She may not be
fair in feature OF comely in form. but III wager
good deal that she is as tidy maiden as one
would meet in days journey
'.And SO / sat there, minute after minute,
watching those little heels they and fell.
Suddenly the owner closed her book and sprsng
up, and as she glanced at me half fancied she
knew what bad been abont At any rate she
blushed deeply and SO did l. Before the day
had passed made her acquaintance and found
her to be even more than my fancy had pic
tured her. Her heels had told the plain un-
vanished truth. She was just the girl had
been looking for, and, would you believe il. we
have been married now fifteen years and in
health or sickness never have seen Der stock
ings down at the heels.
''She is still the same reiigiousiy tidy woman
that she was AZ girl She still walks erect and
stu puts her feet down squArely and evenly on
the ground, and no matter how long she wears a
pair Of shoes there il never any getting out Of
shape. In fact her old shoes are nv pride /
never complain when see them standing about,
for there is nothing unsighty about them
There, that's the story of how I got my wife:
