ELEvATING THE FRENCH HEEL

one OF Mrs. Doherty's French heels
got caught in a Broadway cable slot
yesterday and she was held fast there
until a car came along and butted her
into freedom again. The tangled heel
remained in the slot, and with but one
Fren h silt left, Mrs. Doherty went
home, having a great many ups and
downs on the way.
The French heel has not exactly kept
pace with modern buildings in the
cloud-piercing business. 1t comes pretty
high, but there is always plenty OF room
In the upper air and it may soar higher
sun The accident to Mrs Doherty
should show shoemakers a new use to
which the French heel can be put.
II II is made thin and long enough, the
ladies who wear Looie Kanz shoes may
dip their heels in the cable slot, catch
them on the cable and scoot up and
DOWN the broadway tracks at thel' ease

that round thousand sore-eyed babies
