1t doesn't matter much what a
girls dress looks like below the
waist, provided it flares sufficiently
around the feet. The continued

travagance, would be hard to under
stand were it not for the fact that
the contrast between skirt and feet
gives the latter a diminutive ap-
pearance which few women can re-
sist; and if they buy their shoes
from Bailey, their feet will look
still smaller and prettier.
