Pretty Wo;tSp Will Go EarcfO0t to I:atlc
In tl,o Sea Mex. Summer.
1t is said that fashion next summer
Will kindly permit ladies at seaside re-
sorts to batho without stockings and
stylish young women are already having
their feet prepared for next seasons
campaign. Many feet which look just
too captivating for anything in shoes
and stockings arc not altogether lovely
when exposed to view, and feminine
owners of such defective cxtremitics arc
now invoking tho aid Of the p:,licurists
to mako them presentable. Civilization
and high shoes have inflicted many
wrongs upon the human understanding,
and many ladies recognize that il they
are to mako impressions upon tho mas
culine heart as we'll as upon tho sand
with their feet next summer they must
put themselves upon a better footing
There are comparatively few Trilby
! feet i'll real life, few which arc perfect
in form and entirely free from blemish.
Nevertheless Du Niaurier's rhapsody
over tho beauty of Trilby's foot may be
| to q certain extent responsible for tho
general note of preparation for tho ex-
| hibition of feminine feet next summer
| Many women who have read his novel
may be anxious to prove that they have
something i'll that line not entirely un-
| worthy Of admiration. And why should
not pretty foot inspire the poet and
the artist quito as much as hand or %
lady's eyebrow?
Great execution has been done with
the feminine foot through all tho cen-
turics. Even with its charms concealed
by shoes and stockings it has proved
4 one of tho most formidable of womanly
weapons. With it twoman has lured man
on and OIL and on, and with it, when
she has wearied of playing With him,
she has administered tho coup do grace.
But when it shines forth next summer
in all its lovcliness, unadorned by any
thing but its own beauty, it will be SIM
ply irresistible. No bachelor will bo safe
at tho seaside. Tho most hardened and
cynical will capitulate at the sight CT
the thousands Of snowy feet patterins
over the sandy beach in unconyention:!
freedom or dcmurcly presented for mas
culinc inspection and approval.-Balti.
