The most beautiful foot is the slender
one. The stylish girl recognizes this
fact. Her shoes arr always large
enough to avoid cramping the foot, and
yet they are snug and wonderfully neat
and delicate. That is the reason why
some girls can dance all night without
rest, while others have to retire early
from a brilliant ball, leaving their
hearts behind--in case they do not
dance and suffer so much with their
feet as to preclude the possibility of
real enjoyment. II girl wears a
proper shoe, when the foot is bare, and
she stands upon 1t in the privacy of
her bedroom, it will be as pretty and
delicate as baby'G. The instep would
be high, the heel deicately formed, the
skin as white as a.abaster. with pos
sibly blue veins showing through. The
general form of the foot will be slen-
der. the toes tapering parallel, and
separated by about the thickness of a
sheet of paper, and adorned with pink
tinted nails. A girl who has such feet
as these-and there are many who
have them-well may take pride and
pleasure in contemplating them.
