This foot that I fell in love with ] saw
lust for an instant as the woman to whom
# belonged drew it up to the other step
and the screen hid her so that I hadn't the
eJshtest idea VINO she was, young or old
h.ieous or beautiful. But I made up my
mind would find out. But you know how
il is in a room filed with people-it is not
always easy TO get aross it, especially if

reached the screen I almost gave up my
foot for lost. You can't see a woman 5

she is on the street I suppose my divin-

went up the steps.
u did find her after a time, but I had
made a mistake A man shouldn't fall in
love with less than two feet, and he should
see how they walk. There is everything
in the way a woman walks. The woman
whose foot l had admlred-her feet were
beautiful, too-walked in a listless way
She drew one foot after the other, Ian
euidy. That might mean that she was
selfish, incident, delicate. or any number
of other things. Just notice women who
walk that way and see if I am not right
Then notice the woman who walks not
exactly with a heavy step, but comes down
hat-footed every time. She would make a
good business manager, and she might

Then there is the woman who shakes the
room When she walks. She may or may
net be over plump, and she is very likely
cheerful and jolly. You like her, but her
