lady's husband came in after Or. --.
He said his wife never had such a tad
spell of hysteria IS she was then having.

largued. on the sayso of the salesman, that
l was perfectly comfortable. and wore the
shoes off. Some how the endeavor didn I
work we'll and by night l was almost u
jihherlng idiot and hated mankind, oh.
now my feet did hurt. BY bedtime | was
way off from sanity and the next morn
ing l had to walk on my hands, and so
continued for week. In order to be rid
of the shoes | tried to give them to u
niger who acted as an ornament on my

Post reporter yesterday. II would be-
