woman in the shop, do you suppose
that young woman there-(pointing to
a photograph of a woman balancing
airily on one great toe)-how many
shoes do you suppose she ordered here
yesterday? Two hundred pair. Almost
as many as some people wear in life
time, isn't it? She's going to Australia,

Shoes"

hind the footlights, does not apply to
these wares. They are of the best ma

more than any shoes of any sort in this
