 deed. for the psychology of the foot has been discussed from so many different standpoints that the subject Is now in the throes of mystery. Yes. it is mystery great and unassuming. for none of us wom- en. unless we have the daintiest feet i'm aginable. want the subject brought up in our presence. If we happen to have the necessary ankles and pink little tootsies and absence of heft we raise the skirt a little bit and display our charms to ad- vantage-or, 1t should rather be said. to the disadvantage aud envy of our dear eisters

In conse ouence l can tell yoH that her foot Is becoming larger. better shaped along the lines of true beauty and a more comfort able and dependable foot than 1t was % years ago. The reasons are simple your society woman walks great deal. gOlfs great deal.
