SIZE OF FEET AN ISSUE.
Germany Disputes Claim of France
That Parisians Possess Smallest.

Special Cablegram to The Star,
BERLIN. August GA statement in a
French newspaper to the effect that the
women OF Paris possess the smallest feet
in the world has caused a controversy
between France and Germany which
makes the Morocco dispute feeble by COM
parison. The assertion has occasioned an
immense amount of heart-burning In Ber-
lin, where writer's to the newspapers de-
clare that such a sweeping assertion is
likely to cause grave injury to the repu-
tation Of German women.
The feet of Parisienne are In proper
tion to her body, which Is not small says
one writer He is convinced that the
German women in many districts have
smaller feet in proportion to their bodies
than French women. This champion oil
his country's fair sex also adds that
German women do not incase their feet
in instruments of torture in order to
look smart, as do the Parisiennes.
According to another writer an exces-
sively small foot is not beautiful, and
he concluded that, without doubt, German
women are more beautiful than French
women, and especially Parisiennes.
The basis of an agreement has been
proposed by one German disputant. While
contesting the assertion that the, women
of Paris have the smallest feet In the
world, he admits that they are so admi-
rably shod that they appear to have the
smallest feet.
