Low HEELS NOT FOR
WOMEN OF CAPITAL,
SAY SHOE EXPERTS
Idea Is Ridiculous, Declare
ChiropodiSt and
g. Dealers.

Washington's ultra ia shiona bles were
indignant this morning on hearing of
the announcement of the Southern
Shoe Retailers Association, in conven-
tion at Atlanta opposing the making
of shoes with heels over half an inch
in height.
Society women interviewed on the
subject scoffed at the attempt of the
shoe interests to make them wear shoes
with such low heels, while the dealers
asserted that the idea was absurd and
could not be forced on the public.
Miss May Gibbons, the Connecticut
avenue chiropodist, who numbers
among her clientile the feminine elect
of the city, and who has often during
her twenty years experience here Wis.,
tied the wives of Presidents and ad-
vised them and the women of the Dip
lomatic Corps on what shoes to wear,
was vigorous in her denunciation OF
the "half-inch" heel shoe.
There is not Il society woman in the
city that would ruin the appearance
of her foot by wearing such an aoor-
ton" said Miss Gibbons this morning
",rhe wearing of the half-inch hee
would have the same effect. Already
many of the society women of the city
have suffered the distiguration OF then
feet by attempting the square, bulldoe
toes. Imagine the change shoe
of this latter type would make in the
pretty feet of our women"
Joseph A. Berberich, a well-knowr
shoe man, declares that the idea of try
ing to make the public take to shoes
with half-inch heels is absurd.
"Eyen men would object to wearing
heels of such height" said Mr.. Berber
ich this morning. 1T is true that tn,
tendency within the last few years Il
TO a lower heel. But the idea or sug
getting a half-inch heel for women Il
out of the question entirely. surel!
there is some mistake concerning tn,
associations action regarding such low
heel footwear"
Fred Hahn, of the firm of Hahn {
Co, declared that the time Woul'
never come when women would wea
such low heels on their shoes.
