PERFECT FOOT DISCOVERED
Belongs to a Chicago Woman,
and, of Course, It's Not Small.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune.


Chicago, Jan. 26.-The perfect foot has
been discovered. 1t is said to correspond
In every way with the ideal foot out
lined by dorado Taft, the sculptor, who
declared the perfect shape was becom-
ing extinct. The foot belongs to Edna
Howard Covert. a young woman attor-
ney OF this city. 1t was discovered by
DR. Helen Reynolds Kellogg. who is a
friend of Miss Covert.
Miss Covert while visiting the physi-
clan on Thursday evening took off her
shoe. for even perfect foot may pain at
times. DR.. Kellogg Immediately noticed
the beauty OF the arch and general lines
of the foot. and took out her tapeline
and measured it. The ankle and instep
were exactly the sculptors ideal.
Although Miss Coverts foot is perfect,
II is not small. She wears a No shoe,
but the shape of the foot makes 1t APP
pear small. Sketches and photographs
of the foot will be used as exhibits in a
lecture on Tuesday night by Or. Kel-
logg.

The Duke returned from washington

ant Colonel Lowther. his military ald'
and went directly TO the Reid mousse
During the forenoon he visited the Ap-
neIlate Division of the Supreme Court
at Madison avenue and 25th street. ana

George L. Ingraham showed the royal
visitor the paintings that adorn the walls
and pointed out other decorations Whlch
had made the structure notable among
buildings of justice.
Before leaving the ambassadors house
for the train last night his royal hlgh-
ness. through Colonel Lowther, gave
some of his general impressions OF the
citv while here saying that he was
greatly, pleased with the widespread hos
pitality and kindly greetings he had ex-
perienced wherever he went, and only re-
gretted that he was unable to accept
one-fifth Of the invitations he had re-
ceived.
He would like to pay another visit to
New York. it was added, but was un-
aware what restraint his future duties
might place upon him. He had been
glad of the opportunity Of appearing In
formally, and had not been annoyed or
embarrassed by the curiosity of the
crowds. but realized that il all had been
manifestation of the general Kindiy
spirit of greeting.
He had enjoyed his morning and even

afforded an opportunity Of studying the

Sees an individuality in City.

The Duke had been particularly i'm
pressed with the great height and sym
metry Of the buildings in the city, which
were, as he thought, fitting examples or
the progressive spirit of America. II
had occurred TO the Duke that New
York had a distinct individuality of its
own. difficult TO analyze. but quite posi-
tive. and different from that of any other
city he had ever visited. He had been
greatly interested in the extensive pri-
vate and public collections of paintings
and objects Of art he had seen.
He had been very glad to have the
opportunity to talk informally with SO
many representative Americans, and had
found the interchange of ideas delight
ful.
Colonel Lowther was asked If the Duke
had heard OF a prospective visit of the
King and Queen Of England to New
York He said that the Duke was not
aware OF any forthcoming visit here OF
the King and Queen, but hoped they
would come adding that the Duke thor
oughly believed, judging from his own
experience. that they would be greatly
pleased with such visit.
Colonel Lowther issued statement for
the Duke earlier in the day in which he
said that he had been pleased with his
visit to Washington and his reception
by President Taft. Attached TO the
statement were some "notes" which the
Duke had used in his speech at the Brit
ish Embassy in Washington the night
before. They incorporated some Of his
impressions of this country and ex-
pressed regret that his second visit took
place so long after his first, forty years
