Some sympathetic glances were

r NEVER touch my own feet I
have three maids who do
- nothing else but care for
them. One washes and messages
them One puts on my stockings
and shoes. The third is the ar
tlste who under my direction en-
bellishes them.
I put my feet If not before my
face at lest on equality with 1t.
1t is q contortionist phrase you say.
Non, mean 1t not literally but
aesthetically, picturesquely.
Feet have too long been woman's
most neglected possession. They
are a basis OF ornamentation which
she has passed over. She has
looked upon them merely as some
thing to walk on. A clever AmeTi-
can once recited me some verses
by another clever American which
reflect the inefficient idea. I
memorized them:
My feet are very useful;
/ put them on the ground,
Then all do Is steer them
And they take me all around.
-Gellet Burgess.
And feet are 30 much more than
thatl Listen: 1 tried experiments
when the first CLEAN of my new
philosophy came to me. / found
that there are three points on
which the eye rests, the face, the
hands, the feet. A woman may
have a beautiful face and beauti-
full hands, but If her shoes and
stockings are untidy and shabby
they kill the whole effect On the
other hand, a woman who is beau
tifully shod, beautifully stockinged,
may be very ugly, may not be we'll
dressed, may have rough hands
but her feet will more than carry
her through.
One says Of the first: "Beauti-
full face, beautiful dress, beautiful
hands-but did you see her feetl"
OF the second they say, "Yes, she's
not pretty, but did you see her
feet!" There is a world Of differ
ence between the two remarks.
Why is the emphasis always laid
upon the feet?
Why is 1t that no matter how
wen you are uItSStus no" Well
groomed. your measure Of self ap-
praisal is always adjusted to the
condition of your shoes? 1t Is so
II everything else Is all right and
your shoes are shabby you feel
shabby, and people think you
shabby. But IL you are threadbare
everywhere else and have on a,
pair OF nice, new, perfectly fitting
ornamental shoes you feel well
dressed and every one thinks you
we'll dressed. 1s 1t not so?
Why then has this important
part OF us been SO neglected
looked upon simply as something
useful which carry us around when
we steer them?
The ancient women and the wo-
men Of the East know better It
was the little tinkling feet of Sa-
lone that won Herod: Your lit
tie feet will be like little white
doves. They will be like little
white flowers that dance upon the
trees" The women of the East
stain them artfully with henna;
they hang chains of gold and
jewels upon them. They are eff
ficient women, those women OF the
East, and they know values-far,
far better than we OF the West.
They realize their decorative
value.
