PAY BIG PRICE FOR VANITY
English Women Said to Be Resortlno
to Extreme Measures to Reduce
Size Of Their Feet.


Fashions sometimes travel slowly.
Now that the centuries-old bandaging
Of women's feet. to reduce their size
is being given up in China, the prac-
tice has cropped out in London. A
beauty specialist is responsible. Since
women have taken to short dresses
they have pinched their feet in smaller
shoes, but the reduction Of half size
in the footgear does not make an ef-
feet OF daintiness.
So the clever faker devised a method
Of shrinking feet. He applies astrin-
gent chemicals and binds the feet in
a rubber bandage. The tissues shrink
and shrivel up under this process. and
the victim of this fad can appear to
have very dainty feet when shod in
glove-htting shoes; but her wrinkled.
bony feet, when uncovered, are shock
ingly ugly.
The fad is costly. for the faker
charges big fees, and physicians pre-
dict that the victims of this maltreat-
ment will be unable to walk at all
