these public assertions, 1t is
known that there are few women
In the Washington circle whose

She is not a suffraget, for she

Mrs. Marshall has made close

Miss Pollards foot is so beauti-

do.
And the smallest shoe made
for women is far too large.
So this modern Cinderella or

they are put on display as femin-
inc curiosities.
