The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-08-05
BY Emily IIIingWoTth
The third of six articles, written
especially for The Day Book by the
famous dancer, hailed by public and
critics as the modern-day Venus and
the "PaYIoWa of America"

The Greek lady of the Venus statue
could never have batted 1000 as a
beauty if she had worn French heels.
Look at your little plaster model
of the Venus de Milo or call up
mental picture of that wonderful
figure, and ask yourself if the Greek
woman who posed 23O0 years ago
for the statue ever wore high heels.
Any one who would acquire a good
figure must consider the foundation,
the feet.
During the day your feet are the
most active parts of your body, and
usually have the least thought and
time devoted to their comfort.
If most girls gave One-third the
time to their feet they do to their
faces, their whole appearance would
be greatly improved.
Present-day shoes, with high heels
and pointed toes, are unnatural Gre
ations, harmful not only to the feet,
but to the health of the whole body.
If the Venus lady walked about in
such shoes as nine-tenths of the
women today wear, she could not
have retained her beautiful figure.
In a short time she would have
suffered from broken arches and.
nervous troubles, and there would

have been a terrible slump not only
in the figure, but in the average of
this woman, who for 2300 years has
batted 1000 as a beauty.
You can learn what the human
feet mean to the human system by
studying your own and those of a
baby
The space across the baby's toes
is the broadest part Of the foot. Ten
to one, the space across your toes
is not.
The advantage of the comparison
is all in the baby's favor. The baby's
toes are as Nature plans everybody's
toes.
Mother Nature wants the toes to
take an important part in balancing
the human body.
But Dame Fashion says we must
bunch the toes up into a pointed
mass and prop the heels up on pieces
of leather two or three inches high.
And most of us do what Dame
Fashion says.
At least in the matter of shoes and
cOrsets, do not.
When 1 was told by my first in
structor in dancing that l must give
UP high heels for ever and a day, I
refused. 1 said I would give up all
my ambitions as a dancer first.
For weeks 1 wore high heels,
changing to low, broad ones when I
reached the school.
But l did give up high heels and
my feet have never suffered from
doing it.
