To Have Smaller Feet.

The sex will rejoice to hear that an
English scientist declares that wom-
ems feet are growing smaller. He
claims that a study of former types
OF feet goes to prove that the feet Of
modern people are more shapely than
those of their ancestors or those of the
savage races. Perhaps, after all, the
mistakes of ill-fitting shoes have not
seriously deformed the general type
of foot.
