spaniel attached to chain. saying as
she entered the store that she would
like to look at some hiking shoes. She
was shown pair and tried them on.
to find that they fitted as if they had
been made for her. The shoe dealer
was pleased for he anticipated sure
sale, but his vision was quickly dis
PEELED when the lady remarked: ooh.
how they clash.". and he was at loss
to understand the reason Of her remark
until she put one neatly clad foot out
beside the spaniel as it lay upon the
floor. II want to get some hiking boots
she repeated as the shoe man removed
the boot she had tried on. but they
must match the color of my spaniel"
