High ,,HeeIs Lessen Vitality.

High heels prevail in spite of the
promise of something wiser in
build coming into popular favor.
Yet, to quote a well-known doctor
mo woman pretends that she
is comfortable when she is
wearing high heels nor can she
hope to be graceful when wear
ing them, for the body is thrown
out of poise and the action of the
feet is restricted. More serious
than her awkwardness is the
eventual injury to her health.
For in the effort to preserve her
equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward, depressing the
chest; breathing is interfered
with, and that means poorer
blood and a final decrease in vi
taIity. This comes gradually,
but it is inevitable when wom-
an persists in wearing very high
heels. Her heels should cod
