1T MAY COME.
MANY Women Are Looking for
a Fashion for Comforta bic
Shoes.

Once you would have been perfect
1y certain that a smart young woman
COULD not really look smart or Wen
dressed or in any way attractive
with the total disregard for the waist
line that now characterizes the
jeunne file. 1t simply couldn't be
done. Moreover. there was time
when it would have seemed folly to
try to look smart in street SUIT
without a high-collared blouse True.
tightly fitting bodies. not to say
bodices that positively construct, are
uncomfortable. Ditto high collars.
But it was the price in discomfort
that one paid for the privilege OF
looking smart and well dressed.
And now you feel as convinced as
we did then that a smart young wom-
an could not continue to look smart
wearing a shoe that is built entirely
for comfort. True, round toes are
permitted in the French type of shoe,
but these shoes have high heels; and
low heels are seen on the English
type of oxford. but then these shoes
have the fiat, long vamp and taper
ing last that are as fatiguing TO many
feet as the high heel is TO many
others In warm weather we are
especially reminded of the discomfort
of smart footwear.
A young Portuguese woman re-
Gently accepted the verdict from the
doctor here that she had brought on
fallen arches because of high heels
and improperly shaped shoes, and she
unflinchingly assumed the corrective
shoes that the doctor prescribed
heavy-toed, broad-heeled shoes that
Just to wear seems to take the coQue-
try out of existence.
Il can wear them for a while" She
told the doctor. But when ! go
home, DOCTOR with those shoes one
could never get a husband in Por-
tugal"
And. though the doctor didn't say
so, he was rejecting to himself that
there might be difficulties of the
same sort in this land of the brave
and the free. 1t was perfectly legiti-
mate objection. 1t was the same OBJ
lection that countless women might
have raised against giving up tight
corsets a generation ago.
Yet tight corsets did go and the
corset makers, so far from being
harmed by the change. actually prof
tied by it..
So may it not be with shoes? 1t
is all matter of fashion and fashion
is often a state of mind. If we got
to the point where a perfectly nor
NAL foot line looked right with the
smart silhouette-possibly a foot in
Grecian sandals or in a fiat little
slipper of 1S20-then there would be
no more argument about it.
And, if fashion could bring about
the one change she could bring about
the other. But all the shoe cranks
in the world could do no more than
did the dress reformerS who really
had nothing to do with the passing
of the hour-glass silhouette.
