American Woman:
Feet Best in World
French Shoe King Gives
Women Tips on Heel
Health and Beauty.
by YANTORNY u. HAND.
10y Universal Service.l

PARIS. June 1.-THE shoe Is tho
foundation of woman's appearance.
II IL does not fit we'll her health Is
ruined: IL 1t does not look well her
appearance is spoiled. Women spend
fortunes on clothes and hats and lin
gcric. yet they always complain about
paying too much for shoes.
AS matter of fact, they should
first be well shod. and the rest OF the
wardrobe will take care of itself AL
most any one who has taste can get
up fairly attractive dress. Only {,
capable shoemaker can make Il WELL
fitting shoe.
American women have tho best
looking feet in the world. They also
understand the value of the low
heelcd shoe. but often choose n too
masculine shape. The wheeled
shoe can be just as feminine as II
hiEh-hccled one. provided it is we'll
built. No matter how low the heel,
the instep should fit snugly.
For walking the low-hcclcd shoe is
the only type permissible. For after
room wear, graceful pumps of Col
onial ties are the best. For evening
wear there is no limit TO the height
of heels or the fancy OF materials.
Silks and velvctS, brocadcs, precious
stones. feathers-evcrythin is ac-
ccptablc, provided the slipper har-
monizes with the gown.
For use around the house n sandal
that holds the feet in shape. yet yields
sufficiently to allow it to rest, is ideal.
