The Graceful
Woman

81 am fully convinced that there is
no necessity of the fallen arches and
the weak feet that SO deform many
women of the present time" says
Louis Chalif, exponent of the classical
dance.
I'm the last few years, since young
women have taken to classical dane
ing, their feet have improved greatly;
and also since women have taken to
walking, golfing, tennis and other
sports the Improvement has been
marked. The result is that woman
may wear her sport shoe, her walk
ing shoe and her evening shoe all
with equal comfort and that is be-
cause she has developed a strong foot.
"The woman who sits the greater
part of the day does not develop the
muscles of the feet and so she has not
the fallen arch, but the weak feet.
The woman who is almost constantly
on her feet has not developed sufficient
strength to support the weight of her
body, so she has fallen arch I'M
mediately she resorts to artificial sup
ports. Ill-ftting shoes contribute to
the muscular mal-conditions of the
feet, for the nerves of the foot are
cramped and the free circulation of
blood interferred with.
eve need, and we need badly, pleas
ing methods of exercising the feet.
The best exercise that can be had for
the feet is the classic dancing, because
have seen hundreds of poor, weak
feet rejuvenated through this exer-
cise."
The foot strength and comfort
which are essential to the graceful
woman-and to every woman's happi-
!ness.--are obtained by wearing Can't
lever Shoes, whose flexible arches (not
stiff as in ordinary shoes) permit the
muscles to exercise freely while walk
ing. Shaped like the foot, there is no
pressure on the nerves, no restric-
ton OF the circulation. The flexible
arch. supports weak foot while ma
tural exercise is strengthening it.
You walk gracefully in Cantilever
Shoes. You feel we'll and YOU look
we'll. The style is correct for semi,
dress and daytime wear.

more, that fellow will never do 1T

he has of defending himself. Now

reason he. looks so thin, but he'll get
fat again when the grass gets green

Then Silky did hug him and was
happy. but Nh. Chuck didn't known
what to do about it. "You have very
fine hair" said Silky. and he began to
run his fingers through the hair on

and other American. British and
French medical officers toward the
close Of the world war have brought
forth new evidence regarding the
cause and nature Of the strange con-

that led to innumerable deaths in

Shock. or wound-shock as it is

Many Theories
There have bee numerous heo

due to paralysis of the nerves con-
