New York can boast of one perfect
foot--no, two OF then1--for a pair OF
exquisltely dainty pink tinted pedal
extremities has been discovered by
those persons in pursuit of this attri-
butte in order to show visitors to the
Health Show being held in Grand
Central Palace what they ought to
possess in the way of substantial
foundation and compare it with the
deformities some Of them display or
seek to hide.
The discovery was made by Reuben
IL Gross. register OF the FIRST pediatry
Institute. and who is in charge of the
foot clinic booth at the exhibition. It
was as much OF a surprise to Mr..
Gross as it was TO Miss Elizabeth
Doyle. a nurse, OF sol West 18th
street, the proud owner of the perfect
foot, when not flaw could be found
in the bit of pink flesh she entered in
the foot contest, and entered It on a
BET, too.
If the physician IN charge of the case
on which Miss Doyle is engaged a.
nurse had not made a wager with her
that she would never dare try for the
Saturday the world might still be
searching for the perfect foot She took
the dare. and IL didn't take Mr.. Gross
long to see that out OF the hundreds Of
feet offered for examinations hers was
by far the finest pair.
She Wears High Heels.
Miss Doyle wears a Az b shoe and
rho had on high heels, pointed toes and
her to adopt a more sensible style of
shoe she replied that as a child she had
20 wear shoes that others selected, and
row she intended to wear the kind she
liked. Miss Doyle permitted photog-
raphers to take pictures OF her foot, but
she would not let them snapshot ner
face.
