Men Is as much a martyr to fash
ion as woman. He suffers Just as
deep mental and physical agony for
the sake OF decking himself stylishly
as she does. Consider the matter OF
shoes, for example. A womans shoe
is thin and light and flexible. II is
so thin and light and flexible that
she can buy a pair three-quarters OF
size too small for her and wear
them out OF her shoe store without
dropping a tear.
shoe OF today especially; for men
were a whisper saner in their fash
ions 10 or 10 years ago-is neither
thin nor light nor flexible. A man
does not shade his shoe size three
quarters OF a point-not more than
once anyway. And You do not see
him wearing his new pair out of a
store without dropping a tear-not
very often.
Times have changed. Once a
mans feet broke bis new shoes in.
Now his new shoes break HIS feet in.
Every day you pass poor wretches
staggering along the sidewalk with
their faces twisted IN agony and the
tears running over. They are trying
TO conquer their new set OF Cigar
boxes. And the sight IS very sad
denins.
It IS particularly saddening be-
cause It brings sharply TO mind the
last similar experience you yourself
went through. II makes you recall
the morning you left a shoe store
with the pair OF shoes which is
wearing you out now. You re-
member the details OF that calamity
very clearly. The moment for In
stance, when you sat down in a shoe

prietor made his first sweep with the
shining rag across your blistered
toes stands out in your memory like
a towering milestone. You can feel
the pain OF that scraping rag as II
It were darting through you now.
You can hear the cry you uttered,
see the ogling people gathering
around, feel the dismal enIbarrass-
ment OF Il all as wildly as II you
were passing through the very ex-
perience this instant. And you are
sad.

more OF one. It Is not credible that
