SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16-Two
classes of men, shoe clerks and
chiropodists, should never wed un-
happily, if San Francisco chiropod
lists are to be believed.
A woman carries her character
in her feet. it seems, and the man
who would intelligently choose his
life's mate must give his intended s
feet careful examination, with the
following points in mind:
The woman with the long, narrow
foot is quiet but ambitious and as
pires TO things cultural.
The, stubby footed woman is vi
vaciohs, but is inclined to be friv
olous.
The woman with short feet and
long toes is liberal, but hubby will
have deuce of a time keeping her
in shoes.
The Miss with long feet and short
toes is penurious.
The normal woman has normal
feet-she's domestic.
High heeled, pointed toe shoes on
n woman betoken shallow minded
ness. She may be a Sheba, so watch
your step.
The sensible girl wears sensible
shoes-so, cherchez lie pied, as it
